Important safety instructions 3
Warning: Risk of fire / flammable materials
Installing your refrigerator
The appliance should arrive with the stability foot wound fully
up so it will not interfere with the operation of the rollers (see
diagram in Step 3 below).
caution
The rollers are designed for forward or backward
movement only. They are not castors. Moving the
refrigerator sideways may damage your fl oor and
the rollers.
1
. Roll the refrigerator into its fi nal position.
2. The top of the refrigerator should be tilted back by
approximately 20mm. This will allow the doors to
self-close providing a consistent door seal and stability
when the doors are open.
3. When you have the appliance in its fi nal position,
it needs to be stabilized Wind the stability foot down
to the fl oor until it just makes contact with the fl oor.
Whenever you need to move the appliance, be sure
to wind the foot back up so that the appliance can roll
freely and be sure to reset it when reinstalling.
( The wrench opening size 30mm )
4. Check the alignment of the refrigerator to the surrounding
cupboards.
The top of the refrigerator should be on the
same level from side to side (see diagram below).
I f you need to adjust the level, use the adjustable rollers
as discussed in Step 3.
Installing your new refrigerator
Clearance around your refrigerator
Your Side by Side Refrigerator can be installed between
cupboards or fi xtures
but you must consider the following
spaces around the cabinet:
1. Allow a minimum of 10mm clearance on both sides.
2. Allow 30mm clearance at the back of the refrigerator.
3. Allow 10mm clearance above the hinge covers.
4. Allow a 349 or 427mm clearance on the hinge side of the
doors, if you place the refrigerator next to the wall. This
will make cleaning easier.
5. Make sure that cupboards or fi xtures do not stick out
further than the refrigerator cabinet.
Note: Refrigerator doors on all models are designed to sit
proud of cabinetry (not fl ush).

remove this fi lm as needed.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed your
new refrigerator.
caution
caution
Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure
or in the built-in structure clear of obstruction.
Refrigerator Operation
The refrigerator transfers heat from food placed inside the
appliance to the outside air.
This process makes the rear, the sides and the area
adjacent to the doors, particularly at initial start up, feel
warm to hot, this is normal.
There is a cooling coil located behind the rear wall of the
cabinet. This coil cools and removes moisture from the air.
A fan then circulates cold, dry air throughout the cabinet.
This air circulation means that food are refrigerated far
more quickly than in refrigerators where the air remains
relatively static.
Avoid placing food against air outlets as this will aff ect
air circulation.
A light frosting will occasionally occur on the cold interior
of the freezer when the door is opened frequently. This
is normal and will disappear after a few days in most
climates.
Make sure you fully close the freezer door after you load or
remove food. If the door is left partly open, a heavy frost will
coat the inside of the freezer . If a frost develops, remove it.
Ensure to properly close the door, so the frost will not reoccur.
Your new energy effi cient appliance uses a high-speed
compressor and other energy effi cient components that may
produce diff erent noises to your old appliance.
These sounds are normal and includes:
•compressor running noise.
•air movement noise from the small fan motor.
•occasional gurgling, similar to water boiling.
•a popping noise, heard during automatic defrosting.
•a clicking noise, just prior to the compressor starting up.
These noises are normal and will not cause the unit to alarm.

Cleaning your refrigerator Energy consumption
The following guide will help you reduce the running cost
of your new refrigerator. This will save you money and help
conserve our valuable energy resources.
1. Do not block air vents. Doing so may cause the
refrigerator to run longer and use more energy.
2. Do not set your freezer temperature too low. After 24 hours,
ice cream should be fi rm but able to be scooped out
with a spoon without bending the handle. If ice cream is
fi rmer than this (or too soft), adjust the freezer temperature
controls (see ‘Set Temperature’, page 7).
3. Ensure that the refrigerator doors seal properly as
you close them.
4. Before you open the refrigerator doors, decide what you
want to put in or take out. This will minimize the time you
have the doors open.
5. It is best to have the refrigerator in a place that is out of
direct
sunlight and away from heating appliances of any
kind. For e
xample, do not place the refrigerator next to a
cooker, st
ove or dishwasher.
6. Allow hot foods to cool to room temperature
before you put them in your freezer.
7. Thaw frozen foods in the refrigerator section.
8. If you keep the freezer compartment fi lled to
capacity, your food mass will help maintain the
freezer temperature when you open the door.
Turning off the refrigerator
If you are leaving for a short holiday, there is no need
to turn off your refrigerator .
If you are going on a long holiday and want to turn the

