GENERAL 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)

	10mm
5mm	Recommended	10mm	35mm
	minimum airspace	5mm
	CABINET
	DOORS
		Diagram 1

•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)

iNStALLAtioN

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

10 -15mm

Height adjustable	Fixed rear rollers
front rollers

When you want to install your appliance, take the following steps

1. Roll the refrigerator into it’s final position.

WARNING

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

2If the refrigerator is not tilted back you can adjust the two front rollers by adjusting the large plastic roller nut (refer page 11) 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

3If 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

10 installation

GENERAL iNStALLAtioN

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

4If 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

5You 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

Large plastic roller nut
	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.

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

bEfoRE bEGiNNiNG iNStALLAtioN, pLEASE REAd:

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 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

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

water Filter

Locate the water filter within 1 metre of the water supply tap, in a vertical orientation 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)

WARNING

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 filter in an area of the wall where there may be electrical wires and/or water supply pipes Never install the water filter in an area of direct sunlight
