Connect to potable water supply only
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 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 micro
biologically 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.

Water supply and plumbing
a drinkable water supply to suit a 1/2" tap fitting is
required adjacent to the refrigerator. It is recommended
that a licensed plumber install a new water supply outlet
nearer to the appliance should the tubing supplied not be
long enough. It is not recommended that the tubing be
extended as this could adversely affect the flow of water to
the ice maker or water dispenser.
The water dispenser and automatic ice maker require a
drinkable water supply with a pressure range of between
206kPa and 689kPa (30PSI and 100PSI). If the water
supply is above 100psi a pressure limiting valve should be
installed.
It is recommended that a Noise Reduction Valve also
be fitted in the water supply line. This will reduce water
hammer and its effects from quick action house hold taps
and fast acting valves on appliances. The refrigerator water
valve is pre-fitted with a push-fit connector for inserting the
water tube. Where the tap connection is other than 1/2"
adapters can be purchased from plumbing supply stores
or good hardware stores.
Water filter
Locate the water filter as close as possible to the water
supply tap in a vertical position where possible. The filter
will need to be replaced every 12 months to prevent
excess filtered micro-organism build-up, and thus ensure
continuous purified water and ice supply for you and
your family. Replacement water filters are available from
Electrolux Home Products Spare Parts Centres and can
be posted to you for your convenience (refer to back page
for contact details).
CaUTIon!
If the appliance is not connected to a water supply
ensure that the ice maker is switched off (refer to
STEP 1 overleaf). If you don't do this a loud buzzing
noise will be heard intermittently. The new hose-sets
supplied with the appliance must be used and old
hose-sets should not be reused. Do not use with
water that is microbiologically unsafe or with water of
unknown quality without adequate disinfection.
Never connect the appliance to a hot water supply.
Never install the water filer in an area of the wall
where there may be electrical wires and / or water
supply pipes.
