and to minimise the risk of injuries and damage
to the appliance at least two persons are necessary
to set-up the appliance securely.
Installation location
A dry, well ventilated room is suitable as an installation
location. The installation location should not be
exposed to direct sunlight and not placed near a heat
source, e.g. a cooker, radiator, etc. If installation next to
a heat source is unavoidable, use a suitable insulating
plate or observe the following minimum distances from
the heat source:

The floor of the installation location must not give way;
if required, reinforce floor. To ensure that the ice maker
functions correctly, the appliance must be upright.
Ventilation
The refrigeration unit is ventilated only via
the ventilation grille in the base. Never cover
the ventilation grille or place anything in front of it.
Otherwise the refrigeration unit must work harder,
increasing the power consumption.
Connecting the appliance
After installing the appliance, wait at least 1 hour until
the appliance starts up. During transportation the oil in
the compressor may have flowed into the refrigeration
system.

Water connection
,
CAUTION:
Connect the appliance to a drinking water line.
The water may be connected only by a competent fitter
according to the local regulations of the appropriate

A cold water connection is necessary for operating
the automatic ice maker. The water pressure must be
between 25 and 120 p.s.i. (1,72 and 8,25 bar). The
installation must correspond to the local plumbing
regulations.
A separate shut-off valve should be installed in
the cold-water inflow.

the appliance. It is recommended that you mount
the shut-off valve directly next to the appliance or at
another place which is easily accessible.
When installing the water connection, pay attention to
the permissible installation area for the water mains.
For connection to the drinking water mains use only
water pipes which are suitable for drinking water.
Observe national regulations and the connection
conditions of the local water supply companies.
