Water connection
WARNING
Risk of electric shock and damage
to the appliance!
Disconnect the appliance from the
power source before performing
any work on the water connection.
Only a qualified installation
technician may connect the
appliance to the water supply in
accordance with plumbing and
relevant water utility company
regulations.
Connect the appliance to the water
line:
S Minimum pressure:
14.5 psi (1.0 bar)
S Maximum pressure:
119 psi (8.2 bar)
If the water pressure exceeds 119 psi
(8.2 bar), a pressure reducing valve
must be installed. The ice maker will
not work if the water pressure is below
14.5 psi (1.0 bar).
Install a separate shut−off valve for the
water line.
Do not install the shut−off valve behind
the appliance. The shut−off valve
should be placed directly next to the
appliance or in another easily
accessible location.
The taste and smell of the water can
be improved by installing the filter
cartridge included with the appliance.
In this case, observe the separate
connection requirements related to the
filter (see "Water filter").
The water hose has a
3/4 inch connection.
Electrical connection
WARNING
Risk of electric shock and fire if
electrical connection is not
installed properly!
Plug into a fixed, grounded
3−prong outlet only. The outlet
must be installed and grounded
according to code by a qualified
electrician. If necessary, have the
installation inspected by a
qualified technician to ensure it is
properly grounded.
Do not use an extension cord or
power strip.
Never connect the appliance to an
electronic energy saver plug (such
as Ecoboy, Sava Plug, etc.) or to
power inverters which convert
direct current (DC) to alternating
current (AC) (such as for solar
equipment, power supplies on
ships, etc.).
The outlet for the appliance must be
easy to access and must not be
located behind the appliance.
Connect the appliance to a properly
installed 115 V/60 Hz AC outlet. The
fuse for the outlet must be rated
between 15 A or 20 A.
If the appliance is to be used in a
country other than the U.S., check the
rating plate to determine if the
specified voltage and current type
correspond to the ratings of your
power supply. If the voltage and
current type do not match, the
appliance must not be operated. The
power cord may only be replaced by a
qualified electrician.
