INSTALLING YOUR NEW APPLIANCE
WARNING
ADEQUATE VENTILATION AROUND YOUR REFRIGERATOR
Before you move your appliance into the place where it will
operate, check that it will have adequate clearance. Clearance
is required for air circulation and too little clearance may affect
the performance of your appliance.
We recommend minimum clearances of:
• 30mm on each side.
• 25mm above the refrigerator.
• 50mm minimum/75mm maximum behind the refrigerator
50mm (75mm max)
30mm
Recommended
airspace
Cabinet
Door
30mm
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.
INSTALLING YOUR REFRIGERATOR OR FREEZER
The appliance should arrive with the front levelling feet wound
up. The appliance may need to be tilted backward at the top
by about 10-1 5mm from vertical (see diagram below). This will
allow the door to gravitate to the closed position. The complete
closure of the door seal is reliant on manually pushing the door
closed to provide a consistent door seal.
1. Move the appliance into its nal position.
2. If the appliance is not tilting back as described earlier, minor
adjustments can be made to the two front levelling legs by
turning the feet in an anticlockwise direction (below). This will
increase the height of the feet. If you have difficulty turning
the foot, have someone tilt the appliance back to gain better
access. If it is not tilted back enough and the levelling legs
are fully extended, additional packing might be required
(see note 4 for appropriate materials).
3. Compare the alignment of the appliance to the surrounding
cupboard. The top of the appliance should be level from side
to side (see diagram below). If you need to adjust the level,
use the levelling feet as detailed in step 2.
Spirit level
10 – 15mm
Height adjustable
front rollers
CAUTION
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.
Parrallel to cupboards
4. If the appliance now rocks from one corner to the opposite
rear corner, this means that the floor is uneven. You may
need to put some packing under the ridge to the rear of the
appliance. You could use thin pieces of solid material such
as thin board, vinyl floor tiles or laminate.
5. You may now need to fine tune the installation by repeating
steps 2, 3 and 4.
6. Wipe off any dust that has accumulated during shipping and
clean following the directions on page 17.
7. Plug the appliance into the power point. Don’t use a double
adaptor or extension cord.
8. It is recommended that you let the appliance run for an hour
or two (three hours for a freezer) before you put any food in
it. This will confirm that it is operating correctly and make the
conditions appropriate for food storage.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed your
refrigerator/freezer.

REFRIGERATOR OPERATION
WARNING
This series of refrigerators has been fitted with a ‘wet wall’
evaporator which is positioned behind the rear liner. The
rear liner will, at times be wet or appear frosted. This is
normal and demonstrates that the refrigerator is functioning
correctly. This product is designed to operate on a power
supply of 220/240 volts 50Hz. Connect to a separate
power point with a correctly earthed three pin socket.
Do not use double adaptors.
CONTROLLING THE TEMPERATURE IN YOUR REFRIGERATOR
Refrigerators work by transferring heat from the food inside
to the outside air. This operation makes the back and sides
of the refrigerator (particularly at start-up) feel warm – which
is normal. Make sure you fully close the refrigerator door
after loading or removing food. If the door is left partially
open, a heavy frost will coat the inside of the ice box.
Ensure shelves are pushed back completely to prevent them
holding the door open.
If the unit is unplugged, power lost or turned off, you must
wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting the unit. If you attempt
to restart the unit before this time delay, the refrigerator will
not start.
When the thermostat is turned to it’s lowest setting and past
the point of resistance, the appliance will not operate.
Turn the control knob clockwise to turn the appliance on.
Rotating clockwise will make the appliance colder.
For all models, ‘Less Cold’ corresponds to the warmest
temperature while ‘Colder’ the coldest.
Adjusting the control knobs of WIM1000 amd WIM1200
will adjust the temperature in both the fridge and freezer
compartments.
When the ambient room temperature is 16°C, a setting of half
way between ‘Less Cold’ and ‘Off’ recommended.
When the ambient room temperature is 25°C, a setting of half
way between ‘Off’ and ‘Colder’ recommended.
Less Cold

WARNING
Power is still supplied to the appliance
This series of refrigerator has been fitted with a hidden
“wet wall” cooling plate, which is positioned behind
the rear liner wall of the food compartment.
The rear liner may, at times, appear frosty or wet.
This is normal and demonstrates that the refrigerator
is functioning correctly.

