TIPS AND USEFUL INFORMATION

Always fit filter as per manufacturer’s instructions.

If you need to replace water tube, only use approved water quality piping that meets the pressure requirements.

DO NOT allow the water tubing to become kinked or trapped under the refrigerator when moving the refrigerator back into position.

Make sure your refrigerator is level to avoid uneven or oversize cubes. Uneven ice cubes may lead to the dispenser chute becoming blocked.

After installation, run the water dispenser for a few minutes to ensure that all air bubbles have been purged from the tubing. Dripping may occur if air bubbles remain in the tube.

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.

As the water/ice cut off is not instant, leave glass under dispenser briefly until water or ice has stopped flowing to avoid spills.

Always place ice in glass before filling with water to avoid splashing.

When dispensing ice hold the container close to the chute to avoid spray or spills.

If you are using your refrigerator for the first time, or if you have not used the dispenser for some time:

• Discard the first seven or eight cups of water
• Discard any ice that the ice maker produces in the first 24 hours (contaminants could have settled in the water pipes).

WARNING Connect to potable water supply only. Do not put fingers into the ice crusher. Surfaces there may be sharp.

CHANGING THE WATER FILTER

IMPORTANT

• Always fit the filter as per manufacturer’s instructions.
• If you need to replace the 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.

WARNING

If you have not used the dispenser for some time, discard the first seven or eight cups of water and any ice that the ice maker produces in the first 24 hours (contaminants could have settled in the water pipes).

Water filter

The water filter is located at the top left side of the fresh food compartment.

Replacing the water filter

You should change the water filter every six months to ensure the highest possible water quality.

If your refrigerator has not been used for a period of time (during a house move for example), change the filter before reinstalling the refrigerator.

It is not necessary to turn the water supply off to change the filter. Be ready to wipe up any small amounts of water released during the filter replacement.

1. Ensure that the ice maker is turned

2. Remove the filter by turning anti-clockwise 180˚.

3. Slide the old water filter cartridge straight out of the housing and discard it.

4. Unwrap the new filter cartridge and using the alignment guide, slide it gently into filter housing until it stops against the filter connection at the back of the housing.

5. Engage the filter by firmly rotating clockwise until the filter snaps into position (once engaged the filter cannot be rotated further).

6. Press a drinking glass against the water dispenser while checking for any leaks at the filter housing. Any spurts and sputters that occur as the system purges air out of the dispenser system are normal.

7. After filling one glass of water, continue flushing the system for about four minutes.

8. Turn on the ice maker.

9. When the filter has been replaced press and hold the ‘Ice and Water’ button for three seconds to reset the filter replace timer.

USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

Refrigerators work by transferring heat from the food inside to the outside air. This operation makes the back and sides of the refrigerator feel warm or even hot particularly at start-up and on warm days – this is normal.

Avoid placing food against the air vents in the refrigerator as it affects efficient circulation. If the door is opened frequently, a light frosting will occasionally occur on the freezer’s interior. This is normal and will clear after a few days. If the freezer door is accidentally kept open, a heavy frost will coat the inside walls and should be removed.

Your new refrigerator uses a high-speed compressor, along with other energy-efficient components, which may make unusual sounds and be more noticeable at night and quieter times. These sounds simply indicate your refrigerator is working how it should. They include:

• Compressor running noises;
• Air movement noise from the small fan motor;
• A gurgling sound, similar to water boiling;
• A popping noise, heard during automatic defrosting; and
• A clicking noise, prior to compressor start-up.

Further details can be found in the Troubleshooting Guide.

Temperature Sensors

Avoid loading food against your freezer temperature sensor.

Doing so may adversely affect freezer temperatures. If warm food is inadvertently loaded against the sensor, it may also set off the freezer temperature alarm for up to 50 minutes after the food is loaded against the sensor.

Twist ice and Serve

To use, remove the tray, fill with water and place back in the freezer.

Once ice has formed (approximately 3 hours) simply twist the knob at the front clockwise until the ice drops into the bin below.

Ice and water dispenser features

The ice and water dispenser conveniently dispenses cool, filtered water and ice cubes or crushed ice.

To operate the ice dispenser, select an ice option using the electronic display and press a glass against the dispensing paddle.

