During disposal, avoid damage to the refrigeration circuit.

The appliance does not contain hazardous substances for the atmos-

pheric ozone layer, neither in the refrigeration circuit nor in the insulation.

Cleaning, sanitization and maintenance of the ice and/or water dispenser (if present)

Failure to follow the instructions regarding sanitizing can compromise
the hygienic safety of the water dispensed.

When using the appliance for the first time and every time the filter
is changed, it is recommended to let the water flow in the circuit using
the “Manual Cleaning” and discard the ice produced in the first 24
hours.

1.2

1.3

If the water dispenser has not been used for more than 4/5 days, it is
advisable to clean the circuit and run off the first litre of water.

Reposition the removable water dispenser (if present), ensuring your
hands are hygienically clean.

Clean the ice bucket or drawer regularly but using only drinking
water.

The filter must be changed when indicated on the control panel
or when the ice/water dispenser has not been used for more than 30
days.

With each filter replacement, sanitise the ice and/or water distribu­tion system using a food grade disinfectant (with sodium hypochlo­rite), which does not alter the characteristics of the materials, or use
the “Sanitising Kit” available from the After-Sales Service. Rinse with at
least 2 litres of water before use.

correctly, according to all of the directions
in the specific installation manual provid­ed with the appliance.

Connection to the water system

The models provided with Ice Maker require a connection to the do­mestic water supply system. This can be executed through the pro­vided water hose with 3/4” threading.

The system pressure must be between 0.05 MPa and 0.5 MPa (between

0.5 Bar and 5 Bar).

Differents pressures can cause malfunctions or leaks in the water sys­tem. The appliance should be supplied only with drinkable water.

separation of internal compartments ensures maximum
freshness and offers excellent conservation of foods in the
