Safety
Disposal of Old Appliance
DANGER!
Risk of child entrapment.
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past.
Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still dangerous – even if they will sit
for “just a few days.”
If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please follow these
instructions to help prevent accidents.
Before you discard old appliances:
- Take off the doors.
- Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.
- Cut off the power cable from the discarded refrigerator. Discard separately from the refrigerator.
- Be sure to follow your local requirements for disposal of appliances. Contact the trash collection agency in your area for additional information.
Disposal of Packaging Material
WARNING!
Keep packaging materials away from children. Polythene sheets and bags can cause suffocation!
If possible, please recycle packaging material at a recycling facility.

Secure the appliance in place so it does not tip forward when the fully stocked door is opened. The anti-tipping bracket is provided with the appliance.
- May only be installed by trained personnel.
- The (1/4″ x 2-3/8″) screws are designed for standard dry walls.
- If the anti-tipping bracket cannot be secured properly using the (1/4″ x 2-3/8″) screws, use suitable anchors or different screws.
Position anti-tipping device – Figure 1- 2
IMPORTANT
Cabinet depth min. 25″
The anti-tipping bracket will be fastened to the floor downwards and to the spacer backwards.
WARNING!
Be sure the wooden spacer is fastened securely to the floor.
Inset kitchen cabinets – Figure 1
Frameless kitchen cabinets – Figure 2
IMPORTANT
If the floor slopes down sideways, the anti-tipping bracket must be fitted horizontally. Lay down spacers in the appropriate positions.
Mounting the anti-tipping device on wooden floors – Figure 3
-
Mark the centerline of the appliance on the back wall. Align the anti-tipping bracket center to this line.
WARNING!
Be sure that there is no plumbing or electrical wiring located in this area which screws or drills could damage. -
Fasten bracket to the wooden floor using 5 screws (1/4″ x 2-3/8″). Drill pilot holes if necessary.
-
Fasten bracket with 3 screws (1/4″ x 2-3/8″) into the wall plate.

Safety Instructions and Warnings for Water Connection
- Do not install the water connection while the appliance 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 ice maker 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 easily accessible so the water supply can be stopped immediately if necessary.
IMPORTANT
Do not install the shut-off valve behind the appliance.
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 to a 1/4″ copper line use a 1/4″ compression nut and a metal compression ring.
To connect to 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 pre-mounted water supply lines.
Appliance Installation
Move the appliance towards the final position and leave enough space to work behind.
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.
Remove the cover.
Insert the water filter as far as it will go with the front knobs in a horizontal position and turn clockwise until it snaps in.
Apply the appliance cover strips to the left and right front edge of the appliance housing, align in height with the top profile and screw into place. The strip is transparent so the designed mounting holes on the appliance housing are visible. We recommend that you mark and pre drill the hole positions in the strip.
IMPORTANT
Use the correct flat head screws, otherwise the edges of the cabinet will be
damaged when sliding the appliance into the recess.
Mounting the depth adjustment aid into the cover strips
Slide the appliance into the recess. To avoid damage, move the power cord and the water line at once.
Align the appliance in depth.

DANGER!
Risk of death or serious injury due to appliance tipping.
Do not open the appliance door before the height adjustment is finished and the antitipping bracket supports the appliance.
Turn clockwise to raise the appliance.
Raise the appliance evenly by turning the screws successively until the appliance back touches the anti-tipping bracket (lift approx. 1/4″ / 6.5 mm).
To attain the minimum base panel height of 4″ (102 mm), the adjustable feet must be raised by 1/4″ (6 mm) to 5/16″ (8 mm).
Maximum height adjustment of the appliance = 3/4″(19 mm)
IMPORTANT
When turning the screws with a power driver please consider absolutely.
Maximum rotation speed = 400 rpm
Maximum torque = 8.8 lbs/in (1 Nm)
Failure to follow this instruction will result in damage to the height adjustment unit.
Mount the ventilation grille with the grille segments tilted down.
Remove the depth adjustment aid before fastening the appliance in the recess.
Fasten the appliance in the recess through the appliance cover strips using eight screws 4 x 14 for each side. We recommend that you mark and pre-drill the hole positions in the strip.
Close the front part of the appliance cover strips.
Hint:
Use the removed transportation safety component to help with closing.
Push the mounting strip upwards. The bottom edge of the mounting strip must be aligned with the top edge of the adjacent cabinet door.
Inset installation style
Frameless installation style
Position the attachment bracket in the middle of the door panel, align horizontally and secure to the door panel using eight 4 x 14 screws.
IMPORTANT
Risk of damaging the panel. Do not undershoot the minimum panel thickness
(shaker style).
IMPORTANT
Door handles should be mounted now because the side support strips will cover
the mounting holes.
Only use countersunk screws for handle mounting. The holes should be
countersunk.
The screw heads should be flush with the panel.
Position the panel support strips with the top lug in the cut of the top attachment bracket.
Align the strips parallel to the side edge of the panel and screw into place with ten 4 x 14 screws.
Mount the base of the ventilation duct divider with two screws 4 x 19. Click on the cover.
IMPORTANT
If the door has to be limited to a 90° opening angle, it must be done before
the panel is mounted onto the appliance door. See chapter “Important Note for
Changing over Door Hinges or Limiting the Hinges to a 90° Opening Angle”
Open the appliance door. Place the door panel on the top adjusting bolts and align in the centre. Screw the hex nuts onto the adjusting bolts and tighten.
Close the door and check the position of the panel.
IMPORTANT
After a certain time and loading, it may be necessary to readjust the door
again.
Align the panel in its vertical position if necessary.
Loosen the hex nuts and turn the adjusting bolts with the Torx 15 key provided.
Align the panel horizontally with the long holes in the attachment bracket. Tighten the hex nuts.
Align the panel in its depth. Loosen the screws, align the panel and tighten the screws.
Align the panel in its depth at the bottom. Loosen the screws, align the panel and tighten the screws. Use the Torx 20 key provided
Fasten the panel through the bottom attachment bracket with two screws 4 x 14.
IMPORTANT
Risk of damaging the panel. Do not undershoot the minimum panel thickness
(shaker style).
Insert the panel supports into the support strips between panel and appliance door and screw into place with two screws M6 x 12 each.
Hook the door cover strips at the front of the supports and snap in at the back.
Click cover into place.
IMPORTANT
There will be a gap if the ventilation grille is fitted incorrectly.
Adjust the brackets to the thickness of the toe kick panel.
Remove the backing foil and affix the toe kick panel.
Insert the door racks.
Insert the hooks of the rack into the openings of the clip-in strip at the desired height and push down.
