Cabinet Leveling & Refrigerator Door Alignment (if necessary

• All four corners of the cabinet must rest firmly on the floor
• The front should be slightly elevated to ensure that doors close and seal properly.
• Doors should align with each other and be level.

Most of these conditions can be met by raising or lowering the adjustable front rollers.
To level the cabinet using the front rollers:

1. Lower anti-tip legs until they are both touching the floor. Use a pair of pliers to adjust.
   To raise: turn leg clockwise.
   To lower: turn leg counterclockwise.

2. Ensure both doors are bind-free with their seals touching the cabinet on all four sides and that cabinet is stable.

To make final door height adjustments:

1. Insert Electrolux 10mm wrench into the shaft of the lower hinge.
2. To lower door: turn adjustment screw clockwise.
   To raise door: turn adjustment screw counterclockwise.

Flipper Mullion
Adjust Flipper Mullion for proper connection with the mullion guide by ensuring the flipper mullion is folded and perpendicular to the fresh food door. If the mullion guide is not in the correct position, it could prevent the door from closing completely. Bottom Doors Vertical Alignment
In some cases the bottom doors might be slightly vertically misaligned. To correct this dierence it may be used the C-Shaped Shim supplied with the unit.
The shim must be installed on the bottom hinge of the lower door lifting it to get access of the pin where the shim must be attached, as follows on the images. Connecting the water supply
WARNING
To avoid electric shock, which can cause death or severe personal injury, disconnect the refrigerator from electrical power before connecting a water supply line to the refrigerator.
WARNING
To Avoid Property Damage:

• DO NOT install water supply tubing in areas where temperatures fall below freezing.
• Chemicals from a malfunctioning water softener can damage the ice maker. If your home has a water softening system, ensure the softener is maintained and working properly.

IMPORTANT
Ensure that your water supply line connections comply with all local plumbing codes.
The appliance complies with the relevant backflow prevention requirements specified in AS/NZS 2845.1

Before Installing the Water Supply Line, You Will Need:

• Basic Tools: adjustable wrench, flat-blade screwdriver, and Phillips screwdriver
• 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.
• A water supply to suit a ½” 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.

WARNING
Connect to potable water supply only.
If using tank or bore water 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.
WARNING
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 disinfection.

To Connect Water Supply Line to Ice Maker Inlet Valve
Installation kit supplied with Refrigerator:

A – Adapter ½ to ¼ inch to connect the water supply outlet to the water supply line.
B – Water supply line ¼ inch with 3 meters in length.
C – ¼ inch connector to connect the water supply line to the refrigerator tube.

2. Attach the adapter (item A above) to the water line, connect the water supply line (item B) to the adapter (item A) while holding the other end of the water supply line in a bucket or sink Turn on the water supply to eliminate air and clean the water supply line.
   Turn off the water supply.

3. Remove the plastic protector from the refrigerator tube and connect the water supply line (item B) to the refrigerator tube using the connector (item C) as shown in fig.
   Make sure the tubes are inserted completely into the connections. Lock the tubes in the clamp to keep the correct position

4. Wrap excess water supply line behind refrigerator so that it does not vibrate with refrigerator operation.
   Do not twist the pipe.

5. Turn on the water supply, check that there are no leaks in the connections.

6. Reconnect the refrigerator to the power source.

7. The Ice Maker is factory-switched, within 24 hours your refrigerator will have produced ice, discard the first production. Plastic cap

Note: Expect the first ice harvest within first 24 hours of unit operation. To prevent any issues concerning ice production, please ensure that all water lines are primed.
See “Priming the water supply system “in the “AUTOMATIC ICE & WATER DISPENSER” section.

IMPORTANT
Your refrigerator’s water supply system includes several tubing lines, a water filter, and a water valve. To ensure that your water dispenser works properly, this system must be completely filled with water when your refrigerator is first connected to the household water supply line.

Water Filter
The water filter should not be used on water that is micro biologically unsafe or with water of unknown quality. 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).

USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

AUTOMATIC ICE & WATER DISPENSER
Using the ice maker after installation
Before making ice for the first time, be sure to prime the water supply system. Air in new plumbing lines can result in two or three empty ice maker cycles. Furthermore, if the system is not flushed, the first ice cubes may be discolored or have an odd flavor.

Priming the water supply system
CAUTION
For proper dispenser operation,
recommended water supply pressure should fall between 30 psi and 100 psi. Excessive pressure may cause the system to malfunction.

1. Begin filling the system by pressing and holding a drinking glass against the dispenser.
2. Keep the glass in this position until water comes out of the dispenser. It may take about 1½ minutes.
3. Continue dispensing water for about four minutes to flush the system and plumbing connections of any impurities (stopping to empty the glass as necessary).

Note: The water dispenser has a built-in device that shuts off the water flow after two minutes of continuous use. To reset this shut-off device, simply release the dispenser paddle.
Only the first 750 ml of dispensed water is chilled.

