Connecting the appliance
Have a technician install and connect the appliance
according to the enclosed installation instructions.
Do not remove the transportation protection devices
from the shelves and storage compartments until
the appliance has been installed.
Always connect the water before the power.
Apart from statutory national regulations, you should
stick to the connection terms relating to the local
electricity and water companies.
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.
Before switching on the appliance for the first time,
clean the interior of the appliance (see chapter
“Cleaning the appliance”).
Water connection
The water may be connected only by a competent fitter
according to the local regulations of the appropriate
water supply company.
ã
Caution
Use only the enclosed hose set for connection to the
drinking water mains. Do not use existing or already
used hose sets.
Connect the appliance to a drinking water line only :
▯
Minimum pressure: 0.2 Mpa (2 bar)
▯
Maximum pressure: 0.8 Mpa (8 bar)
▯
Pressure over 0.8 MPa (8 bar): install a pressure
limiter between drinking water connection and
hose set
A separate shut-off valve should be installed
in the cold-water inflow.
The shut-off valve should not be located behind
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.
Note
The maximum outside diameter of the water mains
(without connecting pieces) is 10 mm.
Electrical connection
The socket must be near the appliance and also freely
accessible following installation of the appliance.
The appliance complies with the protection class I.
Connect the appliance to 220-240 V/50 Hz alternating
current via a correctly installed socket with protective
conductor. The socket must be fused with
a 10 to 16 A fuse.
For appliances operated in non-European countries,
check whether the stated voltage and current type on
the rating plate match the values of your mains supply.
These specifications can be found on the rating plate
(see chapter “Customer service”).

Warning
Never connect the appliance to electronic energy
saver plugs.
Our appliances can be used with mains and sine-
controlled inverters. Mains-controlled inverters
are used for photovoltaic systems which
are connected directly to the national grid. Sine-
controlled inverters must be used for isolated
applications (e.g. on ships or in mountain lodges)
which are not connected directly to the national grid.
