Use and Care Manual

4.8 Installing the water filter*
The water filter ensures optimum water
quality and is available as an accessory. It
should be installed near the appliance in
the cabinet, for example in the adapter
cabinet above the appliance. To connect
the filter to the appliance, it may be neces-
sary to make an opening (C) in the floor of
the adapter cabinet through which the
hoses will be routed. Depending on your
installation setup, you can route the two
water filter hoses either through the rear
panel or through the base of the cabinet.
The maximum length of the water hose
is118-1/8 '' (3 m).
Alternatively, the appliance can also be
operated without the water filter.

The filter cover must be installed during assembly, so
leave sufficient space around the filter module. Maintain
the dimensions shown in Fig. 34 so that the filter can be
replaced and the cover can be removed.

WARNING
Consuming contaminants can be harmful to your health!
u
If there is a chance the water may contain harmful
bacteria or if the water quality is unknown, do not use
this system without appropriate disinfection measures
upstream or downstream of the system.
NOTICE
Leakage water may damage the system!
u
Do not install this system on hot water lines. The
maximum operating temperature of the water in this
system is 100 °F (37.7 °C).
u
This system MUST be installed and used in compli-
ance with federal and local installation regulations.
u
Do not install under water hammer conditions. A water
hammer arrestor must be used to prevent water
hammering. If you are unsure how to check these
conditions, consult a professional installer.
u
Do not install with a water pressure greater than 90 psi
(6.2 bar). If your water pressure exceeds 80 psi, install
a pressure limiting valve. If you are unsure how to
check the water pressure, consult a professional
installer.
u
Protect against frost; if temperatures below 33 °F
(0.6 °C) are expected, remove the filter.
u
When used as indicated, the disposable filter
cartridges must be replaced every 6 months or when-
ever you notice a considerable decrease in the flow
rate.
q
Disconnect the appliance from the mains.
q
Close off the main water supply if the appliance has
already been connected to the tap.
q
Position appliance in front of the recess.

u
Slice open the water hose Fig. 35 (7) located behind the
appliance both in front of and behind the connector
Fig. 35 (8) (90° to direction of hose).
When doing so, make sure the hose does not become
kinked and the cross-section of the hose remains round.
u
Connect the supplied exten-
sion hoses
Fig. 36 (1) to the
appliance hoses Fig. 36 (7) :
Slide the appliance hoses
into the connectors as far as
they will go (approx. 25/32 ''
(20 mm)).

u
Pull the tray
Fig. 37 (4) out
until it catches.
u
Secure the module with 4
screws Fig. 37 (5) through
the recesses in the front
and directly through the
module in the back.

u
Shorten hoses if necessary (90° to direc-
tion of hose). The hoses should be long
enough to allow the appliance to be
pulled out of the recess even when it is
connected to the water filter.
