Side by side without water connection
Side by Side, these large American fridges can be operated with or without a water connection. Some side-by-side models even have a tank and offer the full convenience of the "ice machine" without having to lay a water pipe.
What you need:
- device
- Power connection
- Spirit level
Set up side by side
Of the refrigerator is easy to connect - always follow the operating instructions that come with the device.
- Like any refrigerator, it should only be connected if no bubbles are to be expected in the coolant. After a transport in which the refrigerator has been tilted, it should stand upright for at least 2 hours before it is connected to the electricity.
- The side by side should definitely be on a horizontal surface. Place a spirit level on the device and level out unevenness in the floor with wedges or adjust the feet of the device, if such a function is available.
- Lay the water connection and connect it to the refrigerator. Remember that it is a pressure line and always use a connection with a water stop.

- You can also operate each side by side without a water connection if you do without the ice cube, ice crusher and ice water functions. With some models this function can be switched off, with others it is switched off via a circuit breaker because the pump detects that no water is being added. With a few models, unfortunately, an annoying alarm tone sounds in this case, which makes continuous operation of the side-by-side without a water connection impossible.
- If you want to operate a Side by Side permanently without a water connection, it makes sense to use a device with a water tank. This offers all functions and works without the hose connection. With these devices you only need a power socket.
