 ICE AND WATER INSTALLATION

IMPORTANT
• Always fit the filter as per manufacturer’s instructions.
• If you need to replace water tube, only use approved water quality piping that meets the pressure requirements.
• Make sure your refrigerator is level to avoid uneven ice cubes.
• 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.

WARNING
If you have not used the dispenser for some time, discard the first seven or eight cups of water and any ice that the
ice maker produces in the first 24 hours (contaminants could have settled in the water pipes).

Water filter

The water filter is located at the top left side of the fresh food
compartment.

Replacing the water filter

Diagram 1
You should change the water filter every six months to ensure the
highest possible water quality.
If your refrigerator has not been used for a period of time (during
a house move for example), change the filter before reinstalling
the refrigerator.
It is not necessary to turn the water supply off to change the filter.
Be ready to wipe up any small amounts of water released during the
filter replacement.

If you switch off your refrigerator for an extended period,
BEFORE CLEANING: Turn the refrigerator off at the follow these steps to reduce the chances of mould:

of electrocuting yourself. 1. Remove all food.
2. Remove the power plug from the power point.

air circulation.

Stainless Steel:

Your stainless steel refrigerator is manufactured from

mark-resistant stainless steel. This stainless steel has
a special advanced protective coating that eases the
removal of marks such as fingerprints and water spots.
To keep its appearance, clean it regularly with lukewarm
soapy water and a soft cloth.

WARNING
Never use stainless steel cleaners, abrasive pads or other
cleaners that will scratch the surface. Damage to the
appliance after delivery is not covered by your warranty.

Interior

Clean the inside of your refrigerator regularly with a

soft cloth, unscented mild soap and lukewarm water.
Thoroughly dry all surfaces and removable parts and
avoid getting water on the controls. Replace removable
parts, plug power cord in and switch the power on before
returning the food.

Door seals

Always keep door seals clean by washing them with a

mild detergent and warm water, followed by a thorough
drying. Sticky food and drink can cause seals to stick to
the cabinet and tear when you open the door.
Never use hot water, solvents, commercial kitchen
cleaners, aerosol cleaners, metal polishes, caustic or
abrasive cleaners, or scourers to clean your refrigerator.
Many commercially available cleaning products and
detergents contain solvents that will damage your
refrigerator. Use only a soft cloth with an unscented mild
soap and lukewarm water.

WARNING
To clean a crisper or freezer bin with telescopic extension
slides, simply wipe with a damp cloth and warm soapy
water. Never immerse the cover in water, as this could
affect the operation of the slide.

Appliance noise
Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old one didn’t make. Because the sounds are new to you, you
might be concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces, like the floor, walls and cabinets,
can make the sounds seem louder than they actually are. The following describes the kinds of sounds and what may
be making them.
CONCERN WHAT TO DO
Motor noise (compressor) Nothing. This is normal as your new refrigerator uses a high-speed
compressor which switches on and off during operation.
