INITIAL START Up
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 (LLDPE) 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 microbiologically
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.
To replace the water Filter
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 lines
of 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.
If the water is slow to shut off or the dispenser is dripping,
this indicates that there may still be air 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.

cLEANING THE IcE DISpENSER
Clean the dispenser and ice container at regular intervals,
particularly before you take a vacation or move, also clean
the dispenser if it sticks.
To clean the dispenser:
1. Switch the ice maker switch to the "OFF" position.
2. Remove the ice container by lifting it up and out. Empty
and carefully clean the container with mild detergent.
Rinse carefully ensuring no traces of detergent remain. Do
not use harsh or abrasive cleaners. Allow the ice container
to dry completely before replacing it in the freezer.
3. Remove ice chips from the shelf and chute that support
the ice container; clean these areas.
4. Replace the ice container. Ensure the wire arm sits
within the ice cube container (see diagram below).
5. Turn the ice maker switch back to the "ON" position.
When removing or replacing the ice bin do not rotate the
auger in the ice bin. If the auger is accidentally turned,
you must realign the auger by turning it in 90
the ice bin fits into place with the drive mechanism
Remove and empty the ice storage bin if:
1. An extended power failure (one hour or longer) causes
ice cubes in the ice storage bin to melt and freeze
together and jam the dispenser mechanism.
2. If the ice dispenser is not used frequently, ice cubes
will freeze together in the bin and jam the dispenser
mechanism. If this happens remove the ice storage bin
and shake it to loosen the cubes.

CAUTION
NEVER use an ice pick or similar sharp instrument to
break up the ice. This could damage the ice storage
bin and dispenser mechanism.
