General installation Installation
When correctly installed, your refrigerator should:
• Have adequate clearance to the back, sides and
top for air circulation
• Be aligned to the surrounding cupboards
• Have doors that will self close from a partially
open position
Clearances around your refrigerator
Your side by side refrigerator can be installed between
cupboards or fixtures but you must allow for the following
spaces around the cabinet.
• Allow a minimum of 5 millimetres clearance on
both sides (see diagram 1)
• Allow a minimum of 5 millimetres clearance above
hinge covers (see diagram 1)
• Allow 10 millimetres clearance at the back of the
refrigerator (see diagram 1)

The refrigerator should arrive with the front rollers wound
down. We recommend that the appliance be tilted
backwards by about 10 to 15 millimetres, this will allow
the doors to self close providing a consistent door seal.
To do this follow the instructions below.

Fixed rear rollers
When you want to install your appliance, take the
following steps.
1. Roll the refrigerator into it’s final position.

•
Allow a 250 to 350 millimetre minimum clearance on the
hinge side of the doors, if you place the refrigerator next to
the wall. This will make cleaning easier (refer to diagram 2)
• Make sure that cupboards or fixtures do not stick out
further than the refrigerator cabinet (refer to diagram 2)

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.
2. If the refrigerator is not tilted back you can adjust the
two front rollers by adjusting the large plastic roller nut
(refer to ‘Adjusting door alignment’ section). You may
need two people, one to adjust rollers and one to tilt
the refrigerator slightly back to take the weight of the
appliance off the front rollers.
This will increase or decrease the height of the rollers.
One turn of the nut will change the tilt of the refrigerator
by approximately 5mm.
3. If the cabinet is level, then the side walls should be plumb
or vertical. If the cabinet is built in or partly built in check
the alignment of the cabinet side against the cupboard.
Aligned to cupboard –
even gap
Top of refrigerator
is level – horizontal
Adjust front rollers for
unevenness of floor. e.g.
adjust this roller down.
Packing may be required
underneath the rear roller
to ensure stability.
4. If the appliance now rocks from one corner to the
opposite rear corner, this means that the floor is uneven;
you will need to put some packing under one of the rear
rollers.
5. You may now need to fine-tune the installation by
adjusting the front rollers once again.
Adjusting door alignment
Each door is independently adjustable in the vertical
direction by turning the adjustable bolts under the hinges
using the spanner provided.

Internal packaging
1. Please remove all internal packaging material before
use. Any glue or tape residue or the like should be
removed with a solution of mild detergent and water.
2. Clean your appliance thoroughly following the instructions
in the ‘Cleaning your refrigerator’ section and wipe off any
dust that has accumulated during shipping.
3. It is recommended that the refrigerator is kept upright
at all times. However if for any reason the refrigerator is
laid down, let it stand for a minimum of 1 hour before
turning on.
warning

Front roller
Adjusting bolt
The doors can be adjusted up or down. Depending on the
amount of adjustment required it may be sufficient to adjust
only one door (refer to following diagrams).
NOTE: When the height of the rollers and adjusting bolts
are correctly adjusted the refrigerator will stand firmly on
the floor and the doors will be in line with one another.
Before cleaning: Remove the power cord from the power
socket. This will make sure there is no chance of getting
an electric shock.
4. Install accessories such as the egg tray. The accessories
are packed together to prevent damage during delivery.
5. Plug your appliance into the power point.
6. We recommend that you let your refrigerator run for
two to three hours before you put any food in it. This will
allow you to check that it is operating properly and that
enough cool air is circulating.

Ice & water installation
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.
Contents of kit – install kit with
pressure reducing valve.
DATE FITTED___/___/___
1 x water filter with push fit connections
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 pressure is below 206kPa (30PSI) then a separate
pump will need to 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.
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 hosesets 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 filter in an area of the wall
where there may be electrical wires and/or water
supply pipes.
