Push shorter tube into tap
fitting past insertion mark.
Step 9.
Push other end into filter INLET.
Step 10.
Connect remaining tube length
into filter OUTLET. Water filter
contains carbon dust which
is non-toxic. Using a large
container, turn on water and
purge the residual carbon dust
from filter until water runs
clear.
Step 11.
Connect other end of
remaining tube length to inlet
on bottom right hand side of
refrigerator.
Step 12.
Turn on water and check all
joints and tubes for leaks.
Step 13.
Reconnect the power.
Step 14.
Switch On Water Dispenser (except model EFE4227.)
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 the glass under
the dispenser briefly until the 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 15.
Switch ON Ice Maker. (except model ERE5047.)
Refer to Controlling section
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.
Party Ice (except model EFE4227)
When the Ice Bin is removed from the cabinet the
Auto Ice Maker will continue to dispense ice into the top
freezer drawer.
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.

CHANGING THE WATER FILTER
IMPORTANT
• Always fit the filter as per
manufacturer’s instructions.
• If you need to replace water tube, only use
approved water quality piping that meets the
pressure requirements.
• Make sure your refrigerator is level to avoid
uneven ice cubes.
• Replace filter at suggested intervals to avoid
water/ice reduction and irregularities in taste.
• Remove and clean ice bin once a month,
discarding unused ice cubes. This will ensure fresh,
clean ice and smooth operation of your ice maker.
• Clean and empty the dispenser drip tray regularly
to avoid overflow.
WARNING
If you have not used the dispenser for some time,
discard the first seven or eight cups of water and any
ice that the ice maker produces in the first 24 hours
(contaminants could have settled in the water pipes).
Internal 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.
1. Ensure that the ice maker is turned off (Diagram 1).
2. Remove the filter by turning anti-clockwise 180˚.
3. Slide the old water filter cartridge straight out of the
housing and
discard it. (Diagram 2).
4. 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).
5. Engage the filter by firmly rotating clockwise until
the filter snaps into position (once engaged the filter
cannot be rotated further). (Diagram 4).

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.
Ribs
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.

ABOUT THE USER INTERFACE
The following pages explain the various functions of the
user interface to help you better understand how to get
the most out of your new refrigerator.
IMPORTANT
NOTE: When you set a temperature, you set an average
temperature for the whole refrigerator cabinet. Ensuring
that you make only small adjustments and wait at least
24 hours to see if the new temperature is correct to your
liking.
Checking the softness of ice cream is a good indication
that your freezer is the right temperature, while checking
the temperature of water kept in the refrigerator is a
good way of checking the temperature of the food
compartment.
Temperatures inside each compartment may vary,
depending on how much food you store and where you
place it.
High or low room temperature may also affect the
actual temperature inside the refrigerator.

8-12 Months
When freezing
chop and blanch in
small portions.
Keep vegetables in the crisper and
away from the air vents to avoid

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

TROUBLESHOOTING
Appliance does not operate at
desired temperature
In a modern frost free refrigerator / freezer, cold air is circulated around the various compartments through air vents
using a high efficiency fan.
Concern What to do
Refrigerator is too warm. Ensure food is allowed to cool before placing inside the refrigerator.
Ensure the appliance is set up as per instructions on page 11.
Ensure that contents are not obstructing the cooling vents.
Ensure the door is not held open or is being opened too frequently.
Freezer is too warm. Adjust temperature to a colder setting.
Ensure food is allowed to cool before placing inside the freezer.
Ensure the appliance is set up as per instructions on page 11.
Ensure that contents are not obstructing the cooling vents.
Ensure the door is not held open or is being opened too frequently.
Food is freezing in the
refrig
erator.
Adjust temperature to a warmer setting.
Ensure that fruit and vegetables are stored in the crisper. Items with a high water content
should not be placed near the cooling vents.
Unable to change temperature
settings.
Refer to function guide in Controlling Your Refrigerator.
Ensure that user interface is in "awake" mode before trying to adjust temperature settings.
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 variable speed compressor and fan that
at start up and on warm days runs at a high speed to provide additional cooling.
When less cooling is required the compressor and fan will run at a lower speed Note that
the compressor noise may seem louder at the start of the on cycle.
A clicking noise heard just before the
compressor starts.
Nothing. This is normal as your new refrigerator has an automatic switching action of the
temperature control,
turning the compressor on and off.
Occasional gurgling, similar to
wa
ter boiling.
Nothing. As each refrigeration cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant
flowing in your refrigerator system.
Airflow noise.
Nothing, this is normal as your new refrigerator uses high efficiency fans to circulate air. Fan speed
and noise may increase during periods of heavy usage or hot weather.
Rattling and other noises.
Ensure that the cabinet is level and stable, refer to Installation Instructions on page 11.
Check the surrounds of the appliance to ensure there is nothing touching or placed on top of
the appliance.
Ensure that contents of the appliance are not placed in such a way that they are vibrating
(such as bottles).
Crisper Operation
Concern What to do
Excess moisture build up in crisper.
It is
normal for there to be some moisture
and hu
midity in the crisper bin.
Ensure that the crisper is not over packed.
Adjust crisper humidity slides.
C
r
isper bin can not be removed.
Position cabinet so that the door can be fully opened.
Freezing items in the crisper. Adjust temperature to a warmer setting.
GENERAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
If crisper bin interferes with the door bins, remove door bins before removing crisper.

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 even more often.
The variable speed compressor
and fan that at start up and on
warm days runs at a high speed
to provide additional cooling.
When less cooling is required the
compressor and fan will run at a
lower speed.
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
to temperature setting changes.
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
”.
The exterior of the cabinet will be much warmer on warmer days it may even feel hot to touch, as
the appliance is working harder.

tomatically if the door is
left opened for more than 5
minutes and turn off completely
