Connection of the water supply
To carry this out, use the kit provided which contains all the
necessary elements for connection to the water supply.
To improve the performance of the Aqua Care, we
recommend that you fit a tap with a filter on the pipe for
the connection to the water system: in this way it will be
possible to manually interrupt the water supply during long
periods in which Aqua Care is not used.
! The water pressure inside the water system must be
between 0.8 bar and 8 bar.
! The appliance must only be connected to a water supply
suitable for drinking.
Aqua Care function
The refrigerator you have purchased is fitted with the Aqua
Care system which, thanks to an advanced filter system
with active carbons, provides your household with fresh,
filtered water.
! To improve the system’s performance, we recommend
that you follow the instructions contained in this manual
and in the assembly diagram provided with the kit.
Starting Aqua Care
After connecting it to the water system, installing the filter
(see Replacing Aqua Care filter) and switching on the
refrigerator (See Starting the appliance), it is necessary to
remove any air from the Aqua Care system:
1. Activate the AQUA CARE function
by pressing the correct button (see
Control panel).
2. Place a container under the
dispenser.
3. Hold the button down until the
water is dispensed.
4. Drain and discard three litres of
water.
! When using for the first time and each time the Aqua
Care system is not used for more than 1 week, it will be
necessary to drain and discard three litres of water.
Disposing of the plug
Cut off and dispose of the supplied plug if it does not fit
your socket. The cable should be cut as close as possible
to the moulded plug.
Remove the fuse.
WARNING:
To avoid a shock hazard do not insert the discarded
plug into a socket anywhere else.
Fitting a new plug
IMPORTANT:
WIRES IN THE MAINS LEAD ARE COLOURED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING CODE...

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead may not
correspond with the coloured markings identifying the
terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
- Connect Green and Yellow wire to terminal marked
'E' or or coloured Green and Yellow.

If a 13amp plug (BS 1363) is used it must be
fitted with a 13amp fuse. A 15amp plug must be protected
by a 15amp fuse, either in the plug or adaptor or at the
distribution board.
If you are in any doubt about the electrical
supply to your machine, consult a qualified
electrician before use.
