INSTALLING YOUR NEW
REFRIGERATOR
Unpacking
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.
For optimal performance the ambient temperature should be between 10°C and 43°C.
Put the refrigerator in a dry place avoiding areas of high moisture or humidity.
Ensure the refrigerator is located on an even surface.
Adequate ventilation around your refrigerator
The diagram below shows the recommended airspace to allow for ventilation of your refrigerator.

Installing your refrigerator
1.Roll the refrigerator into place.
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. Before moving your refrigerator ensure the adjusting nuts are fully wound up off the floor.
2.Using spanner supplied, wind the large height adjusting nuts under door hinges down until the refrigerator is tilted back by 10 – 15mm (see diagram) and the cabinet is stable. If you have difficulty winding the nut or height adjusting foot down,
have someone tilt the refrigerator back so you have better access.
10–15mm

Note: 10mm clearance at the top of the cabinet is once the cabinet is tilted back and in it's final location.
Allow a 250 – 350mm minimum clearance on the hinge side of the doors, if you place the refrigerator next to the wall. This will make cleaning easier.
Make sure that cupboards or fixtures do not stick out further than the refrigerator cabinet.
3.Check the alignment of the refrigerator to the surrounding cupboards to see if it is level. You can adjust the level as detailed in step 2.
4.If you find your refrigerator rocks from corner to corner, it means your floor is uneven. Find a piece of plastic or hardboard etc. and pack it firmly under the foot.
5.You may now need to fine-tune the installation by repeating steps 2, 3 and 4.

– even gap
Top of refigerator is level – horizontal
Adjust front feet for unevenness of floor e.g. adjust this foot down. Packing may be required underneath the rear roller to ensure stability.
Centre roller
6.Plug your refrigerator straight into its own power point and never use a double adapter.
7.Before you put any food in your refrigerator, it’s recommended you leave it on for 2 or 3 hours to check it is running properly.
Fitting the handles
ICE AND WATER INSTALLATION
WARNING
Connect to potable water supply only.
The new hose-sets supplied with the appliance 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 disenfection.
Water Filter
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).
Contents of installation kit
The handles are supplied prepackaged inside your refrigerator and will require fitting. Refer to the instructions provided in the pack.
Adjusting door alignment
The doors can be aligned by adjusting the right hand door up or down by turning the adjustable bolt under the hinge using the spanner provided.
Door alignment
Adjusting bolt
1.Loosen lock nut
2.Turn adjusting bolt until doors are aligned
3.Tighten lock nut
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.
Fitting the handles
The handles are supplied prepackaged inside your refrigerator and will require tting. Refer to the instructions provided in the pack.
4 metres of water tubing
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. 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.
