ICE AND WATER MODELS
WARNING
Connect to potable water supply only, if using tank or bore
water in a model with an internal filter 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.
WATER FILTER
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or
with water of unknown quality without adequate
disinfection. 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).

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.
INSTALLATION
Please read before beginning installation.
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.
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 a leak still
occurs, it is recommended to contact a licensed plumber
for advice.
Water is to be connected as per diagrams below.

(except model AFE4227.)
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 the glass under
the dispenser briefly until the water has stopped flowing to
avoid spills.
Clean and empty the dispenser drip tray regularly to avoid
overflow.

USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
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
frost will coat the 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:
Remove the freezer shelf
by lifting the catches on
the right and left underside
of the shelf to release the
shelf then pull the shelf
toward you.
Twist and Serve Ice
Mounting the twist & serve dispenser to the other side of
the freezer.
Insert into the slot at the rear of the shelf Then engage into the front of the shelf
1. Refit the runner into the rear of the shelf on the right
hand side and then engage the front.
2. Fit the carriage by sliding it into the runners until the
front if the carriage engages with the shelf.
3. Refit the ice tray and ice bin.

CAUTION
LED lighting
Your appliance is fitted with long life LED lighting. In the
unlikely event the LED lights should fail, then the LED
lights should be serviced by the manufacturer.
Refer to the warranty page for contact details.
WARNING
Fill the ice cube tray with potable water only.
IMPORTANT
NOTE: When you set a temperature, you set an
average temperature for the whole refrigerator cabinet.
Ensuring that you make only small adjustments and
wait at least 24 hours to see if the new temperature is
correct to your liking.
Checking the softness of ice cream is a good indication
that your freezer is the right temperature, while
checking the temperature of water kept in the
refrigerator is a good way of checking the temperature
of the food compartment.
Temperatures inside each compartment may vary,
depending on how much food you store and where you
place it.
High or low room temperature may also affect the
actual temperature inside the refrigerator.

WARNING
BEFORE CLEANING: Turn the refrigerator off at the power
point and unplug the cord to prevent any chance of
electrocuting yourself.
Your stainless steel refrigerator is manufactured from mark-
resistant 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.
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,
