Ensure that the electric outlet is properly earthed
to ground. Consult a qualified electrician if you are
unsure.
Do not use an extension cord or adapter plug.
If the power cord is damaged, it should be replaced by
a service technician or a qualified person.
Unplug the appliance before cleaning and before
changing the light bulb to avoid electric shock.
Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the power
cord. Always grip the plug firmly, and pull straight out
of the receptacle to prevent damaging the power cord.
Choose a location that is not too cold - the
temperature should be above 10°C.
Put the appliance in a dry place, avoiding areas of high
moisture or humidity.
Don’t put the appliance in frosty or unprotected areas,
for example in a garage or on a verandah.
Don’t put the appliance in direct sunlight.
Don’t put the appliance near stoves, fires or heaters.
When correctly installed, your appliance should:
• have adequate clearance to the back and sides for air
circulation (refer to page 4).
• be aligned to the surrounding cupboards.
• have doors that will self-close from a partially
open position.
• Have the stability foot in place (see diagrams on pages 4 and 5) to
prevent the appliance falling forward when a door with heavy food load
is opened.
Page 4
4 installing your refrigerator Simpson Refrigeration
Installing your refrigerator
The appliance should arrive with the
front adjustable rollers wound down to
tilt the top of the refrigerator backwards
by about 10 -15mm from upright.
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 below).
The rollers are designed for forward or backward
movement only. They are not castors. Moving the
refrigerator sideways may damage your floor and
the rollers.
1. Roll the refrigerator into its final position.
2. The top of the refrigerator should be tilted back by approximately
10 -15mm. This will allow the doors to self-close providing a
consistent door seal.
3. If the refrigerator is not tilted back, you can adjust the two front
rollers by turning the large, plastic roller nut (see diagram below).
This will increase the height of the rollers. One turn of the nut
will tilt the refrigerator back approximately 10mm. If you have
difficulty turning the roller nut you can have someone tilt the
refrigerator back, so that you have better access. Alternatively, you
can access the rollers from the side, using a flat screwdriver to
help you turn the nut (see diagram below).
4. Check the alignment of the refrigerator to the surrounding
cupboards. The top of the refrigerator should be level from side
to side (see diagram below). If you need to adjust the level, use
the adjustable rollers as discussed in Step 3.
Installing your new refrigerator
Clearance around your Side by Side refrigerator
Your Side by Side Refrigerator can be installed between
cupboards or fixtures but you must allow for the following
spaces around the cabinet.
1. Allow a minimum of 5mm clearance on both sides.
2. Allow 10mm clearance at the back of the refrigerator.
3. Allow a minimum of 10mm clearance above hinge covers.
4. If you do not 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).
5. Allow a 250 or 300mm clearance on the hinge side of the
doors, if you place the refrigerator next to the wall. This will
make cleaning easier.
6. Make sure that cupboards or xtures do not stick out further
than the refrigerator cabinet.
Clearance around your Top and Bottom Mount refrigerator
1. Allow a minimum of 5mm clearance on both sides.
2. Allow 10mm clearance at the back of the refrigerator.
3. Allow a minimum of 10mm clearance above hinge covers.
4. If you do not have a cupboard with a rear gap, the recommended
clearance area on top increases from 50mm to 90mm.
5. 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: Doors on all models are designed to sit proud of cabinetry (not flush). The
refrigerator should be placed against a wall and the gap between the rear
of the refrigerator and the wall should be no greater than 75mm.

5. If the refrigerator now rocks from one corner to the opposite
rear corner, this means that the floor is uneven; you will need to
put some packing under one of the rear rollers. You could use
thin pieces of solid material, such as thin board, vinyl floor tiles or
laminate. Place the packing so that it will sit under one of the rear
rollers when the refrigerator is rolled into position.
6. You may now need to fine-tune the installation by repeating
Steps 3, 4 and 5.
7. When you have the appliance in its nal position, it needs to be
stabilised. Wind the stability foot down to the floor until it just
makes contact with the floor. Lift the front of the appliance to
take the weight off the stability foot, then turn it ¼ turn further
to ensure firm contact with the floor. 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.
Whenever you need to move the refrigerator, be sure to wind the
foot back up so that the refrigerator can roll freely.
8. Clean your refrigerator thoroughly following the instructions
on page 11 and wipe off any dust that has accumulated
during shipping.
9. Plug the refrigerator into the power point. Don’t use a double
adaptor. If you need to roll the refrigerator out to get at the
power point, remember to raise the stability foot before you
do so.
10. We recommend that you let your refrigerator run for two
to three hours before you put any food in it. This will allow
you to check that it is operating properly.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed your
new refrigerator.
Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure
or in the built-in structure clear of obstruction.
Adjusting door alignment – Side by Side refrigerator only
Each door is independently adjustable in the vertical direction by
turning the adjustable bolts under the hinges using a spanner.
The doors can be adjusted up or down. Depending on
the amount of adjustment required it may be sufficient
to adjust only one door. (see Diagrams below)
Note: When the height of the rollers and adjusting bolts are correctly adjusted the
refrigerator will stand firmly on the floor then adjust door alignment as required.

