FRENCH DOOR REFRIGERATOR FEATURES

CONTROL PANEL

INSTALLING

Locating

1. Roll the refrigerator into place.

• The rollers are designed for forward or backward movement only. They are not castors. Moving the refrigerator sideways may damage your floor and the rollers. Before moving your refrigerator ensure height adjusting nut and the stability foot are fully wound up off the floor.

2. Wind the large height adjusting nut under door hinge down until the refrigerator is tilted back by 10mm see diagram).

3. Wind the large height adjusting nut on the handle side down until the refrigerator is level and stable. If you have difficulty winding the nut or height adjusting foot down, have someone tilt the refrigerator back so you have better access.

4. Check the alignment of the refrigerator to the surrounding cupboards to see if it is level. You can adjust the level as detailed in step 2 and 3.

5. If you find your refrigerator rocks from corner to corner, it means your floor is uneven. Find a piece of plastic or hardboard etc. and pack it firmly under the roller.

6. You may now need to fine-tune the installation by repeating steps 3, 4 and 5.

7. When you have the appliance in its final position, it needs to be stabilised. Wind the stability foot under the door hinge down to the floor until it just makes contact with the floor. Lift the front of the appliance to take the weight off the stability foot, then turn it half a turn further to ensure firm contact with the floor. Wind the large height adjusting nut back up to ensure all the weight is now on the front stability foot. Wind the large height adjusting nut back up to ensure all the weight is now on the front stability foot.

8. Repeat step 7 for the stability foot on the handle side. Whenever you need to move the appliance, be sure to wind the feet back up so that the appliance can roll freely and be sure to reset it when reinstalling.

9. Plug your refrigerator straight into its own power point and never use a double adapter. If you need to roll the refrigerator to get to the plug, remember to raise the stability foot first.

10. Before you put any food in your refrigerator, it’s recommended you leave it on for 2 or 3 hours to check it is running properly.

Fitting the handles

For models with ‘Pole’ handles, the handles are supplied prepackaged inside your refrigerator and will require fitting. Refer to the instructions provided in the pack.

ICE AND WATER INSTALLATION

*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 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

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 affect the flow of water to the ice maker or water dispenser. The water dispenser and automatic ice maker require a drinkable water supply with a pressure range of between 206kPa and 689kPa

PSI and 100PSI). If the water supply is above 100psi a pressure limiting valve should be installed.

It is recommended that a noise reduction valve also be fitted in the water supply line. This will reduce water hammer and its effects 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.

*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 3. Push the tube into tap fitting past insertion mark.

Step 4.
Connect other end of tube to inlet on rear of 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. See other models: WMB4425SA WIM1200WD WVG613W WHG756SA WHTS2S02K By referring to Ice&Water on/off function on page no.21
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 off 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 off after 2 minutes of continuous operation.

*IMPORTANT

• As the water cut off 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.
• If you have not used the dispenser for some time, discard the first seven or eight cups of water (contaminants could have settled in the water pipes).

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 off.

Replacing the water filter

The water filter is located at the top left side of the fresh food compartment.
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 off (Diagram 1). 2. Remove the filter by turning anti-clockwise 180 ̊. 3. Slide the old water filter cartridge straight out of the housing and discard it. (Diagram 2). 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. (Diagram 3). 5. Engage the filter by firmly rotating clockwise until the filter snaps into position (once engaged the filter cannot be rotated further). (Diagram 4). 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. (Diagram 5). 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.

REMOVING FEATURES

TEMPERATURE CONTROL

• Bottom mount & French door
  • Refrigerator 3°C
  • Freezer -18°C
• All Refrigerator: Mid
• All Freezer: -18°C
• If you want to change the temperature, follow the instructions in the section about the user interface for your model. Ensure that you make only small adjustments and wait 24 hours to see if it’s correct to your liking.

*IMPORTANT

NOTE: When you set a temperature, you set an average temperature for the whole refrigerator cabinet.

• Checking the softness of ice cream is a good indication that your freezer is the right temperature, while checking the temperature of water kept in the refrigerator is a good way of checking the temperature of the food compartment.
• Temperatures inside each compartment may vary, depending on how much food you store and where you place it.
• High or low room temperature may also affect the actual temperature inside the refrigerator.
