Installation instructions

Installation instructions:

1 Ensure that refrigerator is not plugged into a power supply.
2 Locate a cold water supply/feed only suitable for a water

connection.]ee & tap fitting is not suppled. If you can't find
the connection faucet, contact an authorized plumber in
your state or town to fit your water connection.

s Connect the 8" (200 ram) blue tubing to the outlet of the

PRV (blue collet) and the inlet connection of the water filter

cartridge as shown in Diagram 1. Gently pull on both ends
to ensure it is locked.

4 Connect the white ¼"(6 ram) tubing to the outlet of the

water filter cartridge as shown in Diagram 2. Gently pull to
ensure it is locked.

5 Measure the required length of tubing to run from the PRV

to the water connection point.
6 Cut the tubing making sure the ends are square and dean.
7 Connect the tubing to the faucet connection and the base

of the PRV (white toilet) and then to the faucet as shown

in Diagram 3. Please note that the faucet connection

supplied should fit most installation situations. If your
faucet requires a different fitting, please contact an
authorized plumber in your state or town to purchase
the correct fitting.

s Connect one locking key to each side of the water

filter cartridge in between the cartridge and the

locking collet as shown in Diagram 4.
To flush the water filter and check for leaks, aim the

end of the tubing into a bucket, turn isolating faucet
on and run at least 3 qt (3 L) of water through. Once
complete, turn isolating faucet off.

lo Locate desired position for water filter noting carefully the

following points:

It is recommended to fit the water filter in a vertical
orientation with the water filter head at the top. This will

minimize water leakage when replacing cartridge.
Ensure the filter is in a convenient location to access

every 6 months for replacement. We suggest that
this location is beside the water filter supply faucet in
a cupboard beside the refrigerator.

A minimum clearance of 2 V£'(64 ram) from the
bottom of the filter cartridge is required to perform

cartridge removal.
Do not screw water filter to refrigerator.

the right hand side of the bin for models E522B and the front of
the bin for model RF201A (refer to FigJ 9 on page 20). If all bins
are removed the ice maker will not operate.

Once your ice maker is in operation, discard the first bin of ice
cubes, This will flush away any impurities in the water line and

ensure that you get the best quality ice. We recommend that you
also do this after vacations or extended periods of not using ice.

We recommend that you turn the ice maker off if:

- The water supply is to be off for several hours or

- The ice storage bin is to be removed for a period of time or

- You are going on holiday/vacation.

information about your ice maker

",,!ourautomatic ice maker will produce approximately eight cubes of ice every 2 - 3 hours,
dependent on freezer compartment temperature and number of door openings,
The ice cube tray will fill with water once the freezer has reached the correct temperature.
The first cubes will normally freeze after several hours,
When cubes are frozen, they will be ejected from the mould into the ice storage bin,

Ice making will continue until the storage bin is full.

Ice making will resume when the ice is used,

For maximum ice storage, level the stored cubes with the ice scoop provide&

Active Smart specia features

Fruit and vegetable bins and humidity control cover

The fruit and vegetable bins feature a unique cover which provides two functions:
The humidity cover seals the bins and provides a humid microdimate to extend storage times
of fruit and vegetables.
The humidity cover prevents condensation, which forms at high humidities, from dripping down
onto the fruit and vegetables. The ability to retain high humidity in the fruit and vegetable bins

may mean small amounts of water will pool in the bottom of the fruit and vegetable bins. This

can be wiped out as required.

Fruit and vegetable bins and humidity slide (where fitted)

Each fruit and vegetable bin has a humidity slide control that can be adjusted to a fruit or

vegetable setting depending on what is stored in the bins.

If possible try to store fruit and vegetables separately. This will help extend their storage life.
If there is a mixture of fruit and vegetables in the bin adiust the position of the control to the

center.

If there is too much water in the bins the control can be adjusted towards the setting with

fewer drips (fruit setting}.

Remember a small amount of water in the bins is beneficial for fruit and vegetable storage.
