IMPORTANT
Your refrigerator's water supply system
includes several tubing lines, a water filter, and a
water valve. To ensure that your water
d ispenser works properly,
must be completely filled
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).
