Your refrigerator should be positioned to allow easy access to a counter when removing food. For best use of refrigerator drawers and freezer baskets, the refrigerator should be in a position where both can be fully opened.

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 service agent, to avoid a safety hazard. Refer to the warranty page for contact details.

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.

Cabinet Leveling & Refrigerator Door Alignment (if necessary)

Guidelines for final positioning of your refrigerator:

• All four corners of the cabinet must rest firmly on the floor.

• The front should be slightly elevated to ensure that doors close and seal properly.

• Doors should align with each other and be level.

Most of these conditions can be met by raising or lowering the adjustable front rollers.

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.

Raise

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.

WARNING

CONNECTING THE WATER SUPPLY

To avoid electric shock, which can cause death or severe personal injury, disconnect the refrigerator from electrical power before connecting a water supply line to the refrigerator.

WARNING

To Avoid Property Damage:

A - Adapter ½ to ¼ inch to connect the water supply 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.

outlet

• DO NOT install water supply tubing in areas where temperatures fall below freezing.

• Chemicals from a malfunctioning water softener can damage the ice maker. If your home has a water softening system, ensure the softener is maintained and working properly.

IMPORTANT

Ensure that your water supply line connections comply with all local plumbing codes.

Before Installing the Water Supply Line, You Will Need:

• Basic Tools: adjustable wrench, flat-blade

screwdriver, and PhillipsTM screwdriver

• The water dispenser and automatic ice maker

require a drinkable water supply with a pressure range of between 206kPa and 689kPa (30PSI and 100PSI).

• A water supply to suit a ½” 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.

1. Disconnect the refrigerator from the power source.

2. Attach the adapter (item A above) to the water line, connect the water supply line (item B) to the adapter (item A) while holding the other end of the water supply line in a bucket or sink Turn on the water supply to eliminate air and clean the water supply line. Turn off the water supply.

3. Remove the plastic protector from the refrigerator tube and connect the water supply line (item B) to the refrigerator tube using the connector (item C) as shown in fig. Make sure the tubes are inserted completely into the connections.

4. Wrap excess water supply line behind refrigerator so that it does not vibrate with refrigerator operation. Do not twist the pipe.

5. Turn on the water supply, check that there are no leaks in the connections.

6. Reconnect the refrigerator to the power source.

7. The Ice Maker is factory-switched, within 24 hours your refrigerator will have produced ice, discard the first production.

NOTE: Expect the first ice harvest within first 24 hours of unit operation. To prevent any issues concerning ice production, please ensure that all water lines are primed. See “Priming the water supply system “in the “AUTOMATIC ICE & WATER DISPENSER” section.

WARNING

Connect to potable water supply o

nly. 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.

IMPORTANT

8 electrolux.com.au

Your refrigerator’s water supply system includes several tubing lines, a water filter, and that your water dispenser works properly, this system must be completely filled with water when your refrigerator is first connected to the household water supply line.

Water Filter

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).
