Cabinet Leveling & Refrigerator Door Alignment (if necessary)
Guidelines for final positioning of your refrigerator:
To level the cabinet using the front rollers:
1. Slightly open freezer drawer if the toe grill is installed. Lift the toe grille and gently pull forward.
2. Make initial cabinet adjustments by using the front roller height adjusting screws. Use a 3/8 inch socket wrench to turn the adjustment screws (1 per side).
To raise: turn adjustment screw clockwise.
To lower: turn adjustment screw counter clockwise.
3. Ensure both doors are bind-free with their seals touching the cabinet on all four sides and that cabinet is stable.
4. After unit is leveled, lower anti-tip leg using a 3/8 inch socket wrench until it firmly contacts the floor.
To make final door height adjustments:
1. Open freezer drawer to make lower hinge visible.
2. Insert 6mm Allen wrench into the shaft of the lower hinge.
3. Adjust the height by turning clockwise or counterclockwise. Turning clockwise will lower the door. Turning counterclockwise will raise the door. Default setting is to the lowest height when you receive your appliance
Flipper Mullion
Adjust Flipper Mullion for proper connection with the mullion guide by ensuring the flipper mullion is folded and perpendicular to the fresh food door. If the mullion guide is not in the correct position, it could prevent the door from closing completely.
IMPORTANT
Ensure that your water supply line connections comply with all local plumbing codes.
Before Installing the Water Supply Line, You Will Need:
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.
A - Adapter ½ to ¼ inch to connect the water supply outlet to the water supply line.
B - Water supply line ¼ inch with 3 meters in length.
C - ¼ inch connector to connect the water supply line to the refrigerator tube.
The water filter should not be used on water that is micro biologically unsafe 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 affect 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).

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.
Priming the water supply system
CAUTION
For proper dispenser operation, recommended water supply pressure should fall between 30 psi and 100 psi. Excessive pressure may cause the system to malfunction.
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 2.5 to 3 pounds of ice per 24 hours. The ice bin will hold about 4 pounds of ice.
IMPORTANT
Your ice maker is turned on at the factory so it can work as soon as you install your refrigerator. If you cannot connect a water supply, 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 disables ice making.
You will still be able to dispense existing ice, and you will still be able to dispense water.
On occasion, unusually small ice cubes may be noticed in the bucket or in dispensed ice. This could occur in normal operation of the ice maker. If you start seeing these more frequently, it may be an indication of low water pressure "or that" the water filter needs to be replaced. 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.
Remember, if it has 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.
Ice maker/Dispenser tips
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.
Remove and empty the ice bin if:
Remove the ice bin and shake to loosen the cubes or clean as explained above.
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.
CAUTION
To avoid personal injury or property damage, handle tempered glass shelves carefully. Shelves may break suddenly if nicked, scratched, or exposed to sudden temperature change. Allow the glass shelves to stabilize to room temperature before cleaning. Do not wash in dishwasher.
You can easily adjust shelf positions in the fresh food compartments to suit your needs. The shelves have mounting brackets that attach to slotted supports at the rear of each compartment.
