Starting up the ice maker and dispenser
Preparations before starting up the ice maker and dispenser
The ice maker can be connected either directly to a water supply line if fitted
with a filter (option A) or to a drinking water container if fitted with a water
pump (option B).
Cut the water line to the right length to prevent it from kinking. The
recommended maximum length for the water line is 12 m. The pressure drop
resulting from an excessively long water line could adversely affect the ice cube
maker capacity.
Keep the water line away from heat sources.
The water supply line should be installed and checked by professionals.
When calling for refrigerated water for the first time, keep pressure on the
dispenser lever for one minute several times until water flows out, in order to
allow the water tank inside the appliance to fill up. Be sure not to hold the
dispenser lever pressed for too long, otherwise the water valve may overheat.
Option A:
Water supply line installation
The pressure of the cold water supplied to the ice maker should be within 1.5-8.5
bar.
It is recommended to use drinking water for producing ice cubes since the filter
does not sterilise bacteria.
Option B:
The water pump must be connected to its own outlet and properly grounded.
Removal or modification of the water pump and modification or repair of the
water supply line by unauthorised persons are not permissible.
To prevent fire, do not store or use flammable products such as fuel near the
water pump.
The water pump is to be used solely with room temperature water; it is not
suitable for use with chemicals, fruit juice or other grainy drinks, coffee or other
hot liquids.
If the water pump will not be used for en extended period of time, pull out its
power plug.
Periodically check the water tank to make sure that the water level is sufficient.
Do not push, shake or knock the water pump.
Place the water pump and drinking water container on a sturdy and level surface.
After opening the small lid of the drinking water container, protect the opening
with a dust cover. Guide one end of a hose to the bottom of the container and
connect the other end to the water pump inlet (indicated by an INLET symbol).
Connect one end of another hose to the water pump outlet (indicated by an
OUTLET symbol) and the other end to the water valve inlet under the back of the
refrigerator.
