INSTALLING YOUR NEW APPLIANCE
Adequate ventilation around your refrigerator.
The diagram below shows the recommended airspace to
allow for ventilation of your refrigerator.
If 5 mm side clearance, the fridge cabinet must sit at least
5mm proud of kitchen cabinetry for doors to open. A 5
mm side clearance requires 50 mm rear clearance and
50–90mm clearance above. If you don’t have a cupboard
with a rear gap, the recommended clearance area on
top increases from 50mm to 72mm (x) and from 32mm to
90mm (y). When positioned in a corner area, spacing of
at least 300mm on the sides will allow the doors to open
enough to enable the removal of bins and shelves.
Diagram 2
300mm300mm
NOTE: Doors are designed to sit proud of cabinetry (not
flush). The clearances shown above are the recommended
minimum clearances. The clearance at the rear must not
exceed 75mm.
Installing your refrigerator
Your new refrigerator should arrive with the front adjustable
rollers wound down, to tilt the top backwards by about
10mm from upright. This will allow your freezer drawer
to self-close, providing a consistent closed seal.
Height adjustable
front rollers Fixed rear rollers
10 -15mm
CAUTION
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.
1. Roll the refrigerator into place.
2. If the refrigerator isn’t tilted back, you can adjust the
two front rollers by turning the large, plastic roller nut.
(see diagram below). One turn of the nut increases
the height of the refrigerator by 10mm. If you have
difficulty turning the roller nut, have someone tilt
the refrigerator back, so you have better access.

8 Initial start-up
Congratulations! You have successfully installed your new
refrigerator.
Refrigerators work by transferring heat from the food inside
to the outside air. This operation makes the back and sides
of the refrigerator (particularly at start-up) feel warm – which
is normal.
A cooling coil is located behind the rear wall of the freezer
section. This coil cools and removes moisture from the air
inside.
Avoid placing food against the air vents in the refrigerator,
as it affects the 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. These sounds simply indicate your
refrigerator is working how it should. They include:
• Compressor running noises;
• Air movement noise from the small fan motor;
• A gurgling sound, similar to water boiling;
• A popping noise, heard during automatic defrosting;
and
• A clicking noise, prior to compressor start-up.
INITIAL START-UP

Ice and water installation 9
Please read before beginning installation
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 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 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 as close as possible to the water
supply tap in a vertical position 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).
CAUTION
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 filer in an area of the wall where
there may be electrical wires and / or water supply pipes.
WARNING
Connect to potable water supply only
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.

Tips and useful information
Ensure that taps are turned off when replacing and fitting
filters. Remember to turn the taps back on when filter fitting
is complete.
Always fit filter as per manufacturer’s instructions, paying
special attention to water flow direction.
If you need to replace water tube, only use approved water
quality piping that meets the pressure requirements.
Do not allow the water tubing to become kinked or trapped
under the refrigerator when moving the refrigerator back
into position.
Make sure your refrigerator is level to avoid uneven ice
cubes.
After installation, run the water dispenser for a few minutes
to remove carbon dust and to ensure that all air bubbles
have been purged from the tubing. Dripping may occur if
air bubbles remain in the tube.
Replace filter at suggested intervals to avoid water/ice
reduction and irregularities in taste.
Remove and clean ice bin once a month, discarding
unused ice cubes. This will ensure fresh, clean ice and
smooth operation of your ice maker.
Clean and empty the dispenser drip tray regularly to avoid
overflow.
As the water cut off is not instant, leave glass under
dispenser briefly until water has stopped flowing to
avoid spills.
CAUTION
If you have not used the dispenser for some time
discard the first seven or eight cups of waterand any ice that
the ice maker produces in the first 24 hours (contaminants
could have settled in the water pipes).
Step 15.
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.
Step 16.
Switch ON Ice Maker.
Step 17.
After 24 hours remove ice bin and dispose of first few
batches of ice to ensure that impurities have been flushed
from the system.
ICE AND WATER INSTALLATION

