If you have a cupboard above the refrigerator with a rear gap of less than 100 mm (Y), recommended minimum clearance at the top of the refrigerator increases from 30mm to 70mm (X).
Adequate ventilation around your refrigerator WHE6000, WHE6060, WQE6000 and WQE6060
The diagram below shows the recommended airspace to allow for ventilation of your refrigerator
If you have a cupboard above the refrigerator with a rear gap of less than 100 mm (Y), minimum clearance at the top of the refrigerator increases from 30mm to 70mm (X).
When positioned in a corner area, spacing of at least 300mm on the wall 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.
The clearance at the rear should not exceed 75mm.
Installing your refrigerator
1. Roll the refrigerator into place.
The rollers are designed for forward or backward movement only. They are not castors. Moving the refrigerator sideways may damage your floor and the rollers. Before moving your refrigerator ensure height adjusting nut and the stability foot are fully wound up off the floor.
2. Wind the large height adjusting nut under door hinge down until the refrigerator is tilted back by 10mm (see diagram).
3. Wind the large height adjusting nut on the handle side down until the refrigerator is level and stable. If you have difficulty winding the nut or height adjusting foot down, have someone tilt the refrigerator back so you have better access.
4. Check the alignment of the refrigerator to the surrounding cupboards to see if it is level. You can adjust the level as detailed in step 2 and 3.
5. If you find your refrigerator rocks from corner to corner, it means your floor is uneven. Find a piece of plastic or hardboard etc. and pack it firmly under the roller.
6. You may now need to fine-tune the installation by repeating steps 3, 4 and 5.
7. When you have the appliance in its final position, it needs to be stabilised. Wind the stability foot under the door hinge down to the floor until it just makes contact with the floor. Lift the front of the appliance to take the weight off the stability foot, then turn it half a turn further to ensure firm contact with the floor. Wind the large height adjusting nut back up to ensure all the weight is now on the front stability foot. Wind the large height adjusting nut back up to ensure all the weight is now on the front stability foot.
8. Repeat step 7 for the stability foot on the handle side. Whenever you need to move the appliance, be sure to wind the feet back up so that the appliance can roll freely and be sure to reset it when reinstalling.
9. Plug your refrigerator straight into its own power point and never use a double adapter. If you need to roll the refrigerator to get to the plug, remember to raise the stability foot first.
10. Before you put any food in your refrigerator, it’s recommended you leave it on for 2 or 3 hours to check it is running properly.
Fitting the handles
For models with ‘Pole’ handles, the handles are supplied prepackaged inside your refrigerator and will require fitting. Refer to the instructions provided in the pack.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed your new refrigerator
ICE AND WATER INSTALLATION
Water Filter
It should not be used on water that is micro biologically unsafe or with water of unknown quality. The service life of the filter may be reduced in water supplies that contain an excess of particles or other impurities. Reduced flow rate is an indication that a new filter is required. Failure to replace the filter when required can affect the function of the ice maker. Service calls caused by a failure to replace the filter are not covered by warranty. Replacement water filters are available from Electrolux Home Products Spare Parts Centres and can be posted to you for your convenience (refer to spare parts contact numbers on the warranty page).
Contents of installation kit
Water supply and plumbing
A drinkable water supply to suit a 1/2” 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. The water dispenser and automatic ice maker require a drinkable water supply with a pressure range of between 206kPa and 689kPa (30PSI and 100PSI). If the water supply is above 100psi a pressure limiting valve should be installed.
It is recommended that a noise reduction valve also be fitted in the water supply line. This will reduce water hammer and its effects from quick action household taps and fast acting valves on appliances.
The refrigerator water valve is pre-fitted with a push-fit connector for inserting the water tube. When the tap connection is other than 1/2”, adapters can be purchased from plumbing supply stores or good hardware stores.
Please read before beginning installation.
The water connection to your ice and water product can be self installed. However, it is recommended that you seek advice from a licensed plumber before commencing the installation.
IMPORTANT
Check for water leaks at all water connection points in the first 2 to 3 hours after installation, and correct it in case of any water leak. Recheck after 24 hours; if leak still occurs, it is recommended to contact a licensed plumber for advice.
Water is to be connected as per diagram below.
Step 1.
Ensure that the refrigerator is disconnected from power supply.
Step 2.
Connect tap fitting to water supply tap. Tap must be close to the refrigerator.
Step 3.
Push the tube into tap fitting past insertion mark.
Step 4.
Connect other end of tube to inlet on rear of refrigerator.
Step 5.
Turn on water and check all joints and tubes for leaks.
Step 6.
Reconnect the power.
Step 7.
Move the refrigerator back into place being careful not to kink or split the tubing.
Step 8.
Switch ON Water Dispenser. By referring to Ice&Water on/off function on page no.21
Using a large container, run the water dispenser to clear air from lines. This may take a few minutes. Purge and dispense a minimum of 2 litres of water. Initial water may be black in colour. This is residual carbon dust from the filter and is non-toxic. If the water is slow to shut off or the dispenser is dripping, air may still be in the lines. Either purge more water through the system to remove this air or allow some time for the air to be removed over subsequent dispensing. For normal use, water dispenser will automatically shut off after 2 minutes of continuous operation.
