please read:
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.
Contents of the kit are:
1 x water filter with push
fit connections
2 x mounting brackets and
screws
4 + 1 metres of water tubing
1 x 1/2” tap fitting
2 x circlips

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.
The water connection to your ice and water product can
be self-installed. It is recommended that you seek advice
from a licensed plumber (if necessary) before commencing
the installation.
Your warranty may be voided by an incorrect installation
Water Supply and Plumbing
A drinkable water supply to suit a ½” 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. This will reduce water hammer
and its effects from quick action household taps and fast
acting valves on appliances.
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 within 1 metre from 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).
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 filter in an area of the wall where there may
be electrical wires and / or water supply pipes.
