Safety instructions and warnings. Liebherr HC1540

I ce m aker

IMPORTANT

The following description of the water connection is for models HCB 1560/1561. Models HC 1540/1541 have a water tank in the refrigerator compartment to supply the IceMaker. For these models, only point 4 (Figure 18) is to be observed.

• The solenoid valve has a metric

R3/4 male connector. An R3/4

(metric) to a 1/4" OD adapter is supplied with the ice maker.

• Insert the water strainer provided into the OD adapter with the cavity downwards

(Figure 16).

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.

• All equipment and devices used to supply the water to the appliance must comply with the current regulations for your geographical area.

IMPORTANT

Be sure the strainer is inserted with the cavity downwards. Otherwise the strainer could be damaged when mounting the OD adapter onto the solenoid valve.

Connection to the Water Supply

1. Move the appliance towards the final position and leave enough space to work behind.

2. Insert the water supply line into its intended opening at the back of the appliance (Figure 17).

Water Connection

• The water supply pressure requirements are different based on whether or not the supplied Liebherr water filter is installed. With the filter installed, the pressure must be in the range of 40-90 psi (2.8-6.2 bar). Without the filter installed, the acceptable pressure range is 22-87 psi (1.5-6 bar). Failure to meet these requirements will likely result in ice maker malfunction and possibly cause a water leakage that can damage flooring and surrounding furniture.

• Use a 1/4" OD copper line to connect the water supply to the solenoid valve.

This is not supplied with the appliance (Figure 15).

• A shut-off valve, such as the saddle valve illustrated here, must be installed between

Figure 15

the hose line and the main water supply so the water supply can be stopped if necessary.

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

3. Move the power supply line to the area of the electrical outlet.

Do not connect to the electrical outlet before the installation is completed and the water line is connected to the solenoid valve.

4. Move the appliance slowly into the recess until the appliance back slides into the anti tipping bracket (Figure 18).

8. Screw the OD adapter onto the solenoid valve

(Figure 20).

5. Remove the cover from the valve connector

(Figure 19).

6. The water line is visible at the front of the appliance. Connect the water line to the OD adapter

(Figure 19).

7. Bleed the air from the water line by opening the water supply temporarily.

9. Open the shut-off valve for the water supply and check the entire water system for leaks.

IMPORTANT

After starting up the appliance, the water pipe system must be purged of any air. Refer to chapter "Bleeding the Ice Maker" in the operating instructions.