IMPORTANT
As the water cut off is not instant, leave glass under dispenser briefly until water has stopped flowing to avoid spills.
Clean and empty the dispenser drip tray regularly to avoid overflow.
If you have not used the dispenser for some time, discard the first seven or eight cups of water (contaminants could have settled in the water pipes).
Step 9
Switch ON Ice Maker.
Once the refrigerator has been running for at least 24 hours remove the ice bin and dispose of the first few batches of ice to ensure that impurities have been flushed from the system.
CAUTION
Water dispenser should not be used for extended periods of time. After 2 minutes of continuous use the water dispenser will automatically shut off.
Party Ice
When the Ice Bin is removed from the cabinet the Auto Ice Maker will continue to dispense ice into the top freezer drawer
Water filter
The water filter is located at the top left side of the fresh food compartment.
Replacing the water filter
You should change the water filter every six months to ensure the highest possible water quality.
If your refrigerator has not been used for a period of time (during a house move for example), change the filter before reinstalling the refrigerator.
It is not necessary to turn the water supply off to change the filter. Be ready to wipe up any small amounts of water released during the filter replacement.
Ensure that the ice maker is turned off (Diagram 1).
Remove the filter by turning anti-clockwise 180˚.
Slide the old water filter cartridge straight out of the housing and discard it. (Diagram 2).
Unwrap the new filter cartridge and using the alignment guide, slide it gently into filter housing until it stops against the filter connection at the back of the housing. (Diagram 3).
Engage the filter by firmly rotating clockwise until the filter snaps into position (once engaged the filter cannot be rotated further). (Diagram 4).
Press a drinking glass against the water dispenser while checking for any leaks at the filter housing. Any spurts and sputters that occur as the system purges air out of the dispenser system are normal.
After filling one glass of water, continue flushing the system for about four minutes.
Turn on the ice maker. (Diagram 5).
When the filter has been replaced press and hold the ‘Ice and Water’ button for three seconds to reset the filter replace timer
USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
Refrigerators work by transferring heat from the food inside to the outside air. This operation makes the back and sides of the refrigerator feel warm or even hot particularly at start-up and on warm days – this is normal.
Avoid placing food against the air vents in the refrigerator as it affects efficient circulation. If the door is opened frequently, a light frosting will occasionally occur on the freezer’s interior. This is normal and will clear after a few days. If the freezer door is accidentally kept open, a heavy frost will coat the inside walls and should be removed.
Your new refrigerator uses a high-speed compressor, along with other energy-efficient components, which may make unusual sounds and be more noticeable at night and quieter times. These sounds simply indicate your refrigerator is working how it should. They include:
Compressor running noises;
Air movement noise from the small fan motor;
A gurgling sound, similar to water boiling;
A popping noise, heard during automatic defrosting; and
A clicking noise, prior to compressor start-up.
Further details can be found in the Troubleshooting Guide.
IMPORTANT
For top mount refrigerators (where the freezer is on top of the fresh food compartment).
Don’t place food forward of the ribs on the freezer floor, as it will keep the door open.
For bottom mount refrigerators (where freezer is below the fresh food compartment):
Ensure all freezer drawers and shelves are pushed back completely to prevent them from keeping the door open.
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.

Appliance noise
Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old one didn't make. Because the sounds are new to you, you might be concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces, like the floor, walls and cabinets, can make the sounds seem louder than they actually are. The following describes the kinds of sounds and what may be making them.
CONCERN
WHAT TO DO
Motor noise (compressor)
Nothing. This is normal as your new refrigerator uses a high-speed compressor which switches on and off during operation.
Note
that the compressor noise may seem louder at the start of the on cycle.
These refrigerators are fitted with a variable speed compressor and fan. At start up and on warm days they run at a higher speed to provide additional cooling. When less cooling is required the compressor and fan will run at a lower speed. As a result it is normal for sound levels to change depending on operating conditions.
A clicking noise heard just before the

Ensure that the household circuit breaker has not tripped or that the fuse has not blown.
The appliance maybe in defrost mode, check again in half an hour.
Compressor motor seems to run too long
At normal room temperatures, expect your motor to run about 40% to 80% of the time. Under warmer conditions, expect it to run more often.
Ensure that the doors are not held open
Check that large amounts of warm food have not just been placed inside the appliance.
Note that the appliance will run more than normal just after you install it or when adjusting the temperature setting changes.
Compressor motor seems to run too long for WTB4600, WTB4604, WTB5400, WTB5404, WBE4500, WBE4504, WBE5300, WBE5304, WRB5004, WFB4204, WHE5204, WHE5264, WQE6060, WQE6000, WHE6060, WHE6000only These appliances use a variable speed compressor, which by design can run for long periods of time, this is normal
The variable speed compressor and fan that at start up and on warm days, runs at high speeds to provide additional cooling. When less cooling is required the compressor and fan will run at a lower speed, but still may not switch off. This is normal.
It is possible that the only time the compressor and fan will stop is when the refrigerator is defrosting which is approximately once per day.
The exterior of the appliance is warm or hot to touch
This is normal because the appliance transfers heat from the inside out through the outer panels and the divider between the doors.
Ensure the appliance has the external clearances recommended in the section "Installing your new appliance”.
