Installing your new refrigerator

Clearance around your refrigerator

Your Side by Side Refrigerator can be installed between cupboards or fixture but you must consider the following spaces around the cabinet:

1. Allow a minimum of 10mm clearance on both sides.
2. Allow 30mm clearance at the back of the refrigerator.
3. Allow 10mm clearance above the hinge covers.

1. Allow a 349 or 427mm clearance on the hinge side of the doors, if you place the refrigerator next to the wall. This will make cleaning easier.

1. Make sure that cupboards or fixtures do not stick out further than the refrigerator cabinet.

Note: Refrigerator doors on all models are designed to sit proud of cabinetry (not fl ush).

Installing your refrigerator

The appliance should arrive with the stability foot wound fully up so it will not interfere with the operation of the rollers (see diagram in Step 3 below).

caution

The rollers are designed for forward or backward movement only. They are not castors. Moving the refrigerator sideways may damage your floor and the rollers.

1. Roll the refrigerator into its final position.

2. The top of the refrigerator should be tilted back by approximately 20mm. This will allow the doors to self-close providing a consistent door seal and stability when the doors are open.

3. When you have the appliance in its final position, it needs to be stabilized Wind the stability foot down to the floor until it just makes contact with the floor. Whenever you need to move the appliance, be sure to wind the foot back up so that the appliance can roll freely and be sure to reset it when reinstalling. (The wrench opening size 30mm)

Technical diagram showing a mechanical assembly with a hand holding a tool and a downward arrow indicating force or movement (no text or symbols present)

1. Check the alignment of the refrigerator to the surrounding cupboards. The top of the refrigerator same level from side to side (see diagram below). If you need to adjust the level, use the adjustable rollers as discussed in Step 3.

4 Installing your new refrigerator

1. If the refrigerator rocks from one corner to the opposite rear corner, this means that the floor is uneven; you will need to put some packing under one of the rear rollers. You could use thin pieces of solid material, such as thin board, vinyl floor tiles or laminate. Place the packing so that it will sit under one of the rear rollers when the refrigerator is rolled into position.
2. You may now need to fine-tune the installation by repeating Steps 3, 4 and 5.
3. Whenever you need to move the refrigerator, be sure to wind the foot back up so that the refrigerator can roll freely.
4. Clean your refrigerator thoroughly following the instructions on page 9 and wipe off any dust that was accumulated during shipping.
5. Leave standing in stable upright position for 2-3 hours prior to turn "on".
6. Plug the refrigerator into the power point. Don't use a double adaptor. If you need to roll the refrigerator out to get at the power point, remember to raise the stability foot before you do so.
7. We recommend that you let your refrigerator run for two to three hours before you put any food in it. It will allow you to check that it is operating properly.

Your new refrigerator has been supplied with protective plastic fi lm on the doors and cabinet, you can choose to remove this fi lm as needed.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed your new refrigerator.

caution

Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure clear of obstruction.

Refrigerator Operation

The refrigerator transfers heat from food placed inside the appliance to the outside air.

This process makes the rear, the sides and the area adjacent to the doors, particularly at initial start up, feel warm to hot, this is normal.

There is a cooling coil located behind the rear wall of the cabinet. This coil cools and removes moisture from the air. A fan then circulates cold, dry air throughout the cabinet.

This air circulation means that food are refrigerated far more quickly than in refrigerators where the air remains relatively static.

Avoid placing food against air outlets as this will affect air circulation.

A light frosting will occasionally occur on the cold interior of the freezer when the door is opened frequently. This is normal and will disappear after a few days in most climates.

Make sure you fully close the freezer door after you load or remove food. If the door is left partly open, a heavy frost will coat the inside of the freezer. If a frost develops, remove it.

Ensure to properly close the door, so the frost will not reoccur.

Your new energy efficient appliance uses a high-speed compressor and other energy efficient components that may produce different noises to your old appliance.

These sounds are normal and includes:

• compressor running noise.
• air movement noise from the small fan motor.
• occasional gurgling, similar to water boiling.
• a popping noise, heard during automatic defrosting.
• a clicking noise, just prior to the compressor starting up.

These noises are normal and will not cause the unit to alarm.

