Water Supply Requirements

Connect the appliance to a cold water supply with a maximum inlet water pressure not exceeding 1.0 MPa. A water pressure between 138 kPa and 827 kPa is recommended for the optimal operation of the water dispenser. If the refrigerator is installed in an area with high water pressure (above 872 kPa), a pressure‑reducing valve must be installed. If the refrigerator is installed in an area with low water pressure (below 138 kPa), you can install a booster pump to compensate for the low pressure. Contact a plumber if unsure how to check your water pressure.If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your cold water supply, the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system needs to be a minimum of 138 kPa.Unplug the appliance before carrying out any work on connecting the water line. Failure to do so may cause electric shock.Only connect the water line to a cold water supply. Failure to do so may cause the water filter to malfunction. Water hammer (water banging in the pipes) in house plumbing can cause damage to appliance parts and can lead to water leakage or flooding.Connect to potable water supply only.Connecting the water line must only be installed by a qualified plumber and in accordance with local legislation and regulations governing water quality.This water line installation is not covered by the appliance warranty.

Connecting Water to the Appliance

Unscrew the metal threaded collar nut at the back of the appliance and place it over one end of the water tube.Firmly push the water tube onto the water inlet valve and tighten up the collar nut.

Connecting to the Water Tap

This feature is only available on some models.Push the water tube into the hole of the tap connector supplied in the accessories. The pipe should be held firmly whilst the connector is pushed onto the pipe.Ensure that the rubber washer is fitted to the inside of the tap connector before screwing it onto the tap. A separate connector or adaptor may need to be purchased if your tap fitting does not match the thread size of the connector provided.Only For GermanyConnect your appliance only to a water tap with a safety device (according to EN 1717) to avoid drinking water pollution through water backflow.To be sure, please ask your installer. In case water tap is without backflow prevention valve (according to EN 1717), you have to use an extra backflow prevention valve compliant with German drinking water ordinance between water tap and water inlet hose.

Checking the Water Connection

Turn on the water supply and switch on the appliance. Carefully check all fittings for possible leaks due to poorly fitted hoses.Press and hold the Water Filter button for three seconds. The new water filter has been activated.Place a cup under the water dispenser to verify that water is flowing through the appliance.Check the connecting tube and joints for leaks once again.
