zInstallation and use MUST comply with all state and local plumbing codes. Check
with your local public works department for plumbing codes. You must follow their
guidelines as you install the water filtration system.
zIf the water tank has not been used for an extended period of time, or has developed
an unpleasant taste or odour, flush the water system. If the problem persists, replace
the water filter cartridge and refer to the flushing instructions detailed in section
‘Flushing the water filter’.
zTo avoid serious illness or death, only connect your water filter to safe drinking water.
zThe water filter cartridge needs to be changed when the replacement indicator icon
illuminates. This will happen every six months.
zIf the water filtration system has been allowed to freeze, replace filter cartridge.
Failure to replace the disposable filter at recommended intervals may lead to reduced
filter performance and failure of the filter, causing property damage from water
leakage or flooding.
zIn cases of excessively reduced filter life — we recommend that you consult a local
plumber or your water supplier for advice on suitable filtration requirements for the
water supplied to your home.
zFilter replacement is the consumer’s responsibility and will not be covered by the
warranty except in the case of faulty parts or materials within the filter cartridge.
zIf the water has not created ice for some time or ice has an unpleasant taste or
odour dispose of ice and refer to ‘Flushing the water filter’ for flushing instructions. If
unpleasant taste or odour persists, you may wish to fit a new filter cartridge.
zUse new tubing supplied with the refrigerator. DO NOT reuse old tubing from old water
and ice connections.

Information about your ice maker
Your automatic ice maker will produce approximately eight cubes of ice every 3–4hours,
depending on the freezer compartment temperature and the number of door openings.
The ice cube tray will fill with water. When cubes are frozen, they will be ejected from the
ice tray into the ice storage bin. Ice making will continue until the storage bin is full. Ice
making will resume once you start to use the stored ice.
Your Ice & Water product comes with a smaller ice bin inside the larger freezer bin.
Attached to the ice storage bin is the scoop for the ice. This scoop provides hygienic access
to the ice. If a large amount of ice is required, remove an ice storage bin and allow ice to fall
into the larger bin. For maximum ice storage, level the stored cubes with the ice scoop.
If ice is not used often, old cubes will become cloudy, taste stale, will shrink and may
stick together. Empty the ice storage bin periodically and wash in lukewarm water. Dry
thoroughly and place back into the correct position.
Turn your ice maker off if:
zThere is no water supply for several hours.
zYou are removing the ice storage bin for a period of time.
zYou are going on holiday/vacation.
