The refrigerator should arrive with the front rollers wound
down. We recommend that the appliance be tilted
backwards by about 10 to 15 millimetres, this will allow
the doors to self close providing a consistent door seal.
To do this follow the instructions below.

When you want to install your appliance, take the
following steps.
1. Roll the refrigerator into it’s final position.

to take the weight of the appliance off the front rollers.
This will increase or decrease the height of the rollers.
One turn of the nut will change the tilt of the refrigerator
by approximately 10mm.
3. If the cabinet is level, then the side walls should be plumb
or vertical. If the cabinet is built in or partly built in check
the alignment of the cabinet side against the cupboard.

1. Please remove all internal packaging material before use.
Any glue or tape residue or the like should be removed
with a solution of mild detergent and water.
2. Clean your appliance thoroughly following the instructions
on page 19 and wipe off any dust that has accumulated
during shipping.
WARNING
Before cleaning: Remove the power cord from the power
socket. This will make sure there is no chance of getting
an electric shock.
3. Install accessories such as the ice cube storage bin.
The accessories are packed together to prevent damage
during delivery.
4. Plug your appliance into the power point.
5. We recommend that you let your refrigerator run for two
to three hours before you put any food in it. This will
allow you to check that it is operating properly and that
enough cool air is circulating.

CAUTION
The water connection to your ice and water product
should only be done by a licensed refrigeration mechanic,
plumber or electrician.
All relevant information regarding the water connection is
detailed in the water kit provided with your product for use
by the professional installer only.
The automatic ice and water dispenser needs a drinkable
water supply with a pressure of:
• Minimum206kPa(30psi,2.11kgf/cm²)
• Maximum689kPa(100psi,7.04kgf/cm²)
In some areas water pressure is significantly higher due to
local conditions. In such areas a pressure reducing valve
must be used. Ensure your plumber or installer checks your
water pressure when installing your refrigerator.
If you are using your refrigerator for the first time, or if you
have not used the dispenser for some time:
• Discardthefirstsevenoreightcupsofwater
• Discardanyicethattheicemakerproducesinthe
first 24 hours (contaminants could have settled in the
water pipes)
The water tap can be anywhere and there is no limit to
the amount of pipe between the tap and the refrigerator,
however, some points to note are:
1. It is better to have the tap accessible without having
to roll the refrigerator forward, so we recommend
putting it outside the cavity as shown by the taps
in the diagram below.
2. It is recommended, but not essential that the height
of the tap should be 400mm from the ground.
3. If the refrigerator is required to be pulled forward for
cleaning, the water pipe may need to be removed
from the tap.

If the ice maker is not connected to a water supply,
check that the ice maker is turned off. To do this remove
the ice cream shelf and put the switch in the ‘OFF’ position.
If you don’t do this a loud buzzing noise will be heard
intermittently if the icemaker is on but no water is being
supplied. If the ice maker is connected to a water supply,
check that the ice maker is turned on. To do this put the
switch in the ‘ON’ position.
ONOFF
WARNING
Connect to potable water supply only.Do not use the ice chute
as a handle when removing or replacing the ice storage bin.
Do not put fingers up the ice chute. Surfaces there may be sharp.

It is normal for the rear, sides and centre mullion of the
appliance to feel warm. These areas are warm because
the appliance transfers heat from the food placed inside
to the outside air.
There is a cooling coil located behind the rear wall of
the freezer section. This coil cools and removes moisture
from the air. A fan at the rear of the freezer section then
circulates cold, dry air throughout the refrigerator. The air
circulation means that foods are refrigerated far more quickly
than in refrigerators where there is less air circulation. Avoid
placing food against air outlets as this will affect air circulation.
A light frosting will occasionally occur on the interior of the
freezer when the door is opened frequently. This is normal
and will disappear after a few days in most climates.
Makesureyoufullyclosethefreezerdoorafteryouload
or remove food. If the door is left partly open, a heavy
frost will coat the inside of the freezer. If a frost develops,
remove it. Take care to properly close the door and the
frost will not reoccur.
Your new energy efficient appliance uses a high-speed
compressor and other energy efficient components which
may produce different noises to your old appliance.
These sounds are normal and include:
• Compressorrunningnoise.
• Airmovementnoisefromthesmallfanmotor.

