Saving energy
If you follow the instructions below, your appliance will use less power.
Note: The arrangement of the fittings does not affect the energy consumption of the appliance.
--------
Installing the appliance
Keep the appliance out of direct sunlight. The appliance needs to cool less frequently at low ambient tempera-
tures and therefore consumes less power.
Install the appliance as far away as possible from heating elements,
cooker and other heat sources:
At least 1¼” (3 cm) from electric or gas cookers.
At least 11¾" (30 cm) from oil or solid-fuel cookers.
NOTICE: If this is not possible, attach an insulating plate between the
appliance and heat source.
Select an installation location at a room temperature of approx. 68 °F
(20 °C).
Do not cover or block the ventilation openings. The appliance needs to cool less frequently if the warm air can
escape and therefore consumes less power.
Ventilate the room daily.
Using the appliance
Open the appliance door only briefly. The air in the appliance does not warm up so intensely. The appliance
needs to cool less frequently and therefore consumes less power.
Transport purchased food in a cool bag and place in the appliance
quickly.
Allow warm food and drinks to cool down before placing in the appli-
ance.
Thaw frozen food in the refrigerator compartment to utilize the low
temperature of the frozen food.
Always leave a space between the food and the back panel. The air can circulate and the humidity will remain constant.The appli-
ance needs to cool less frequently and therefore consumes less
power.
Pack food airtight.
Do not cover or block the ventilation openings. The appliance consumes less power if the warm air can escape.
Vacuum the ventilation openings once a year.

Before using for the first time
1. Remove information material, adhesive tape and
protective foil.
2. Clean the appliance.
~"Cleaning" on page 23
Water connection
9CAUTION!
■Installation and connection of the appliance
must be carried out by authorized technicians
according to the installation instructions
supplied.
■To avoid damage to the appliance and to
ensure its proper functioning, it should only be
connected to a drinking water system.
■To avoid water damage, a shut-off valve must
be installed.
Water pressure of drinking water system
9CAUTION!
To avoid damage to the appliance, a pressure
relief valve must be installed between the
drinking water connection and the tubing,
should the water pressure exceed the
maximum value.

the relevant functions of the appliance.
■Min. 0.2 Mpa (2 bar / 29 psi)
■Max. 0.8 Mpa (8 bar / 116 psi)
Electrical connection
9CAUTION!
Do not connect the appliance to electronic
energy saver plugs.
Note: You can connect the appliance to mains-
controlled and sine-controlled inverters.
Mains-controlled inverters are used for photovoltaic
systems which are connected directly to the national
grid. Sine-controlled inverters must be used for
isolated applications. Isolated applications, e.g. on
ships or in mountain lodges, are not directly
connected to the national grid.
1. After installing the appliance, wait at least 1 hour
before connecting it to prevent damaging the
compressor.
2. Connect the appliance via a correctly installed
outlet.
9WARNING
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!
The appliance must be properly grounded.
Never cut through or remove the third
(ground) conductor of the power cord.
Never use adapters.
Never use extension leads.
Requirements for outlets
Maximum simultaneous load
3. Connect the appliance to a outlet near the
appliance.
The outlet must be freely accessible even after
the appliance has been installed.

Ice maker
9CAUTION!
DAMAGE TO THE APPLIANCE!
Never store bottles or food in the ice cube
container, even for short periods. This can
block and damage the ice maker.
Ice cube production starts as soon as the appliance
has reached the set temperature.
Note: Ice cube production stops automatically when
the ice cube container is full.
Information about switching ice cube production on
and off
~"Switching ice cube production on and off"
on page 17
Ice pack
In the event of a power failure or a fault:
■The ice pack delays the warming of stored frozen
food.
Note: The longest storage time is obtained by
placing the ice pack on the food in the top
compartment.
You can take out the ice pack to temporarily keep
food cool, e.g. in a cool bag.
Water filter
The water filter must be replaced after 6 months at
the latest.
If the ice tastes stale, discard the rest of the ice
cubes and the ones produced over the next 24
hours. If the ice still tastes stale, change the water
filter.
A new water filter or a particle filter can be obtained
from customer service or a specialist dealer.
Note: You can also use the appliance without a
water filter. Replace the water filter with a particle
filter and switch the water filter counter off. There is
no need to change the particle filter.
Changing the water filter or replacing with a
particle filter
You can change the water filter, or replace it with a
particle filter. The particle filter can remain in the
appliance permanently: it does not need to be
changed.
Note: After installing a new water filter, discard all ice
cubes produced over the first 24 hours.
1. Turn the cap of the water filter clockwise.
2. Take the water filter out.
3. Remove the protective cap of the new filter.
4. Take off the cap of the old water filter and put it
on the new filter.
5. Slide the new filter to the stop in the filter
opening.
Note: The cap must be horizontal here.
6. Turn the water filter counterclockwise to the stop.
7. When using a water filter: Reset water filter
counter.
~"Reset water filter counter" on page 17
When using a particle filter: Switch off the water
filter counter.
~"Switching the water filter counter on and off"
on page 17
8. Discard the ice cubes produced over the first 24
hours.
9. Drain the water out of the old water filter.
Note: You can dispose of the old water filter with
your household garbage.

9CAUTION!
To reduce the risks associated with property
damage due to water leakage:
■Read and follow user instructions before
installation and use of this system.
■Installation and use must comply with all state
and local plumbing codes.
■Do not install if water pressure exceeds
120 psi/827 kPa. If your water pressure
exceeds 80 psi, you must install a pressure
limiting valve.
