- catering and similar non-retail applications.

•

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.

• 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.

ENGLISH

• Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.

• If the power cord is damaged or the hole of the outlet socket is loose, do not use the power cord and contact an authorized service centre.

• Do not locate multiple portable outlet sockets or portable power supplies at the rear of the appliance.

• Securely plug the power plug in the outlet socket after completely removing any moisture and dust.

• Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the power cable. Always grip the power plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet socket.

• Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the builtin structure, clear of obstruction.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with a flammable propellant in this appliance.

• Do not tilt the appliance to pull or push it when transporting.

Risk of Fire and Flammable Materials

• If a leak is detected, avoid any naked flames or potential sources 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.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• The amount of refrigerant in your particular appliance is shown on the identification plate inside the appliance.

Installation

• This appliance should only be transported by two or more people holding the appliance securely.

• Install the appliance on a firm and level floor.

Refitting the Fridge and Freezer Door

Refit the doors in the reverse sequence of their removal once the appliance has been passed through all access doors.

• Install the right fridge door first.

• Disassembling/Assembling the water lines.

Collet b Tube c Insert line d Clip

• Gently insert the tube until only one of the tube’s lines is visible. Pull on the tube to make sure that it is tightly fastened.

Connecting the Water Line

This section is applied only to models with plumbed water or ice dispenser.

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)

• 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.

WARNING

NOTE

INSTALLATION

• Connect to potable water supply only.

• Connecting the water line must only be installed by a qualified plumber and in accordance with local legislation and regulations governing water quality.

• This water line installation is not covered by the appliance warranty.

Connecting Water to the Appliance

Unscrew the metal threaded collar nut at the back of the appliance and place it over one end of the water tube.

Firmly push the water tube onto the water inlet valve and tighten up the collar nut.

Ensure that the rubber washer is fitted to the inside of the tap connector before screwing it onto the tap.

• A separate connector or adaptor may need to be purchased if your tap fitting does not match the thread size of the connector provided.

Checking the Water Connection

Turn on the water supply and switch on the appliance. Carefully check all fittings for possible leaks due to poorly fitted hoses.

Press and hold the three seconds. The new water filter has been activated.

Connecting to the Water Tap

This feature is only available on some models.

Push the water tube into the hole of the tap connector supplied in the accessories. The pipe should be held firmly whilst the connector is pushed onto the pipe.

Place a cup under the water dispenser to verify that water is flowing through the appliance.

Check the connecting tube and joints for leaks once again.

Levelling and Door Alignment