ICE BOX MODELS –WIM1000 & WIM1200
The ice box compartment is not a deep freezer and is
designed for making ice cubes. It is not recommended for
the storage of frozen food.
ICE MAKING
To make ice cubes, fill the ice tray with water and place it
in the ice box. To remove ice cubes easily, run water on the
tray before gently twisting and inverting the tray.
DE-ICING
The de-icing system for the fridge compartment is automatic
in models WIM1200, and vertical fridges WRM1300
and WRM2400. The rear inside of the fridge is covered
with frost when the compressor operates and de-ices
when it stops. When the ice melts, the water evaporates
automatically. WIM1000 achieves its cooling from the
ice box.
DE-ICING THE ICE BOX
The ice box compartment must always be de-iced when the layer
o frost reaches a thickness of about 4mm. This compartment
should be de-iced at least once a year regardless of the thickness
of the frost. Model WIM1000 has the added feature of a drip
tray to collect the water. When de-icing, a scraper or plastic
utensil may be used. Never use metal instruments or electrical
appliances to de-ice the ice box.
1. Switch off and disconnect the appliance.
2. Remove the plug from the drain
(Model WIM1200 – diagram below)
3. Models WIM1200, WRM1300 and WRM2400 have an
additional ‘Drain Peg’ supplied with this user manual. Use
the drain peg to ensure the drain hole is not blocked before
defrosting (see diagram below). Do not leave the drain peg
in the drain hole.
4. Place a container underneath the drain hole to collect
the water.
5. To speed up the process, you can place a bowl of hot water
inside the compartment and close the door.
6. When de-icing is complete, clean the appliance before
restoring the power.

WARNING
WARNING
INITIAL START-UP
WARNING
Your freezer was cleaned and polished before it left the factory.
Before use, dust and wipe over inside and out using a clean
dry cloth.
This product is designed to operate on a power supply of
220/240 volts 50Hz. Connect to a separate power point
with a correctly earthed three pin socket. Do not use
double adaptors.
GENERAL INFORMATION
The freezer transfers heat from food placed inside to the outside
air. This process makes the rear and sides of the outer cabinet
feel warm to touch, particularly at initial start up. This is normal.
Make sure you fully close the freezer door after loading or
removing food. If the door is left partly open, a heavy frost will
coat the inside of the freezer. Ensure that baskets or bins are
pushed all the way in to prevent the door being held open.
If the unit is unplugged, power lost, or turned off you must wait
5 minutes before restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart
before this time delay, the freezer will not start.
CONTROLS
The temperature control is located on top of the front right hand
side of the cabinet on Models WFM0900 and WFM1800.
On Model WFM0700, the control knob is on the back of the
cabinet in the lower left corner.
Leave the control knob in the ‘Mid’ position for a trial period.
The control setting can be adjusted if required by rotating the
knob. Turn in a clockwise direction for a colder temperature.
When the thermostat is turned to its lowest setting and past the
point of resistance, the appliance will not operate.

FEATURES AND GENERAL HINTS
• Try not to leave the door open for too long, especially in
warm and humid climates.
• It is recommended that you wrap all food in freezer bags.
• Corned or pickled products (containing salts) must NOT be
stored in the freezer unless thoroughly sealed. Salts cause
metal oxidisation.
• In some circumstances (particularly after recent opening and
closing of the door) you may experience a heavier than
normal resistance when opening the door. Should this occur
wait a minute or two between openings to stabilise the air
pressure within the cabinet.
• If going away for an extended period, turn your freezer off,
remove all foods and dry interior thoroughly. Unplug the
freezer from the electrical outlet and leave the door open.
• If there is a power failure, do not open the door. Frozen foods
will stay frozen for up to 24 hours depending on temperature
and load conditions if the door is kept closed.
• It is recommended that to ensure safe food storage, the
freezer operates for 3 hours with the door closed before being
stocked with food. It is also recommended that you wait until
the following day before you purchase additional food, either
frozen or unfrozen, to stock your freezer.
WARNING
Do not touch freezer shelf surfaces, particularly when hands are
damp or wet. Extremely low temperatures may cause your hands
to stick.
DEFROSTING
Your freezer should be defrosted when frost is approximately
6mm thick otherwise it will interfere with efficient operation and
storage capacity. To ensure optimal hygiene and efficiency
complete defrosting is recommended at least twice a year,
preferably when food supply is low.
• Switch off power to freezer at power outlet and remove power
supply plug from electrical outlet.
• Remove frozen food, wrap in newspaper and place in a
cardboard box or esky.
• Leave door open and wait for the frost to soften. Pans of
hot water may be placed inside the freezer to speed up the
defrosting process.
• Place towels and a container to catch the water in the bottom
of the freezer.
WARNING
On no account should an electric heater or hair dryer be used
for defrosting the freezer.
CAUTION
Do not use a knife, metal scraper or sharp pointed tool or
instrument to remove ice as they may cause damage to the lining
of your freezer.
• Scrape the softened frost off the walls of your freezer using a
plastic scraper.
• After defrosting is complete and all of the water has
drained, wipe the freezer thoroughly with a damp cloth
before drying thoroughly.
• Reconnect the power cord to the electrical outlet
and switch on.
• Replace frozen food.

