INSTALLING YOUR NEW APPLIANCE
Adequate ventilation around your refrigerator
The diagram below shows the recommended airspace
to allow for ventilation of your refrigerator.
If 5 mm side clearance, the fridge cabinet must sit at least
5 mm proud of kitchen cabinetry for doors to open.
A 5 mm side clearance requires 50 mm rear clearance.
If you do not have a cupboard above the refrigerator with
a rear gap of minimum 100 (Y), recommended clearance
at the top of the refrigerator are as follows: If gap (Y) is not
a minimum 100mm, then gap (Z) increases from 10mm to
45mm.

CAUTION!
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.
1. Roll the refrigerator into place.
2. The top of the refrigerator should be tilted back by
10mm (see diagram on left).
3. If the refrigerator isn’t tilted back, you can adjust the
two front rollers by turning the large, plastic roller nut.
(see diagram below). One complete turn of the nut
increases the height of the refrigerator by 10mm. If
you have difficulty turning the roller nut, have someone
tilt the refrigerator back, so you have better access.
Alternatively, you can access the rollers from the side,
using a flat screwdriver. (See diagram below).
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.
Installing your refrigerator
Your new refrigerator should arrive with the front adjustable
rollers wound down, to tilt the top backwards by about
10mm from upright. This will allow your freezer drawer
to self-close, providing a consistent closed seal.

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

5. After you have tried Step 3 and 4, and still 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 rear roller.
6. On certain floor surfaces the refrigerator may roll
forward during operation. Where provided a “Roller
Stop” can be placed under the front rollers. If roller
stop is required, please contact Customer Service
(details on back page) and quote part no. 1448845.

INSTALLING YOUR NEW APPLIANCE
7. You may now need to fine-tune the installation by
repeating Steps 3, 4 and 5.
8. Clean your refrigerator thoroughly following the
instructions on page 18 and wipe off any dust that has
accumulated during shipping.
9. 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.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed your
new refrigerator.
INITIAL START-UP
Refrigerators work by transferring heat from the food inside
to the outside air. This operation makes the back and sides
of the refrigerator (particularly at start-up) feel warm/hot –
which is normal.
A cooling coil is located behind the rear wall of the freezer
section. This coil cools and removes moisture from the
air inside.
Avoid placing food against the air vents in the refrigerator,
as it affects efficient circulation of the air inside the
compartment. 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. 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
• A clicking noise, prior to compressor start-up
• Air purging in the water line.

ICE & WATER INSTALL ATION
WARNING!
Connect to potable water supply only
The external water filter kit
An external water filter and connection kit has been
supplied for use with your Ice & Water refrigerator.
The external filter design allows more space within the
refrigerator and provides double the life of previous filters
reducing the cost of replacement.
The filter is designed to significantly reduce chlorine, taste,
odour, heavy metals, turbidity (cloudiness) and scale
build up. The included plastic water tube allows quick
connection to the filter and is designed for high durability
and kink resistance.
This filter is designed only to be used with a potable
water supply. It should not be used on water that is micro
biologically unsafe or with water of unknown quality. The
filter should be replaced every 12 months. 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.

Please read before beginning installation
The water connection to your ice and water product can
be self-installed. It is recommended that you seek advice
from a licensed plumber (if necessary) before commencing
the installation.
CAUTION!
Your warranty may be voided by an incorrect
installation
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.
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 house hold taps
and fast acting valves on appliances. The refrigerator water
valve is pre-fitted with a push-fit connector for inserting the
water tube. Where the tap connection is other than 1/2”
adapters can be purchased from plumbing supply stores
or good hardware stores.
1 x water filter with push fit connections
2 x mounting brackets and screws
4 + 1 metres of water tubing
1 x 1/2” tap fitting
2 x circlips
Water filter
Locate the water filter as close as possible to the water
supply tap in a vertical position where possible. The filter
will need to be replaced every 12 months to prevent
excess filtered micro-organism build-up, and thus ensure
continuous purified water and ice supply for you and
your family. Replacement water filters are available from
Electrolux Home Products Spare Parts Centres and can
be posted to you for your convenience (refer to back page
for contact details).
CAUTION!
If the appliance is not connected to a water supply
ensure that the ice maker is switched off (refer to
STEP 1 overleaf). If you don’t do this a loud buzzing
noise will be heard intermittently. The new hose-sets
supplied with the appliance must be used and old
hose-sets should not be reused. Do not use with
water that is microbiologically unsafe or with water of
unknown quality without adequate disinfection.
Never connect the appliance to a hot water supply.
Never install the water filer in an area of the wall
where there may be electrical wires and / or water
supply pipes.