Avoid loading food against your freezer temperature sensor.
Doing so may adversely affect freezer temperatures. If warm
food is inadvertently loaded against the sensor, it may also
set off the freezer temperature alarm up to 50 minutes after
the food is loaded against the sensor.
NOTE: Product illustrations demonstrate features that
may not be completely in line with all current products.

Your appliance has been designed with energy efficiency
in mind and can operate in any of three modes (normal,
eco, vacation), depending on the level of efficiency sought.
 
This is the mode which is entered automatically when the

Eco mode is a more efficient mode than normal mode
and can be entered in two ways. Either by manually
pressing the eco/vacation button once when in normal
mode, or automatically after 30 hours if the refrigerator
door has not been opened. The leaf icon will appear
on the electronic display when eco mode is activated.
If eco mode is entered automatically, the appliance
will revert to normal mode once the refrigerator door
is opened. If eco mode is entered manually, door
openings will not cause the display to revert to normal
mode. To exit eco mode, press the eco/vacation
button twice (or until there are no icons displayed).

CAUTION
Eco mode is designed to operate with minimum door
opening (e.g. if used as a long term storage fridge).
If turned on manually, it won’t switch off automatically and
frequent door opening in eco mode could lead to food
spoilage. If frequent door opening is likely to occur switch

To provide the convenience of filtered water in the same
location as the ice dispenser, it is necessary to route the
tubes from the refrigerator compartment. This means the first
half glass of water will not be quite as cold as the following
3 or 4 glasses. If you require cool water from the first glass,
we recommend that you first add crushed or cubed ice to
your glass then the water. In times of high use, water may
be dispensed before it has time to cool. Once this occurs,
the dispensed water temperature will be similar to that of
your normal tap water until the tank has had a chance to
re-cool. The addition of cubed or crushed ice will allow

The ice maker and ice container are located in the top of
the freezer compartment. After the refrigerator is installed
properly and has cooled for several hours, the ice maker
can begin making ice and the first batch will be ready
within 24 hours. A full tray of ice may not be created for
the first few batches, due to air in the refrigerator’s new
plumbing lines. To begin ice production, switch the switch
to the ON position. If no ice is dispensed it will take about
2 days to fill the storage container. The ice maker turns
off automatically when the ice container is full. To stop
ice production, turn the switch to the OFF position (see
diagram on page 8). The first batches of ice cubes may be
discoloured or have an odd flavour, due to the refrigerator’s
new plumbing connections. Discard this ice until batches
are free of discolouration or taste problems.

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

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.

The water filter is fitted with Super Speed fit Fittings for
ease of installation and replacement. To replace the filter;
1. Turn off the water supply.
2. Release the pressure in the water lines by holding
a container against the water dispenser paddle on
the refrigerator until the pressure has been released.
3. Turn off the refrigerator at the power point and remove
the plug from the socket or turn off the icemaker.
4. Depress the collet (see diagram below) and pull the
tube out of each end of the filter.
5. Refit the tubes into the new filter to the stops (about 15mm).
Ensure that you observe the flow direction. Write the
fitment date in the space provided on the filter.
6. Gently pull back on the tube to ensure that it is secure.
7. Turn the water supply back on and check for leaks.
8. Plug the unit back in and turn the power supply back on to the
refrigerator and ensure that the icemaker is turned back on.
9. Purge and dispose of approximately 5 litres of water
through the water dispenser to condition the filter and
clear the water lines of air and impurities. It may take
up to a minute to get a full flow of water from the
dispenser. Do not be alarmed if there is an initial black
colour to the water. This is residual carbon dust from the
filter and is non-toxic.
10. Once the lines have been purged, dispose of the first
few batches of ice to ensure that impurities have been
flushed from this part of the system.

You should clean the refrigerator 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 refrigerator
controls. If you have taken out any removable parts,
replace them and switch the power on before restocking
the refrigerator with food. You should keep the interior
of your refrigerator hygienic by promptly and thoroughly
wiping up any food spills.

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 the seal with a mild detergent and
warm water. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry.
CAUTION
Never use hot water, solvents, commercial kitchen cleaners,
aerosol cleaners, metal polishes, caustic or abrasive cleaners,

available cleaning products and detergents contain solvents
that will damage your refrigerator. Use only a soft cloth with
an unscented mild soap and lukewarm water.
If your refrigerator has telescopic extension slides, simply wipe
them with a damp cloth to clean them and never immerse
them in water.
