Electrical Specifications
The appliance comes with a 3-wire power supply cord.
UL listed in the USA.
The appliance requires a 3-wire receptacle that is fitted with
a 15 Amp fuse or higher. Refer to the following table for max
load details.
The receptacle must be installed by a licensed electrician only.
For the installation position of the receptacle refer to diagram
in “Electrical Location”.
Grounding Instruction
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction
or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock
by providing a path of least resistance for the electric current.
Additional Grounding Procedure
Some local regulations may require a separate ground. In such
cases, the required accessory ground wire, clamp and screw
must be purchased separately. Never ground the appliance to
plastic plumbing lines, gas lines or water pipes.
A 4-conductor cord shall be used when the appliance is
installed in an area where local codes do not permit grounding
through the neutral. Power supply cord must be replaced by a
licensed electrician only.
Warning
Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor
may result in electric shock. Have the appliance checked by a
qualified electrician or service technician if you are in doubt as
to whether the appliance has been properly grounded.
Electrical Location
Side-by-Side Installation
Water Location
A cold water connection is required for appliances that feature
an ice maker or an ice and water dispenser.
The water pressure must be between 40 and 120 p.s.i.
(2.75‒8.25 bar). The installation must comply with local
plumbing regulations.
A separate shut-off valve must be installed for the appliance
water connection.
The shut-off valve for the water connection may not be behind
the appliance. It is recommended to place the shut-off valve
outside the cutout next to the appliance or in another easily
accessible location. When installing the water connection,
observe the permitted installation areas for the water supply
line. The supply line can be located to the right (a), to the left
(b), or underneath (c).
