5.3 Replacing the water filter
Remove the filter. A small amount of wa-
ter will run out. Dry off and fit the new fil-
ter.
Refer to "Installation of the water filter".
Replacement filters can be ordered from
Electrolux Service Force Centre.
The water connection does not
need to be switched off when
changing the filter.
5.4 Replacing the gas cylinder
Remove the gas cylinder, refer to "Installa-
tion of the gas cylinder".
The replacement gas cylinder is obtained
through your local dealer.
5.5 Cleaning the water
dispenser
When necessary, clean the surfaces of
the dispenser, using only a soft cloth and
warm water.
The dispenser drip tray can be cleaned
with a lukewarm water and some neutral
soap. Lime deposits on the dispenser sur-
face can removed using vinegar or diluted
acetic acid as cleaning agent. Wipe clean
with a damp cloth.
5.6 Defrosting the refrigerator
Frost is automatically eliminated from the
evaporator of the refrigerator compart-
ment every time the motor compressor
stops, during normal use. The defrost wa-
ter drains out through a drain hole into a
special container at the back of the appli-
ance, over the motor compressor, where
it evaporates.
5.7 Periods of non-operation
When the water system is not use for a
long period, turn off the water connection
to the refrigerator.
• A filter that has been in service shall not
be exposed to temperatures below 0°C
as cracking of the filter body may occur
due to freezing expansion.
• If the filter still is to be preserved for lat-
er reuse, suitable storage temperature
will be +5°C.
When the appliance is not in use for long
periods, take the following precautions:
1. disconnect the appliance from elec-
tricity supply
2. remove all food
3. clean the appliance and all accesso-
ries
4. leave the door/doors open to prevent
unpleasant smells.
Before using the appliance again, rinse
the system thoroughly by dispensing at
least three liters (5 pints) of water.
• If necessary, the system can be
cleaned by using a sanitizing kit which
can be ordered through Electrolux
Service Force Centre or through our
website www.electrolux.com.
If the cabinet will be kept on, ask
somebody to check it once in a
while to prevent the food inside
from spoiling in case of a power
failure.
5.8 Cleaning the ventilation grille
The ventilation grille can be removed for
washing.
Make sure the door is open and then:
• Loosen the upper edge of the grille by
pulling outward/downward.
• Pull the grille straight out to completely
remove it.
• Vacuum clean under the cabinet.
