Disposal
• Extreme care must be taken when disposing of your
old appliance to avoid hazards:
– The flammable refrigerant gas must be safely
removed.
– The thermal insulation foam in this appliance
contains flammable insulation blowing gases, any
exposed foam may be highly flammable and must
be carefully treated during disposal.
– The doors and panels should be removed and
the shelves left in place so that children may not
easily climb inside.

from the freezer compartment may be cold enough
to cause damage when brought into contact with
bare skin, egfrozen ice cubes.

SAFETY AND WARNINGS
Power failure — food safety
• Do not refreeze frozen foods that have thawed
completely. The food may be dangerous to eat.
Follow the recommendations below if you discover
food in your freezer has thawed:
– Ice crystals still visible — food may be refrozen
but should be stored for a shorter period than
recommended.
– Thawed but refrigerator cold — refreezing
generally not recommended. Fruits
and some cooked food can be refrozen
but use as soon as possible. Meat, fish,
poultry — use immediately or cook then refreeze.
Vegetables — discard as they usually go limp
andsoggy.
– Thawed and warmer than 5°C — discard all food.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS — GENERAL
Please follow the steps for installation to ensure your appliance operates correctly.
Location
Your refrigerator should not be located in direct sunlight or next to any heat generating
appliance such as a cooktop, oven or dishwasher.
Power
To ensure that the appliance is not accidentally switched off, connect your refrigerator
to its own power point. Do not plug in any other appliance at this power point or use
extension cords and double adaptors, as the combined weight of both power cords can
pull the double adaptor from a wall outlet socket.
For power requirements, refer to the information on the serial plate located inside the
refrigerator compartment.
It is essential that the appliance be properly grounded (earthed).
Energy saving tips
There are many simple things that can be done to save energy.
During installation
Locate refrigerator to the coolest part of the room. Avoid areas of direct sunlight, or
near heating ducts, registers, or other heat producing appliances.
Ensure your refrigerator has adequate ventilation as shown in the installation
instructions.
During use
Avoid overcrowding shelves, as this reduces airflow.
Do not use anything (such as aluminium foil, wax paper, or paper towelling) as a shelf
liner, as this reduces airflow.
Avoid loading too much warm food in at once and allow good clearances in front of the
air ducts within the cabinet for maximum cold air distribution.
Your refrigerator is most efficient when it is two thirds full.
Do not leave the door open for any longer than is necessary and organise items in the
refrigerator to reduce the time that the door is open.
Before placing food in the fresh food or freezer compartments
Remove all packaging found inside the compartments eg tape, polystyrene etc.
Clean the inside of the appliance with a mixture of warm water and a little liquid
detergent to remove manufacturing and transportation dust.
The appliance may have an odour on its initial operation, but this will go when the
refrigerator has cooled sufficiently.
Allow the refrigerator to run empty for 2–3 hours to allow each compartment to cool
to the appropriate temperature.
