6. CONNECTING THE WATER SUPPLY
WARNING
Connect to potable water supply
only. If using tank or bore water it is
recommended to also use an external filter
(not supplied).
The new hose-sets supplied with the appliances
must be used and old hose-sets should not be
reused.
Never connect the appliance to a hot water supply.
Do not use with water that is microbiologically
unsafe or with water of unknown quality without
adequate disinfection.
Water Filter
It should not be used on water that is micro
biologicallyunsafe 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 aect the
function of the ice maker. Service calls caused by

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 aect the flow of water to
the ice maker or water dispenser. If there is a risk of
flow rate higher than the maximum flow rate 2.46
L/min, a flow controller should be installed. 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.
4 metres of water tubing 1 x 1/2” tap fitting
It is recommended that a noise reduction valve
also be fitted in the water supply line. This will
reduce water hammer and its eects 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 appliance complies with the relevant backflow
prevention requirements specified in AS/NZS
2845.1.
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 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/o
function. 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 o 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 o
after 2 minutes of continuous operation.
IMPORTANT
As the water cut o 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. Flushing system about 2
minutes after period of non-use exceeding
30 days.
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 o.
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.
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.
background
21EN
Note: The water dispenser has a built-in device
that shuts o the water flow after three minutes of
continuous use. To reset this shut-o device, simply
release the dispenser paddle. Only the first 750 ml
of dispensed water is chilled.
CAUTION
Do not fill the Water tank with anything
other then clean water (Filtered or Mineral
water). Soft drink, juice, tea or hot water
etc, can damage your automatic icemaker.
The Water tank can withstand a maximum
water temperature of 60°C
TIP AND USEFUL INFORMATION
Remove and clean ice bin and water tank
once a month, discarding unused ice and
water. This will ensure fresh ice and smooth
operation of your icemaker.
Make sure your refrigerator is level to avoid
uneven ice cubes.
Ice maker operation & care
After the refrigerator is installed properly and has
cooled for several hours, the ice maker can produce
ice within 24 hours. The ice maker will fill the ice bin
from the rear. You must dispense some ice to force
the ice forward in the bin. This will allow the bin to
fill completely.
Ice Maker and Storage Bin Capacity
This ice maker should produce 1 kg of ice per 24
hours. The ice bin will hold about 1.8 kg of ice.
Turning the ice maker on and o
IMPORTANT
Your ice maker is turned on at the factory
so it can work as soon as you install your
refrigerator. If you do not fill the water
tank, set the ice maker’s On/O feature
to O; otherwise, the ice maker’s fill valve
may make a loud chattering noise when it
attempts to operate without water.
Ice production is controlled by the ice maker’s On/
O feature on the control panel. Pressing the On/
O feature turns the ice maker on & o.
Note: The ice maker also has a built-in plastic signal
arm that automatically stops ice production when
the ice bin is full. This signal arm should not be used
to manually stop the ice maker.
7. AUTOMATIC ICE &WATER DISPENSER
Using the ice maker 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.
Refilling the water tank
The water tank must be placed on the door.
Pour potable water through the funnel at the lid
of water tank.
Ensure that ice maker and dispenser is switched
on.
Priming the water supply system
1. Begin filling the system by pressing and holding
a drinking glass against the dispenser.

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.
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 o during operation.
Note that the compressor noise may seem louder at the start of the on
cycle.
Motor noise (compressor); 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 compressor starts.
Nothing. This is normal as your new refrigerator has an automatic
switching action of the temperature control, turning the compressor on
and o.
Occasional gurgling, similar to
water boiling.
Nothing. As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the
refrigerant flowing in your refrigerator system.
Nothing, this is normal as your new refrigerator uses high efficiency
fans to circulate air. Fan speed and noise may increase during periods of
