Use floor protection when moving the appliance, and do
▶
not move it in a zigzag fashion.
When the appliance door is closed, the mullion rail should

cur.
Never open the mullion rail manually.

If the water pressure is too high or too low, this may impair
functioning of the appliance.
Make sure that the water pressure in the water supply
▶
system is at least 29 psi (200 kPa) and max. 116 psi
(800 kPa).
If the water pressure exceeds the maximum value spec-
▶
ified, a pressure-reducing valve must be installed be-
tween the drinking water connection and the hose set of
the appliance.
Modified or damaged water hoses may result in material
damage and damage to the appliance.
Never kink, crush, modify or cut through water hoses.
▶
Never re-use water hoses that have been used before.

appliance.
Contamination with oil or fat may cause plastic parts and
door seals to become porous.
Keep plastic parts and door seals free of oil and grease.

Metal or metal-style parts in the appliance may contain
aluminum. Aluminum reacts when it comes into contact
with acidic foods.
