14Installation instructions

Installation instructions:

1Ensure the refrigerator is not plugged into a power supply.

2Locate isolation tap for water connection – cold water feed only (dishwasher or sink mixer taps). Tee and tap fitting not supplied.

3Connect 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.

4Connect 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.

5Measure the required length of tubing to run from the PRV to the water connection point (no less than 250 mm (10”)).

6Cut the tubing making sure the ends are square and clean.

7Connect the tubing to the tap connection and the base of the PRV (white collet) and then to the tap as shown in Diagram 3. Take care not to over-tighten the tap connection. Please note that the tap connection supplied should fit most installation situations.

8Connect one locking key to each side of the water filter cartridge in between the cartridge and the locking collet as shown in Diagram 4.

9To flush the water filter of any trapped air, harmless carbon fines and to also check for leaks, aim the end of the tubing into a bucket, turn isolating tap on and run at least 10 L (10 qt) of water through. Once complete, turn isolating tap off.

10Locate desired position for water filter noting carefully the following points:

■■It is recommended to fit the water 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 a 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 the water filter to the refrigerator.