14 Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
If you think something may be wrong with your refrigerator, you can carry out some easy checks before calling
for service. You may locate the problem, sparing yourself from inconvenience and saving time and money.
Problem Solution
When your appliance is
not operating
•Make sure that the power cord is plugged into the power outlet properly and that the outlet
is switched ‘ON’.
• Try running another appliance from the power outlet. If no power is coming from the outlet
you may have blown a fuse or tripped a circuit of your household power supply.
• Try adjusting the temperature control to a slightly “colder” position.
• It is normal for the freezer fan NOT to operate during the automatic defrost cycle, or for a short time after the
appliance is switched on.
When there
is refrigerator/
freezer noise
Modern refrigerators/freezers with increased storage capacity use high speed compressors. These can provide a
seemingly high level of sound which is quite normal. Normal operational sounds include:
• Occasional gurgling, similar to water boiling.
• Air fl ow noise (air circulates because of a small fan).
• A popping noise heard during automatic defrost.
Other strange sounds may mean that you need to check and take action. For example, noises may mean that:
• The cabinet is not level.
• The fl oor is uneven or weak.
• Bottles are badly placed and rattling.
• There are vibrations from an object on top of or behind or beside the refrigerator.
• The back of the refrigerator cabinet is touching the wall.
Remember it is quite normal for noise to seem louder when the refrigerator starts operating, or during quieter
periods such as night time.
If there are
odours inside
the appliance
• The interior may need cleaning.
• Some food produce odours.
• Some containers and wrapping can cause odours.
• Ask yourself if the odour started about the same time you started storing something unusual.
When the motor seems
to run more than
expected
Your new appliance provides you with large capacities in both the refrigerator section and the
separate freezer. It is normal for the motor to operate frequently. However, to keep operation to
a minimum, check the following:
• Are doors kept open too long or too often?
• Are controls set too cold? refer to “Using the control panel” for how to adjust.
• Have large amounts of warm food just recently been stored? Summer, festive seasons and holidays usually
mean a lot more work for your appliance.
• If the day is hot or the room is very warm, the appliance will need to run more than normal.
• The appliance will run more than normal just after you install it or when it has been turned off for a long time.
If the temperature in
the refrigerator is too
cold
• Refer to “Using the control panel” for how to adjust.
• Increase the temperature to avoid high energy consumption.
If heavy frosting occurs
in the freezer
Make sure you fully close the freezer and fridge doors. If the doors are left partly open a heavy frost will coat
the inside of the freezer. If a frost develops, remove it. Make sure properly close the doors and
the frost will not
reoccur.
If water drips
on the fl oor
The defrost water tray, (located at the back of the cabinet), may not be properly positioned, or the drain tube
may not be properly positioned to direct water into this tray. You may need to pull the refrigerator away from the
wall to check the tray and tube.
Freezer Door opens
after closing fridge
door
It is normal for the freezer door to momentarily open and re-close when the food compartment door is closed. If
the freezer door stays open, it indicates that the refrigerator cabinet needs to be tilted backwards a little further.
If you call a service person to solve this problem, you will be charged for the cost of a service call, as this is not a
warranty fault.
When temperature is
hot/warm on the
outside and rear side
of the Fridge
In normal operation, the fridge transfers heat from inside to outside of the cabinet. It is normal for the side and
rear of the fridge to feel warm/hot while operating. This will be more noticeable during start up and hot ambient
conditions.
If you have a problem, and the problem persists after you have made the checks mentioned above, contact your
nearest Electrolux approved Service Centre or the dealer you bought the refrigerator from. Be ready to quote the
model number, 9-digit PNC and 8-digit serial number, which is stated on the label inside the refrigerator compartment.
When there's leakage at water dispenser
1. Do not fill any beverage into water tank except for purified/mineral water
2. Make sure dispenser valve is tight enough
3. Clean water tank completely
