location

When selecting a position for your unit you should make sure the floor is flat and firm, and the
room is well ventilated with an average room temperature of between 16°C and 38°C. Avoid
locating your unit near a heat source, e.g. cooker, boiler or radiator. Also avoid direct sunlight
as it may increase the electrical consumption. Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also
cause the unit not to perform properly. This unit is not designed for use in a garage or outdoor
installation. Do not drape the unit with any covering.

levelling the unit

To do this adjust the two levelling feet at the front of the unit.

If the unit is not level, the doors and magnetic seal alignments will
not be covered properly.

free space requirements

When installing the unit, ensure that 25 mm
of free space is left at both sides, 50 mm at
the rear of the unit and 25 mm at the top of
the unit. The door can be opened to the right
or the left, depending on which best suits the
location. Please ensure there is adequate
space for the door to fully open to 160°.

installation

reversing the door swing

tools required: Philips style screwdriver / Flat bladed screwdriver / Hexagonal spanner

• Ensure the unit is unplugged and empty.

• To take the door off it is necessary to tilt the unit backwards. You should rest the unit

on something solid, e.g. a chair just below the top panel.

• All parts removed must be saved to do the reinstallation of the door.

• Do not lay the unit flat as this may damage the coolant system.

• We recommend that 2 people handle the unit during assembly.

• If you want to have the door swing reversed, we recommend that you contact a

qualified technician. You should only try to reverse the door yourself if you believe that
you are qualified to do so.

1. Remove the 4 blanking plates from the
outside of the fridge door.

2. With the door closed, remove the screws
on the outside of the hinges. Start with the
top hinge.