To stop dispensing ice, pull the glass away from the dispensing paddle. Remove the glass from the dispenser paddle when it is approximately half full.

Ice already in the chute may cause the glass to overflow or back up into the chute and cause a blockage (refer to troubleshooting guide on how to unblock the ice chute).

To operate the water dispenser, select the water option on the electronic display, press a glass against the dispensing paddle.

To stop dispensing water, pull the glass away from the water dispensing paddle. As the ice and water cut-off is not instant, leave glass under the dispenser until the ice and water has completely stopped to avoid spills.

A drip tray located at the base of the dispenser (see diagram above) will catch small spills and allow them to evaporate.

Opening the freezer door will de-activate the ice dispenser.

CAUTION Do not pour water or excess cubes into the drip tray because it is not connected to a drain.

WARNING Do not use fragile glass for dispensing water or ice – risk of injury from broken glass.

CAUTION

LED lighting

Your appliance is fitted with long life LED lighting. In the unlikely event the LED lights should fail, then the LED lights should be serviced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified technician.

Refer to the warranty page for contact details.

USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

Bottle filling function

The bottle filling function facilitates the flow of water directly into the mouth of a bottle, minimising splashing and spillage. Water flows from the water dispensing nozzle located on the underside of the ice and water dispenser.

To use this function, place the mouth of the bottle over the water dispensing nozzle.

Once the mouth of the bottle is completely over the water dispensing nozzle (see diagram below) gently push bottle up to dispense water and fill bottle. Once the bottle is full, remove the bottle and the flow of water will stop automatically.

Controlling the temperature

The default temperature for the refrigerator is 3°C and -18°C for the freezer. If you want to change the temperature, follow the instructions on the following pages.

Make only small adjustments and wait 24 hours to see if it’s correct. Checking the softness of ice cream is a good indication of whether your freezer is at the correct temperature, while feeling the coldness of water kept in your refrigerator is a good way of checking the temperature of the food compartment.

NOTE: The set temperature for the refrigerator is an average temperature for the whole refrigerator cabinet. Temperatures inside each compartment may vary depending on how much food you store and where you place it. High or low temperature may also affect the actual temperature inside the refrigerator.

Door alarm

Your new appliance is fitted with a door alarm. This alarm will sound if the refrigerator or freezer door is left open for longer than 3 minutes, To silence the alarm, check for any obstructions preventing the door from closing and remove or simply close the door.

CLEANING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

WARNING BEFORE CLEANING: Turn the refrigerator off at the power point and unplug the cord to prevent any chance of electrocuting yourself.

Doors and exterior (white and silver):

You should only clean the doors with lukewarm soapy water and a soft cloth.

Stainless Steel:

Your stainless steel refrigerator is manufactured from mark-resistant stainless steel. This stainless steel has a special advanced protective coating that eases the removal of marks such as fingerprints and water spots. To keep its appearance, clean it regularly with lukewarm soapy water and a soft cloth.

CAUTION Never use stainless steel cleaners, abrasive pads or other cleaners that will scratch the surface. Damage to the appliance after delivery is not covered by your warranty.

Interior

Clean the inside of your refrigerator regularly with a soft cloth, unscented mild soap and lukewarm water. Thoroughly dry all surfaces and removable parts and avoid getting water on the controls. Replace removable parts, plug power cord in and switch the power on before returning the food.

Door seals

Always keep door seals clean by washing them with a mild detergent and warm water, followed by a thorough drying. Sticky food and drink can cause seals to stick to the cabinet and tear when you open the door.

Never use hot water, solvents, commercial kitchen cleaners, aerosol cleaners, metal polishes, caustic or abrasive cleaners, or scourers to clean your refrigerator. Many commercially available cleaning products and detergents contain solvents that will damage your refrigerator. Use only a soft cloth with an unscented mild soap and lukewarm water.

CAUTION To clean a crisper or freezer bin with telescopic extension slides, simply wipe with a damp cloth and warm soapy water. Never immerse the cover in water, as this could affect the operation of the slide.

Switching off your refrigerator

If you switch off your refrigerator for an extended period, follow these steps to reduce the chances of mould:

1. Remove all food.
2. Remove the power plug from the power point.
3. Thoroughly clean and dry the interior.
4. Ensure that all the doors are wedged open slightly for air circulation.

TROUBLESHOOTING

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.
