WARNING
Do not install the appliance:
νoutdoors,
νin an environment subject to drips of water,
νin rooms with risk of freezing temperatures.
Transporting
The appliance is heavy and must be secured during transport and installation.
The castors are provided for installation purposes only.
Do not use the castors for transporting the appliance.
WARNING
Risk of injury!
The appliance is very heavy. It can fall over and cause serious injuries during transport and installation. At least two people are required to install the appliance safely. Keep the refrigerator doors closed until the appliance is upright and level at the installation location.
Hidden surfaces may have sharp edges. During transport, wear protective gloves. Use caution when reaching behind or under appliance.
Installation location
WARNING
Risk of explosion!
Do not install the appliance near explosive or flammable substances.
A dry, well-ventilated room is suitable as an installation location. The installation location should not be exposed to direct sunlight or placed near a heat source, e.g. a cooker, radiator, etc. If installation next to a heat source is unavoidable, use a suitable insulating plate or observe the following minimum distances from the heat source:
ν1Ê1/4I (3 cm) to electric or gas stoves.
ν11Ê3/16I (30 cm) to oil or solid fuel stoves.
To ensure that the Ice Maker functions correctly, the appliance must be upright and level.
If installing the refrigerator next to another refrigerator/freezer, there must be a minimum clearance of 1” (25 mm) between the appliances to prevent condensation.
If a panel or cupboard is installed above the appliance, ensure to leave a 13/32I (10 mm) gap so that the appliance can be pulled out of the recess if required.
The air heated at the back of the appliance must be allowed to escape unhindered.
To ensure that the doors can open all the way, maintain the lateral minimum clearances when installing the appliance in a corner or recess (see section on ”Appliance and installation dimensions”).
If the depth of the adjacent kitchen equipment exceeds 29Ê1/8I (75 cm), maintain the minimum lateral clearances in order to utilize the full door opening angle (see section ”Door opening angle”).

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:
νMinimum pressure: 14.5 psi (1.0 bar)
νMaximum 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 ”Water filter”).
The water hose has a 3/4 inch connection.

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.
