Setup conditions

WARNING
Risk of fire due to moisture!
If live parts or the power cord get wet, this can cause a short circuit.

  • The appliance is designed for use in enclosed spaces. Do not operate the appliance in open space or in damp areas or where there is spray.

Normal use

  • Only set up and use the appliance in enclosed spaces.
Space

WARNING
Leaking refrigerant and oil!
Fire. The refrigerant contained within the appliance is environmentally friendly, but flammable. The oil contained within the appliance is flammable. Escaping refrigerant and oil can ignite if they are of high enough concentration and are exposed to an external heat source.

  • Do not damage the pipelines of the coolant circuit and the compressor.

  • If the appliance is installed in a very damp environment condensate water may form on the outside of the appliance.
    Always make sure the installation area is well ventilated. .

  • The more refrigerant there is in the appliance, the larger the space it is installed in must be. If the space is too small, any leak may create a flammable mixture of gas and air. For every 8 g (0.02 lb) size of the installation space must be at least 1 m3 (35.5 ft3). Specifications on the refrigerant in the appliance can be found on the serial tag plate inside the appliance.

Installation surface

  • The floor of the installation site must be horizontal and level.
  • The height of the appliance base must be the same as the surrounding floor.
  • Do not install the appliance in direct sunlight or next to an oven, heater, or similar heat source.
  • Always stand the appliance backed directly to the wall using the enclosed wall spacers (see below).

For appliances with supplied wall spacers, the dimensions must be increased by 15 mm (0.59 in) .

Ventilation requirements

NOTICE
Risk of damage due to overheating in the case of insufficient ventilation!
In the case of insufficient ventilation, the compressor can be damaged.

  • Make sure there is sufficient ventilation.
  • Observe the ventilation requirements.

If the appliance is integrated in a fitted kitchen, the following ventilation requirements must be met:

  • The spacing fins on the back of the appliance are used to ensure sufficient ventilation. These must not lie in cavities or recesses in their final installation position.
  • Basically, the larger the ventilation gap, the more energy the appliance saves during operation.

Transporting the appliance

  • Transport the appliance in its packaging.
  • Transport the appliance upright.
  • Use two people when transporting the appliance.

Unpacking the appliance

If the appliance is damaged check with the supplier immediately before connecting it.

  • Check the appliance and packaging for damage during transport. If you suspect any damage, please contact your supplier immediately.
  • Remove all materials that could prevent it from being installed properly or prevent proper ventilation from the back or the side panels of the appliance.
  • Remove all protective films from the appliance. Do not use sharp or pointed objects for this.
  • Remove the mains cable from the back of the appliance. Also remove the cable holder, otherwise there will be vibration noise!

Mounting wall spacers

The spacers must be used in order to reach the declared energy consumption levels as well as to avoid the formation of condensate water at high levels of ambient humidity. These will extend the depth of the appliance by approx. 15 mm (0.59 in). The appliance is fully functional if the spacers are not used, but it will consume slightly more energy.
If wall spacers are supplied with an appliance, these wall spaces must be mounted on the left and right of the back of the appliance.

Setting up the device

CAUTION
Risk of personal injury!

  • Have two people move this appliance into place.

WARNING
Unstable appliance!
Risk of injury and damage. The appliance can tip over.

  • Only move the appliance when it is not loaded.
  • Only set up the appliance when someone is present to help you.

Setting up the appliance level

CAUTION
Risk of injury or damage from the appliance tipping or the door falling open!
If the additional adjustable foot on the base support is not correctly positioned on the floor, there is a risk of the door falling open or the appliance tipping. This can lead to injury or property damage.

  • Unscrew the additional adjustable foot on the support until it reaches the floor.
  • Then turn it another 90°.
  • Align the appliance so that it stands firmly and by applying the accompanying spanner to the adjustable height feet (A) and using a spirit level.
  • Then prop up the door: Lower the adjustable foot on the bearing bracket (B) until it contacts the floor, then turn it an additional 90°.
  • Then prop up the door: Screw out the adjustable foot on the bearing bracket (B) using the open-ended wrench SW10 until it comes into contact with the floor, then turn an additional 90°.

  • The drinking water connection may only be carried out by a qualified gas and water installer.

WARNING Contaminated water!
Poisoning.

  • Connect to potable water supply only.

The appliance’s water connection and inlet solenoid valve are suitable for a water pressure of up to 1 MPa (10 bar).
Specifications for proper operation (flow rate, ice cube size, noise level):

Water pressure:

bar| psi| MPa
1.5 to 6.2| 21.76 to 87.02| 0.15 to 0.62

**Water pressure if using the water filter:***

bar| psi| MPa*
2.8 to 6.2| 40 to 90| 0.28 to 0.62

If the pressure exceeds 0.62 MPa (6.2 bar): Connect a pressure reducer.

Make sure that the following conditions are met:

  • The water pressure is correct.

  • Water is supplied to the appliance via a cold water pipe that can withstand the operating pressure and is connected to the drinking water supply.

  • A 1/4″ OD copper pipe is used to connect the water supply to the solenoid valve. This is not supplied with the appliance.*

  • A connector between the R3/4 connection thread and the 1/4″ OD copper pipe is supplied with the appliance.
    There is a filter with a seal in the copper pipe connector. The filter with a seal is included in the scope of delivery.

  • There is a water valve between the copper pipe and the domestic water connection in order to be able to cut off the water supply if necessary.*

  • The water valve is located away from the back of the appliance and is easily accessible so that the appliance can be pushed far back as possible and the water valve can be quickly closed if required. The correct clearances are maintained.

  • All equipment and devices used for the water supply comply with the applicable regulations in the country of use.

  • The back of the appliance is accessible so that you can connect the appliance to the drinking water supply.
