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 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.
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 10mm clearance above the
hinge cover.
• If you do not have a cupboard with a rear gap, the recommended
clearance above the refrigerator is 90mm.
• When positioned in a corner, the clearance must be
at least 350mm on the hinge side to allow the door to open
smoothly so that bins and shelves can be removed easily.

NOTE: Refrigerator doors on all models are designed to sit proud
of cabinetry (not flush). In installations where both sides and the rear
of the refrigerator are not enclosed by cabinetry eg the refrigerator
is placed against a wall, the clearance between the rear of the
refrigerator and the wall should not be greater than 75mm.
General warnings Installation
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.
Initial start up
When in operation, the outside of the refrigerator will feel
warm, particularly at start up. This is normal.
Avoid placing food against air outlets as this will impede air
circulation.
A light frosting will occasionally occur on the cold interior 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. Refer to page 10 for more details on product
noises.
Cleaning
Exterior
Clean the refrigerator with only lukewarm soapy water and a
soft cloth. Rinse the 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
tear when opening the door. Wash seals with lukewarm soapy
water. Rinse thoroughly and dry
WARNING
warning
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.
