Priming The Water Supply System

Yourrefrigerator’swatersupplysystemincludes

several tubing lines, an advanced water ﬁlter, a

distribution valve bank, and a reserve tank to ensure

ample supply to the ice and water dispenser at all

times. This system needs to be completely ﬁlled with

water when ﬁrst connected to an external supply line.

To prime the water supply system:

1. Begin ﬁlling the tank by pressing and holding a

drinking glass against the water dispenser paddle.

2. Keep the glass in this position until water comes

out of the dispenser. There will be noticeable

spurts and sputters as the system pushes air

out through the system and dispenser nozzle. It

may take about 1½ minutes.

3. Continue dispensing water for about three

minutes to ﬂush the system and plumbing

connections of any impurities (stopping to

empty the glass as necessary).

Ice Dispenser Operation & Care

The ice maker, ice bin, and dispenser feeding

mechanism are located in the top of the freezer

compartment. After the refrigerator is installed

properly and has cooled for several hours, the

ice maker can produce ice within 24 hours. It can

completely ﬁll an ice bin in about two days.

The ice maker produces 4 to 6 pounds of ice every

24 hours depending on usage conditions. Ice is

produced at a rate of 8 cubes every 75 to 90 minutes.

Using The Ice Dispenser 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.

Turning The Ice Dispenser On And Off

a loud chattering noise.

CAUTION

Pushing the dispensing paddle in for more

than four minutes may cause the dispenser

motor to overload and stop. The overload

protector resets automatically after three to

four minutes.

NOTE

The ice maker also has a built-in wire signal arm,

which automatically stops ice production when the

ice bin is full. This signal arm should not be used to

manually stop the ice maker.

CAUTION

For proper dispenser operation, recommended

water supply pressure should fall between 30

psi and 100 psi. Excessive pressure may cause

water ﬁlter to malfunction.

NOTE

The water dispenser has a built-in device that

shuts off the water ﬂow after three minutes of

continuous use. To reset this shutoff device,

simply release the dispenser paddle.

Ice cubes will freeze together in the bin,

jamming the dispenser mechanism.

Remove the ice storage bin and shake to loosen

the cubes or clean as explained above.

Auger

Clean the ice maker and ice bin at regular intervals,

particularly before you take a vacation or move.

IMPORTANT

Whenremovingorreplacingtheicebin,DONOT

rotate the auger in the ice bin. If the auger is

accidentally rotated, you must realign the auger

by turning it in 90° turns 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 only dispense Crushed Ice.

The freezer door may also not close properly

causing warm air to leak into the freezer.

CAUTION

NEVER use an ice pick or similar sharp

instrument to break up the ice. This could damage

the ice storage bin and dispenser mechanism.

IMPORTANT

Small Ice cubes or ice chips jamming in the ice

maker may be a sign that your water ﬁlter needs

changing. If you have a side mounted ice maker

you may also experience hollow cubes — partially

frozen cubes with water inside. When these cubes

are harvested they break open and spill water over

the other ice cubes in the ice container, forming a

solid mass of ice. 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.Theicemakercan’tlleverycubeintheice

maker mold, leading to small cubes or chips that

can get caught between the ice ejector blades

and the stripper. Remember, if your ice maker is

jamming with small ice cubes or it’s 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.

CAUTION

Chemicals from a malfunctioning water

softener can damage the ice maker. If the water

supply to your refrigerator is softened, be sure

the softener is maintained to work properly.

NOTE

The electronic control panel, located at the top of

the refrigerator compartment, includes controls to

monitor the status of your air ﬁlter. See the previous

section for more information about these controls.

Changing The Filter

Locating The Filters

Your refrigerator is equipped with separate water and

air ﬁltering systems. The water ﬁlter system ﬁlters

all dispensed drinking water, as well as the water

used to produce ice. The air ﬁlter removes odors and

impurities from the refrigerator compartment.

Water Filter

The water ﬁlter is located at the top of the fresh

food compartment, next to the electronic control

system panel.

Air Filter (some models)

The air ﬁlter is located inside the refrigerator

compartment at the top rear corner. See the earlier

section in this manual for more information about

when to replace the ﬁlter.

Replacing The Air Filter

In general, you should change the air ﬁlter every

six months to ensure optimal ﬁltering of refrigerator

odors. You may want to adjust this time period

depending on the types and amounts of food you

typically store in your refrigerator. To replace your

air ﬁlter:

1 Push the plastic bubble tab located on the

side of the air ﬁlter housing. The hinged

bottom half drops open.

2 Remove the old ﬁlter and discard it.

3 Unpackage the new ﬁlter and place it inside

the hinged bottom half of the housing.

4 Push the hinged bottom half upward until the

tab snaps.

5 Press and hold the Filter Reset button on the

electronic control panel for three seconds.

When the Filter OK light comes on, the status

has been reset.

6 Press and hold the Filter Reset button for

three seconds again to turn off the ﬁlter

status system.

Ordering Replacement Filters

Order new ﬁlters through the dealer where you

bought your refrigerator, or contact Electrolux at

1-877-808-4195, or go to our web site at www.

the housing and discard it.

4 Unpackage the new ﬁlter cartridge and

slide it gently into the ﬁlter housing until it

stops against the snap-in connector at the

back of the housing.

5 Push ﬁrmly until the cartridge snaps into

place. When fully engaged, the front of the

ﬁlter cartridge should be ﬂush with the ﬁlter

release button.

6 Turn On the ice maker power switch.

7 Press a drinking glass against the water

dispenser while checking for any leaks at

the ﬁlter housing.
