To ensure that the appliance functions correctly, it must 

be set level with a spirit level.
If the appliance is not level, water may flow out of the ice 

maker, ice cubes may be irregular or the doors may not 

close properly.

– Avoid the risk of an electric shock!
– Insert into a grounded 3-phase socket. 

Never remove grounding phase. Do not use any 

adapters. Do not use any extension cables.

– Non-compliance with these instructions may 

result in death, fire or an electric shock. 

Improper connection of the protective 

conductor may result in an electric shock. If you 

are in doubt whether the appliance has been 

grounded properly, have the appliance tested 

by a qualified electrician or service technician. 

The socket must be near the appliance and also freely 

accessible following installation of the appliance. 

The appliance complies with protection class I. 

Connect the appliance to 115 V/60 Hz alternating 

current via a correctly installed socket with protective 

conductor. The socket must be fused with a 10 to 16 A 

fuse. 
The appliance comes with a UL registered 3-wire power 

cord. The appliance requires a 3-pole socket. Please 

observe the following table with regard to this: 

Check on the rating plate whether the indicated voltage 

and current type correspond with the values of your 

power supply. The location of the rating plate can be 

found in the chapter entitled Customer service.

Never connect the appliance to electronic energy 
saver plugs. Our appliances can be used with 
mains and sine-controlled inverters. Mains-
controlled inverters are used for photovoltaic 
systems which are connected directly to the 
national grid. Sine-controlled inverters must be 
used for isolated applications (e.g. on ships or in 
mountain lodges) which are not connected 
directly to the national grid.

Connect the appliance to a drinking water line.

The water may be connected only by a competent fitter 

according to the local regulations of the appropriate 

water supply company. 
A cold water connection is necessary for operating the 

automatic ice maker. The water pressure must be 

between 25 and 120 p.s.i. (1,72 and 8,25 bar). 

The installation must correspond to the local plumbing 

regulations. 
A separate shut-off valve should be installed in the cold-

water inflow. The shut-off valve should not be located 

behind the appliance. It is recommended that you mount 

the shut-off valve directly next to the appliance or at 

another place which is easily accessible. When installing 

the water connection, pay attention to the permissible 

installation area for the water mains. 
For connection to the drinking water mains use only 

water pipes which are suitable for drinking water. 

Observe national regulations and the connection 

conditions of the local water supply companies. 
When installing the water connection, observe the 

permitted installation areas for the pipe. For the 

permitted installation areas and dimensions see 

“Dimensions of the installation niche”.
The maximum outside diameter of the water mains 

(without connecting pieces) is