Using your electronic controls 13
The electronic display panel consists of an LCD display with
blue backlighting. When the power is first turned on, the
display, with backlighting, will activate.
If no buttons have been pressed and the fridge door is
closed the backlighting will turn off after 30 seconds.
Controlling the temperature
We recommend that when you start your refrigerator for
the first time, the temperature for the refrigerator is set to
3°C and the freezer to -18°C. If you want to change the
temperature, follow the instructions below. Make only
small adjustments and wait 24 hours to see if it’s correct.
Checking the softness of ice cream is a good indication
if your freezer is the right temperature, while feeling the
coldness of water kept in the refrigerator is a good way
of checking the temperature of the food compartment.
NOTE: When you set a temperature, you set an average
temperature for the whole refrigerator cabinet. 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.
If no button has been pressed for some time there may be a
delay of up to 2 seconds before the display responds, this
is normal and is a part of the display design to reduce the
chance of accidental changes.
Changing the freezer temperature
Press the Fridge/freezer button until the freezer
compartment is illuminated on the refrigerator icon. Use
the ‘–’ and ‘+’ buttons to the left and right of the display to

simply press the Modes button again until the Quick freeze
icon disappears and the refrigerator will return to
normal operation.
Freezer temperature alarm
If the alarm sounds for no apparent reason, check whether
anything is keeping the door open. If the freezer becomes
too warm due to the freezer door being left open or warm
food being placed too close to the temperature sensor, a
buzzer will sound.
If the freezer temperature alarm sounds, press any button to
disable the alarm.
Make sure nothing is holding the freezer door open and
move any warm food away from the temperature sensor. If
the freezer is still too warm after 50 minutes, the alarm will
sound again, indicating that something may be wrong with
the refrigerator.
NOTE: The freezer temperature alarm can be reset for
12 hours by holding the alarm reset button continuously for
10 seconds.

USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
This section tells you how to make the most of the many
useful features - cleaning instructions can be found on
page 18.
SpillSafe™ glass shelves
Spillsafe™ glass shelves keep spills on the shelf. A shelf
retaining system minimises accidental movement of shelves
and they can be adjusted to various heights. Spillsafe™
glass shelves are not to be used as slide out shelves. To
remove the shelves, gently pull them forward until the shelf
comes out.

the operation of the slide.

18 Care and Maintenance
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
LED lighting
CAUTION
Your refrigerator 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, it’s service agent or
similarly qualified technician. Refer to the warranty page for
contact details.
When the door is left open for 15 minutes, the LED light
will dim to 50% brightness to conserve energy and prolong
the life of the LED. If the door is left open for a further 15
minutes, the light will automatically turn off. Close and
reopen the door again to turn the light back on.
Deodoriser
Your appliance is fitted with a deodoriser to assist with the
removal of food odours inside your appliance. Odours
are removed by absorption through the filter by the normal
operation of the appliance. Keeping food covered and
wrapping food with plastic wrap will also help to reduce
the odours inside your appliance.
Cleaning the appliance
WARNING
Before cleaning: Turn appliance off at the power point, then
remove power cord from socket. This will make sure there is
no chance of getting an electric shock.
• Doors – stainless steel
This stainless steel has a special advanced protective
coating that eases the removal of marks such as
finger prints and water spots. To keep your stainless
steel appliance looking at its best, you should clean it
regularly. You should only clean the stainless steel doors
with luke-warm soapy water and a soft cloth, rinsing
with clean water and then wipe the surface with clean
water and a soft clean cloth to remove soap residue.
• Doors - cabinet & painted doors
An occasional wipe over with a clean, damp cloth will
help remove finger marks. You should only clean the
doors with lukewarm, soapy water and a soft cloth.
Rinse with clean water and then wipe the surface with a
soft, clean cloth to remove any soapy residue.
NOTE: Only wash plastic parts or decorative trim with
warm (not hot) water using an unscented detergent.
CAUTION
Do not use stainless steel cleaners, abrasive pads or other
cleaners as they are likely to scratch the surface. Damage to
this product after delivery is not covered by your warranty.
• Interior
You should clean the appliance interior regularly. It will
be easiest to clean when the food supply is low. Wash
the interior with a soft cloth and use an unscented mild
soap with lukewarm water. Thoroughly dry all surfaces
and removable parts. Avoid getting water on appliance
controls. If you have taken out any removable parts,
replace them and switch the power on before re-
stocking the appliance with food. Naturally, you should
keep the interior of your appliance hygienic by promptly
and thoroughly wiping up any food spills.
Do not use a steam cleaner. If live components come
into contact with condensing steam, they may short-
circuit or cause an electric shock.
• Door seals
Take care to keep door seals clean. Sticky food and
drink can cause seals to stick to the cabinet and tear
when you open the door. Wash seal with a mild
detergent and warm water. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
CAUTION
Never use hot water, solvents, commercial kitchen cleaners,
aerosol cleaners, metal polishes, caustic or abrasive
cleaners, or scourers to clean this appliance, as they will
damage it. Many commercially available cleaning products
and detergents contain solvents that will damage your
refrigerator. When cleaning, use only a soft cloth with
an unscented mild soap and lukewarm water.

