16 ice and water dispenser electrolux side by side refrigeration
Dispenser lamp
The dispenser has a light which can be turned on and off
by pressing the Lamp button on the electronic display (see
Diagram below). The lamp is also activated for 6 seconds
whenever a dispensing paddle is pressed. The light comes
from 6 ultra bright LEDs (Light emitting diodes), which are
part of the electronic display and are not customer replaceable.
How the water dispenser works
After the refrigerator is connected to the water supply, fill the
water tank by holding a glass against the dispenser paddle.
You may need to hold the glass against the paddle for up
to 2 minutes before water begins to flow. Continue to draw
water for a further 3 minutes to rid the tank and plumbing
connections of any impurities, the tank will automatically
refill as you dispense water.
caution
Remember, do not drink this water as it may have impurities in it!
tips and information
The water connection to your ice and water product should
only be done by a licensed refrigeration mechanic, plumber
or electrician.
The water dispenser water tank is located behind the upper
crisper bin in the refrigerator compartment.
Normal Operation – For cool water, add ice.
To provide the convenience of filtered water in the same
location as the ice dispenser, it is necessary to route the
tubes from the refrigerator compartment. This means the
first half glass of water will not be quite as cold as the
following 3 or 4 glasses. If you require cool water from the
first glass, we recommend that you first add crushed or
cubed ice to your glass then the water.
In times of high use, water may be dispensed before it
has time to cool. Once this occurs, the dispensed water
temperature will be similar to that of your normal
tap water until the tank has had a chance to cool.
The addition of cubed or crushed ice will allow you to
still enjoy cool water should this occur.
caution
Chemicals from a malfunctioning softener can damage
the ice maker. If the ice maker is connected to soft water,
ensure that the softener is maintained and working properly.
How the ice dispenser works
The ice maker and ice container are located in the top of
the freezer compartment. After the refrigerator is installed
properly and has cooled for several hours, the ice maker
can begin making ice and the first batch will be ready within
24 hours. A full tray of ice may not be created for the first few
batches, due to air in the refrigerator's new plumbing lines.
To begin ice production pull out the icecream shelf and
switch to the ON position ("I") then replace shelf. If no ice
is dispensed it will take about 2 days to fill the storage
container. The ice maker turns off automatically when the ice
container is full. To stop ice production, turn the switch to
the OFF position ("O") (See diagrams on page 4). The first
batches of ice cubes may be discoloured or have an odd
flavour, due to the refrigerator's new plumbing connections.
Discard this ice until batches are free of discolouration or
taste problems.
