This article explains how to assemble the ABBINATO 2013 by Boretti.
Trim kits and decorator panels. For Built-In Style models Read these instructions completely and carefully. Before You Begin Some models are equipped with trim kits that allow you to install door panels. Panels less than 6 mm thick When installing wood panels less than 6 mm thick, you need to create a filler panel, such as 3 mm cardboard, that will fit between the face of the door and the wood panel. If you are installing the pre-cut decorator panels, pre-cut filler panels are included in the kit. The combined thickness of the decorator or wood panel and the filler panel should be 6 mm. Panels 6 mm thick or less 19 mm or Raised Panel A raised panel design screwed or glued to a 6 mm thick backing, or a 19 mm routed board can be used. The raised portion of the panel must be fabricated to permit clearances of at least 5.1 cm from the handle side for fingertip clearance. Panels thicker than 6mm, up to 19 mm max, will require that the outer 8 mm of panel perimeter be no thicker than 6 mm. Weight limitations for custom panels: Refrigerator Door 17 kg max. Freezer Door 13 kg max. Panels thicker than 6 mm 6 mm max 6 mm max 19 mm 8 mm

Installation Instructions
INSTALLING THE WATER LINE
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
The water line installation is not warranted by the refrigerator or icemaker manufacturer. Follow these recommendations carefully to minimize the risk of expensive water damage. Water hammer (water banging in the pipes) in house plumbing can cause damage to refrigerator parts and lead to water leakage or flooding. Call a qualified plumber to correct water hammer before installing the water supply line to the refrigerator. To prevent burns and product damage, do not hook up the water line to the hot water line. If you use your refrigerator before connecting the water line, make sure the icemaker power switch is in the O (off) position. Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas where temperatures fall below freezing. When using any electrical device (such as a power drill) during installation, be sure the device is insulated or wired in a manner to prevent the hazard of electric shock. All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements. Installation of the icemaker must be done by a qualified service technician.
⚠ WARNING! Connect to potable water supply only. 1 CONNECT THE TUBING TO THE REFRIGERATOR NOTES: • Before making the connection to the refrigerator, be sure the refrigerator power cord is not plugged into the wall outlet. • We recommend installing a water filter if your water supply has sand or particles that could clog the screen of the refrigerator’s water valve. Install it in the water line near the refrigerator. 1 CONNECT THE TUBING TO THE REFRIGERATOR (CONT.) Some models have the refrigerator connection at the end of tubing located outside the compressor compartment access cover. On other models, the compressor compartment access cover must be removed in order to access the refrigerator connection at the water valve. Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) onto the end of the tubing as shown. Insert the end of the tubing into the water valve connection as far as possible. While holding the tubing, tighten the fitting. Fasten the tubing into the clamp provided to hold it in a vertical position. You may need to pry open the clamp. On models using the refrigeration connection at the water valve, remove the plastic flexible cap. Reattach the access cover. One of the illustrations below will look like the connection on your icemaker. Typical Compression Nut Tubing Clamp Tubing Ferrule (sleeve) Refrigerator Connection Tubing Tubing Clamp Typical Compression Nut Ferrule (sleeve) Connection Refrigerator One of the illustrations below will look like the connection on your icemaker. Installation Instructions 2 TURN THE WATER ON AND PLUG IN THE REFRIGERATOR Arrange the coil of tubing so that it does not vibrate against the back of the refrigerator or against the wall. Push the refrigerator back to the wall. 3 START THE ICEMAKER Set the icemaker power switch to the I position. The icemaker will not begin to operate until it reaches its operating temperature of –9°C or below. It will then begin operation automatically if the icemaker power switch is in the I position. NOTE: In lower water pressure conditions, the water valve may turn on up to 3 times to make sure enough water reaches the icemaker. Interrupter of power Installing the Water Line For Australian and New Zealand installation, read these instructions completely and carefully. Before You Begin ■IMPORTANT: Government legislation and Codes in most States and Territories of Australia require installation by a licensed plumber. The installation must conform to Australian Standard AS 3500.1 Water supply. ■Water hammer (water banging in the pipes) in house plumbing can cause damage to refrigerator parts and lead to water leakage or