Ice and Water Installation

Before beginning Installation  

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.
