IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SWITCHING OFF YOUR REFRIGERATOR
If you switch o your refrigerator for an extended period, follow these steps to reduce the chances of mould:
1. Remove all food.
2. Remove the power plug from the power point.
3. Thoroughly clean and dry the Interior.
4. Ensure that all the doors are wedged open slightly for air circulation.

(y)
ADEQUATE VENTILATION AROUND YOUR REFRIGERATOR. The diagram below shows the recommended airspace to allow for ventilation of your refrigerator. If you don’t have a cupboard with a rear gap, the recommended clearance area on top increases from 50mm to 90mm (x) and from 32mm to 72mm (y). When positioned in a corner area, spacing of at least 350mm on the hinge side will allow the doors to open enough to enable the removal of bins and shelves. Note: For those models with telescopic extension slide-out bins, the clearance required increases from 350mm to 550mm for top mount and bottom mount models, and to 450mm for the all refrigerator model to allow full access to the bins’ contents as well as bin removal.
NOTE: Doors are designed to sit proud of cabinetry (not  ush). The clearances shown above are the recommended minimum clearances. The clearance at the rear must not exceed 75mm.
INSTALLING YOUR REFRIGERATOR Your new refrigerator should arrive with the front adjustable rollers wound down, to tilt the top backwards by about 10mm from upright. This will allow your refrigerator door to self-close, providing a consistent closed seal.
The stability foot should also be wound fully up so it will not interfere with the operation of the rollers (see diagram in Step 3).
CAUTION
The rollers are designed for forward or backward movement only. They are not castors. Moving the refrigerator sideways may damage your  oor and the rollers.
INSTALLING YOUR NEW APPLIANCE
1. Roll the refrigerator into place.
2. The top of the refrigerator should be tilted back by 10mm (see diagram on left). This will allow the doors to self-close providing a consistent door seal.
3. If the refrigerator isn’t tilted back, you can adjust the two front rollers by turning the large, plastic roller nut. (see diagram below). One turn of the nut increases the height of the refrigerator by 10mm. If you have di culty turning the roller nut, have someone tilt the refrigerator back, so you have better access. Alternatively, you can access the rollers from the side, using a  at screwdriver. (See diagram below).
4. Check the alignment of the refrigerator to the surrounding cupboards to see if it is level. You can adjust the level with the rollers as detailed in step 3.
5. If you  nd your refrigerator rocks from corner to corner, it means your  oor is uneven. Find a piece of plastic or hardboard etc. and pack it  rmly under the roller.
6. On certain  oor surfaces, the refrigerator may roll forward during normal operation. Where provided, a “Roller Stop” can be placed under the front rollers.
7. You may now need to  ne-tune the installation by repeating Steps 3, 4 and 5.

INSTALLATION
INITIAL STARTUP
8. When you have the appliance in its  nal position, it needs to be stablisied. Wind the stability foot down to the  oor until it just makes contact with the  oor. Lift the front of the appliance to take the weight o the stability foot, then turn it ¼ turn further to ensure  rm contact with the  oor. Whenever you need to move the appliance, be sure to wind the foot back up so that the appliance can roll freely and be sure to reset it when reinstalling.
9. Clean your refrigerator thoroughly following the instructions on page 11 and wipe o any dust that has accumulated during shipping.
10. Plug your refrigerator straight into its own power point and never use a double adapter. If you need to roll the refrigerator to get to the plug, remember to raise the stability foot  rst.
11. Before you put any food in your refrigerator, it’s recommended you leave it on for 2 or 3 hours to check it is running properly.
When correctly installed, your appliance 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.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed your new refrigerator.
Refrigerators work by transferring heat from the food inside to the outside air. This operation makes the back and sides of the refrigerator (particularly at start-up) feel warm – which is normal.
Avoid placing food against the air vents in the refrigerator, as it a ects the e cient circulation. If the door is opened frequently, a light frosting will occasionally occur on the freezer’s interior. This is normal and will clear after a few days. If the freezer door is accidentally kept open, a heavy frost will coat the inside walls and should be removed.
Your new refrigerator uses a high-speed compressor, along with other energy-e cient components, which may make unusual sounds. These sounds simply indicate your refrigerator is working how it should. They include:
• Compressor running noises;
• Air movement noise from the small fan motor;
• A gurgling sound, similar to water boiling;
• A popping noise, heard during automatic defrosting; and
• A clicking noise, prior to compressor start-up.
