It is imperative the pressure reducing valve (PRV) is fitted prior to the filter. This valve ensures the water will not flow back into the mains from the refrigerator water system. If the PRV is not fitted to the connection line your Ice & Water refrigerator features may not function in some circumstances. - Page 8 Installation instructions Installation instructions: Ensure that refrigerator is not plugged into a power supply. Locate isolation tap for water connection – cold water feed only (dishwasher or sink mixer taps) – if you can’t find the connection tap, contact an authorised plumber in your state or town to fit your water connection.
- Page 9 Turn isolating tap on and check that all connections are dry and free of drips. If not, please alert the plumber. Coil water line tubing behind the fridge. Push your refrigerator into place being careful not to kink or squash the water line running into the water (solenoid) valve.

All the water to your fridge is filtered to remove impurities through a cartridge located in a position of your choice outside the refrigerator. Of course, this will need changing approximately every 6 months or up to 2800 L (740 gallons) depending on the quality of the incoming water and how much you use the dispenser. - Page 31 Water filter To reset the filter indicator Important! We recommend the water filter is used from installation. Do not reset monitor before filter is changed or filter monitoring will be inaccurate.
