This symbol indicates always do this
It is important to use your refrigerator safely. Check these
safety points before using your refrigerator.
The appliance must be plugged into its own
dedicated 220-240V, 50Hz AC electrical outlet.
The plug must be accessible when the refrigerator is
in position.
It is essential the powerpoint is properly earthed to
ground. Consult a qualified electrician if you
are unsure.
Don’t use extension cords or adapter plugs with
this refrigerator.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced
by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly
qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
Unplug the appliance before cleaning and before
changing the light bulb (when fitted) to avoid
electric shock.
Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling the
electrical
cord as this may damage it. Grip the plug firmly and
pull straight out.
Choose a location for your refrigerator that isn’t
too cold. The ambient room temperature should be
above 10° C.
Stand your refrigerator in a dry place – avoid areas
of high moisture or humidity.
Don’t put the refrigerator in frosty or unprotected
areas like a garage or on the verandah.
Don’t plug your refrigerator into a timer fitted to
the powerpoint.
Do not put the refrigerator in direct sunlight, near
stoves, fires or heaters.
Do not put the refrigerator on an uneven surface.
Do not store flammable materials on or under the
appliance, e.g. aerosols.
Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol
cans with a flammable propellant in this appliance.
Never store fizzy drinks in the freezer compartment.
Never try to repair the refrigerator yourself, only use
a qualified or authorised service person for repairs.
Never use electric heaters or dryers to defrost the
freezer because you can receive an electric shock.
When transporting and installing the refrigerator,
care should be taken to ensure that no parts of the
refrigerating circuit are damaged.
Keep ventilation openings in the appliance
enclosure or in the built-in structure clear of
obstruction.
When installed correctly, your refrigerator should:
– Have adequate space at the back and sides for
air circulation (refer to page 5).
– Be vertically aligned to the surrounding
cupboards.
– Have doors that will self-close from a partially
open position.
NOTE: You must read these warnings carefully before installing
or using the refrigerator. If you need assistance, contact your
Customer Care Department. The manufacturer will not accept
liability, should these instructions or any other safety instructions
incorporated in this book be ignored.
Clean the refrigerator thoroughly according to instructions
and wipe away any dust that has accumulated
during shipping.
Check that the floor is level. If it is not, adjust the stabilising
foot so that the refrigerator is level and stable.
We recommend that the refrigerator be turned on and left
to run for two to three hours before placing any food inside
it. This will allow you to check that it is operating properly
and there is adequate cool air in the freezer.
Installation clearances
• Allow a minimum of 30mm clearance on both sides of
the refrigerator.
• Allow a minimum of 50mm clearance at the back of
the refrigerator.
• Allow a minimum of 50mm (X) clearance above
the refrigerator.
• If you do not have above cupboard with a rear gap of
minimum 100mm (Y), recommended clearance at the
top of the refrigerator is 90mm (X).
• When positioned in a corner, the clearance must be
at least 300mm on the hinge side to allow the door
to open smoothly so that bins and shelves can be
removed easily. For easy removal of Crisper it is
recommended to remove bottle door bin first if
minimum clearance in the corner on hinge side is less
than 350mm.

NOTE: Refrigerator doors on all models are designed
to sit proud of cabinetry (not flush). The refrigerator should
be placed against a wall of cabinetry and the clearance
between the rear of the refrigerator and the wall should not
be greater than 75mm.
Initial start up
When in operation, the outside of the refrigerator will feel
warm, particularly at start up. This is normal.
of the freezer if the door is opened frequently. This is
normal and the frost will disappear after a few days in
most climates.
Make sure that the freezer and fresh food doors are fully
closed after you have loaded or removed food from these
compartments. If the doors are left partly opened, a heavy
frost will coat the inside of the freezer. If this occurs, remove
the frost. Ensure that all doors are properly closed to
prevent frost from reappearing.
Your refrigerator uses energy efficient components that
may produce different noises from your old refrigerator.
Occasionally, a gurgling sound of refrigerant flowing or
sound of parts expanding or contracting can be heard.
These noises are quite normal.
Cleaning
Exterior
Clean the refrigerator with only lukewarm soapy water
and a soft cloth. Rinse with clean water and then wipe the
surface with a soft clean cloth to remove any soap residue.
Interior
Clean the refrigerator interior regularly. Turn power off.
Wipe the interior with a soft cloth and lukewarm soapy
water. Thoroughly dry all surfaces and removable parts.
Avoid getting water on the refrigerator controls. If you have
taken out any removable parts, replace them and switch on
the power before re-stocking the refrigerator. Wipe away
thoroughly any food spills.
Keep door seals clean
Ensure that the door seals are always clean. Sticky food
and drinks can cause seals to adhere to the cabinet and
may cause the seal to tear when opening the door. Wash
seals with lukewarm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
CAUTION
Never use hot water, solvents, commercial kitchen cleaners,
aerosol cleaners, metal polishers, caustic or abrasive
cleaners or scourers to clean the 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 and
lukewarm soapy water.
Avoid placing food against air outlets as this will impede
air circulation.
A light frosting will occasionally occur on the cold interior
