Adequate ventilation around your refrigerator
The diagram below shows the recommended airspace
to allow for ventilation of your refrigerator.
If 5 mm side clearance, the fridge cabinet must sit at least
5 mm proud of kitchen cabinetry for doors to open.
A 5 mm side clearance requires 50 mm rear clearance and
50–90mm clearance above. If you don’t have a cupboard
with a rear gap, the recommended clearance area on top
increases from 50mm to 90mm (x) and from 32mm to
72mm (y). When positioned in a corner area, spacing of
at least 300mm on the sides will allow the doors to open
enough to enable the removal of bins and shelves.

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.
Installing your refrigerator
Your new refrigerator should arrive with the front adjustable
rollers wound down, to tilt the top backwards by about
10mm from upright. This will allow your freezer drawer
to self-close, providing a consistent closed seal.

INSTALLING YOUR NEW APPLIANCE
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. Roll the refrigerator into place.
2. The top of the refrigerator should be tilted back by
10mm (see diagram on left).
3. If the refrigerator isn’t tilted back, you can adjust the
two front rollers by turning the large, plastic roller nut.
(see diagram below). One turn of the nut increases the
height of the refrigerator by 10mm. If you have difficulty
turning the roller nut, have someone tilt the refrigerator
back, so you have better access. Alternatively, you
can access the rollers from the side, using a flat
screwdriver. (See diagram below).

4. Check the alignment of the refrigerator to the
surrounding cupboards to see if it is level. You can
adjust the level with the rollers as detailed in step 3.

5. After you have tried Step 3 and 4, and still find your
refrigerator rocks from corner to corner, it means your
floor is uneven. Find a piece of plastic or hardboard
etc. and pack it firmly under the rear roller.
6. On certain floor surfaces the refrigerator may roll
forward during operation. Where provided a “Roller
Stop” can be placed under the front rollers. If roller
stop is required, please contact Customer Service
(details on back page) and quote part no. 1448845.
