Assembly and installation instructions

Safety Instructions and Warnings
for Water Connection
• Do not install the water connection while the appli-
ance is connected to an electrical outlet.
• The connection to the water supply may only be
made by a trained and licensed plumber.
WARNING!
Connect to potable water supply only.
Water Connection Requirements
• The water pressure must be in the range of
40-90 psi (2.8-6.2 bar).
Failure to meet these requirements may result in
water dispenser malfunction and a water leak that
can damage flooring and surrounding furniture.
• A shut-off valve must be installed between the water
line and the main water supply. It must be eas-
ily accessible so the water supply can be stopped
immediately if necessary.
IMPORTANT
Do not install the shut-off valve behind the appliance.
The water dispenser is connected using a 1/4" com-
pression fitting.
For the water supply, we recommend
braided style ice maker hoses with
1/4" connectors.
Thread: 7/16-24 UNS
Hose or pipe diameter 1/4"
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.
A water line is not supplied with the appliance.
IMPORTANT
Do not use any old or already premounted water
supply lines.
Appliance Installation
Move the appliance towards the final position and leave
enough space to work behind.
Remove the cover.
Insert the water line until it comes
out on the appliance rear and pull
through.
Connect the other end to
the male connector and
tighten.
IMPORTANT
Make sure that the connection is fitted
with a seal and is tight.
The steel plate can be removed to facilitate
connecting the water hose.
