Water requirements
Please Note:
• The ice maker requires a minimum water pressure of
3kg/cm². If a 180cm² cup can be filled within 10 seconds, the water pressure is sufficient.
• Should the water pressure be too low, an additional
pressure pump may be installed by a qualified plumber.
• The water tube must be connected to a threaded cold
water tap.
• Ensure that the water tubes are installed away from any
hot surfaces such as stoves or heaters.
• Use sealing tape on every pipe/tube connection to en-
sure a leak free installation.

Installing the filter
• The water filter is designed to filter out contaminants but
does not filter out bacteria or microbes.
• Install the filter along the water tube and where it will be
easily accessible for routine maintenance.
• The water tube must be cut at a right angle at the filter
location point.
• Connect the water tubes to the filter as shown leaving
sufficient slack so as not to strain the joins.
• Tighten all the joints, open the tap and ensure that there
are no leaks.
• The filter life depends on the amount of use and pollut-
ant present in the water. It is recommended that the filter
be replaced every six months.
• After the installation of the refrigerator and water supply
tubes, select and continue pressing WATER on the control panel for 2 to 3 minutes to fill the water storage tank
