Important information
• The fridge door valve hole must be
closed with the Water Valve during the
regular functioning of the appliance.
• Use only drinking water. The use of any
other drink type can leave residues, taste
or odor in the reservoir and in the tap.
• It is possible to hear some noises caused
by air entering when the water left the
reservoir.
• In case the water does not flow well,
press the driving lever once again. Keep
the glass below the tap for some in-
stants, in order to assure that all the wa-
ter is collected by the glass.
• Do not use gasified drinks, such as soft
drinks. The drink can leak due to the gas
pressure.
• Remember that water is a foodstuff.
Please consume filtered water within one
to two days.
• Sho uld your BRITA water filter unit not be
in use for a prolonged period (e.g. vaca-
tion), we recommend that you discard
any water left inside the system and leave
the cartridge inside the filter tank.
Before using the system again take out
the cartridge and repeat steps 1 to 4 of
"How to use the BRITA MAXTRA filter
cartridge".
• The BRIT A water filter unit is designed for
use only with municipally treated tap wa-
ter (note: this water is constantly control-
led and according to legal regulations
safe to drink) or with water from private
supplies which has been tested safe to
drink.
If an instruction is received from the au-
thorities that mains water must be boiled,
the BRITA filtered water has also to be
boiled. When the instruction to boil water
is no longer in force, the entire filter sys-
tem must be cleaned and a new car-
tridge inserted.
More information on the use of BRITA filter
cartridges and the Memo can be found in
the BRITA information guide.
You can purchase new BRITA filter car-
tridges and Memo through consumer
service network of Electrolux or BRITA.
HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
Normal Operating Sounds
• You may hear a faint gurgling and a bub-
bling sound when the refrigerant is pum-
ped through the coils or tubing. This is
correct.
• When the compressor is on, the refriger-
ant is being pumped around and you will
hear a whirring sound and a pulsating
noise from the compressor. This is cor-
rect.
• The thermic dilatation might cause a sud-
den cracking noise. It is natural, not dan-
gerous physical phenomenon. This is
correct.
Hints for energy saving
• Do not open the door frequently or leave
it open longer than absolutely necessary.
• If the ambient temperature is high and
the Temperature Regulator is set to low
temperature and the appliance is fully
loaded, the compressor may run continu-
ously, causing frost or ice on the evapo-
rator. If this happens, set the Tempera-
ture Regulator toward warmer settings to
allow automatic defrosting and so a sav-
ing in electricity consumption.
Hints for fresh food refrigeration
To obtain the best performance:
• do not store warm food or evaporating
liquids in the refrigerator
• do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it
has a strong flavour
• position food so that air can circulate
freely around it
