Installation instructions
Installation instructions:
1 Ensure that refrigerator is not plugged into a power supply.
2 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. Tee and tap fitting is
not supplied.
3 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.
4 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.
5 Measure the required length of tubing to run from the PRV
to the water connection point.
6 Cut the tubing making sure the ends are square and clean.
7 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.
8 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.
9 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 8-10 litres (8-10 qt) of water through. Once complete,
turn isolating tap off.
10 Locate 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 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 water filter to refrigerator.
