Safety

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

General Safety

• Do not store or use gasoline, or other flammable liquids, near this or any

other appliance. Read product labels for warnings regarding flammability and

other hazards.

• Do not operate the refrigerator in the presence of explosive fumes.

• Avoid contact with any moving parts of the automatic ice maker.

• Remove all staples from the carton to avoid cut injuries. Staples can also

damage finishes if they come in contact with other appliances or furniture.

Child Safety

Packing Materials:

• Packing cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads, plastic sheets or stretch

wrap may become airtight chambers and can quickly cause suffocation.

• Destroy or recycle the product’s carton, plastic bags, and any other exterior

wrapping material immediately after the refrigerator is unpacked. Children

should never play with these items.

Child Entrapment And Suffocation:

• These problems are not limited to the past. Whether junked, abandoned or

temporarily stored (even for a few hours), unattended refrigerators and

freezers are dangerous.

ELECTRICAL INFORMATION

• If the power cord is damaged, it should be replaced by the manufacturer,

service technician or a qualified person to prevent any risk.

• Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the

plug firmly, and pull straight out from the receptacle to prevent damaging the

power cord.

• Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and before replacing a light bulb to

avoid electrical shock.

WARNINGWARNING

WARNING

Please read all safety instructions before using your new Electrolux refrigerator.

WARNINGWARNING

WARNING

You must follow these guidelines to ensure that your refrigerator’s safety mechanisms are

operating correctly.

4Safety

• Performance may be affected if the voltage varies by 10% or more. Operating

the refrigerator with insufficient power can damage the compressor. Such

damage is not covered under your warranty.

• Do not plug the unit into an outlet controlled by a wall switch or pull cord to

prevent the refrigerator from being turned off accidentally.

Installation

LOCATION

• Choose a place that is near a grounded electrical outlet. Do Not use an

extension cord or an adapter plug.

• If possible, place the refrigerator out of direct sunlight and away from the

range, dishwasher or other heat sources.

• The refrigerator must be installed on a floor that is level and strong enough to

support a fully loaded refrigerator.

• Consider water supply availability for models equipped with an automatic ice

maker.

CAUTIONUTION

UTIONUTION

UTION

Do Not install the refrigerator where the temperature will drop below 13°C (55°F) or rise

above 43°C (110°F). The compressor will not be able to maintain proper temperatures inside

the refrigerator. Do Not block the toe grille on the lower front of your refrigerator. Sufficient

air circulation is essential for the proper operation of your refrigerator.

Installation

Door Opening

Your refrigerator should be positioned to allow easy access to a counter when

removing food. For best use of drawers and freezer baskets, the refrigerator

should be in a position where both the refrigerator and freezer doors can be fully

opened.

Removing And Replacing The Toe Grille

To remove the toe grille:

1Open freezer and refrigerator compartment doors.

2Remove the screw from each side of the toe grille.

3Pull the toe grille forward and lift it off.

Reverse these instructions to install the toe grille.

Leveling

All four corners of your refrigerator must rest firmly on a solid floor. Your refrigerator

is equipped with adjustable front rollers to help level your unit. To ensure proper

door seal and assist door closing, the refrigerator should be tilted 6 mm (1/4 inch),

front to back.

To level your refrigerator:

1Remove toe grille (see above) to access the front

rollers.

2Adjust the rollers by turning each roller adjustment

bolt with a wrench until the refrigerator is level and

stable.

3Check both doors to be sure seals touch cabinet on all

four sides.

4Replace the toe grille.

Tips:

• If the freezer door is higher than the refrigerator door, raise the right corner

and/or lower the left corner until the doors align across the top of the cabinet.

• If the refrigerator door is higher than the freezer door, raise the left corner

and/or lower the right corner until doors align across the top of the cabinet.

If your refrigerator is placed with the door hinge side against a wall, you may have to allow

additional space so the door can be opened wider.

6Removing The Doors

GETTING THROUGH NARROW SPACES

If your refrigerator will not fit through an entrance area, you can reduce its size by

removing the doors. Check first by measuring the entrance.

Required Tools

You will need the following tools:

To prepare for removing the doors:

1Make sure the electrical power cord is unplugged from the wall outlet.

2Open both doors and remove the toe grille.

3Remove any food from the door shelves.

8Connecting The Water Supply

ABOUT YOUR REFRIGERATOR’S WATER SUPPLY

The automatic ice & water dispenser on your refrigerator requires a permanent

water supply to function correctly. During installation, you (or a service

professional) establish this water supply by connecting a copper tube from your

household water system to a valve at the rear of the refrigerator.

What you will need:

• Access to a cold water line with pressure of 1.4-6.9 bars.

• The water connector kit that comes with your refrigerator, which provides all

materials for a water supply installation, including 7.6 m (25 feet) of copper

tubing.

To connect the water supply to the rear of your

refrigerator:

1Ensure that the refrigerator is not plugged in.

2Flush the supply line until water is clear by placing the

end of the copper tube in a sink or bucket and opening

the shut-off valve.

3Unscrew the plastic cap from the water valve inlet at

the rear of your refrigerator. Discard the cap.

4Slide the brass compression nut, then the ferrule

(sleeve) onto copper tube.

5Push the copper tube into water valve inlet as far as it

will go (6.5mm).

6Slide the ferrule (sleeve) into valve and finger-tighten

the compression nut onto valve. Tighten another half

turn with a wrench. Do not over-tighten.

7Secure the copper tube to your refrigerator’s rear panel

with a steel clamp and screw (see illustration).

CACA

CAUTIONUTION

UTIONUTION

UTION

To avoid property damage:

• Use copper tubing for the water supply line (plastic tubing is more

likely to leak). Manufacturer is not responsible for any damage if

plastic tubing is used for supply line.

• Ensure water supply complies with local plumbing codes.

• For proper dispenser operation, recommended water supply pressure

should fall between 1.4 and 6.9 bars. Excessive pressure may cause

water filter to malfunction.

Connecting The Water Supply

8Coil the excess copper tubing (about 2½ turns) behind your refrigerator as

shown. Arrange coiled tubing to avoid vibration or wear against other

surfaces.

9Open water supply shut-off valve and tighten any connections that leak.

10 Controls & Settings

ALLOWING COOLING TIME BEFORE USE

To ensure reliable food storage, allow your refrigerator and freezer to operate with

the doors closed for 8 to 12 hours before placing food inside. During this cooling

period, you do not need to adjust the controls, which are preset at the factory.

SETTING COOLING TEMPERATURES

Your refrigerator comes with a state-of-the-art electronic digital control system. The

system’s control panel is located at the top of the the fresh food compartment. The

two digital displays

on the left half of the

control panel

indicate the current

temperatures of

your freezer and

fresh food

compartments.

To adjust the temperature to a higher or lower setting, press the Up or Down

Arrow button closest to the display. The first time you press the button, the display

shows the last setting you entered. Each press of the button after that increments

the setting by one degree.

The display shows your new setting momentarily, then changes back to the current

temperature. (Refer to following pages for more about temperature settings.)

Choosing Centigrade or Fahrenheit

Depending on which temperature standard you prefer to

use, you can set your control panel to display in

centigrade or fahrenheit. To change between fahrenheit

and centigrade, press the Mode button (located between

the two digital temperature displays).

The advanced electronic control system in your refrigerator includes additional display

modes that service professionals can use to rapidly diagnose performance issues.
