1 - Introduction
Dear Customer
Congratulations on the purchase of your new

hope you will consider us for future purchases.
Follow the instructions below to ensure that you install it
safely and that it runs efficiently.
PLEASE READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This Use & Care Manual provides specific operating
instructions for your model. Use your refrigerator only as
instructed in this manual. These instructions are not meant
to cover every possible condition and situation that may
occur. Common sense and caution must be practiced
when installing, operating and maintaining any appliance.
Important:- Before you install your refrigerator, PLEASE
CHECK FOR ANY DAMAGE OR MARKS. If you find that
the refrigerator is damaged or marked, you must report
this within 7 days if you wish to claim for damage / marks
under the manufacturers warranty. This does not affect
your statutory rights.
Important Safety Instructions
IF PRESSURISED AEROSOL CONTAINERS
BEAR THE WORD ‘FLAMMABLE’ AND/OR
A SMALL FLAME SYMBOL, DO NOT STORE
THEM INSIDE ANY REFRIGERATOR. IF YOU
DO SO YOU MAY CAUSE AN EXPLOSION
When you dispose of refrigerators and freezers,
remove any doors. Children can suffocate if they
get trapped inside.
This refrigerator contains insulation formed with
flammable blowing gases. Avoid safety hazards
by carefully disposing of this appliance.
• The refrigerator must be plugged into its own
dedicated AC electric outlet.
• Ensure that the electric outlet is properly earthed
to ground. Consult a qualified electrician if you are
unsure.
• It must be possible to disconnect the appliance from
the mains power supply; the plug must therefore be
easily accessible after installation.
• Do not use an extension cord or adapter plug.
• If the power cord is damaged, it should be replaced
by a service technician or a qualified person .
• Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and before
changing any of the light bulbs to avoid electric shock.
• Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling on the power
cord. Always grip the plug firmly, and pull straight out of
the receptacle to prevent damaging the power cord.
Location
• Choose a place that is not too cold the temperature should be above 10°C.
• Put the refrigerator in a dry place,
avoiding areas of high moisture or
humidity.
• Don’t put the refrigerator in frosty or
unprotected areas, for example in a
garage or on a veranda.
• Don’t put the refrigerator in direct
sunlight.
• Don’t put the refrigerator near stoves,
fires or heaters.
When correctly installed, your refrigerator should:
• have adequate clearance to the back and sides for
air circulation.
• be aligned to the surrounding cupboards.
• have doors that will self-close from a partially open
position.
• have the stability foot in place (see Diagram 4 on
page 6) to prevent the refrigerator falling forward when
a door with heavy food load is opened.
Clearances around your refrigerator.
Before you move your refrigerator into the place where it
will operate check that it will have adequate clearance.
Clearance is required for air circulation and too little
clearance may affect your refrigerators performance.
We recommend minimum
clearances of:
• 3cm on each side.
• 9cm above the refrigerator.
• 5cm behind the refrigerator.

3 - Installation
Installing your new refrigerator.
The refrigerator should
arrive with the front
adjustable rollers wound
down to tilt the top of the
refrigerator backwards
by about 10-15mm from
upright (See Diagram 1).
The stability foot should
also be wound fully up so
it will not interfere with the
operation of the rollers
(See Diagram 2).
1. Roll the refrigerator into its final position.
WARNING: The rollers are designed for forward or
backward movement only. They are not castors. Moving
the refrigerator sideways may damage
the rollers.
2. The top of the refrigerator should be tilted back by
approximately 10-15mm. This will allow the doors to selfclose providing a consistent door seal. (See Diagram 1)
It is normal for the freezer door to momentarily open and
re-close when the food compartment door is closed firmly.
If the freezer stays open you will need to tilt the refrigerator
backwards a little further.
Diagram 1
your floor and
4. Check the alignment of the refrigerator to the
surrounding cupboards. The top of the refrigerator should
be level from side to side (see Diagram 3). If you need to
adjust the level, use the adjustable rollers as discussed in
Step 3.
5. If the refrigerator now rocks from one corner to the
opposite rear corner, this means that the floor is uneven;
you will need to put some packing under one of the rear
rollers.You could use thin pieces of solid material, such as
thin board, vinyl floor tiles or laminate. Place the packing
so that it will sit under one of the rear rollers when the
refrigerator is rolled into position.
6.You may now need to fine-tune the installation by
repeating Steps 3, 4 and 5.
7. When you have the refrigerator in final position wind the
stabilising foot down until it just makes contact with the
floor (see Diagram 4). Whenever you need to move the
refrigerator, be sure to wind the foot back up so that the
refrigerator can roll freely.
Diagram 4
Diagram 2
3. If the refrigerator is not tilted back, you can adjust the
two front rollers by turning the large, plastic roller nut (See
Diagram 2). This will increase the height of the rollers. One
turn of the nut will tilt the refrigerator back approximately
10mm. If you have difficulty turning the roller nut you can
have someone tilt the refrigerator back, so that you have
better access. Alternatively, you can access the rollers from
the side, using a flat screwdriver to help you turn the nut
(see Diagram 2).
8. Clean your refrigerator thoroughly following the
instructions on page 15 and wipe off any dust that has
accumulated during shipping.
9. Plug the refrigerator into the power point. Don’t use a
double adaptor. If you need to roll the refrigerator out to get
at the power point, remember to raise the stabilizing foot
before you do so.
10.We recommend that you let your refrigerator run for two
to three hours before you put any food in it. This will allow
you to check that it is operating properly and that enough
cool air is going to the freezer.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed your
refrigerator.
