Installing the appliance

Transporting

The appliance is heavy and must be secured during

transportation and installation.

Because of the weight/dimensions of the appliance

and to minimise the risk of injuries and damage to the

appliance at least two persons are necessary to

set‐up the appliance securely.

Installation location

Install the appliance in a dry, well ventilated room. The

installation location should neither be exposed to

direct sunlight nor near a heat source, e. g. a cooker,

radiator, etc. If installation next to a heat source is

unavoidable, use a suitable insulating plate or observe

the following minimum distances to a heat source:

n 3 cm to electric or gas cookers.

n 30 cm to an oil or solid‐fuel cooker.

If installing the appliance next to another refrigerator

or freezer, there must be a minimum gap of 25 mm

between the appliances in order to prevent

condensation.

If a panel or cupboard is installed above the

appliance, ensure that a gap of 30 mm is left so that

the appliance can be pulled out of the recess if

required.

The air heated on the rear side of the appliance must

be allowed to escape unhindered.

en

accessible after the appliance has been installed.

The appliance conforms to protection class I. Connect

the appliance to a 220-240 V/50 Hz alternating

current supply using a socket with protective earthing

conductor which has been correctly installed. The

socket must be protected by a fuse with a rating of 10

A to 16 A or higher.

In the case of appliances operated outside of Europe,

check whether the voltage and type of current

specified on the rating plate conform to the values of

your electricity grid. The rating plate is at the bottom

right inside the appliance. If the power cord needs to

be replaced, this must only be carried out by a skilled

professional.

be dispensed without bubbles. Pour away the first

5 glasses.

When using the ice maker for the first time, do not

use the first 30 - 40 ice cubes for reasons of hygiene.

Operating the ice maker

When the freezer compartment has reached its

freezing temperature, water flows into the ice maker

and freezes into ice cubes. When the ice cubes are

ready, they are automatically discharged into the ice

cube container.

Occasionally the sides of the ice cubes stick together.

When they are conveyed to the outlet opening, they

usually break away from each other.

When the ice cube container is full, ice making

switches off automatically.

The ice maker can make approx. 140 ice cubes within

24 hours.

When ice cubes are being made, the buzzing water

valve, the water flowing into the ice cube tray and the

falling ice cubes can be heard.

Observing drinking water quality

All materials used in the drinks dispenser are

odourless and tasteless.

If the water has an aftertaste, this may be caused by:

n Mineral and chlorine content of the drinking water.

n Material of the domestic water line and connection

line.

n Freshness of the drinking water. If water has not

been dispensed for a long time, the water may have

a “stale” taste. In this case fill approx. 15 glasses of

water and throw away.

We recommend that you regularly dispense a little

fresh water from the water maker and that you do not

switch off the appliance. This will ensure that the best

water quality is retained.

The enclosed water filter will filter only particles out

of the supply water, not bacteria or microbes.