WARNING
Flushing system about 2 minutes after period of non-use exceeding 30 days
Ice maker operation & care
After the refrigerator is installed properly and has cooled for several hours, the ice maker can produce ice within 24 hours. The ice maker will fill the ice bin from the rear.
You must dispense some ice to force the ice forward in the bin. This will allow the bin to fill completely.
Ice Maker and Storage Bin Capacity
This ice maker should produce 1.2 to 1.5 Kg of ice per 24 hours. The ice bin will hold about 1.8 Kg of ice.
Turning the ice maker on and off

IMPORTANT
Your ice maker is turned on at the factory so it can work as soon as you install your refrigerator. If you cannot connect a water supply, set the ice maker’s On/Off feature to Off; otherwise, the ice maker’s fill valve may make a loud chattering noise when it attempts to operate without water.

Ice production is controlled by the ice maker’s On/Off feature on the control panel.
Pressing the On/Off feature turns the ice maker on & off.
Note: The ice maker also has a built-in plastic signal arm that automatically stops ice production when the ice bin is full. This signal arm should not be used to manually stop the ice maker.
IMPORTANT
Turning off the ice maker simply disables ice making. You will still be able to dispense existing ice, and you will still be able to dispense water.
On occasion, unusually small ice cubes may be noticed in the bucket or in dispensed ice.
This could occur in normal operation of the ice maker. If you start seeing these more frequently, it may be an indication of low water pressure, or that the water filter needs to be replaced. As the water filter nears the end of its useful life and becomes clogged with particles, less water is delivered to the ice maker during each cycle. Remember, if it has been six months or longer since you last changed your water filter, replace the water filter with a new one. Poor quality household water may require the filter to be changed
more frequently.

Ice maker/dispenser tips

• If your refrigerator is not connected to a water supply or the water supply is turned off, turn off the ice maker as described in the previous section.

• The following sounds are normal when the ice maker is operating:
  – Motor running
  – Ice dropping into ice bin
  – Water valve opening or closing
  – Running water

• If you need a large quantity of ice at one time, it is best to get cubes directly from the ice bin.

• Ice cubes stored too long may develop an odd flavor. Empty the ice bin as explained below.

• When dispensing cubed ice, it is normal to have a small quantity of little pieces along with the whole cubes.

• To avoid splashing, dispense ice into your container before adding liquids.

• It is normal for ice to fill to the top of the ice bin.

CAUTION
If the water supply to your refrigerator is softened, be sure the softener is properly maintained. Chemicals from a water softener can damage the ice maker.

Cleaning the ice maker
Clean the ice maker and ice bin at regular intervals, especially prior to vacation or moving.

1. Turn off the icemaker.
2. Remove the ice bin by pulling straight out.
3. Empty and carefully clean the ice bin with mild detergent. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners. Do not place in dishwasher. Rinse with clear water.
4. Allow the ice bin to dry completely before placing it back into the freezer.
5. Place ice bin back into position. Turn the ice maker on.

Remove and empty the ice bin if:

• An extended power failure (one hour or longer) causes ice cubes in the ice bin to melt and refreeze together after power is restored, jamming the dispenser mechanism.
• You do not use the ice dispenser frequently. Ice cubes will freeze together in the bin, jamming the dispenser mechanism. Remove the ice bin and shake to loosen the cubes or clean as explained above.

CAUTION
NEVER use an ice pick or similar sharp instrument to break up the ice.
This could damage the ice bin and dispenser mechanism.
To loosen stuck ice, use warm water.
Before replacing the ice bin, make sure it is completely dry.
IMPORTANT
When removing or replacing the ice bin, avoid rotating the auger in the ice bin. If the auger is accidentally rotated, you must realign the auger by turning it in 45 degree turns (see below) until the ice bin fits into place with the drive mechanism. If the auger is not properly aligned when replacing the ice bin, the refrigerator will not dispense ice. The fresh food door also may not close properly causing warm air to leak into the fresh food compartment.

CLEANING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

WARNING
BEFORE CLEANING: Turn the refrigerator off at the power point and unplug the cord to prevent any chance of electrocuting yourself.
Doors and exterior (white and silver):
You should only clean the doors with lukewarm soapy water and a soft cloth.
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, plug power cord in and switch the power on before returning the food.
Door seals
Always keep door seals clean by washing them with a mild detergent and warm water, followed by a thorough drying. Sticky food and drink can cause seals to stick to the cabinet and tear when you open the door.
Never use hot water, solvents, commercial kitchen cleaners, aerosol cleaners, metal polishes, caustic or abrasive cleaners, or scourers to clean your refrigerator. Many commercially 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.

CAUTION
To clean a crisper or freezer bin with telescopic extension slides, simply wipe with a damp cloth and warm soapy water. Never immerse the cover in water, as this could affect the operation of the slide.
Switching off your refrigerator
If you switch off your refrigerator for an extended period, follow these steps to reduce the chances of mould.

