Installation

WARNING:THE APPLIANCE SHOULD

ONLY BE INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED

PERSONNEL IN COMPLIANCE WITH THESE

INSTRUCTIONS, CURRENT STANDARDS

AND REGULATIONS.

Before Fitting:

Please read through this section before starting any work.

Choosing a Location:

Do not install your appliance in a room where the temperature goes below 5˚C, this will affect the appliances performance.

The power socket should be in a readily accessible position, adjacent to the appliance. DO NOT connect to the electricity supply until all installation is complete.

Place the appliance in a dry and regularly ventilated room.

Never place the appliance near heat emitting devices (eg.cooker, radiator,water heater or similar devices) and do not expose it to direct sunlight. In such a position your appliance will have to work harder and will cost more to run and could be damaged by the heat.

Door Removal:

If your access door is too narrow for the appliance to pass through, you will need to remove both doors - pass the appliance through the access door,in its upright position - then refit the doors on the other side (see Door Removal instructions - pages 6 & 7).

Water Supply:

Your appliance has an ice maker and cool water dispenser function and therefore needs to be connected to a cold water supply before use (see Feed Water Tube / Plumbing Installation instructions - page 8 and 9).

Levelling

Level both doors by adjusting the left and right hand height adjusting screws. With the doors aligned they will close correctly and this helps the appliance to run efficiently (see Height Adjustment instructions

- page 10)

Ensure that you provide adequate air circulation around the appliance,to prevent condensation. Leave at least 300mm free space above and 50mm or more from the wall. Also,the appliance should be elevated 25mm from the floor,especially if it is carpeted.

Providing you follow the recommended ventilation requirements you will: * Prolong the life of your appliance. * Minimise the risk of condensation on the

outside of the appliance. * Minimise the running costs. * Minimise operating sounds caused by

vibration.

Installation

●

FIRST CHECK YOU HAVE THE CORRECT

ITEMS:

- Pipe / Filter Kit comprises:

* 1 x Water Filter

* 2 x Self-Adhesive Fixing Plates

* 2 x Cable Ties

* 1 x 10m Water Pipe

- Adaptor Kit comprises:

* Plastic Pipe Connector

* Rubber Washer

* Threaded Tap Connector

●

NEXT,HAVE A LOOK AT THE DIAGRAM

BELOW TO VISUALISE HOW THE

APPLIANCE SHOULD BE CONNECTED:

Fridge

Water Pipe

●

Connection to the Appliance:

* At the back of the

appliance you will see

the water inlet valve

(Fig.A)

Filter

Water Pipe

Tap

* Unscrew the metal

threaded collar and place it over one end of the water pipe (Fig.B)

* You now need to cut the water pipe to the right length for the

connection of the water filter.

It is suggested that approximately 1.5m of pipe is used - this

should allow the filter to be located in an easily accessible

position (as the water filter should be replaced approximately

every 6 months, according to use and conditions) and also allow

some slack in the pipe behind the appliance, so that it can be

pulled out for cleaning or servicing purposes.

You must also ensure that the cut is square and not at any

sort of angle as this could cause a leak.

* Push the water pipe

onto the water inlet valve firmly, tighten up the metal collar (Fig.C)

Installation

●

Connection of Water Filter:

* Now you have to cut the pipe to the length it needs to be to run from the back of the

appliance and attach to the water filter.

NOTE: The water filter is marked with an arrow to show the direction of water flow (ie.from

supply tap to appliance).

Remember however,that the connection process is being done FROM the appliance TO the

tap (ie. in reverse of the water flow when in use).

Note the direction markings on the filter

* Unscrew the threaded connector and

place it over the end of the cut

section of pipe coming away from

the appliance. Push the pipe over the

end of the water filter that the arrow

points to and tighten the threaded

connector (Fig.D)

●

Connection to the Water Tap:

* Cut the pipe that is connected to the water filter to the

correct length. Again, make sure that the cut is nice and square to avoid leaks.

* Push the pipe into the smaller hole of the connector

supplied in the adaptor kit. The pipe should be held firm (Fig.F)

* Place the threaded tap connector over the long part of

the brass flange. Firmly push the flange into the other

end of the water connector (Fig.G)

* Place the rubber washer inside the threaded tap

connector and screw onto the water tap.

●

FINALLY: Plug in and switch on the electricity supply. Turn on the water supply tap. Check for any leaks. Ensure selection is set to ‘water’(see page 15) push a cup under the dispenser to verify that water is flowing. When all working OK, move the appliance into its final location - your appliance is heavy and care should be taken when moving it, also do not trap or kink hoses at the back of the appliance. Replace the lower cover. Mount the water filter in an accessible position using the self-adhesive fixing plates and cable ties supplied.

* Repeat on the other end of the water

filter,using the remainder of water pipe (Fig.E)

* Run this section of water pipe from

the water filter to the water supply tap, making sure it is not trapped or kinked at all.
