Water connection requirements
The water pressure must be in the range of 0.28-0.62 MPa (2.8-6.2 bar).
Failure to meet these requirements may result in IceMaker malfunction and a water leak that can damage flooring and surrounding furniture.
A shut-off valve must be installed between the waterline and the mains water supply. It must be easily accessible so that the water supply can be stopped immediately if necessary.

IMPORTANT
Do not install the shut-off valve behind the appliance.

The water supply to the appliance must be through a cold water pipe that can withstand the operating pressure and complies with the hygiene regulations. For this, use the
stainless steel hose supplied (length 3 m).
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.

IMPORTANT
Make sure that the connection is fitted with a seal and is tight.

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 appliance top and screw into place. The strip is transparent so that the designed attachment 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-headed screws, otherwise the edges of the kitchen unit will be damaged when sliding the appliance into the recess.