cleaners that will scratch the surface. Damage to the appliance
after delivery is not covered by your warranty.
• Interior
Clean the inside of your refrigerator regularly with a soft cloth,
unscented mild soap and lukewarm water. Thoroughly dry all
surfaces and removable parts and avoid getting water on the
controls. Replace removable parts, plug power cord in and
switch the power on before returning the food.
• Door seals
Always keep door seals clean by washing them with a mild
detergent and warm water, followed by a thorough drying.
Sticky food and drink can cause seals to stick to the cabinet
and tear when you open the door.
Never use hot water, solvents, commercial kitchen cleaners, aerosol
cleaners, metal polishes, caustic or abrasive cleaners, or scourers
to clean your refrigerator. Many commercially available cleaning
products and detergents contain solvents that will damage your
refrigerator. Use only a soft cloth with an unscented mild soap and
lukewarm water.
If your refrigerator has telescopic extension slides, simply wipe
them with a damp cloth to clean them and never immerse them
in water.
SAFETY
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities,
or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance
by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be
supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
ALWAYS DO THIS
Check the power point is properly earthed – if you are not
sure get an electrician to check it.
Switch off and unplug the refrigerator at the power point
before you clean or move it.
If the power supply cord is damaged, have it replaced by the
manufacturer, service agent or similarly qualified person.
NEVER DO THIS
Never let children play with the refrigerator.
Never store spray cans, explosive fluids or flammable liquids
in the refrigerator.
Never store fizzy drinks in the freezer compartment.
Never lick icy foods when they first come out of the freezer.
This can burn your your lips and mouth.

because you can receive an electric shock.
Never use electrical appliances inside the food storage areas.
This appliance contains insulation formed with flammable
blowing gases. For safety reasons, take care when you
dispose of it.

WHAT TO DO BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE
PROBLEM SOLUTION
Refrigerator is not
operating
When there is
refrigerator/freezer
noise
If heavy frosting
occurs in the freezer
If there are odours
inside the refrigerator
•
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.
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.
• A clicking noise heard just before the
compressor starts (this is just the automatic
switching action of the temperature
control, turning the compressor on or off).
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.
Make sure you fully close the freezer and
fridge doors. If the doors are left open,
a heavy frost will coat the inside of the
freezer. If a frost develops, remove it and
take care to properly close the doors.
• 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.
PROBLEM SOLUTION
When the motor
seems to run more
than expected
If the temperature
in the refrigerator is
too warm
If the temperature
in the refrigerator
is too cold
If water drips
on the floor
Ice build up on
freezer shelves
Moisture on inside
rear surface of
refrigerator
It is normal to frequently hear the sound of
the motor. However, to keep operation to
a minimum check the following:
• Are doors kept open too long
or too often?
• Are controls set too cold? See
‘Controls’ on page 12.
• Have large amounts of warm food just
recently been stored? Summer, festive
seasons and holidays usually mean a lot
more work for your refrigerator.
• 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 that 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 the installation instructions on
page 9.
• Refer to ‘Controls’ on page 12.
• You may have kept the door open
too long or too frequently.
• Food containers or packaging may
be holding a door open.
• Refer to ‘Controls’ on page 12.
• Increase the temperature to avoid
high energy consumption.
The defrost water tray, (located at the back
or underneath 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.
A freezer will normally build up ice in
several places and will not affect the correct
operation of the freezer. Over time when
this build up becomes inconvenient, it is
necessary to manually defrost product by
switching the product off, removing any food
and cleaning the product as described under
“DEFROSTING” on page 12.
The rear of the inside liner may, at times,
appear frosty and wet. This is normal for
refrigerators of this type and demonstrates
that the product is functioning correctly,
please refer to information on page 10.
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
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.