8 refrigerator and freezer operation Simpson Refrigeration
The refrigerator transfers heat from food placed inside the appliance
to the outside air.
This process makes the rear, the sides and the area
adjacent to the doors, particularly at initial start up, feel
warm. This is normal.
There is a cooling coil located behind the rear wall of the cabinet.
This coil cools and removes moisture from the air. A fan then
circulates cold, dry air throughout the cabinet.
This air circulation means that foods are refrigerated far more quickly
than in refrigerators where the air remains relatively static.
Avoid placing food against air outlets as this will affect
air circulation.
A light frosting will occasionally occur on the cold interior of the
freezer when the door is opened frequently. This is normal and will
disappear after a few days in most climates.
Make sure you fully close the freezer door after you load or remove
food. If the door is left partly open, a heavy frost will coat the inside of
the freezer. If a frost develops, remove it. Take care to properly close
the door and the frost will not reoccur. If the food is placed forward
of the ribs on the bottom of the freezer, it will keep the door open.
Ensure that all food is stored behind the ribs.
Your new energy efficient appliance uses a high-speed compressor and
other energy efficient components that may produce different noises
to your old appliance.
These sounds are normal and include:
• compressor running noise.
• air movement noise from the small fan motor.
• occasional gurgling, similar to water boiling.
• a popping noise, heard during automatic defrosting.
• a clicking noise, just prior to the compressor starting up.
These noises are normal and not cause for alarm.
Further details can be found on page 13.
Set the temperature by using the main temperature controls at the
rear of the refrigerator compartment. When you first start your
refrigerator, set both refrigerator and freezer controls to MID. The
refrigerator temperature control is affected by altitude and it is
recommended that it be set warmer to compensate. e.g. at 1000
metres above sea level set the refrigerator temperature control
to one setting warmer than MID.
A good indication of optimal freezer temperature is ice cream
that is frozen, but still soft enough for easy scooping.
For the fridge compartment, we recommend using drinking water
and simply adjusting the fridge controls until the water is at your
ideal temperature.
To change settings. When you change temperature settings, make small
adjustments and wait 24 hours before assessing whether you need to
make any further changes.

The refrigerator temperature control is affected by altitude
and is recommended that it be set warmer to compensate.
e.g. at 1000 metres above sea level set the refrigerator temperature
control to one half setting warmer than MID.
Wait 24 hours after changing settings: When you change
temperature settings, make small adjustments and wait 24 hours
before assessing whether you need to make any further changes.
NB: Testing ice cream is a good way to check the freezer temperature.
Testing drinking water is a good way to check the refrigerator
compartment temperature.
• Coldest freezer setting is not recommended in normal and
very hot climates as this will limit the cooling to the
refrigerator section.
• In very cold climates (where temperatures are below 10°C)
the freezer may need to be set colder.
• Adjustment of the fridge compartment temperature may cause
a small movement in freezer temperature.
Chill Channel – Side by Side model only
The chill channel allows air to circulate through your refrigerator. For
optimum cooling, keep the channel behind your shelves clear.
Try to avoid storing plates, trays or any object that may extend beyond the
back edge of your shelves. Doing so may block the cold air ow from
the vents located in the control housing, causing uneven temperatures in
your refrigerator. This may also freeze items stored on the top shelf.

