Connection of the Water
Pipe to the Cold Water Mains
Line
(in some models)
If you want to use your refrigerator by
connecting it to the cold water mains
line,
you will have to connect a standard
1/2” valve connection fitting to the cold
water supply in your house. In case
this valve is not present or in case
you are not sure, consult a qualified
plumber.
1. Separate the union from the tap
adaptor. (Figure A)
2. Install the tap adaptor to 1/2” valve
fitting as shown in the figure. (Figure
B)
3. After inserting the water pipe to the
union, install it to the tap adaptor
and insert to the tap as shown in the
figure. (Figure C)
4. Tighten the union manually. In case of
a leak use a spanner or a pair of pliers
to tighten the union.
AWarning: Secure the water pipe
to suitable points by means of the
pipe clips supplied to avoid any
damage or displacement or accidental
disconnection.
AWarning: After turning on the water
valve, make sure that there is no
leakage at both connection points of
the water pipe. In case of a leak, turn
off the valve immediately and tighten all
joints again using a spanner or a pair
of pliers.

Prior to first use of Ice/Water
Dispenser
CWater mains pressure must not be
below 1 bar.
CWater mains pressure must not be
over 8 bars.
CPumps must be used in case the
supply water pressure drops below 1
bar or if a jug is going to be used.
CWater system of the refrigerator
must be connected to the cold water
line. It must not be connected to hot
water line.
CNo water may be obtained in the
initial startup of the refrigerator. This
is caused by the air in the system. To
discharge air from the system, press
Dispenser latch for periods of 1 minute
until water comes from the Dispenser.
Water flow may be irregular in the
beginning. Irregular water flow will be
normalized after the air in the system is
discharged.
CAt the initial startup of the
refrigerator approx.12 hours must pass
before cold water can be obtained.
CWater mains pressure must be
between 1-8 bars for the operation
of Ice/Water Dispenser smoothly. For
this, check that 1 glass of water (100
cc) can be filled in 10 seconds.
CThe first 10 glasses of water should
not be consumed.
C12 hours must pass to obtain ice
from the Ice Dispenser for the first
time. If there is not enough ice in the
ice dispenser, ice may not be obtained
from ice dispenser.
CApproximately the first 30 cubes
of ice to be obtained from the Ice
Dispenser must not be used.
CAlways use the water filter when a
jug is not being used.

EN

refrigerator should at least be 10°C.
Operating your refrigerator under
cooler conditions than this is not
recommended with regard to its
efficiency.
CPlease make sure that the interior
of your refrigerator is cleaned
thoroughly.
CIf two refrigerators are to be installed
side by side, there should be at least
2 cm distance between them.
CWhen you operate your refrigerator
for the first time, please observe the
following instructions during the initial
six hours.
- The door should not be opened
frequently.
