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 aect the
function of the ice maker. Service calls caused by
a failure to replace the filter are not covered by
warranty. Replacement water filters are available
from Electrolux Home Products Spare Parts Centres
and can be posted to you for your convenience
(refer to spare parts contact numbers on the
warranty page).

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 aect 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 eects 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
