Your Fisher& Payke]Active Smort®refrigerator isfitted with front and rear rollers,designed for moving

the product in the forwards and backwards direction.
Avoid moving the product in a sideways direction asthis may damage the rollers or the floor

covering/surface.

1 Your refrigerator will arrive with the front feet wound up making moving the product into its

final location asimple task.

2 Roll the refrigerator into its final position making surethere is the correct air gap between the

product and surrounding cabinetry.

What to do ifyour new refrigerator is unstable when installed

AGenfly push the refrigerator back until the rear rollers contact floor.

• Measure the gap under the front foot, which has come off the floor.

• Obtain some solid packing material (hardwood, plastic etc) which fits firmly into the gap under the
foot.

Note:
Do not use metallic materials that may corrode and stairsor damage floor coverings.

B Wind both front feet up and roll the product out of position.

• Place the packing material in the location diagonally opposite the front roller that lifts off the floor.

• Make sure the packing material stays in place when the product is pushed back into position.

• Ideally, the packing material is large enough to rest against the back wall so as to prevent it moving

when the cabinet is pushed into position.

4 Aligning your refrigerator with cabinetry.

check if the product isrocking or stable.
