INSTALLING YOUR NEW

APPLIANCE

Unpacking

ENVIRONMENT

Most of the packing materials are recyclable. Please dispose of those materials through your local recycling depot or by placing them in appropriate collection containers.

Important – check for any damages or marks. If you find the refrigerator is damaged or marked, you must report it within 7 days should you wish to claim for damage/ marks under the manufacturers warranty. This does not affect your statutory rights.

Clean your refrigerator thoroughly following the instructions in the “Cleaning” section and wipe off any dust that has accumulated during shipping.

Locating the refrigerator

CAUTION

Automatic aerosol systems (such as insect control) should not be located adjacent to the product as the spray may cause long term damage to the external plastics of the appliance.

Do not put the refrigerator in a location that is too cold or is unprotected, for example in a garage or on a veranda. The ambient temperature should be above 10°C.

Put the refrigerator in a dry place avoiding areas of high moisture or humidity.

Ensure the refrigerator is located on an even surface.

Adequate ventilation around your refrigerator

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

30mm	50mm	30mm			350mm
	airspace		X	Y
	Recommended
	CABINET
	DOOR

If you have a cupboard above the refrigerator with a rear gap of less than 100 mm (Y), recommended clearance at the top of the refrigerator increases from 50mm to 90mm

(X) minimum.

When positioned in a corner area, spacing of at least 350mm (300mm for multi-door models) on the hinge side will allow the doors to open enough to enable the removal of bins and shelves.

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

1.Roll the refrigerator into place.

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. Before moving your refrigerator ensure height adjusting nut and the stability foot are fully wound up off the floor.

2.Wind the large height adjusting nut under door hinge down until the refrigerator is tilted back by 10mm (see diagram).

10 -15mm

Height adjusting nut

Fixed rear rollers

3.Wind the large height adjusting nut on the handle side down until the refrigerator is level and stable. If you have difficulty winding the nut or height adjusting foot down, have someone tilt the refrigerator back so you have better access.

4.Check the alignment of the refrigerator to the surrounding cupboards to see if it is level. You can adjust the level as detailed in step 2 and 3.
