INSTALLING YOUR FREEZER

WARNING

Adequate ventilation around your freezer.

The diagram below shows the recommended airspace to
allow for ventilation of your freezer.

If you don’t 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). 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.

Your new freezer should arrive with the front adjustable
rollers wound down, to tilt the top backwards by about
10mm from upright. This will allow your freezer door to
self-close, providing a consistent closed seal.

10– 15mm

Height adjustable
front rollers

The stability foot should also be wound fully up so it will
not interfere with the operation of the rollers.

Note: Doors are designed to sit proud of cabinetry
(not flush).

The clearances shown above are the recommended
minimum clearances. The clearance at the rear must not
exceed 75mm.

350mm

550mm for telescopic

drawer models

CAUTION

The rollers are designed for forward or backward
movement only. They are not castors. Moving the freezer
sideways may damage your floor and
the rollers.

1. Roll the freezer into place.

2. The top of the freezer should be tilted back by 10mm
(see diagram on left). This will allow the doors to self­close providing a consistent door seal.

3. If the freezer isn’t tilted back, you can adjust the two
front rollers by turning the large, plastic roller nut (see
diagram below). One turn of the nut increases the
height of the freezer by 10mm. If you have difficulty
turning the roller nut, have someone tilt the freezer
back, so you have better access. Alternatively, you
can access the rollers from the side, using a flat
screwdriver (see diagram below).
