INSTALLATION
The refrigerator should arrive with the front rollers wound
down. We recommend that the appliance be tilted
backwards by about 10 to 15 millimetres, this will allow
the doors to self close providing a consistent door seal.
To do this follow the instructions below.
Height adjustable
front rollers
Fixed rear rollers
10 -15mm
When you want to install your appliance, take the
following steps.
1. Rolltherefrigeratorintoit’sfinalposition.
WARNING
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.
2. If the refrigerator is not tilted back you can adjust the
two front rollers by adjusting the large plastic roller
nut (refer page 11). You may need two people, one
to adjust rollers and one to tilt the refrigerator slightly
back to take the weight of the appliance off the front
rollers. This will increase or decrease the height of the
rollers. One turn of the nut will change the tilt of the
refrigerator by approximately 5mm.
3. If the cabinet is level, then the side walls should be
plumb or vertical. If the cabinet is built in or partly built
in check the alignment of the cabinet side against
the cupboard.
