BlockIng for Safety
Safety Instructions and Warnings
• Do not install the water connection while the com-
bined refrigerator-freezer is connected to an electrical
outlet.
• The connection to the water supply may only be made
by a trained and licensed plumber.
• All equipment and devices used to supply the water
to the appliance must comply with the current regula-
tions for your geographical area.
WARNING!
Connect to potable water supply only.
Water Connection Requirements
• 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.
• A shut-off valve, must be installed between the hose
line and the main water supply so the water supply
can be stopped if necessary.
IMPORTANT
Do not install the shut-off valve behind the appliance.
The connection to the valve connector can be done with
or without the angle connector, as required.
Braided style ice maker hoses can be connected directly
to the threaded ends.
For connection with 1/4" OD copper lines, use the union
nut with compression ring.
IMPORTANT
Make sure that the connection is fitted with
a seal and is tight.
• Insert the water strainer supplied into the
valve connector (Figure 14).
Water Connection Adapter - Figure 13
IMPORTANT
Only use the supplied adapter for connection to the
solenoid valve. The solenoid valve has a metric R3/4
male connector. Any attempt to use other adapters
for connection could damage the thread on the
solenoid valve.
The supplied adapter enables different connection
options for different kinds of water lines. A water line is
not supplied with the appliance.
