All appliances equipped with an ice maker or
water dispenser must be connected to a mains
water supply that delivers potable water only
(with water pressure between 1.7 and 8.1 bar
(25 and 117 PSI)). Ice makers and/ or water
dispensers not directly connected to a mains
water supply must be filled with potable water
only.