Troubleshooting 19
If you think something may be wrong with your refrigerator, you can carry out some easy checks before calling for service.
You may locate the problem, sparing yourself from inconvenience, saving time and money.
problem solution
Refrigerator is not
operating
• Check that the power cord is plugged into the power outlet properly and that the outlet is switched ‘ON’.
• Try running another appliance from the power outlet. If no power is coming from the outlet you may have
blown a fuse or tripped a circuit of your household power supply.
• Try adjusting the temperature control to a slightly “colder” position.
• It is normal for the freezer fan NOT to operate during the automatic defrost cycle, or for a short time after the
appliance is switched on.
When there is
refrigerator/freezer
noise
Modern refrigerators/freezers with increased storage capacity use high speed compressors. These can provide
a seemingly high level of sound which is quite normal. Normal operational sounds include:
• Occasional gurgling, similar to water boiling.
• Air ow noise (air circulates because of a small fan).
• A popping noise heard during automatic defrost.
• A clicking noise heard just before the compressor starts (this is just the automatic switching action of the
temperature control, turning the compressor on or off).
Other strange sounds may mean that you need to check and take action. For example, noises may mean that:
• The cabinet is not level.
• The oor is uneven or weak.
• Bottles are badly placed and rattling.
• There are vibrations from an object on top of or behind or beside the refrigerator.
• The back of the refrigerator cabinet is touching the wall.
Remember it is quite normal for noise to seem louder just after the refrigerator
starts operating.
If there are odours
inside the refrigerator
• The interior may need cleaning.
• Some foods produce odours.
• Some containers and wrapping can cause odours.
• Ask yourself if the odour started about the same time you started storing something unusual.
When the motor
seems to run more than
expected
Your new refrigerator has a large fridge and freezer section to keep cool. So it is normal to frequently hear the sound
of the motor. However, to keep operation to a minimum check the following:
• Are doors kept open too long or too often?
• Are controls set too cold? See ‘Controlling the temperature’ on pages 11.
• Have large amounts of warm food just recently been stored? Summer, festive seasons and holidays usually mean a
lot more work for your refrigerator.
• If the day is hot or the room is very warm, the refrigerator will need to run more than normal.
• The refrigerator will run more that normal just after you install it or when it has been turned off for a long time.
If the temperature in the
refrigerator is too warm
• Check that the appliance has enough clearance at the sides, back and top.
Refer to the installation instructions on page 7.
• Refer to ‘Controlling the temperature’ on pages 11.
• You may have kept the door open too long or too frequently.
• Food containers or packaging may be holding a door open.
If the temperature in the
refrigerator is too cold
• Refer to ‘Controlling the temperature’ on page 11.
• Increase the temperature to avoid high energy consumption.
If heavy frosting occurs
in the freezer
Make sure you fully close the freezer and fridge doors. If the doors are left open, a heavy frost will coat the inside of
the freezer. If a frost develops, remove it and take care to properly close the doors.
If water drips on the
oor
The defrost water tray, (located at the back or underneath of the cabinet) may not be properly positioned, or the drain
tube may not be properly positioned to direct water into this tray. You may need to pull the refrigerator away from the
wall to check the tray and tube.
Fridge does not exit
holiday mode
Turn appliance off at the power point. Leave off for three (3) minutes for the memory to clear, then turn back on.
If the doors will not close • Check whether the top of the refrigerator is tilted back 10-15mm to allowthe doors to self close.
• Check whether something is holding the door open.
It is normal for the french doors to momentarily open and re-close when the food storage compartment door is closed.
If the french doors stay open, the refrigerator needs to be tilted backwards a little further. If you call a service person to
solve this problem you will be charged for the cost of the service call, this is not a warranty fault.
Check bins are positioned correctly on slides after cleaning.
