3.1 Transport to installation site and
unpacking
The appliance is very heavy.
Take maximum care during handling to
avoid injury.
The appliance should always be transpor-
ted in an erect position. Avoid at all costs
leaning it on its front side.
Since this is a large and heavy appliance, before tran-
sporting the appliance, check the access to the loca-
tion where it will be installed (door size, manoeuvring
space in stairwells, etc.).
The appliance is attached to the base of the packa-
ging (pallet) through four bolts which can be removed
using a
3/4” (19 mm)
wrench.
It is recommended to use a manual transporting de-
vice to move the appliance to the installation site, and
only at this point to remove the base of the packaging.
The appliance should always be transported in an
erect position. If this is not possible, transport the ap-
pliance laying on its rear side.
Once at the installation site, the appliance, which is
equipped with four wheels, can be taken off the pallet
and positioned in the installation area.
Operate as follows:
>
Take off the four bolts
[ 1 ]
securing the appliance
to the pallet by means of a
3/4” (19 mm) wren
ch or
socket.
>
Remove the fixing brackets
[ 3 ]
and
[ 4 ]
.
>
To remove the front fixing bracket
[ 3 ]
, unscrew for
one or two turns the rear wheel adjusting bolt
[ 2 ]
by
means of a
1/2” (13 mm)
socket, do not overtighten
the nut as it could damage the leveling feet adjusting
system.
>
From the back of the unit and by means of a
suitable,
high duty hand trolley, take off the appliance
and place
it on the floor. Be mindful of any debris
on
the floor
which could get caught under the rollers
and poten-
tially damage the flooring when moving
the appliance.
Be very careful to avoid any damage to floors. Delicate
floors should be protected with plywood, hard cardbo-
ard or similar material panels.
3. PREPARING THE INSTALLATION
3.2 Electrical and water connection
The Built-in filter cannot make it safe to
drink any water which is not suitable for
human consumption.
The appliance should be connected only to
a drinkable water supply system.
Do not use extension cords or adapters.
Once the appliance is fully installed, con-
nected to the water supply (if applicable) and
operational, in the event that the water supply
must be turned off, (touch the button on
control panel to switch it off) before the main
water is shut off to prevent the appliance
from entering a ‘NO WATER
IN’ alarm state.
The appliances are delivered from the factory for ope-
ration at
115V, 60Hz.
Do not connect the refrigerator to any GFCI receptacle.
They are provided with a suitable supply cable
and plug to be connected to an appropriate 15A
socket provided with an effective grounding.
A
circuit breaker should also be installed and should
be easily accessible so that it can be easily switched
off before performing any installation or maintenance.
To connect to the water supply system (for appliances
equipped with ice makers) a 1/4” waterline with ac-
cessible shut-off valve must be supplied.
The appliance is provided with a water adapter elbow
which is suitable for high water pressure and com-
plies the Food Regulations. The water filter cartridge,
which is provided with the appliance, should be instal-
led according to the accompanying instructions. Use
only the new adapter which is supplied with the ap-
pliance. The solenoid connection on the appliance
is 1/4” diameter but is metric threaded. A standard
garden hose threaded connector such as a braided
stainless hose found at typical hardware stores will
strip or damage the solenoid threads. Use only the
supplied 1/4” quick connect elbow adapter for con-
necting a 1/4” copper or polyethylene source water
line to the appliance.
Electrical cord length:
98 3/8” (2500 mm)
Water connection line length:
