INSTALLATION

INSTALLING YOUR NEW APPLIANCE

Unpacking

ENVIRONMENT

Most of the packing materials are recyclable. Please dispose of those materials through your local recycling depot or by placing them in appropriate collection containers.

Important – check for any damages or marks. If you find the refrigerator is damaged or marked, you must report it within 7 days should you wish to claim for damage/marks under the manufacturers warranty. This does not affect your statutory rights.

Clean your refrigerator thoroughly following the instructions in the “Cleaning” section and wipe off any dust that has accumulated during shipping.

Locating the refrigerator

CAUTION

Automatic aerosol systems (such as insect control) should not be located adjacent to the product as the spray may cause long term damage to the external plastics of the appliance.

Do not put the refrigerator in a location that is too cold or is unprotected, for example in a garage or on a veranda. The ambient temperature should be above 10°C.

Put the refrigerator in a dry place avoiding areas of high moisture or humidity.

Ensure the refrigerator is located on an even surface.

Adequate ventilation around your refrigerator

The diagram below shows the recommended airspace to allow for ventilation of your refrigerator.

When positioned in a corner area, spacing of right side at least 260 mm and left side at least 355 mm on the hinge side will allow the doors to open enough to enable the removal of bins and shelves.

Note: Doors are designed to sit proud of cabinetry (not flush). The clearances shown above are the recommended minimum clearances.

Installing your refrigerator

Allow the following clearances for ease of installation, proper air circulation, and plumbing and electrical connections:

Note: If your refrigerator is placed with the door hinge side against a wall, you may have to allow additional space so the door can be opened wider.

Door opening

Your refrigerator should be positioned to allow easy access to a counter when removing food. For best use of refrigerator drawers and freezer baskets, the refrigerator should be in a position where both can be fully opened.

CAUTION

LED lighting

Your appliance is fitted with long life LED lighting. In the unlikely event the LED lights should fail, then the LED lights should be serviced by the service agent, to avoid a safety hazard. Refer to the warranty page for contact details.

Cabinet Leveling & Refrigerator Door Alignment (if necessary)

Guidelines for final positioning of your refrigerator:

• All four corners of the cabinet must rest firmly on the floor.
• The front should be slightly elevated to ensure that doors close and seal properly.
• Doors should align with each other and be level.

Most of these conditions can be met by raising or lowering the adjustable front rollers.

To level the cabinet using the front rollers:

1. Slightly open freezer drawer if the toe grill is installed. Lift the toe grille and gently pull forward.
2. Make initial cabinet adjustments by using the front roller height adjusting screws. Use a 3/8 inch socket wrench to turn the adjustment screws (1 per side). To raise: turn adjustment screw clockwise. To lower: turn adjustment screw counter clockwise.
3. Ensure both doors are bind-free with their seals touching the cabinet on all four sides and that cabinet is stable.
4. After unit is leveled, lower anti-tip leg using a 3/8 inch socket wrench until it firmly contacts the floor.

To make final door height adjustments:

1. Open freezer drawer to make lower hinge visible.
2. Insert 6mm Allen wrench into the shaft of the lower hinge.
3. Adjust the height by turning clockwise or counterclockwise. Turning clockwise will lower the door. Turning counterclockwise will raise the door. Default setting is to the lowest height when you receive your appliance.

Flipper Mullion

Adjust Flipper Mullion for proper connection with the mullion guide by ensuring the flipper mullion is folded and perpendicular to the fresh food door. If the mullion guide is not in the correct position, it could prevent the door from closing completely.

INSTALLING DOOR HANDLES

CAUTION

Wear gloves and safety goggles. Use extreme CAUTION when installing these handles

Door Handle Mounting Instructions

1. Remove handles from carton and any other protective packaging.

2. Position refrigerator handle end caps over upper and lower pre-installed shoulder bolts (A) that are fastened into door, ensuring the holes for the set screws are facing towards the opposite door.

3. While holding handle firmly against door, fasten upper and lower Allen set screws (B) with supplied Allen wrench.

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to install opposite handle. Ensure the holes for the set screws are facing towards the first door.

5. Position freezer/FlexSpaceTM Convertible Drawer handle end caps over left and right preinstalled shoulder bolts (A) that are fastened to the door, ensuring the holes for the set screws are facing down.

6. While holding handle firmly against door, loosely tighten right Allen set screw (B) with supplied Allen wrench until there is no gap between handle and door.

7. Still holding the handle firmly to the door, firmly tighten left Allen set screw (B) with supplied Allen wrench.

8. Return to the right Allen set screw (B) and firmly tighten with supplied Allen wrench.

Note: All set screws should be tightened so the screw is below the surface of the handle. The handles should be drawn tight to doors/drawer with no gaps. Opening the opposite door while tightening the Allen screw makes installation easier.

The door handle may loosen over time or if it was incorrectly installed. If this happens, tighten the set screws on the handles.

CONNECTING THE WATER SUPPLY

WARNING

To avoid electric shock, which can cause death or severe personal injury, disconnect the refrigerator from electrical power before connecting a water supply line to the refrigerato

WARNING

To Avoid Property Damage:

• DO NOT install water supply tubing in areas where temperatures fall below freezing.
• Chemicals from a malfunctioning water softener can damage the ice maker. If your home has a water softening system, ensure the softener is maintained and working properly.

IMPORTANT Ensure that your water supply line connections comply with all local plumbing codes.

Before Installing the Water Supply Line, You Will Need:

• Basic Tools: adjustable wrench, flat-blade screwdriver, and PhillipsTM screwdriver
• The water dispenser and automatic ice maker require a drinkable water supply with a pressure range of between 206kPa and 689kPa (30PSI and 100PSI).
• A water supply to suit a ½” tap fitting is required adjacent to the refrigerator. It is recommended that a licensed plumber install a new water supply outlet nearer to the appliance should the tubing supplied not be long enough. It is not recommended that the tubing be extended as this could adversely affect the flow of water to the ice maker or water dispenser.

WARNING

Connect to potable water supply only. If using tank or bore water it is recommended to also use an external filter (not supplied).

The new hose-sets supplied with the appliances must be used and old hose-sets should not be reused.

WARNING

Never connect the appliance to a hot water supply.

Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or with water of unknown quality without adequate disinfection.

To Connect Water Supply Line to Ice Maker Inlet Valve

Installation kit supplied with Refrigerator:

A - Adapter ½ to ¼ inch to connect the water supply outlet to the water supply line.

B - Water supply line ¼ inch with 3 meters in length.

C - ¼ inch connector to connect the water supply line to the refrigerator tube.

AUTOMATIC ICE & WATER DISPENSER

Using the ice maker after installation

Before making ice for the first time, be sure to prime the water supply system. Air in new plumbing lines can result in two or three empty ice maker cycles. Furthermore, if the system is not flushed, the first ice cubes may be discolored or have an odd flavor.

Priming the water supply system

CAUTION

For proper dispenser operation, recommended water supply pressure should fall between 30 psi and 100 psi. Excessive pressure may cause the system to malfunction.

1. Begin filling the system by pressing and holding a drinking glass against the dispenser.

2.Keep the glass in this position until water comes out of the dispenser. It may take about 1½ minutes.

3.Continue dispensing water for about four minutes to flush the system and plumbing connections of any impurities (stopping to empty the glass as necessary)

Note: The water dispenser has a built-in device that shuts off the water flow after three minutes of continuous use. To reset this shut-off device, simply release the dispenser paddle.

Only the first 26 ounces (750 ml) of dispensed water is chilled.

Ice maker operation & care

After the refrigerator is installed properly and has cooled for several hours, the ice maker can produce ice within 24 hours. The ice maker will fill the ice bin from the rear. You must dispense some ice to force the ice forward in the bin. This will allow the bin to fill completely.

Ice Maker and Storage Bin Capacity

This ice maker should produce 2.5 to 3 pounds of ice per 24 hours. The ice bin will hold about 4 pounds of ice.

Turning the ice maker on and off

IMPORTANT Your ice maker is turned on at the factory so it can work as soon as you install your refrigerator. If you cannot connect a water supply, set the ice maker’s On/Off feature to Off; otherwise, the ice maker’s fill valve may make a loud chattering noise when it attempts to operate without water.

Ice production is controlled by the ice maker’s On/Off feature on the control panel. Pressing the On/Off feature turns the ice maker on & off

Note: The ice maker also has a built-in plastic signal arm that automatically stops ice production when the ice bin is full. This signal arm should not be used to manually stop the ice maker

On occasion, unusually small ice cubes may be noticed in the bucket or in dispensed ice. This could occur in normal operation of the ice maker. If you start seeing these more frequently, it may be an indication of low water pressure, or that the water filter needs to be replaced. As the water filter nears the end of its useful life and becomes clogged with particles, less water is delivered to the ice maker during each cycle. Remember, if it has been six months or longer since you last changed your water filter, replace the water filter with a new one. Poor quality household water may require the filter to be changed more frequently.

Ice maker/dispenser tips

• If your refrigerator is not connected to a water supply or the water supply is turned off, turn off the ice maker as described in the previous section.
• The following sounds are normal when the ice maker is operating:
  • Motor running
  • Ice dropping into ice bin
  • Water valve opening or closing
  • Running water
• If you need a large quantity of ice at one time, it is best to get cubes directly from the ice bin.
• Ice cubes stored too long may develop an odd flavor. Empty the ice bin as explained below.
• When dispensing cubed ice, it is normal to have a small quantity of little pieces along with the whole cubes. To avoid splashing, dispense ice into your container before adding liquids.
• It is normal for ice to fill to the top of the ice bin.

CAUTION If the water supply to your refrigerator is softened, be sure the softener is properly maintained. Chemicals from a water softener can damage the ice maker.

Cleaning the ice maker

Clean the ice maker and ice bin at regular intervals, especially prior to vacation or moving.

1. Turn off the icemaker.

2. Remove the ice bin by pulling straight out.

3. Empty and carefully clean the ice bin with mild detergent. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners. Do not place in dishwasher. Rinse with clear water.

4. Allow the ice bin to dry completely before placing it back into the freezer.

5. Place ice bin back into position. Turn the ice maker on.

Remove and empty the ice bin if:

• An extended power failure (one hour or longer) causes ice cubes in the ice bin to melt and refreeze together after power is restored, jamming the dispenser mechanism.
• You do not use the ice dispenser frequently. Ice cubes will freeze together in the bin, jamming the dispenser mechanism.

Remove the ice bin and shake to loosen the cubes or clean as explained above.

CAUTION

NEVER use an ice pick or similar sharp instrument to break up the ice. This could damage the ice bin and dispenser mechanism.

To loosen stuck ice, use warm water. Before replacing the ice bin, make sure it is completely dry

IMPORTANT

When removing or replacing the ice bin, avoid rotating the auger in the ice bin. If the auger is accidentally rotated, you must realign the auger by turning it in 45 degree turns (see below) until the ice bin fits into place with the drive mechanism. If the auger is not properly aligned when replacing the ice bin, the refrigerator will not dispense ice. The fresh food door also may not close properly causing warm air to leak into the fresh food compartment

FRUIT & VEGETABLES

Every fruit and vegetable has a different shelf life. Some stay fresh for a couple of days e.g. beans, others can last for a couple of months e.g. onions.

Ultra Chill: Not Suitable

Freezer: 8-12 Months When freezing chop and blanch in small portions.

→ Storage Tips:

Keep vegetables in the crisper and away from the air vents to avoid freezing.

If you wash fruit and vegetables before storing them make sure they are dry or wrap in absorbent paper before storing in the refrigerator as this can make them susceptible to rotting.

Try to keep fruit and vegetables separated as fruits that give off high levels of ethylene (the ripening agent) can prematurely ripen and spoil surrounding vegetables

IMPORTANT * Please note, use this information as a guide only, actual storage times will vary depending on how you use your refrigerator.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Automatic Ice Maker

Ice maker is not making any ice.

• Potential Cause:
  • Ice maker is turned off.
  • Refrigerator is not connected to water line or water valve is not open.
  • The water supply line is kinked.
  • The water filter is not seated properly.
  • The water filter may be clogged with foreign material.
• Common Solution:
  • Turn on ice maker. For the fresh food ice maker, press ice maker on-off button once.
  • Connect the unit to the household water supply and ensure the water valve is open.
  • Ensure that the supply line does not kink when the refrigerator is pushed into place against the wall.
  • Remove and re-install the water filter. Be sure to seat it fully into the locked position.
  • If water dispenses slowly or not at all, or if the filter is six months old or older, it should be replaced.

Ice maker is not making enough ice.

• Potential Cause:
  • Ice maker is producing less ice than you expect.
  • The water filter may be clogged with foreign material.
  • The water supply line is kinked.
  • Water pressure is extremely low. Cutoff and cut-on pressures are too low (well systems only).
  • Reverse osmosis system is in regenerative phase.

• Common Solution:
  • The ice maker will produce approximately 2.3 pounds of ice every 24 hours depending on usage conditions.
  • If water dispenses slower than normal, or if the filter is six months old or older, it should be replaced.
  • Ensure that the supply line does not kink when the refrigerator is pushed into place against the wall.
  • Have someone turn up the cut-off and cut-on pressure on the water pump system (well systems only).
  • It is normal for a reverse osmosis system to be below 20 psi during the regenerative phase.

Ice cubes are freezing together.

• Potential Cause:
  • Ice cubes are not being used frequently enough or interruption of power for prolonged time.
  • Ice cubes are hollow (shells of ice with water inside). The hollow cubes break open in the bin and leak their water onto existing ice, which causes it to freeze together.
• Common Solution:
  • Remove ice container and discard ice. The ice maker will produce fresh supply. Ice should be used at least twice weekly to keep the cubes separated.
  • This generally occurs when the ice maker does not get enough water. This is usually the result of a clogged water filter or restricted water supply. Replace the water filter and if the condition still occurs, check to see if the water valve is not turned on all the way or if there is a kinked water supply line.

