contain safety advice which is important for
safe and problem-free installation and opera­tion. Always read and follow the safety advice.

-

It is important that the guidelines and instruc­tions in this manual are followed so that the
appliance is correctly installed and operates
properly Read and understand all information
in this manual before the appliance is installed

-

The socket must be easily accessible so that
the appliance can be disconnected from the
mains quickly in an emergency. It must not be
behind the back of the appliance.

DANGER indicates a hazardous situation,

which if not avoided, will result in
death or serious injury.

WARNING indicates a hazardous situation,

which if not avoided, could result in
death or serious injury.

WARNING

Danger of fire and damage!

u

Kitchen Cabinet Construction

NOTICE

Risk of damage for the finished floor surface!

u

Protect the finished floor surface before you uncrate the
unit.

Verify that:

q

The floor under the appliance is flat and level.

q

The floor can support the appliance's weight plus
approximately 1200 pounds (544 kg) of food weight.

q

The appliance is not placed in direct sunlight or near
the stove, range top, radiators and similar heat
sources.

q

The kitchen cabinet that the appliance is installed in is
shimmed to the floor level if the floor heights are not
equal.

q

Cutout dimensions are accurate.

q

Electrical outlet is in correct location.

q

The air flow is not restricted. Air flow must be provided
for the appliance to operate properly. The factory air
vents provide 31 square inches (200 cm2) of air flow
per appliance. If you are replacing the air vents with an
overlay, the air flow must be the same or greater than
the factory air vents.

u

Examine the unit and packaging for shipping damage.
Contact the carrier immediately if you suspect there is
any damage.

u

Note the type (model, number), index, appliance/serial
number, date of purchase and where purchased .

u

Remove anything attached to the rear or side walls of
appliance that would prevent proper installation or
impede proper ventilation.

u

Unscrew the red transport
lock. Close the vacated
retaining hole using the
stopper (70).

Make a separate kitchen cabinet
for each appliance for Side-by­Side installations.

Consider having a professional install the appliance in
your kitchen cabinet.

3.1 Kitchen Cabinet Airflow

Note

u

Clean the appliance .

If the appliance is set up in humid areas, condensation
may build on the outside of the appliance.

u

Always ensure proper ventilation.

- There must be a ventilation space at least 31 in

3 Kitchen Cabinet Construction

This is a fully integrated appliance which means that it is
fully enclosed by a kitchen cabinet. This type of cabinet
must be carefully constructed using the proper dimen­sions and it must provide proper ventilation to ensure
proper appliance operation.

3.3 Designing the Kitchen Cabinet Doors

Fig. 5

You need two doors for the kitchen cabinet, one on top for
the refrigerator compartment, and one on the bottom for
the freezer compartment.

In general, the doors have these characteristics:

The doors should be at least 5/8 in. (16 mm) and max.

­3/4 in. (19 mm) thick to allow the connecting rails to be
fastened to them.
With both doors closed, there should be a minimum of

­1/8 in. (3 mm) between the upper and lower doors.

Also, there should be an 1/8 in. (3 mm) clearance

­between the upper door and the cabinet door above it
(if any).
The width of the cabinet doors depends on the kitchen

­style and size of the gaps between the door panels of
the cabinetry. Generally, a 1/8 in. (3 mm) vertical gap
between the cabinet doors is recommended.
The top edge of the upper door

-

cabinet(s), if any.
The position of the joint between the kitchen cabinet

­doors must be level with the position of the joint

Fig. 5 (2)

The unit doors must be assembled flat and free from

­tension.
Adjust the door alignment before installing the appli-

­ance. It is impossible to adjust the door with the appli­ance installed.

NOTICE

Excessively heavy unit doors can cause potential
damage!
If the unit doors are too heavy, we cannot rule out damage
to the hinges, which may compromise the use of the unit.

u

Before installing the unit doors, ensure the doors do not
exceed the permissible weight.

ment

The freezer door height is 24-24/32 in. (629 mm).

u

To cover the lower part of the appliance: increase the
height of the panel to 27-3/32 in. (695 mm).

The thickness of the floor board is usually 3/4 in. (19 mm).

u

To cover the face side of the floor board
increase the height of the panel to 27-3/8 in. + 3/4 in. =
28-1/8 in. ( 695 mm + 19 mm = 714 mm ).

Without door panels on the unit, there is a gap of freezer

gap between the two doors

Of course, the final door height depends on the gap posi­tion of the cabinets that stand to the left and right of the
appliance cabinet.

cabinet this furniture typically has a gap between two
drawers or two doors. Depending on your kitchen, these
gaps are approximately 1/8 in. (3 mm) wide.

u

In this case, increase the height of the panel to
27-3/8 in. + 3/4 in. + 19/32 in. - 1/8 in. = 28-19/32 in.
( 695 mm + 19 mm + 15 mm - 3 mm = 726 mm ).

The height of the refrigerator door panel is:

Changing the door hinges

u

The total opening of the cabinet (i.e. 70-3/8 in.
(1788 mm)) plus the thickness of the top as well as the
floor board (usually 3/4 in. (19 mm)) minus the height of
the freezer door panel (xxx in. (xxx mm)) as calculated
above and subtract the width of the gap (approximately
1/8 in. (3 mm)): 70-3/8 in. + 3/4 in. + 3/4 in. - xxx in. ­1/8 in. = 71-25/32 in. - xxx in. ( 1788 mm + 19 mm +
19 mm - xxx mm - 3 mm = 1823 mm – xxx mm )

5 Water connection*

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard!

u

Do not make the water connection while the appliance
is connected to an electrical outlet.

u

Disconnect the water supply before connecting the
water lines for the IceMaker.

u

The connection to the water supply may only be made
by a trained and licensed plumber.

WARNING

Poisoning Hazard!

u

The water quality must comply with the drinking water
regulations for the geographical area where the appli­ance is located.

u

The IceMaker is designed exclusively to make ice
cubes in quantities needed by a household and must
only be operated with water appropriate for this
purpose.

Water pressure:
psi MPa (bar)

21.76 to 87.02 0,15 to 0,6 (1.5 to 6)

Water connection

Fig. 10

- Water must be supplied to
the appliance through a cold
water pipe that complies with
hygiene standards and can
withstand the operating pres­sure.

- Use the supplied stainless­steel hose (78-3/4 '' (2 m)).
Do not reuse old hoses.

- A stopcock must be placed
between the hose line and
the domestic water connec­tion to cut off the water
supply, if necessary. The
stopcock should be located
away from the back of the
appliance and within easy
reach.

- All devices and equipment
used to supply water must
comply with the regulations in
force in the respective
country.

- Do not damage or kink the
water supply line during
installation.

- The solenoid valve is located
at the bottom of the back of
the appliance. It has a metric
R3/4 connecting thread.

u

Unscrew the cap from the hose and insert the seal.

u

To install the stainless-steel hose: connect the G 3/4”
coupling to the solenoid valve and the 1/2” NPTF
coupling to the stopcock.

u

Open the stopcock for the water supply and
check the entire water system for leaks.
Before using for the first time:

u

Have the water line bled by a competent
professional.
