ICE & WATER INSTALLATION
Step 15.
Using a large container run the water dispenser to clear
air from lines. This may take a few minutes. Purge and
dispense a minimum of 2 litres of water. Initial water may
be black in colour. This is residual carbon dust from the
filter and is non-toxic. If the water is slow to shut off or
the dispenser is dripping, air may still be 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.
Step 16.
Switch ON Ice Maker.
Step 17.
After 24 hours remove ice bin and dispose of first few
batches of ice to ensure that impurities have been flushed
from the system.
Tips and Useful Information
Ensure that taps are turned off when replacing and fitting
filters. Remember to turn the taps back on when filter
fitting is complete.
Always fit filter as per manufacturer's instructions, paying
special attention to water flow direction.
If you need to replace water tube, only use approved
water quality piping that meets the pressure requirements.
Do not allow the water tubing to become kinked
or trapped under the refrigerator when moving the
refrigerator back into position.
Make sure your refrigerator is level to avoid uneven ice
cubes.
After installation, run the water dispenser for a few
minutes to remove carbon dust and to ensure that all air
bubbles have been purged from the tubing. Dripping may
occur if air bubbles remain in the tube.
Replace filter at suggested intervals to avoid water/ice
reduction and irregularities in taste.
Remove and clean ice bin once a month, discarding
unused ice cubes. This will ensure fresh, clean ice and
smooth operation of your ice maker.
Clean and empty the dispenser drip tray regularly to avoid
overflow.
As the water cut off is not instant, leave glass under
dispenser briefly until water has stopped flowing to
avoid spills.
If you have not used the dispenser for some time:
• Discard the first seven or eight cups of water
• Discard any ice that the ice maker produces in the
first 24 hours (contaminants could have settled in
the water pipes).
