Installation instructions:
1Ensure that refrigerator is not plugged into a power supply.
2 Remove the compressor compartment cover from the rear of the refrigerator (USA market only).
3 Locate isolation tap for water connection – cold water feed only (dishwasher or sink mixer taps) – if you can’t find the connection tap, contact an authorised plumber in your state or town to fit your water connection.
4 Connect the 200 mm (8”) blue tubing to the outlet of the PRV (blue collet) and the inlet connection of the water filter cartridge as shown in Diagram 1. Gently pull on both ends to ensure it is locked.
5 Connect the white 6 mm (¼”) tubing to the outlet of the water filter cartridge as shown in Diagram 2. Gently pull to ensure it is locked.
6 Measure the required length of tubing to run from the PRV to the water connection point.
7 Cut the tubing making sure the ends are square and clean. 8 Connect the tubing to the tap connection and the base
of the PRV (white collet) and then to the tap as shown in Diagram 3. Please note that the tap connection supplied should fit most installation situations. If your tap requires a different fitting, please contact an authorised plumber in your state or town to purchase the correct fitting.
9 Connect one locking key to each side of the water filter cartridge in between the cartridge and the locking collet as shown in Diagram 4.
10 To flush the water filter and check for leaks, aim the end of the tubing into a bucket, turn isolating tap on and run at least 3 litres (3 qt) of water through. Once complete, turn isolating tap off.
11 Locate desired position for water filter noting carefully the following points:
It is recommended to fit the filter in a vertical orientation with the water filter head at the top. This will minimise water leakage when replacing cartridge. Ensure the filter is in a convenient location to access every 6 months for replacement. We suggest that
this location is beside the water filter supply tap in the cupboard beside the refrigerator.
A minimum clearance of 64 mm (2 ½”) from the bottom of the filter cartridge is required to perform cartridge removal.
Do not screw filter to fridge.
