SAFETY INSTALLATION
54
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.
Avoid placing food against air outlets as this will impede
air circulation.
A light frosting will occasionally occur on the cold interior
GENERAL WARNINGS INSTALL ATION
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.