flooding. Call a qualified plumber to correct water hammer before installing the water supply line to the refrigerator. ■To prevent burns and refrigerator damage, do not hook up the water line to the hot water line. ■If you use your refrigerator before connecting the water line, make sure the icemaker power switch is set to the O position. ■Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas where temperatures fall below freezing. Shut Off the Main Water Supply For models fitted with an icemaker, a water supply kit (containing flexible tubing and fittings) is supplied with the refrigerator. The water pressure must be between 138 and 827 kPa on models without a water filter fitted and between 275 and 827 kPa on models with a water filter fitted. Turn Off the water and open a low tap to drain the water from the pipe. Complying with the plumbing codes, install a suitable branch fitting (not supplied) to the cold water supply. Extend the branch to a suitable location adjacent to the refrigerator when it is located in its operating position. Terminate the branch with a shutoff valve (not supplied). IMPORTANT: The shut-off valve should be accessible (such as in an adjacent cupboard, as close to the wall as possible) when the refrigerator is in its normal operating position. If your water supply pressure is higher than 690 kPa during the day (if so, it may reach higher levels at night), install a suitable Pressure limiting valve (not supplied), after the shut-off valve, making sure the “flow arrows” on the body of the device face the same direction as the water flow. If necessary, assemble a suitable fitting (not supplied) to the up-stream end of the shutoff valve (or pressure limiting valve) for attachment of the fitting supplied with the water supply kit. NOTE: PTFE tape should be used for a water tight seal when assembling all the above fittings. Do not turn the water supply On at this time. Special Installation Instructions for Australia and New Zealand. 36 Attach the fitting with the male thread supplied with the water supply kit to the shutoff valve (or pressure limiting valve, if fitted), and tighten. NOTE: PTFE tape should be used for a water tight seal when assembling all the above fittings. Route the tubing through a hole drilled in the side of the cupboard as close to the wall as possible. Make sure there is sufficient length of tubing [approximately 240 cm coiled into 3 turns of approximately 25 cm] to allow the refrigerator to move out from the wall after installation. Insert and push the end of the tubing into the fitting as far as possible. With the free end of the tubing located in a suitable container, turn the main water supply On and flush out the tubing until the water is clear. Turn Off the shutoff valve after approximately 1 litre of water has been flushed through the tubing. Connecting the Tubing to the Shutoff Valve Before making the connection to the refrigerator, be sure the power is turned OFF and the power cord is disconnected from the Power Outlet. If your refrigerator does not include a water filter, we recommend installing one in the water line near the refrigerator if your water supply has sand or particles that could clog the screen of the refrigerator’s water valve. Remove the refrigerator access cover. Remove the plastic flexible cap from the water valve (refrigerator connection). Attach the fitting with the female thread supplied with the water supply kit to the water valve and tighten. Insert and push the end of the tubing into the fitting as far as possible. Fasten the tubing into the clamp provided to hold it in position. You may need to pry open the clamp. Connecting the Tubing to the Refrigerator Installing the Water Line (cont.) Turn the water On at the shutoff valve. Tighten any connection that leaks. Replace the access cover and tighten all screws (on some models). Plug in the refrigerator to the Power Outlet and turn On. IMPORTANT: Always operate the Refrigerator from a power source of the same Voltage, Frequency and Rating as indicated on the Refrigerator Identification Plate. Operate the Refrigerator from an Earthed (Grounded) 3 Pin Power Outlet fully accessible when the refrigerator is located in its normal operating position. Arrange the coil of tubing so that it does not vibrate against the back of the refrigerator or against the wall. Push the refrigerator back to the wall, making sure the power cord and the water line tubing are not trapped, entangled or squashed by the refrigerator (including the wheels) or wall. Plug In the Refrigerator Start the Icemaker Set the icemaker power switch to the I position. The icemaker will not begin to operate until it reaches its operating temperature of –9°C or below. It will then begin operation automatically if the icemaker power switch is in the I position. NOTE: In lower water pressure conditions, the water valve may turn on up to 3 times to make sure enough water reaches the icemaker. Power switch Trim kits and decorator panels.
