• Allow a minimum of 10mm clearance
above the hinge cover.
• If you do not have a cupboard with
allowance for air flow above the
refrigerator, the recommended clearance
area on top increases to 90 mm.
• When positioned in a corner area, spacing
of at 350mm on the hinge side will allow
the doors to open enough to enable the
removal of bins and shelves.
NOTE: In installation where both sides and
the rear of the refrigerator are not enclosed
by cabinetry e.g. the refrigerator is placed
against a wall, the clearance between the
rear of refrigerator and the wall should not
be greater than 75mm.
You refrigerator uses energy efficient
components that may produce dierent
noises (Refer “Noises” page for examples) to
your old refrigerator. Occasionally a gurgling
sound of refrigerator flowing or the sound
of parts expanding and contracting can be
heard. These noises are quite normal.

5. USING 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 feel warm or even hot
particularly at start-up and on warm days –
this is normal.
Avoid placing food against the air vents
in the refrigerator as it aects efficient
circulation. If the door is opened frequently,
a light frosting will occasionally occur on
the freezer’s interior. This is normal and will
clear after a few days. If the freezer door is
accidentally kept open, a heavy frost will
coat the inside walls and should be removed.
Your new refrigerator uses a high-speed
compressor, along with other energy-
efficient components, which may make
unusual sounds and be more noticeable at
night and quieter times. These sounds simply
indicate your refrigerator is working how it
should. They include:
• Compressor running noises; modern, high
efficiency compressors run much faster
than older models.
• Air movement noise from the small fan
motor;
• A gurgling sound, similar to water boiling;
• A popping noise, heard during automatic
defrosting; and
• A clicking noise, prior to compressor
start-up. Further details can be found in
the Troubleshooting Guide.
For bottom mount refrigerators
(where freezer is below the fresh
food compartment):
• Ensure all freezer drawer and
shelves are pushed back
completely to prevent them from
keeping the door open.
For top mount refrigerators
(where freezer is on top the fresh
food compartment):
• Don’t place food forward of the
ribs on the freezer floor, as it will
obstruct the door from closing

Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old one didn’t make. Because the sounds
are new to you, you might be concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard
surfaces, like the floor, walls and cabinets, can make the sounds seem louder than they actually
are. The following describes the kinds of sounds and what may be making them.”
