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
CAUTION
connection to let it 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.

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
4.
interior 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:
- 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.
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 following cases are not malfunctions:
· 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.
Moisture may form as condensation on the outside of the appliance during humid conditions. To remove
excess moisture, wipe clean.
It is normal that the sides of the appliance and the turnover beam will get warm as a result of the
refrigeration system operation.
The appliance operation could cause electrical interference to electrical equipment.
