INSTALLING YOUR NEW APPLIANCE
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.
• 30mm above the refrigerator.
• 50mm minimum/75mm maximum behind the
refrigerator.
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.
Recommended minimum clearances for WRM2400/
WFM1700
X
Y
If you have a cupboard above the
refrigerator with a rear gap of less
than 100mm (Y), recommended
minimum clearance at the top of
the refrigerator increases from
30mm to 70mm (X).
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 10-15mm 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.
10 –15mm
Height adjustable
front rollers
WARNING
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.
1. Move the appliance into its final 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.
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 fridge 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.

10 11ICE BOX MODELS
ICE BOX MODELS (WIM1000 & WIM1200)
NOTE: The ice box compartment of the WIM1000 is
recommended for only making ice, it is not for the
storage of frozen food.
Making ice
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
WRM1400 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.
INITIAL START-UP
INITIAL START-UP – FRIDGES
Refrigerator models WRM1400 & WRM2400 have 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.
WARNING
WARNING
Power is still supplied to the appliance.
Condensation caused
by the cooling plate
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.
De-icing the ice box
The ice box compartment must always be de-iced when
the layer of 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 from the
electricity supply.
2. Remove the plug from the drain (Model WIM1000
diagram below)
3. Place a container underneath the drain hole to
collect the water.

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.
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
WARNING
Do not touch freezer shelf surfaces, particularly when
hands are damp or wet. Extremely low temperatures
may cause your hands to stick.

colder temperature. When the thermostat is turned to
its lowest setting and past the point of resistance, the
appliance will not operate.
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.

WHAT TO DO BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE
PROBLEM SOLUTION
Refrigerator is not operating
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.
When there is refrigerator/freezer
noise
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 flow 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 floor 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.
If heavy frosting occurs in the freezer 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.
If there are odours inside the
refrigerator
• 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.
21TROUBLESHOOTING
Cleaning the refrigerator
WARNING
WARNING
BEFORE CLEANING: Turn the refrigerator off at the
power point and unplug the cord to prevent any chance
of electrocuting yourself.
WARNING
CAUTION
• Doors and exterior (white & silver)
You should only clean the doors with lukewarm
soapy water and a soft cloth.
• Silver finish
Your silver refrigerator is manufactured from mark-
resistant silver metal look steel. This silver metal look
steel has a special advanced protective coating that
eases the removal of marks such as fingerprints and
water spots. To keep its appearance, clean it regularly
with lukewarm soapy water and a soft cloth.
Never use stainless steel cleaners, abrasive pads or other
cleaners that will scratch the surface. Damage to the
appliance after delivery is not covered by your warranty.
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.

GENERAL INFORMATIONGENERAL INFORMATION
PROBLEM SOLUTION
When the motor seems to run more
than expected
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.
If the temperature in the refrigerator is
too warm
• Check that the appliance has enough clearance at the sides, back and
top. Refer to the installation instructions on page 8.
• 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.
If the temperature in the refrigerator is
too cold
• Refer to ‘Controls’ on page 12.
• Increase the temperature to avoid high energy consumption.
If water drips on the floor 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.
Ice build up on freezer shelves 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.
Moisture on inside rear surface of
refrigerator
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.
