Door Swing Clearance - Figure 2

Diagram Description (Figure 2): Illustrates the space required for the refrigerator door to open fully, especially when placed next to a wall or cabinet. It shows the door swing arc.

Please allow for door swing clearance at locations next to a wall.

Unit Venting - Figure 3

Diagram Description (Figure 3): Shows the toe kick area at the bottom front of the refrigerator, indicating airflow through this opening. It also shows a cover grille.

CS 20 appliances do not require any ventilation openings in the cabinet. The required airflow is directed through the toe kick area.

It is important to use the provided cover grille for the ventilation opening. This opening must not be covered with a cabinet base.

Cabinet Opening Dimensions - Figure 4

Diagram Description (Figure 4): Depicts the required cabinet opening dimensions for semi-built-in installation. It shows the width (A), depth (B), and height (C) of the opening, along with the recommended placement for the electrical outlet and water supply line opening.

The appliance can be used as freestanding or semi built-in. At semi built in please consider the cabinet opening dimensions as shown in Figure 4.

The requirements for water supply and electrical outlet are the same for both applications.

• A. 36" (914 mm)
• B. 24" (610 mm)
• C. 80-1/2" (2045 mm)

? IMPORTANT Do not install the shut-off valve behind the appliance.

? IMPORTANT At 24" cabinets, the water line opening must be in the location as shown in Figure 4.

At cabinets deeper than 24" there is room to fit the pipe behind the appliance and the wall so there are no requirements for the water line lead out position.

? IMPORTANT The free length of the water supply line must be at least 31 - 1/2" (800 mm) when the tube comes out of the prescribed opening.

BLOCKING FOR SAFETY

Mounting the anti-tipping device on concrete floors - Figure 5 & 6

Diagram Description (Figure 5): Shows the anti-tip bracket being aligned with a center line on the back wall.

Diagram Description (Figure 6): Illustrates the wall plate being attached to the wall with screws, and the bracket being fastened to the wall plate.

Secure the appliance in place so it does not tip forward when the fully stocked door is opened. The anti tipping bracket is provided with the appliance.

1. Mark the center line of the appliance on the back wall. Align the anti tipping bracket center to this line.
2. Be sure that there is no plumbing or electrical wiring located in this area which screws or drills could damage.
3. Drill a 3/8" diameter hole in any position as shown in Figure 4 using a carbide drill bit. The depth of the holes must exceed the overall length of the anchors provided. Clean the holes after drilling.
4. Attach washer and screw on hex nut to the end of each anchor. Drive in all 3 anchors. Align the bracket center to the center line on the back wall again. Fasten the anchors by turning the hex nut.
5. Fasten bracket with 3 screws (1/4" x 2-1/8") into the wall plate (Figure 6).

Mounting the anti-tipping device on wooden floors - Figure 7

Diagram Description (Figure 7): Shows the anti-tip bracket being fastened to a wooden floor with screws, and then to the wall plate.

1. Mark the center line of the appliance on the back wall. Align the anti tipping bracket center to this line.
2. Be sure that there is no plumbing or electrical wiring located in this area which screws or drills could damage.
3. Fasten bracket to the wooden floor using 5 screws (1/4" x 2-1/8"). Drill pilot holes if necessary.
4. Fasten bracket with 3 screws (1/4" x 2-1/8") into the wall plate.

Mounting the anti-tipping device in cabinets deeper than 24" - Figure 8

Diagram Description (Figure 8): Illustrates the installation in a cabinet deeper than 24 inches. It shows a wooden spacer placed between the appliance's back and the wall, with the anti-tip bracket fastened to the floor and the spacer.

To ensure the compressor mounting plate reaches the anti tipping bracket at cabinets deeper than 24", a wooden spacer must be mounted between the appliance back and the wall. The anti tipping bracket will be fastened to the floor downwards and to the spacer backwards.

Be sure the wooden spacer is fastened securely to the floor.

Depth of spacer depending on clearance between appliance and wall.

ICEMAKER

The icemaker for a combined refrigerator-freezer is located in the freezer compartment. It must be connected to the water supply to function properly. These instructions only refer to the installation of the icemaker. Please refer to the Use and Care Manual provided with the appliance for operation instructions. The combined refrigerator-freezer must be level for the icemaker to function properly.

Safety Instructions and Warnings

• ? Do not install the water connection while the combined refrigerator-freezer is connected to an electrical outlet.
• The connection to the water supply may only be made by a trained and licensed plumber.
• The water quality must comply with the drinking water regulations for the geographical area where the appliance is located.

Water Connection

• The water pressure must be between 21.8-87.0 psi (1.5-6 bar).
• Use a 1/4" OD copper line to connect the water supply to the solenoid valve. This is not supplied with the refrigerator (Figure 9).
• A shut-off valve, such as the saddle valve illustrated here, must be installed between the hose line and the main water supply so the water supply can be stopped if necessary.

Diagram Description (Figure 9): Shows a typical water supply connection setup including a shut-off valve (saddle valve), water filter, and the connection to the refrigerator's solenoid valve via a 1/4" OD copper line.

Do not install the shut-off valve behind the refrigeration unit.

• If you have hard water, we recommend you install a water softener. Also, a filter must be installed if the water contains solids such as sand.
• All equipment and devices used to supply the water to the appliance must comply with the current regulations for your geographical area.

Connection to the Water Supply

1. Install the shut-off valve, water filter and automatic shut-off device as required.
2. The solenoid valve has a Metric R3/4 male connector. A R3/4 (metric) to a 1/4" OD adapter is supplied with the icemaker.
3. Move the appliance towards the final position and leave a gap of approx. 30" behind.
4. Insert the water supply line into its intended opening at the back of the appliance (Figure 10).
5. Move the power supply line to the area of the electrical outlet.
6. Do not connect to the electrical outlet before the installation is completed and the water line is connected to the solenoid valve.
7. Push the appliance slowly to the back wall until the compressor mounting plate makes contact with the anti-tipping bracket (Figure 11).
8. To prevent the appliance from tipping forward the compressor mounting plate must have contact with the anti tipping bracket (Figure 11).
9. The water line is visible at the front of the appliance. Screw the OD adapter onto the solenoid valve and connect the water line with the adapter (Figure 12).
10. Open the shut-off valve for the water supply and check the entire water system for leaks.
