Transport to installation site and unpacking

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” in) 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 off the pallet
and positioned in the installation area.

Operate as follows:

•

Take off the four bolts 1 securing the appliance to the
pallet by means of a 17 mm (3/4” in) 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” in) 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 suitable,
high duty hand trolley, take off 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.

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.

Preparing the installation

Electrical connection requires use of a European 16A
Schuko socket or UK 13A socket with earth connection,
controlled by an easily accessible omnipolar switch.

To connect to the water supply system (for appliances
equipped with ice makers) a tap with a male 3/4”
connection should be provided, which must also be
easily accessible once the appliance is installed.
The appliance is provided with a water supply hose and
seal kit 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 hose and the new gaskets which are
supplied with the appliance. Discard any hose and
gasket which may have already been installed.

Electrical cord length: 2,0 mt (78 3/4” in)
Water connection line length: 2,5 mt (98 3/8” in)

Energy: Alternatives and Home Automation

If energy is supplied through an alternative energy
power source (solar, geothermal, etc..) or if home
automation systems are installed, it is necessary to
install the Alternative Energy Kit to integrate the unit
into the power grid.

The 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 has been connected to the water system, turn the Ice Maker off (touch the
button on control panel to switch it off) before the main water is shut off.
