Check installation location
1 Check the cabinetry
– Check the dimensions — height, width, depth, floor level, finished
alcove returns.
– Ensure that the ventilation openings in the cabinetry are clear of obstruction.
– For integrated installation, a finished return of solid material is required
across the top and sides of the new or existing alcove.
– It is recommended that the return should be at least 3 1/2" (89mm)
deep across the sides.
– Refer to 'Cavity Dimensions' prior to installation of the appliance.
2 Check the power supply
– Ensure that there is a separate power outlet for the appliance.
– Avoid sharing the power point with other appliances to prevent the
appliance from accidentally switching off.
– For power requirements, refer to the information on the serial plate.
This is located at the front right-hand side of the drawer when open.
– Ensure your appliance is properly grounded (earthed).
– Connect the appliance to the electrical supply (115VAC, 60Hz) with fitted
plug and lead.
– We recommend to use an isolating switch that is easily accessible
to the user after the appliance is installed.

when installing this appliance.
3 Check the water supply (for Ice and Water models only)
– Ensure that there is a separate water supply connection for the appliance.
– Your appliance must be installed by a qualified appliance installer as
incorrect plumbing can lead to water leaks.
