2.7 Connecting the water line
Water connection
Risk of electric shock and damage to the appliance! Disconnect the appliance from the power source before
performing any work on the water connection.
Only a qualified installation technician may connect the appliance to the water supply in accordance with
plumbing and relevant water utility company regulations.
Connect the appliance to a potable water line only:
> Minimum pressure:
0.20 MPa (2.06 bar, 30 PSIG)
> Maximum pressure:
0.68 MPa (6.89 bar, 100 PSIG)
> If the pressure is higher than 0.68 MPa (6.89 bar, 100
PSIG): Install a pressure limiter between the drinking
water connection and the water line inlet.
The water should be connected only by a qualified
plumber in accordance with local regulations
established by the appropriate water utility company.
A cold water connection is required to operate the ice
maker.
The water pressure must be between
0.20 MPa (2.06 bar, 30 PSIG) and
0.68 MPa (6.89 bar, 100 PSIG)
The installation must comply with local plumbing
regulations.
A separate shut-off valve should be installed on the
cold-water inflow.
The shut-off valve should not be located behind the
appliance. It is recommended that you situate the
shut-off-valve directly next to the appliance or in
another easily accessible location.
When installing the water connection, be aware of the
permissible installation area for the water line.
When connecting to the potable water line, use only
water lines that are suitable for potable water. Comply
with local regulations and connection conditions
established by local water utility companies.
