Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling the electrical
cord as this may damage it. Grip the plug firmly and
pull straight out.
Choose a location for your refrigerator that isn’t too
cold. The ambient room temperature should be
ab ove 10 °C.
Stand your refrigerator in a dry place – avoid areas of
high moisture or humidity.
Don’t put the refrigerator in frosty or unprotected
areas like a garage or on the verandah.
Don’t plug your refrigerator into a timer fitted to

Keep ventilation openings in the appliance enclosure
or in the built-in structure clear of obstruction.
When installed correctly, your refrigerator should:
– Have adequate space at the back and sides for
air circulation (refer to page 5).
– Be vertically aligned to the surrounding cupboards.
– Have doors that will self-close from a partially
open position.
NOTE: You must read these warnings carefully

The manufacturer will not accept liability, should these
instructions or any other safety instructions incorporated
in this book be ignored.
INSTALLING YOUR NEW APPLIANCE
Clean the refrigerator thoroughly according to instructions
and wipe away any dust that has accumulated
during shipping.
Check that the floor is level. If it is not, adjust the stabilising
foot so that the refrigerator is level and stable.
We recommend that the refrigerator be turned on and left
to run for two to three hours before placing any food inside
it. This will allow you to check that it is operating properly
and there is adequate cool air in the freezer.

Operating tips
Avoid placing food against air outlets as this will impede air
circulation.
Make sure that the freezer and fresh food doors are fully
closed after you have loaded or removed food from these
compartments. If the doors are left partly opened, a heavy
frost will coat the inside of the freezer. If this occurs,
remove the frost. Ensure that all doors are properly closed
to prevent frost from reappearing.
Installation clearances
• Allow a minimum of 30mm clearance on both sides of
the refrigerator.
• Allow a minimum of 50mm clearance at the back of
the refrigerator.
• Allow a minimum of 50mm (X) clearance above the
refrigerator.
• If you do not have a cupboard above the fridge with
a rear gap of minimum 100mm (Y), recommended
clearance at the top of the refrigerator increases from
50mm to 90mm (x)
• When positioned in a corner, the clearance must be
at least 300mm on the hinge side to allow the door
to open smoothly so that bins and shelves can
be removed easily. For easy removal of Crisper it
is recommended to remove bottle door bin first if
minimum clearance in the corner on hinge side is less
than 350mm.

NOTE: Refrigerator doors on all models are designed
to sit proud of cabinetry (not flush). The refrigerator should
be placed against a wall of cabinetry and the clearance
between the rear of the refrigerator and the wall should
not be greater than 75mm.
Initial start up
Refrigerators work by transferring heat from the food inside
to the outside air. This operation makes the back and
sides of the refrigerator feel warm or even hot particularly
at start-up and on warm days.
Your refrigeration uses energy efficient components that
may produce differnet noises compared to older
refrigerators. Please see troubleshooting guide for more
information.
A light frosting will occasionally occur on the cold interior of
the freezer if the door is opened frequently. This is normal
and the frost will disappear after a few days in
most climates.

Cleaning
Exterior

Interior
Clean the refrigerator interior regularly. Turn power off.

Avoid getting water on the refrigerator controls. If you have
taken out any removable parts, replace them and switch
on the power before re-stocking the refrigerator. Wipe
away thoroughly any food spills.
Keep door seals clean
Ensure that the door seals are always clean. Sticky food
and drinks can cause seals to adhere to the cabinet and

Never use hot water, solvents, commercial kitchen
cleaners, aerosol cleaners, metal polishers, caustic or
abrasive cleaners or scourers to clean the appliance as

products and detergents contain solvents that will damage
your refrigerator. When cleaning, use only a soft cloth and
lukewarm soapy water.
