3.1 Transport to installation site
and unpacking
The appliance is very heavy.
Take maximum care during handling
to avoid injury.
The appliance should always be
transported in an erect position.
Avoid at all costs leaning it on its front
side.
Since this is a large and heavy appliance, before transporting the appliance, check the access to the location where it will be installed (door size, manoeuvring
space in stairwells, etc.).
The appliance is attached to the base of the packaging
(pallet) through four bolts which can be removed using a 17 mm (3/4”) wrench.
It is recommended to use a manual transporting device to move the appliance to the installation site, and
only at this point to remove the base of the packaging.
The appliance should always be transported in an
erect position.
If this is not possible, transport the appliance laying
on its rear side.
Once at the installation site, the appliance, which is
equipped with four wheels, can be taken o the pallet
and positioned in the installation area.
Operate as follows:
> Take o the four boltshsecuring [ 1 ] the appliance to
the pallet by means of a 17 mm (3/4”) open spanner.
> Remove the fixing brackets [ 3 ] and [ 4 ] .
> To remove the front fixing bracket [ 3 ] , unscrew for
one or two turns the rear wheel adjusting bolt [ 2 ] by
means of a 13 mm (1/2”) box spanner, avoiding too
much strenght while thightening the nut, which could
damage the leveling feet adjusting system.
> From the back of the unit and by means of a suit-
able, high duty hand trolley, take o the appliance and
place it on the floor.
Be very careful to avoid any damage to floors. Delicate
floors should be protected with plywood, hard cardboard or similar material panels.
3. PREPARING THE INSTALLATION
3.2 Electrical and Water connection
The Built-in Fhiaba filter cannot make it
safe to drink any water which is not suitable for human consumption.
The appliance should be connected only
to a drinkable water supply system.
Do not use extension cords or adapters.
Once the appliance is fully installed, connected to the water supply (if applicable)
and operational, in the event that the water supply must be turned off,(touch the
button
on control panel to switch it off)
before the main water is shut off to prevent the appliance from entering a ‘NO
WATER IN’ alarm state.
The appliances are delivered from the factory for operation at 110V-120V AC - 60Hz (US and Canada).
They are provided with a suitable supply cable and
plug to be connected to an appropriate 15A socket
(US and Canada) provided with an eective grounding.
A circuit breaker should also be installed and should
be easily accessible so that it can be easily switched
o before performing any installation or maintenance.
To connect to the water supply system (for appliances
equipped with ice makers) a 1/4” waterline with accessible shut-o valve must be supplied.
The appliance is provided with a water adapter elbow
which is suitable for high water pressure and complies the Food Regulations.
The water filter cartridge, which is provided with the
appliance, should be installed according to the accompanying instructions. Use only the new adapter
which is supplied with the appliance. The solenoid
connection on the appliance is 3/4” diameter but is
metric threaded. A standard garden hose threaded
connector such as a braided stainless hose found at
typical hardware stores will strip or damage the solenoid threads. Use only the supplied 1/4” quick connect
