IceMaker (if equipped)
The icemaker is located in the freezer compartment. It
must be connected to the water supply. The appliance
must be level for the icemaker to function properly.
The water supply pressure requirements are different
based on whether or not the supplied Liebherr water filter
is installed. With the filter installed, the pressure must be
in the range of 40-90 psi (2.8-6.2 bar). Without the filter
installed the acceptable pressure range is 22-87 psi (1.5-
6 bar).
For the water supply, we recommend braided style ice
maker hoses with 1/4" connectors.
To connect a 1/4" copper line, use a 1/4" compression
nut and a metal compression ring.
To connect a 1/4" PEX line, use a 1/4" compression nut
and a plastic compression ring.
The supplied brass fitting
must be used to connect to the solenoid
as the plastic threads on the solenoid are
metric.
If you have hard water, we recommend you install a
water softener. Also, a filter must be installed if the water
contains solids such as sand.
All equipment and devices used to supply the water to
the appliance must comply with the current regulations
for your geographical area.

Electrical Requirements & Safety
A 15 amp or 20 amp, 110-120 VAC, circuit which is
grounded and protected by a circuit breaker or fuse is
required.
We recommend using a dedicated circuit for each
appliance to prevent circuit overload and the chance of
interruption to the appliance.
The appliances are equipped with a three-prong
(grounding) polarized plug for protection against possible
shock hazards.
Comply with the National Electrical Code as well
as local codes and ordinances when installing the
receptacle.
WARNING!
Electrocution hazard.
Electrical grounding required.
•
Do not remove the round grounding
prong from the plug.
•
Do not use extension cords or
ungrounded (two-prong) adapters.
• Donotuseapowercordthatisfrayedor

• Do not use a power strip.
Failure to follow these instructions may
result in fire, electrical shock or death.
