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 plastics 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.
Ensure the refrigerator is located on an even surface.

WARNING
Connect to potable water supply only. 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.
Never connect the appliance to a hot water supply.
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or
with water of unknown quality without adequate
disinfection.
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

For models with ‘Pole’ handles, the handles are supplied
prepackaged inside your refrigerator and will require fitting.
Refer to the instructions
Congratulations! You have successfully installed your new
refrigerator
provided in the pack.
1 x 1/2” tap fitting
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. If there is a risk of flow rate higher than the
maximum flow rate 2.46 L/min, a flow controller should be
installed. 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 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.
Please read before beginning installation.
INSTALLATION 15
The appliance complies with the relevant backflow
prevention requirements specified in AS/NZS 2845.1.
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.
Step 6.
Reconnect the power.
Step 7.
Move the refrigerator back into place being careful not to kink
or split the tubing.
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 leak still occurs, it
is recommended to contact a licensed plumber for advice.
Water is to be connected as per diagram below.
(WHE5264 shown)
Step 1.
Ensure that the refrigerator is
disconnected from power
supply.
Step 8.
Switch ON Water Dispenser.
By referring to Ice & Water on/off
function on page no.21
Using a large container, run the
water dispenser to clear air from lines. This may take a few
minutes. Purge and dispense a minimum of 2 litres of water.
Initial water may be black in
colour. This is residual carbon dust
from the filter and is non-toxic.
If the water is slow to shut off or
the dispenser is dripping, air may
still be in the lines. Either purge
more water through the system
to remove this air or allow some
time for the air to be removed
over subsequent dispensing. For
normal use, water dispenser will
automatically shut off after 2
minutes of continuous operation.
IMPORTANT
As the water cut off is not instant, leave glass under
dispenser briefly until water has stopped flowing to avoid
spills.
Clean and empty the dispenser drip tray regularly to avoid
overflow.
Flushing system about 2 minutes after period of non-use
exceeding 30 days
Step 2.
Connect tap fitting to water
supply tap. Tap must be close
to the refrigerator.
Step 3.
Push the tube into tap fitting
past insertion mark.
Step 4.
Connect other end of tube to inlet on rear of refrigerator.
Step 5.
Turn on water and check all
joints and tubes for leaks.
Step 9
Switch ON Ice Maker.
Once the refrigerator has been running for at least 24 hours
remove the ice bin and dispose of the first few batches of ice
to ensure that impurities have been flushed from the system.
CAUTION
Water dispenser should not be used for extended periods of
time. After 2 minutes of continuous use the water dispenser
will automatically shut off.
Party Ice
When the Ice Bin is removed from the cabinet the Auto Ice
Maker will continue to dispense ice into the top freezer
drawer.

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.

USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
REMOVING FEATURES 17
REMOVING FEATURES
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 f
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.

CLEANING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
26 CLEANING
WARNING
BEFORE CLEANING: Turn the refrigerator off at the power
point and unplug the cord to prevent any chance of
electrocuting yourself.
Doors and exterior (white and silver):
You should only clean the doors with lukewarm soapy water
and a soft cloth.
Stainless steel and dark stainless
Your stainless steel refrigerator is manufactured from markresistant stainless steel. This stainless steel has a special
advanced protective coating that eases the removal of
marks such as fingerprints and water spots. To keep its
appearance, clean it regularly with lukewarm soapy water
and a soft cloth.
CAUTION
Never use stainless steel cleaners, abrasive pads or other
cleaners that will scratch the surface. Damage to the
appliance after delivery is not covered by your warranty.
Switching off your refrigerator
If you switch off your refrigerator for an extended period,
follow these steps to reduce the chances of mould:
1. Remove all food.
2. Remove the power plug from the power point.
3. Thoroughly clean and dry the Interior.
4. Ensure that all the doors are wedged open slightly for air
circulation.
Interior
Clean the inside of your refrigerator regularly with a soft
cloth, unscented mild soap and lukewarm water.
Thoroughly dry all surfaces and removable parts and avoid
getting water on the controls. Replace removable parts,
plug power cord in and switch the power on before
returning the food.
Door seals
Always keep door seals clean by washing them with a mild
detergent and warm water, followed by a thorough drying.
Sticky food and drink can cause seals to stick to the cabinet
and tear when you open the door.
Never use hot water, solvents, commercial kitchen cleaners,
aerosol cleaners, metal polishes, caustic or abrasive cleaners,
or scourers to clean your refrigerator. Many commercially
available cleaning products and detergents contain solvents
that will damage your refrigerator. Use only a soft cloth with
an unscented mild soap and lukewarm water.
CAUTION
To clean a crisper or freezer bin with telescopic extension
slides, simply wipe with a damp cloth and warm soapy
water. Never immerse the cover in water, as this could affect
the operation of the slide.

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.
CONCERN
Motor noise (compressor)
WHAT TO DO
Nothing. This is normal as your new refrigerator uses a high-speed compressor which
switches on and off during operation.
Note that the compressor noise may seem louder at the start of the on cycle.

A clicking noise heard just before the
compressor starts.
Occasional gurgling, similar to water
boiling.
Airflow noise.
These refrigerators are fitted with a variable speed compressor and fan. At start up and
on warm days they run at a higher speed to provide additional cooling. When less
cooling is required the compressor and fan will run at a lower speed. As a result it is
normal for sound levels to change depending on operating conditions.
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 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.
Rattling and other noises.
Ensure that the cabinet is level and stable, refer to Installation Instructions on P13.
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).

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.