Tempe rature Control

The factory default settings;

$$ \text { Refrigerator } = 5 ^ {\circ} \mathrm{c} \text { Freezer } = - 1 8 ^ {\circ} \mathrm{c} $$

If you want to change the temperature, follow the instructions in the section about the user interface for your model. Ensue that you make only small adjustments and wait 24 hours to see if it's correct to your liking.

Note: When you set a temperature, you set an average temperature for the whole refrigerator cabinet.

Checking the softness of ice cream is a good indication that your freezer is the right period, While checking the temperature of water kept in the refrigerator is a good way of checking the temperature of the food compartment.

Temperature inside each compartment may vary, depending on how much food you store and where you place it.

High or low room temperature may also affect the actual temperature inside the refrigerator.

Troubleshooting

If you think something may be wrong with your refrigerator, you can carry out some easy checks before calling for service. You may locate the problem, sparing yourself from inconvenience and saving time and money.

Problem Solution
When your appliance is not operating	Make sure that the power cord is plugged into the power outlet properly and that the outlet is switched 'ON'.
	Try running another appliance from the power outlet. If no power is coming from the outlet you may have blown a fuse or tripped a circuit of your household power supply.
	Try adjusting the temperature control to a slightly "colder" position.
	It is normal for the freezer fan NOT to operate during the automatic defrost cycle, or for a short time after the appliance is switched on.
When there is refrigerator/freezer noise	Modern refrigerators/freezers with increased storage capacity use high speed compressors. These can provide a seemingly high level of sound which is quite normal. Normal operational sounds include:Occasional gurgling, similar to water boiling.Air flow noise (air circulates because of a small fan).A popping noise heard during automatic defrost.
	Other strange sounds may mean that you need to check and take action. For example, noises may mean that:The cabinet is not level.The floor is uneven or weak.Bottles are badly placed and rattling.There are vibrations from an object on top of or behind or beside the refrigerator.The back of the refrigerator cabinet is touching the wall.
	Remember it is quite normal for noise to seem louder when the refrigerator starts operating, or during quieter periods such as night time.
If there are odours inside the appliance	The interior may need cleaning.Some food produce odours.Some containers and wrapping can cause odours.Ask yourself if the odour started about the same time you started storing something unusual.
When the motor seems to run more than expected	Your new appliance provides you with large capacities in both the refrigerator section and the separate freezer. It is normal for the motor to operate frequently. However, to keep operation to a minimum, check the following:Are doors kept open too long or too often?Are controls set too cold? refer to "Using the control panel" for how to adjust.Have large amounts of warm food just recently been stored? Summer, festive seasons and holidays usually mean a lot more work for your appliance.If the day is hot or the room is very warm, the appliance will need to run more than normal.The appliance will run more than normal just after you install it or when it has been turned off for a long time.
If the temperature in the refrigerator is too cold	Refer to "Using the control panel" for how to adjust.Increase the temperature to avoid high energy consumption.
If heavy frosting occurs in the freezer	Make sure you fully close the freezer and fridge doors. If the doors are left partly open a heavy frost will coat the inside of the freezer. If a frost develops, remove it. Make sure properly close the doors at the frost will not reoccur.
If water drips on the floor	The defrost water tray, (located at the back of the cabinet), may not be properly positioned, or the drain tube may not be properly positioned to direct water into this tray. You may need to pull the refrigerator away from the wall to check the tray and tube.
Freezer Door opens after closing fridge door	It is normal for the freezer door to momentarily open and re-close when the food compartment door is closed. If the freezer door stays open, it indicates that the refrigerator cabinet needs to be tilted backwards a little further. If you call a service person to solve this problem, you will be charged for the cost of a service call, as this is not a warranty fault.
When temperature is hot/warm on the outside and rear side of the Fridge	In normal operation, the fridge transfers heat from inside to outside of the cabinet. It is normal for the side and rear of the fridge to feel warm/hot while operating. This will be more noticeable during start up and hot ambient conditions.

When there's leakage at water dispenser

1. Do not fill any beverage into water tank except for purified/mineral water
2. Make sure dispenser valve is tight enough
3. Clean water tank completely

If you have a problem, and the problem persists after you have made the checks mentioned above, contact your nearest Electrolux approved Service Centre or the dealer you bought the refrigerator from. Be ready to quote the model number, 9-digit PNC and 8-digit serial number, which is stated on the label inside the refrigerator compartment.
