6Connecting the applianceHave a technician install and connect the applianceaccording to the enclosed installation instructions.Do not remove the transportation protection devicesfrom the shelves and storage compartments untilthe appliance has been installed.Always connect the water before the power.Apart from statutory national regulations, you shouldstick to the connection terms relating to the localelectricity and water companies.After installing the appliance, wait at least 1 hour untilthe appliance starts up. During transportation the oilin the compressor may have flowed intothe refrigeration system.Before switching on the appliance for the first time,clean the interior of the appliance (see chapter“Cleaning the appliance”).Water connectionThe water may be connected only by a competent fitteraccording to the local regulations of the appropriatewater supply company.ã CautionUse only the enclosed hose set for connection to thedrinking water mains. Do not use existing or alreadyused hose sets.Connect the appliance to a drinking water line only :▯ Minimum pressure: 0.2 Mpa (2 bar)▯ Maximum pressure: 0.8 Mpa (8 bar)▯ Pressure over 0.8 MPa (8 bar): install a pressurelimiter between drinking water connection andhose setA separate shut-off valve should be installedin the cold-water inflow.The shut-off valve should not be located behindthe appliance. It is recommended that you mountthe shut-off valve directly next to the appliance or atanother place which is easily accessible.When installing the water connection, pay attentionto the permissible installation area for the watermains.For connection to the drinking water mains use onlywater pipes which are suitable for drinking water.Observe national regulations and the connectionconditions of the local water supply companies.NoteThe maximum outside diameter of the water mains(without connecting pieces) is 10 mm.Electrical connectionThe socket must be near the appliance and also freelyaccessible following installation of the appliance.The appliance complies with the protection class I.Connect the appliance to 220-240 V/50 Hz alternatingcurrent via a correctly installed socket with protectiveconductor. The socket must be fused witha 10 to 16 A fuse.For appliances operated in non-European countries,check whether the stated voltage and current type onthe rating plate match the values of your mains supply.These specifications can be found on the rating plate(see chapter “Customer service”).ã WarningNever connect the appliance to electronic energysaver plugs.Our appliances can be used with mains and sine-controlled inverters. Mains-controlled invertersare used for photovoltaic systems whichare connected directly to the national grid. Sine-controlled inverters must be used for isolatedapplications (e.g. on ships or in mountain lodges)which are not connected directly to the national grid.
