The water connection must only be installed by a
qualified plumber and in accordance with local
legislation and regulations governing water quality.

With a hose length of up to 6 m, the outlet connection
must be installed no higher than 1 m.
With a hose length of over 6 m, the maximum
installation height decreases by 0.1 with each additional
metre.
The outlet hose has a plugtype connection and can be
connected to a 3/4inch thread using the supplied
coupling piece.
A hose extension (2.3 m long) and a reducer for
connecting to a 1inchconnection can be ordered as
accessories. See "Tools and accessories".
Note!
The outlet connection on the appliance has no
check valve. If connected incorrectly, there is a risk
of flooding caused by returning waste water. Do not
connect the appliance to the drainage system in
conjunction with other appliances, e.g. using a
Tpiece. The outlet connection of the appliance
must not be lower than the wastes of other
appliances.
Always connect the appliance directly to the
drainage system and above the wastes of other
appliances, e.g. dishwashers.

automatic ice maker is inoperable with a water pressure
of below 1 bar.
A separate stop valve must be installed in the
freshwater supply line.
The stop valve must not be located behind the
appliance. It is recommended that the stop valve be
fitted directly next to the appliance or in another easily
accessible area.
The freshwater hose has a 3/4inchconnection.
A hose extension (2.3 m long) and a reducer for
connecting to a 1inchconnection can be ordered as

In order not to affect the taste of the water, only original
hose extensions are permitted to be used. These are
neutral to taste and are food safe.
