Solution

Water Filter

• Your refrigerator is equipped with a water filtering system. The water filtering system filters all dispensed drinking water, as well as the water used to produce ice. The water filter is located at the top right side of the fresh food compartment.
• In general, you should change the water filter every six months to ensure the highest possible water quality. Water filter status on the user interface prompts you to replace the filter after a standard amount of water (473 litres) has flowed through the system.
• If your refrigerator has not been used for a period of time (during moving for example), change the filter before reinstalling the refrigerator
• Note: When ordering your replacement filter, please reorder the same filter type that is currently in your refrigerator.
• Use the appliance with water filter supplied by Electrolux only.

Replacement filters and accessories can be ordered from the Electrolux webshop

Replacing the Water Filter (internal water filter models)

• To Remove: Pull cover towards you and cover will drop down and allow access to filter.
• To Reinstall: Push cover up towards liner and then push towards rear of cabinet. Filter cover will snap back into place.
• It is not necessary to turn the water supply off to change the filter. Be ready to wipe up any small amounts of water released during the filter replacement.

1. Ensure that the ice maker is turned off
2. Remove the filter by turning anticlockwise 180˚
3. Slide the old water filter cartridge straight out of the housing and discard it.
4. Unwrap the new filter cartridge and using the alignment guide, slide it gently into filter housing until it stops against the filter connection at the back of the
   housing.
5. Engage the filter by firmly rotating clockwise until the filter snaps into
   position (once engaged the filter cannot be rotated further).
6. Press a drinking glass against the water dispenser while checking for any leaks at the filter housing. Any spurts and sputters that occur as the system purges air out of the dispenser system are normal.

   minutes.
8. Turn on the ice maker.
9. When the filter has been replaced press and hold the ‘Reset Water Filter’ button for three seconds to reset the filter replace
