6. 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.
WATER
Priming the water supply system
1. Begin filling the system by pressing and
holding a drinking glass against the
dispenser.
2. Keep the glass in this position until water
comes out of the dispenser. It may take
about 1½ minutes.
3. Continue dispensing water for about four
minutes to flush the system and plumbing
connections of any impurities (stopping to
empty the glass as necessary).
Dispenser
Dispenser
Note: The water dispenser has a built-in device
that shuts off the water flow after three minutes
of continuous use. To reset this shut-off 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.
13ENGLISH
CAUTION
If the water supply to your refrigerator
is softened, be sure the softener is
properly maintained. Chemicals from
a water softener can damage the ice
maker.
Cleaning the ice maker
Clean the ice maker and ice bin at regular
intervals, especially prior to vacation or moving.
1. Turn off the icemaker.
2. Remove the ice bin by pulling straight out.
3. Empty and carefully clean the ice bin with
mild detergent. Do not use harsh or abrasive
cleaners. Do not place in dishwasher. Rinse
with clear water.
4. Allow the ice bin to dry completely before
placing it back into the freezer.
5. Place ice bin back into position. Turn the ice
maker on.
Remove and empty the ice bin if:
• An extended power failure (one hour or
longer) causes ice cubes in the ice bin to
melt and refreeze together after power is
restored, jamming the dispenser mechanism.
• You do not use the ice dispenser frequently.
Ice cubes will freeze together in the bin,
jamming the dispenser mechanism.
Removing Ice Bin
Remove the ice bin and shake to loosen the
cubes or clean as explained above.
Turning the ice maker on and off
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/Off feature to Off; 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/Off feature on the control panel. Pressing
the On/Off feature turns the ice maker on & off.
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.
IMPORTANT
Turning off the ice maker simply d
isables ice making. You will still be able
to dispense existing ice, and you will
still be able to dispense water.
Ice maker/dispenser tips
• If your refrigerator is not connected to a
water supply or the water supply is turned off,
turn off the ice maker as d escribed in the
previous section.
• The following sounds are normal when the
ice maker is operating:
- Motor running
- Ice dropping into ice bin
- Water valve opening or closing
- Running water
• If you need a large quantity of ice at one
time, it is best to get cubes directly from the
ice bin.
• Ice cubes stored too long may develop an
odd flavor. Empty the ice bin as explained
below.
• When dispensing cubed ice, it is normal to
have a small quantity of little pieces along
with the whole cubes.
• To avoid splashing, dispense ice into your
container before adding liquids.
• It is normal for ice to fill to the top of the ice
bin.
14 www.electrolux.com
CAUTION
Never use an ice pick or similar
sharp instrument to break up the ice.
This could damage the ice bin and
dispenser mechanism.
To loosen stuck ice, use warm water.
Before replacing the ice bin, make sure
it is completely dry.
IMPORTANT
When removing or replacing the ice
bin, avoid rotating the auger in the ice
bin. If the auger is accidentally rotated,
you must realign the auger by turning
it in 45 degree turns (see below) 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 not dispense ice.
The fresh food door also may not close
properly causing warm air to leak into
the fresh food compartment.

10. TROUBLESHOOTING
Concern Potential Cause Common Solution
Automatic Ice Maker
Ice maker is not
making any ice.
• Ice maker is turned off.
• Refrigerator is not connected
to water line or water valve
is not open.
• The water supply line is
kinked.
• The water filter is not seated
properly.
• The water filter may be
clogged with foreign
material.
• Turn on ice maker. For the fresh food ice maker,
press ice maker on-off button once.
• Connect the unit to the household water supply and
ensure the water valve is open.
• Ensure that the supply line does not kink when the
refrigerator is pushed into place against the wall.
• Remove and re-install the water filter. Be sure to
seat it fully into the locked position.
• If water dispenses slowly or not at all, or if the filter
is six months old or older, it should be replaced.
Ice maker is not
making enough ice.
• Ice maker is producing less
ice than you expect.
• The water filter may be
clogged with foreign
material.
• The water supply line is
kinked.
• Water pressure is extremely
low. Cut-off and cut-on
pressures are too low
(well systems only).
• Reverse osmosis system is in
regenerative phase.
• The ice maker will produce approximately 1 kg of
ice every 24 hours depending on usage conditions.
• If water dispenses slower than normal, or if the filter
is six months old or older, it should be replaced.
• Ensure that the supply line does not kink when the
refrigerator is pushed into place against the wall.
• Have someone turn up the cut-off and cut-on
pressure on the water pump system (well systems
only).
• It is normal for a reverse osmosis system to be
below 137 kPa (20 psi) during the regenerative
phase.
Ice cubes are
freezing together.
• Ice cubes are not being
used frequently enough or
interruption of power for
prolonged time.
• Ice cubes are hollow (shells
of ice with water inside). The
hollow cubes break open in
the bin and leak their water
onto existing ice, which
causes it to freeze together.
• Remove ice container and discard ice. The ice
maker will produce fresh supply. Ice should be used
at least twice weekly to keep the cubes separated.
• This generally occurs when the ice maker does
not get enough water. This is usually the result of
a clogged water filter or restricted water supply.
Replace the water filter and if the condition still
occurs, check to see if the water valve is not turned
on all the way or if there is a kinked water supply
line.
Dispenser (Ice & Water)
Dispenser (Ice &
water) not dispensing
ice.
• There is no ice in the bin to
be dispensed.
• The refrigerator doors are
not completely closed.
• Dispenser paddle has
been pressed too long and
the dispenser motor has
overheated.
• See the “Ice maker is not making any ice” section.
• Be sure the refrigerator doors are completely
closed.
• The motor overload protector will reset in about
three minutes and then ice can be dispensed.
22 www.electrolux.com
Concern Potential Cause Common Solution
Dispenser (Ice & Water)
Ice dispenser is
jammed.
• Ice has melted and frozen
around auger due to
infrequent use, temperature
fluctuations, and/or power
outages.
• Ice cubes are jammed
between ice maker and back
of ice container.
• Remove ice container, thaw, and empty the
contents. Clean container, wipe dry, and replace in
proper position. When new ice is made, dispenser
should operate.
• Remove ice cubes that are jamming the dispenser.
Dispenser (Ice &
water) not dispensing
water.
• Dispenser (Ice & water) not
dispensing water.
• Remove and reinstall the water filter. Be sure to
rotate it to the right until it stops and the grip end
is vertical.
• Replace filter cartridge. Be sure to rotate it to the
right until it stops and the grip end is vertical.
• Open household water line valve. See CONCERN
column AUTOMATIC ICE MAKER.
Water not cold
enough.
• As warmer tap water goes
through the filter and enters
the water supply system,
the chilled water is pushed
through to the dispenser.
Once the chilled water is
used up, it will take several
hours to bring the freshly
replaced water to a cooler
temperature.
• Add ice to cup or container before dispensing
water.
Water has an odd
taste and/or odor.
• Water has not been
dispensed for an extended
period of time.
• Unit not properly connected
to cold water line.
• Draw and discard 10-12 glasses of water to freshen
the supply.
• Connect unit to cold water line that supplies water
to the kitchen faucet.

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.