Simpson Refrigeration cleaning your refrigerator / energy consumption 11
Energy consumption (electricity costs)Cleaning your refrigerator
Before cleaning: Turn appliance off at the power point, then
remove power cord from socket. This will make sure
there is no chance of getting an electric shock.
Doors and exterior
You should only clean the doors with lukewarm soapy water and a
soft cloth, rinsing with clean water and then wipe the surface with
clean water and a soft clean cloth to remove soap residue.
Do not use stainless steel cleaners, abrasive pads or
other cleaners as they are likely to scratch the surface.
Damage to this product after delivery is not covered
by your warranty.
Interior
You should clean the appliance interior regularly. It will be easiest to
clean when the food supply is low. Wash the interior with a soft cloth
and use an unscented mild soap with luke-warm water. Thoroughly
dry all surfaces and removable parts. Avoid getting water on appliance
controls. If you have taken out any removable parts, replace them and
switch the power on before re-stocking the appliance with food.
Naturally, you should keep the interior of your appliance hygienic by
promptly and thoroughly wiping up any food spills.
Door seals
Take care to keep door seals clean. Sticky food and drink can cause
seals to stick to the cabinet and tear when you open the door. Wash
seal with a mild detergent and warm water. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
Never use hot water, solvents, commercial kitchen
cleaners, aerosol cleaners, metal polishes, caustic or
abrasive cleaners, or scourers to clean this appliance, as
they will damage it. Many commercially available cleaning
products and detergents contain solvents that will
damage your refrigerator. When cleaning, use only a soft
cloth with an unscented mild soap and lukewarm water.
The following guide will help you reduce the running cost of your new
refrigerator. This will save you money and help conserve our valuable
energy resources.
1. If you keep your old refrigerator, save power by switching it off
when not in use.
2. Do not set your freezer temperature too low. After 24 hours, ice
cream should be firm but able to be scooped out with a spoon
without bending the handle. If ice cream is rmer than this (or too
soft), adjust the freezer temperature controls (see ‘Temperature
control’, page 8).
3. Ensure that the refrigerator doors seal properly as
you close them.
4. Before you open the refrigerator doors, decide what you want
to put in or take out. This will minimize the time you have the
doors open.
5. It is best to have the refrigerator in a place that is out of direct
sunlight and away from heating appliances of any kind. For
example, do not place the refrigerator next to a cooker, stove
or dishwasher.
6. Allow hot foods to cool to room temperature before you put
them in your freezer.
7. Thaw frozen food in the refrigerator section.
8. If you keep the freezer compartment filled to capacity, your
food mass will help maintain the freezer temperature when you
open the door.
9. Do not block air vents. Doing so may cause the refrigerator to
run longer and use more energy.
Turning off the refrigerator
If you are leaving for a short holiday, there is no need to turn off
your refrigerator .
If you are going on a long holiday and want to turn the refrigerator
off, follow the steps below.
1. Take all the food out of the refrigerator and freezer
compartments.
2. Switch off the refrigerator and remove the electric cord from
the power point.
3. Clean the inside.
4. Leave the doors open. This prevents bacteria from growing and
causing smells in the refrigerator.
Power failure
If there is a power failure in your area, keep the door to the freezer
closed. Most foods in your freezer will stay frozen for 24 hours.

Simpson Refrigeration troubleshooting 13
If you think something may be wrong with your refrigerator, you can carry out some easy checks before calling for service.
You may locate the problem, sparing yourself from inconvenience and saving time and money.
Problem
Solution
When your appliance
is not operating
• 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.
• It is normal for the freezer fan NOT to operate during the automatic defrost cycle, or for a short time after the appliance
is switched on.
When there
is refrigerator/
freezer noise
Modern refrigerators/freezers with increased storage capacity use high speed compressors. These can provide a seemingly
high level of sound which is quite normal. Normal operational sounds include:
• Occasional gurgling, similar to water boiling.
• Air ow noise (air circulates because of a small fan).
• A popping noise heard during automatic defrost.
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 oor 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.
Remember it is quite normal for noise to seem louder just after the refrigerator starts operating.
If there are
odours inside
the appliance
• The interior may need cleaning.
• Some foods produce odours.
• Some containers and wrapping can cause odours.
• Ask yourself if the odour started about the same time you started storing something unusual.
When the motor
seems to run more
than expected
Your new appliance provides you with large capacities in both the refrigerator section and the separate freezer. It is normal
for the motor to operate frequently. However, to keep operation to a minimum, check the following:
• Are doors kept open too long or too often?
• Are controls set too cold? Refer to page 8 “Temperature control”.
• Have large amounts of warm food just recently been stored? Summer, festive seasons and holidays usually mean a lot more
work for your appliance.
• If the day is hot or the room is very warm, the appliance will need to run more than normal.
• The appliance will run more than normal just after you install it or when it has been turned off for a long time.
If the temperature in
the refrigerator is too
warm
• Check that the appliance has enough clearance at the sides, back and top. Refer to page 4 “Installing your new refrigerator”.
• Refer to page 8 “Temperature control”.
• You may have kept the door open too long or too frequently.
• Food containers or packaging may be holding a door open.
If the temperature in
the refrigerator is too
cold
• Refer to page 8 “Temperature control”.
• Increase the temperature to avoid high energy consumption.
If heavy frosting
occurs in the freezer
Make sure you fully close the freezer and fridge doors. If the doors are left partly open a heavy frost will coat the inside of the
freezer. If a frost develops, remove it. Take care to properly close the doors and the frost will not reoccur.
If water drips
on the floor
The defrost water tray, (located on the compressor at the back of the cabinet), may not be properly positioned, or the drain
tube may not be properly positioned to direct water into this tray. You may need to pull the refrigerator away from the wall
to check the tray and tube.
If you still require service
If you have a problem, and the problem persists after you have made the checks mentioned above, contact your nearest Electrolux approved
Service Centre or the dealer you bought the refrigerator from. Be ready to quote the model number, 9-digit PNC and 8-digit serial number,
which is stated on the label inside the refrigerator compartment.
