Installation

Electric safety of the ice cube maker is achieved solely when the appliance is properly
connected to an efficient earthing system made in compliance with current national safety
standards. Make sure that this fundamental safety requirement is respected and, if you are
in any doubt, ask for a thorough check of the electric system by professionally qualified
and authorized staff. The manufacturer declines all responsibility for damage and/or inju-
ry that might ensue from any failure to earth the system properly. It is essential that the
electrical wiring system where the appliance is to be installed should have adequate cur-
rent carrying capacity for the maximum power of the appliance, as shown on the data
plate. To achieve a proper and safe installation of the ice cube maker, it is necessary to
provide an appropriate earthed socket, with a contact-opening gap of no less than 3 mm,
in accordance with current national safety standards. This switch must moreover be
equipped with fuses.
Make sure to unroll the power supply cable to its entire lenght and check that it is not
squeezed in any way.
5.10 Connection to water mains
5.10.1 Connection to cold water
The ice cube maker is designed solely for producing ice cubes and must be fed exclusively
with cold water for human consumption (drinking water).
The running pressure must be between 1-6 bar.
Connection to the water mains must be made following the manufacturer’s instructions
by professionally qualified staff.
Between the water mains and the charge pipe of the ice cube maker, a tap must be installed
so that the water supply may be shut off if need be.
Never turn the water supply tap off when the appliance is working.
Where the feed water is particularly hard, you are advised to install a softener. Any solid
particles (e.g., sand) may be eliminated by installing a mechanical filter, which must be
periodically inspected and cleaned. These filters must be in compliance with the relevant
national standards in force.
