If the fridge compartment door is lower adjust the right hand adjustment screw.

Connection to the mains water supply

The appliance is supplied with a pipe/filter kit and an adaptor kit for water pipework.

●

FIRST CHECK YOU HAVE ALL THE CORRECT ITEMS:

●

Pipe / Filter Kit comprises:

●

Adaptor Kit comprises:

* 1 x Water Filter * 2 x Self-Adhesive

Fixing Plates * 2 x Cable Ties * 1 x 10m Water Pipe

●

NEXT HAVE A LOOK AT THE DIAGRAM BELOW TO VISUALISE HOW THE APPLIANCE SHOULD BE CONNECTED:

FRIDGE

WATER PIPE WATER PIPE

●

Connection to the Appliance:

FILTER

* Plastic Pipe Connector * Rubber Washer * Threaded Tap Connector

TAP

* At the back of the appliance you

will see the water inlet valve (Fig.A)

* 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 (it 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.

* Unscrew the metal threaded collar

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

* Push the water pipe onto the water

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

You must also ensure that the cut is square and not at any sort of angle as this could cause a leak.

●

Connection of Water Filter:

* Now you have to cut the pipe from the back of the appliance to the length it needs to be to attach to the water filter.

NB.The water filter is marked with an arrow to show the direction of water flow (ie. from tap to appliance).

Remember however,that the connection is being done FROM the appliance TO the tap (ie.in reverse of the water flow when in use).

* 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

Note the direction markings on the filter

●

Connection to the Water Tap:

that the arrow points to and tighten the threaded connector (Fig.D)

* 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 rubber washer inside the

threaded tap connector and screw onto the water tap.

✓

* 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.

* 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)

FINALLY: Switch on the power and turn on the water supply tap. Check for any leaks. Place a cup under the dispenser to verify that the water is flowing,ensure the selection is set to ‘water’. When all working OK,move the appliance into its final location,take care not to trap or kink hoses at the back of the appliance when moving it. Replace the Lower Cover. Mount the water filter in an accessible position next to the appliance using the self-adhesive fixing plates and cable ties supplied.
