documents for subsequent use or for the next owner.
Technical safety
Improper installations and repairs may put the user at
risk.
Repairs must be performed by an authorized service
provider.
Only use original parts supplied by the manufacturer.
Only original manufacturer supplied parts satisfy safety
requirements.
If the power cord of this appliance is damaged, it must
be replaced by an authorized servicer.
The appliance comes with a UL listed 3-wire Power
Cord.
Never sever or remove the third (ground) conductor
from the power cord.

the responsibility of the customer to have this
receptacle replaced with a correctly grounded 3-wire
wall receptacle. Do not use any adapter plugs.
Important information when using the
appliance
n Never use electrical devices inside the appliance.
Risk of explosion!
n Never use a steam cleaner to defrost or clean the
appliance. The steam may penetrate electrical
parts and cause a short-circuit. Risk of electric
shock!
n Do not use pointed or sharp-edged objects to
remove frost or layers of ice. You could damage
the refrigerant tubes. Leaking refrigerant may ignite
or cause eye injuries.
n Do not store products that contain flammable
propellants (e.g. spray cans) or explosive
substances in the appliance. Risk of explosion!
n Do not stand or support yourself on the base,
drawers or doors or other parts of the appliance.

must be rigid. Reinforce the floor, if necessary.
Weight of appliance when empty:
Basic model 324 lb (147 kg)
Ventilation
Never cover the ventilation openings on the front base
panel or rear cover plate.
This forces the appliance to work harder, increasing
its power consumption. It also can cause damage to
the compressor.
Installing and 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 and aligned.
Always connect the water before the power.
Apart from statutory national regulations, you should
comply with all applicable local electricity and water
companies' codes and requirements.
After installing the appliance, wait at least 6 hours
before switching the appliance on. During
transportation the oil in the compressor may have
flowed into the refrigeration system.
Before switching the appliance on for the first time,
clean the interior of the appliance (see chapter
“Cleaning the Appliance”).
Only a qualified technician should remove the
appliance doors if this is necessary in order to bring
the appliance through any household doors.
Water connection
WARNING
Risk of electric shock and damage to the appliance!
Disconnect the appliance from the power source
before performing any work on the water
connection.
Only a qualified installation technician may connect
the appliance to the water supply in accordance
with plumbing and relevant water utility company
regulations.
Connect the appliance to a drinking water line only:
n Minimum pressure:
14.5 psi (1.0 bar)
n Maximum pressure:
116 psi (8.0 bar)
If the water pressure exceeds 80 psi (5.5 bar), you
must install a pressure limiting valve. Contact a
plumbing professional if you are uncertain how to
check your water pressure. The ice maker will not
work if the water pressure is below 14.5 psi (1.0 bar).
The water should be connected only by a competent
plumber according to the local regulations of the
appropriate Water Supply company.
A cold water connection is necessary for operating the
ice maker.
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 that is easily accessible.
When installing the water connection, pay attention to
the permissible installation area for the water line.
For connection to the drinking water line use only
water pipes that are suitable for drinking water.
Observe national regulations and the connection
conditions of the local Water Supply companies.
The taste and smell of the water can be improved by
installing the filter cartridge included with the
appliance. In this case, observe the separate
connection requirements related to the filter (see

outlet must be installed and grounded according to
code by a qualified electrician. If necessary, have
the installation inspected by a qualified technician
to ensure it is properly grounded.
Do not use an extension cord or power strip.
Never connect the appliance to an electronic
energy saver plug (such as Ecoboy, Sava Plug,
etc.) or to power inverters which convert direct
current (DC) to alternating current (AC) (such as for
solar equipment, power supplies on ships, etc.).
The outlet for the appliance must be located close the
appliance and must be easy to access also after
installation.
Connect the appliance to a properly installed
115 V/60 Hz AC outlet. The fuse for the outlet must be
rated either 15 A or 20 A.
If the appliance is to be used in a country other than
the U.S., check the rating plate to determine if the
specified voltage and current type correspond to the
ratings of your power supply. If the voltage and current
type do not match, the appliance must not be
operated. The power cord may only be replaced by a
qualified electrician.
