WARNING

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

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.

NOTE: Doors are designed to sit proud of cabinetry (not flush). The clearances shown above are the recommended minimum clearances.

250mm

Maximum cupboard depth

350mm

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. Wind the large height adjusting nuts under door hinges down until the ref rigerator 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.

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.

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.

Aligned to cupboard – even gap

Centre roller

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.

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

The handles are supplied prepackaged inside your refrigerator and will require fitting. Refer to the instructions provided in the pack.

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

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.

7ICE & WATER INSTALLATION

Please read before beginning installation.

TIPS & INFORMATION

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.

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.

1. Ensure that the refrigerator is disconnected from

power supply.

5. Turn on water and check all joints and tubes for leaks.

6. Reconnect the power.

7. Move the refrigerator back into place being careful not to kink or split the tubing.

8. Switch ON Water Dispenser.

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.

2. Connect tap fitting to water supply tap. Tap must be close to the refrigerator.

3. Push the tube into tap fitting past insertion mark.

4. Connect other end of remaining tube length to inlet

on bottom right hand side of refrigerator.

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.

If you have not used the dispenser for some time, discard the first seven or eight cups of water (contaminants could have settled in the water pipes).

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.
