INSTALLING YOUR NEW APPLIANCE ICE AND WATER INSTALLATIONINITIAL START-UP
8. When you have the appliance in its final position, it
needs to be stablisied. Wind the stability foot 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 ¼ turn further to ensure firm
contact with the floor. 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.
9. Clean your refrigerator thoroughly following the
instructions on page 24 and wipe off any dust that has
accumulated during shipping.
10. 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.
11. 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.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed your new
refrigerator.
WARNING
Connect to potable water supply only.
The external water filter kit
An external water filter and connection kit has been
supplied for use with your Ice & Water refrigerator.
The external filter design allows more space within the
refrigerator and provides double the life of previous filters
reducing the cost of replacement.
The filter is designed to significantly reduce chlorine, taste,
odour, heavy metals, turbidity (cloudiness) and scale build
up. The included plastic water tube allows quick connection
to the filter and is designed for high durability and kink
resistance.
This filter is designed only to be used with a potable
water supply. It should not be used on water that is micro
biologically unsafe or with water of unknown quality. The
filter should be replaced every 12 months. 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.

Refrigerators work by transferring heat from the food inside
to the outside air. This operation makes the back and sides
of the refrigerator (particularly at start-up) feel warm – which
is normal.
A cooling coil is located behind the rear wall of the freezer
section (in top mount, bottom mount and freezer models)
and behind the crisper in the all-refrigerator models.
This coil cools and removes moisture from the air inside.
Avoid placing food against the air vents in the refrigerator,
as it affects the 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. 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 on page 25.
TIPS & INFORMATION
• 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 the freezer is below
the fresh food compartment), single door refrigerators and
single door vertical freezers.
– Ensure all freezer drawers and shelves are pushed
back completely to prevent them from keeping the
door open.
Please read before beginning installation
The water connection to your ice and water product can
be self-installed. It is recommended that you seek advice
from a licensed plumber (if necessary) before commencing
the installation.
CAUTION
Your warranty may be voided by an incorrect installation.
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. Where the tap connection is other than 1/2”
adapters can be purchased from plumbing supply stores
or good hardware stores.
Water filter
Locate the water filter as close as possible to the water
supply tap in a vertical position where possible. The filter
will need to be replaced every 12 months to prevent excess
filtered micro-organism build-up, and thus ensure continuous
purified water and ice supply for you and your family.
Replacement water filters are available from Electrolux
Home Products Spare Parts Centres and can be posted to
you for your convenience (refer to back page for contact
details).
CAUTION
If the appliance is not connected to a water supply, ensure
that the ice maker is switched off (refer to STEP 1 overleaf).
If you don’t do this a loud buzzing noise will be heard
intermittently. The new hose-sets supplied with the appliance
must be used and old hose-sets should not be reused. Do
not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or with
water of unknown quality without adequate disinfection.
Never connect the appliance to a hot water supply.
Never install the water filer in an area of the wall where
there may be electrical wires and / or water supply pipes.
