UNPACKING
ENVIRONMENT
Most of the packing materials are recyclable.
Please dispose of those materials through your
local recycling depot or by placing them in
appropriate collection containers.
Important – check for any damages or marks. If you find
the refrigerator is damaged or marked, you must report it
within 7 days should you wish to claim for damage/ marks
under the manufacturers warranty. This does not affect
your statutory rights.
Clean your refrigerator thoroughly following the instructions
in the “Cleaning” section and wipe off any dust that has
accumulated during shipping.
LOCATING THE REFRIGERATOR
CAUTION
Automatic aerosol systems (such as insect control)
should not be located adjacent to the product as
the spray may cause long term damage to the
external surfaces of the appliance.
Do not put the refrigerator in a location that is too cold or is
unprotected, for example in a garage or on a veranda. The
ambient temperature should be above 10°C.
Put the refrigerator in a dry place avoiding areas of high
moisture or humidity.
INSTALLING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
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.
Ensure the refrigerator is located on an even surface.
Adequate ventilation around your refrigerator
The diagram below shows the recommended airspace to
allow for ventilation of your refrigerator.
If you have a cupboard above the refrigerator with a rear gap
of less than 100 mm (Y), recommended clearance at the top of
the refrigerator increases from 50mm to 90mm (X) minimum.
When positioned in a corner area, spacing of at least
350mm (300mm for multi-door models) on the hinge side
will allow the doors to open enough to enable the removal
of bins and shelves.
NOTE: Doors are designed to sit proud of cabinetry (not
flush). The clearances shown above are the recommended
minimum clearances.
The clearance at the rear must not exceed 75mm.

WARNING
Connect to potable water supply only, if using tank
or bore water in a model with an internal filter 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.
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 Spare Parts
Centres and can be posted to you for your convenience
(refer to spare parts contact numbers on the warranty page).
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 with your refrigerator and will require fitting.
Refer to the instructions provided in the pack.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed your
new refrigerator.
Contents of installation kits
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
(30PSI and 100PSI). If the water supply is above 100psi a
pressure limiting valve should be installed.

ICE AND WATER MODELS (CONTINUED)
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.
INSTALLATION
Please read before beginning installation.
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 a leak still occurs, it is recommended
to contact a licensed plumber for advice.
Water is to be connected as per diagrams below.

CHANGING THE WATER FILTER
IMPORTANT
• Always fit the filter as per
manufacturer’s instructions.
• If you need to replace 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).
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.
Diagram 1
Diagram 2
Internal Water filter
The water filter is located at the top left side of the fresh

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 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).
Diagram 5
USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
15
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.
IMPORTANT
For top mount refrigerators (where the freezer is
on top of the fresh food compartment).

a high efficiency fan.
ConcernWhat to do
Refrigerator is too warm.Ensure food is allowed to cool before placing inside the refrigerator.
Ensure the appliance is set up as per instructions on page 11.
Ensure that contents are not obstructing the cooling vents.
Ensure the door is not held open or is being opened too frequently.
Freezer is too warm.Adjust temperature to a colder setting.
Ensure food is allowed to cool before placing inside the freezer.
Ensure the appliance is set up as per instructions on page 11.
Ensure that contents are not obstructing the cooling vents.
Ensure the door is not held open or is being opened too frequently.
Food is freezing in the
refrigerator.
Unable to change temperature
settings.
Adjust temperature to a warmer setting.
Ensure that fruit and vegetables are stored in the crisper. Items with a high water
content should not be placed near the cooling vents.
Refer to function guide in Controlling Your Refrigerator.
Ensure that user interface is in "awake" mode before trying to adjust temperature settings.
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.
ConcernWhat to do
Motor noise (compressor).
A clicking noise heard just before
the compressor starts.
Occasional gurgling, similar to
water boiling.
Airflow noise.
Rattling and other noises.
Crisper Operation
ConcernWhat to do
Excess moisture build up in crisper.
It is normal for there to be some
moisture and humidity in the
crisper bin.
Crisper bin can not be removed.If crisper bin interferes with the door bins, remove door bins before removing crisper.
Nothing. This is normal as your new refrigerator uses a variable speed compressor and
fan that at start up and on warm days runs at a high speed to provide additional cooling.
When less cooling is required the compressor and fan will run at a lower speed
Note that the compressor noise may seem louder at the start of the on cycle.
Nothing. This is normal as your new refrigerator has an automatic switching action of
the temperature control, turning the compressor on and off.
Nothing. As each refrigeration cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the
refrigerant flowing in your refrigerator system.
Nothing, this is normal as your new refrigerator uses high efficiency fans to circulate
air. Fan speed and noise may increase during periods of heavy usage or hot weather.
Ensure that the cabinet is level and stable, refer to Installation Instructions on page 11.
Check the surrounds of the appliance to ensure there is nothing touching or placed
on top of the appliance.
Ensure that contents of the appliance are not placed in such a way that they are
vibrating (such as bottles).
Ensure that the crisper is not over packed.
Adjust crisper humidity slides.
Position cabinet so that the door can be fully opened.
Freezing items in the crisper.Adjust temperature to a warmer setting.
TROUBLESHOOTING

ConcernWhat to do
Appliance will not run
It is normal for the freezer fan not
to operate during the automatic
defrost cycle, or for a short time
after the appliance is switched on.
Compressor motor seems to run
too long
At normal room temperatures,
expect your motor to run about
40% to 80% of the time. Under
warmer conditions, expect it to run
even more often.
The variable speed compressor
and fan that at start up and on
warm days runs at a high speed
to provide additional cooling.
When less cooling is required the
compressor and fan will run at a
lower speed.
The exterior of the appliance is
warm or hot to touch
This is normal because the
appliance transfers heat from the
inside out through the outer panels
and the divider between the doors.
User interface will not respond
To ensure settings are not
accidentally changed the user
interface will go into sleep mode
when not in use.
Press any button to wake user
interface.
Alarms soundingCheck that all doors are fully closed.
Frost build upCheck that all doors are fully closed.

between you and Electrolux are governed by the law applicable where
the Appliance was purchased. Where the Appliance was purchased in
New Zealand for commercial purposes the Consumer Guarantee Act
does not apply.
9. To the extent permitted by law and subject to your non-excludable
statutory rights and warranties, Electrolux excludes all warranties and
liabilities (other than as contained in this document) including liability for
any loss or damage whether direct or indirect arising from your purchase,
use or non use of the Appliance.
10. For Appliances and services provided by Electrolux in Australia,
the Appliances come with a guarantee by Electrolux that cannot be
excluded under the ACL. You are entitled to a replacement or refund
for a major failure and for compensation for any other reasonably
foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the Appliance
repaired or replaced if the Appliance fails to be of acceptable quality and
the failure does not amount to a major failure.
The benets to you given by this warranty are in addition to your other
rights and remedies under a law in relation to the Appliances or services
to which the warranty relates.
11. At all times during the Warranty Period, Electrolux shall, at its discretion,
determine whether repair, replacement or refund will apply if an
Appliance has a valid warranty claim applicable to it.
12. For Appliances and services provided by Electrolux in New Zealand,
the Appliances come with a guarantee by Electrolux pursuant to the
provisions of the Consumer Guarantees Act, the Sale of Goods Act and
the Fair Trading Act.
