accidental damage occurs, keep the appliance away from open fires or devices
that produce sparks, unplug the appliance and call an authorised service agent.
Thoroughly ventilate the room in which the appliance is situated for several
minutes.

· Leaking refrigerant may cause eye injuries or could ignite.

· Hydrocarbon refrigerants have excellent refrigerant properties, minimal global

warming potential and no ozone depletion potential.

· Hydrocarbon refrigerants cannot be ‘retrofitted’ to an appliance that has not been

designed and approved to use that type of refrigerant.

· The room for installing the appliance must be at least 1m³ per 8g of refrigerant.

The amount of refrigerant in the appliance can be found on the rating plate
attached to the appliance.

TRANSPORTING

Keep the refrigerator upright and avoid squeezing or vibration during
transport. Avoid a slanting angle over 45 degrees during handling.
Avoid the door or top cap from being under excessive stress when
moving, otherwise it may become deformed.

Do not connect your refrigerator to the power supply immediately after it is placed
vertically. You should keep it standing for at least 3 hours before connection to let it

CAUTION

settle.

INSTALLATION

Remove all packaging material and adhesive tape before using your new refrigerator. This
includes the foam base and all adhesive tape holding the refrigerator accessories inside and
outside.

Clean both the inside and outside of the refrigerator with a soft cloth and lukewarm soapy
water.

Positioning your refrigerator

Place your refrigerator in a well ventilated area away from a heat source and direct sunlight.
Do not install the refrigerator in a damp or wet location as this may cause damage to the
insulation and result in leakage. Condensation may also build up on the outer cabinet
causing rust.

Use the front two adjustable feet to level the refrigerator. Rotate the feet in a clockwise
direction to raise the refrigerator and anti-clockwise to lower. Ensure the refrigerator slightly
tilts backwards so that the drawers and doors self-close to provide a consistent closed seal.

Allow for adequate ventilation around your refrigerator

There should be a clearance of at least 300mm from the top of
your refrigerator, and 100mm from either the sides of the
refrigerator (or) the back of the unit. If the refrigerator is to sit
flush with the cabinetry, then a 100mm clearance must be
available at each side to allow the doors to open freely and
enable the removal of bins and shelves.

The minimum clearance recommended at each side is 5mm,
if this is the case the doors must sit proud of the cabinetry by
100mm (not flush). A 5mm side clearance will require 100mm
of airspace at the back of the unit to allow for adequate
ventilation.

A level refrigerator is necessary for getting the doors perfectly even. Ensure it is completely
leveled before adjusting the doors (see previous section on leveling the refrigerator).

Before adjusting the height of the door, rotate the downward adjusting nut counterclockwise
(as shown in Figure II) for 2 circles with a wrench, and loosen the downward adjusting nut.
Rotate the upward adjusting nut to adjust the height, and then tighten the downward
adjusting nut clockwise again.

1. When the door of refrigerator compartment is low:
Open the door, use the accompanying wrench to rotate the upward adjusting nut
counterclockwise to move it upward until it is parallel and level.

2. When the door of refrigerator compartment is high:
Open the door, use the accompanying wrench to rotate the upward adjusting nut clockwise
to move it downward until it is parallel and level.

NOTE: Height adjustment cannot be too large, maximum adjustable height is 5mm!

ENERGY SAVING TIPS

Reduce opening the door frequently. This will increase the appliance efficiency and

1.
reduce power consumption.

2.

To maintain good air circulation within the refrigerator cabinet, keep the shelves and
drawers in the original positions as supplied.

There should always be some space between food items for proper air circulation.

3.

Hot food should be cooled down before placing into the appliance, otherwise the interior

4.
temperature and power consumption will increase.

DISCONNECTION OF THE APPLIANCE

If unplugging the appliance from the power outlet, please leave at least 5 minutes
before re-connection.

CAUTION

Power failure

1.

During a power failure, do not put additional food in the appliance and reduce opening
the door.

If power failure is anticipated beforehand, place several ice cubes into a container and
place in the top of the refrigerator.

2.

Power failure during vacation

Before departure of a short vacation, set the refrigerator to vacation mode and remove
any items that could spoil if a power failure occurs, and ensure the doors are closed
firmly.

If going on a long vacation, remove all items, clean and wipe dry the internal of the
appliance, disconnect the power and leave the doors open.

Storage of appliance

3.

If the refrigerator needs to be switched off for a long period of time (storage), remove all
items, unplug the appliance from the power outlet, clean and wipe dry the interior. The
door should be wedged open slightly for air circulation in order to prevent unpleasant
odours.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

If you think something may be wrong with your refrigerator, you can carry out some easy

checks before calling for service. Y ou may locate the problem and spare yourself from

inconvenience, saving time and money.

SYMPTOM SUGGESTION

R is not operatingefrigerator

Unusual noise

· Check that the power cord is plugged into the power outlet properly

and that the outlet is switched “ON”.

· Try running another appliance from the power outlet. If no power is

coming from the outlet you may have blown a fuse or tripped a circuit of
your household power supply.

· Try adjusting the temperature control to a slightly “colder” position.

· The flow of refrigerant through the pipeline coil could cause gurgling,

similar to water boiling. This is the normal function of the appliance.

· It is quite normal for noise to seem louder just after the refrigerator

starts operating.

· Other strange sounds may mean that you need to check and take

action. For example, noises may mean that:

Compressor seems to run more
than expected

Temperature in the refrigerator
is too warm

Food is frozen inside the
refrigerator compartment

The door will not close

- The cabinet is not level.

- The floor is uneven or weak.

- Bottles are badly placed and rattling.

- There are vibrations from an object on top of or behind or beside

the refrigerator.

- The back of the refrigerator cabinet is touching the wall.

· Are doors kept open too long or too often?

· Are controls set too cold?

· Have large amounts of warm food just recently been stored?

· If the day is hot or the room is very warm, the refrigerator will need to

run more than normal.

· The refrigerator will run more than normal just after you install it or

when it has been turned off for a long time.

· Check that the appliance has enough clearance at the sides, back and

top. Refer to installation instruction on page 5.

· 8Refer to “Controlling the temperature” on page .

· You may have kept the door open too long or too frequently.

· Food containers or packaging may be holding a door open.

· Check if the food is placed near the air outlet.

· Check whether the front of the refrigerator is tilted back slightly to allow

the doors to self close.

· Check whether something is holding the door open.

The following cases are not malfunctions:

Moisture may form as condensation on the outside of the appliance during humid conditions.
To remove excess moisture, wipe clean.