Dispenser (Ice & Water)

Dispenser (Ice & water) not dispensing ice.

• Potential Cause:
  • There is no ice in the bin to be dispensed.
  • The refrigerator doors are not completely closed.
  • Dispenser paddle has been pressed too long and the dispenser motor has overheated
• Common Solution:
  • See the “Ice maker is not making any ice” section.
  • Be sure the refrigerator doors are completely closed.
  • The motor overload protector will reset in about three minutes and then ice can be dispensed

Ice dispenser is jammed.

• Potential Cause:
  • Ice has melted and frozen around auger due to infrequent use, temperature fluctuations, and/or power outages.
  • Ice cubes are jammed between ice maker and back of ice container.
• Common Solution:
  • Remove ice container, thaw, and empty the contents. Clean container, wipe dry, and replace in proper position. When new ice is made, dispenser should operate.
  • Remove ice cubes that are jamming the dispenser.

Dispenser (Ice & water) not dispensing water

• Potential Cause:
  • Water filter not seated properly.
  • Water filter is clogged.
  • Household water line valve is not open
• Common Solution:
  • Remove and reinstall the water filter. Be sure to rotate it to the right until it stops and the grip end is vertical.
  • Replace filter cartridge. Be sure to rotate it to the right until it stops and the grip end is vertical.
  • Open household water line valve. See CONCERN column AUTOMATIC ICE MAKER.

Water not cold enough.

• Potential Cause:
  • As warmer tap water goes through the filter and enters the water supply system, the chilled water is pushed through to the dispenser. Once the chilled water is used up, it will take several hours to bring the freshly replaced water to a cooler temperature
• Common Solution:
  • Add ice to cup or container before dispensing water.

Water has an odd taste and/or odor

• Potential Cause:
  • Water has not been dispensed for an extended period of time.
  • Unit not properly connected to cold water line.
• Common Solution:
  • Draw and discard 10-12 glasses of water to freshen the supply.
  • Connect unit to cold water line that supplies water to the kitchen faucet

Opening/Closing Of Doors/Drawer

Door(s) will not close.

• Potential Cause:
  • Door was closed too hard, causing other door to open slightly.
  • Refrigerator is not level. It rocks on the floor when moved slightly.
  • Refrigerator is touching a wall or cabinet.
  • Check gasket and cabinet interface for any obstructions.
• Common Solution:
  • Close both doors gently.
  • Ensure floor is level and solid, and can adequately support the refrigerator. Contact a carpenter to correct a sagging or sloping floor.
  • Ensure floor is level and solid, and can adequately support the refrigerator. Contact a carpenter to correct a sagging or sloping floor.

Drawers are difficult to move

• Potential Cause:
  • Food is touching shelf on top of drawer.
  • Track that drawers slide on is dirty.
• Common Solution:
  • Remove top layer of items in drawer.
  • Ensure drawer is properly installed on track.
  • Clean drawer, rollers, and track. See Care & Cleaning.

Running of Refrigerator

Compressor does not run.

• Potential Cause:
  • Refrigerator is in defrost cycle.
  • Plug at electrical outlet is disconnected.
  • House fuse blown or tripped circuit breaker.
  • Power outage.
• Common Solution:
  • This is normal for a fully automatic defrost refrigerator. The defrost cycle occurs periodically, lasting about 30 minutes.
  • Ensure plug is tightly pushed into outlet.
  • Check/replace fuse with a 15 amp time-delay fuse. Reset circuit breaker.
  • Check house lights. Call local electric company.

Refrigerator seems to run too much or too long.

• Potential Cause:
  • Your variable speed compressor is designed to run 100% of the time except during the defrost cycle. At times it will run faster, such as after a defrost cycle.
• Common Solution:
  • It is normal for the compressor to run continuously except during defrost mode.

Digital Temperature Setting Display

Digital temperature displays an error.

• Potential Cause:
  • Electronic control system has detected a performance problem.
• Common Solution:
  • Call your Electrolux service representative, who can interpret any messages or number codes flashing on the digital displays.

Water collects in bottom of drawer.

• Potential Cause:
  • Washed vegetables and fruit drain while in the drawer
• Common Solution:
  • Dry items before putting them in the drawer. Water collecting in bottom of drawer is normal

Water/Moisture/Frost Outside Refrigerator

Moisture collects on outside of refrigerator or between doors.

• Potential Cause:
  • Weather is humid.
• Common Solution:
  • This is normal in humid weather. When humidity is lower, the moisture should disappear.

Food in Fresh Food Compartment

Food is freezing.

• Potential Cause:
  • Temperature setting is too low.
  • Temperature sensor is covered by food (right side of fresh food area).
  • Food is covering the air ports.