1. Remove all food.
2. Remove the power plug from the power point.
3. Thoroughly clean and dry the Interior.
4. Ensure that all the doors are wedged open slightly for air circulation.

CHANGING THE FILTER
Air Filter
The air filter is located in the top center of the fresh food compartment.
Replacing your Air Filter
To ensure optimal filtering of refrigerator odors, you should change the air filter six months (The filter status light on the Touch Panel prompts you to replace the filter after six month)

1. Remove the air filter cover by squeezing the sides of the cover together and removing from liner
2. Remove the old filter and discard it.
3. Unpack the new filter and slide it into the housing. The open face must (carbon media) of the filter should be installed facing the air port (hole) in the multiflow.
4. Replace the air filter cover by squeezing the sides and snapping it back into place.
5. Press and hold the “Reset Air Filter” button on the control panel for three seconds. When the LED turns off, the status has been reset.

Water Filter
Your refrigerator is equipped with a water filtering system. The water filtering system filters all dispensed drinking water, as well as the water used to produce ice. The water filter is located at the top right side of the fresh food compartment.
In general, you should change the water filter every six months to ensure the highest possible water quality. Water filter status on the user interface prompts you to replace the filter after a standard amount of water (750 litres) has flowed through the system.
If your refrigerator has not been used for a period of time (during moving for example), change the filter before reinstalling the refrigerator Note: When ordering your replacement filter, please reorder the same filter type that is currently in your refrigerator.
WARNING
Use the appliance with water filter supplied by Electrolux Home Products Pty Ltd or its authorised service agent only.
For correct operation of this appliance it is essential to observe the manufacturer’s instructions.

Replacing the Water Filter
To Remove: Pull cover towards you and cover will drop down and allow access to filter.
To Reinstall: Push cover up towards liner and then push towards rear of cabinet. Filter cover will snap back into place.
It is not necessary to turn the water supply off to change the filter. Be ready to wipe up any small amounts of water released during the filter replacement.

1. Ensure that the ice maker is turned off
2. Remove the filter by turning anti- clockwise 180˚
3. Slide the old water filter cartridge straight out of the housing and discard it.
4. Unwrap the new filter cartridge and using the alignment guide, slide it gently into filter housing until it stops against the filter connection at the back of the housing.
5. Engage the filter by firmly rotating clockwise until the filter snaps into position (once engaged the filter cannot be rotated further).
6. Press a drinking glass against the water dispenser while checking for any leaks at the filter housing. Any spurts and sputters that occur as the system purges air out of the dispenser system are normal.
7. After filling one glass of water, continue flushing the system for about four minutes.
8. Turn on the ice maker.
9. When the filter has been replaced press and hold the ‘Reset Water Filter’ button for three seconds to reset the filter replace timer.
10. Replace filter cover by pushing up and snapping into place.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Automatic Ice Maker
Ice maker is not making any ice.| • Ice maker is turned off.
• Refrigerator is not connected to water line or water valve is not open.
• The water supply line is kinked.
• The water filter is not seated properly.
• The water filter may be clogged with foreign material.| • Turn on ice maker. For the fresh food ice maker, press ice maker on-off button once.
• Connect the unit to the household water supply and ensure the water valve is open.
•Ensure that the supply line does not kink when the refrigerator is pushed into place against the wall.
• Remove and re-install the water filter. Be sure to seat it fully into the locked position.
• If water dispenses slowly or not at all, or if the filter is six months old or older, it should be replaced.
Ice maker is not making enough ice.| • Ice maker is producing less ice than you expect.
• The water filter may be clogged with foreign material.
• The water supply line is kinked.
• Water pressure is extremely low. Cut-off and cut-on pressures are too low (well systems only).
• Reverse osmosis system is in regenerative phase.| • The ice maker will produce approximately 1 kg of ice every 24 hours depending on usage conditions.
• If water dispenses slower than normal, or if the filter is six months old or older, it should be replaced.
• Ensure that the supply line does not kink when the refrigerator is pushed into place against the wall.
• Have someone turn up the cut-off and cut-on pressure on the water pump system (well systems only).
• It is normal for a reverse osmosis system to be below 137 kPa (20 psi) during the regenerative phase.
Ice cubes are freezing together.| • Ice cubes are not being used frequently enough or interruption of power for prolonged time.
• Ice cubes are hollow (shells of ice with water inside). The hollow cubes break open in the bin and leak their water onto existing ice, which causes it to freeze together.| • Remove ice container and discard ice. The ice maker will produce fresh supply. Ice should be used at least twice weekly to keep the cubes separated.
• This generally occurs when the ice maker does not get enough water. This is usually the result of a clogged water filter or restricted water supply. Replace the water filter and if the condition still occurs, check to see if the water valve is not turned on all the way or if there is a kinked water supply line.
Dispenser (Ice & Water)

NOISES
Appliance noise
Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old one didn’t make. Because the sounds are new to you, you might be concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces, like the floor, walls and cabinets, can make the sounds seem louder than they actually are. The following describes the kinds of sounds and what may be making them.
