Installation instructions
14
Connecting your water filter cartridge
Ensure the refrigerator is not plugged into a power supply.
1
Locate isolation tap for water connection – cold water feed
2
only (dishwasher or sink mixer taps). Tee and tap fitting
not supplied.
Connect the short 200 mm (8") tubing to the outlet of the
3
PRV (blue collet) and the inlet connection of the water
filter cartridge (refer to Diagram 1). Gently pull on both
ends to ensure it is locked.
Connect the long 6 mm (¼") tubing to the outlet of the
4
water filter cartridge (refer to Diagram 2). Gently pull to
ensure it is locked.
Measure the required length of tubing to run from the PRV
5
to the water connection point (no less than 250 mm (10")).
Cut from the long tube making sure the ends are square
6
and clean.
Connect the tubing to the tap connection and the
7
base of the PRV (white collet) and then to the tap
(refer to Diagram 3). Take care not to over-tighten the
tap connection. Please note that the tap connection
supplied should fit most installation situations.
Connect one locking key to each side of the water
8
filter cartridge in between the cartridge and the
locking collet (refer to Diagram 4).
To flush the water filter of any trapped air, harmless
9
carbon fines and to also check for leaks, aim the end of the
tubing into a bucket, turn isolating tap on and run at least
10 litres (10 qt) of water through. Once complete, turn
isolating tap off.
Locate desired position for water filter noting carefully the
10
following points:
It is recommended to fit the water filter in a vertical
■ ■
orientation with the water filter head at the top. This
will minimise water leakage when replacing cartridge.
Ensure the filter is in a convenient location to access
■ ■
every 6 months for replacement. We suggest that
this location is beside the water filter supply tap in a
cupboard beside the refrigerator.
A minimum clearance of 64 mm (2 ½") from the
■ ■
bottom of the filter cartridge is required to perform
cartridge removal.
Do not screw the water filter to the refrigerator.
■ ■
Attach double sided foam to the back of the water filter
11
head (refer to Diagram 5). Write the date to be replaced on
the filter (date installed + 6 months). Remove double sided
foam backing and attach filter to the desired position as
located in step 10 (refer to previous page).
Run the 6 mm (¼") tubing to the back of the refrigerator
12
ensuring there is enough tubing to pull the refrigerator
out for service.
