EN
• If the power cord is damaged or the hole of the socket outlet is loose,
do not use the power cord and contact an authorized service centre.
• Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
• Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the
defrosting process.
• Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in
structure, clear of obstruction.
• Do not use electrical appliances inside the refrigerator.
• The refrigerant and insulation blowing gas used in the appliance
require special disposal procedures. Consult with service agent or a
similarly qualified person before disposing of them.
• This appliance is intended to be used in household and similar
applications only. It should not be used for commercial, or catering
purposes, or in any mobile application such as a caravan or boat.
• Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with a
flammable propellant in this appliance.
This symbol alerts you to flammable materials that can
ignite and cause a fire if you do not take care.
• This appliance contains a small amount of isobutane refrigerant
(R600a), but it is also combustible. When transporting and installing
the appliance, care should be taken to ensure that no parts of the
refrigerating circuit are damaged.
• When positioning the appliance, ensure the supply cord is not
trapped or damaged.
• Do not locate multiple portable outlet-sockets or portable power
supplies at the rear of the appliance.
• Disconnect the power cord before cleaning the appliance or replacing
the inside lamp (where fitted).

of ignition and air the room in which the appliance is standing for
several minutes. In order to avoid the creation of a flammable gas
air mixture if a leak in the refrigerating circuit occurs, the size of the
room in which the appliance is used should correspond to the amount
of refrigerant used. The room must be 1 m² in size for every 8 g of
R600a refrigerant inside the appliance.
• Refrigerant leaking out of the pipes could ignite or cause an
explosion.
• The amount of refrigerant in your particular appliance is shown on the
identification plate inside the appliance.

Connecting the Water Line
Water Supply Requirements
A cold water supply with water pressure between
138 kPa and 827 kPa (1.4-8.4 kgf/cm²) is required
to operate the water dispenser. If the refrigerator
is installed in an area with low water pressure
(below 138 kPa), you can install a booster pump to
compensate for the low pressure.
If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is
connected to your cold water supply, the water
pressure to the reverse osmosis system needs to
be a minimum of 138 kPa to 827 kPa (1.4-8.4 kgf/
cm²)
WARNING
• Unplug the appliance before carrying out any
work on connecting the water line. Failure to do
so may cause electric shock.
• Only connect the water line to a cold water
supply. Failure to do so may cause the water
filter to malfunction. Water hammer (water
banging in the pipes) in house plumbing can
cause damage to appliance parts and can lead
to water leakage or flooding.
• Connecting the water line must only be installed
by a qualified plumber and in accordance with
local legislation and regulations governing water
quality.
Assembling the Water
Filter
Unplug the appliance.
1
Turn off the water supply to the appliance.
2
Open the Water filter cover.
3
Insert the water filter into the filter head and
4
rotate it clockwise until the arrow on the filter
lines up with the arrow on the filter head.
Swing the filter back into the compartment.
Close the Water filter cover.
5
NOTE
• This water line installation is not covered by the
appliance warranty.
Connecting the Water Tube to the
Appliance
Unscrew the metal threaded collar nut at the
1
back of the appliance and place it over one
end of the water tube.
Turn on the water supply and switch on the
6
appliance.
