Since this is a large and heavy appliance, before
transporting the appliance, check the access to
the location where it will be installed (door size,
maneuvering space in stairwells, etc.).
The appliance is attached to the base of the packaging
(pallet) through four bolts which can be removed
using a 19 mm (3/4") wrench.
It is recommended to use a manual transporting device
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 appliance 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 securing
[ 1 ]
the appliance
to the pallet by means of a 19 mm (3/4") wrench or
socket.
>
Remove the fixing brackets
[ 3 ]
and
[ 4 ]
.
>
To release the front fixing bracket
[ 3 ]
, loosen the
rear wheel adjusting bolt
[ 2 ]
by means of a 13 mm
(1/2") wrench or socket. Avoid straining this bolt at its
stop points one way or the other so as to not damage
the rear leveling system.
Ensure the front leveling legs are retracted so that
all 4 wheels are able to contact the floor for easiest
maneuvering.

>
From the back or side of the unit and by means of a
suitable, heavy duty hand trolley, take off the appliance
and place it on the floor.
Be very careful to avoid any damage to floors.
Delicate floors should be protected with plywood,
hard
cardboard
or
similar
material
panels.
>
At this point, adjust the rear rollers down (clockwise
on the leveling rod
[ 2
]) until they make contact with
the floor and raise the rear of the appliance enough
that it will roll freely
3.2 Electrical and water connection
The supplied water filter cannot make
it safe to drink any water which is not
already suitable for human consumption.
The appliance should be connected only
to a potable water supply system.
Do not use extension cords or adapters.
Once the appliance is fully installed,
connected
to
the
water
supply
applicable), and operational, in the event
that the water supply must be turned off,
disable the ice maker before the main
water is shut off to prevent the appliance
from entering a 'NO WATER IN' alarm
state. Refer to the Use & Care Manual for
how to disable the ice maker.

CONNECTION
W
E
W
E
Electrical or water connections located
directly behind the appliance must be
recessed. Do not put the water shut-off
valve directly behind the appliance.
It should be in an accessible location.
The appliances are delivered from the factory for
operation at 110V-120V AC - 60Hz (US and Canada).
They are provided with a suitable supply cable and
plug to be connected to an appropriate 15A socket
providing an effective grounding.
A dedicated 15A 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
accessible shut-off valve must be supplied.
The appliance is provided with a water adapter
elbow which is suitable for the recommended water
pressure and complies the applicable food and water
regulations.
The water filter cartridge, which is provided with
the appliance, should be installed according to the
accompanying instructions. Please refer to water
filter installation instructions contained in the water
filter kit. The solenoid connection on the appliance
is 3/4" diameter but is metric threaded (NPT).
A standard garden hose threaded connector such as
(if
a braided stainless hose found at typical hardware
stores will strip or damage the solenoid threads. It
is recommended to use only the supplied 1/4" quick
connect elbow adapter for connecting a 1/4" copper
or polyethylene source water line to the appliance.
Do not use extension cords and/or
multiple adapters for the power supply
connection.

3.3 Energy: Alternatives and Home
Automation
If energy is supplied through an alternative
energy power source (solar, geothermal, etc..)
or if home automation systems are installed
with carrier signals in the power lines, it may
be necessary to install an isolation transformer
(not supplied) to prevent interference with the
appliance's electronics.
