The appliance should arrive with the stability foot wound fully up
so it will not interfere with the operation of the rollers (see diagram
in Step 3 below).
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 its final position.
2. The top of the refrigerator should be tilted back by
approximately 20mm. This will allow the doors to self-close
providing a consistent door seal and stability when the doors
are open.
3. When you have the appliance in its final position, it needs to
be stabilised. Wind the stability foot down to the floor until
it just makes contact with the floor. Whenever you need to
move the appliance, be sure to wind the foot back up so
that the appliance can roll freely and be sure to reset it when
reinstalling.
4. Check the alignment of the refrigerator to the surrounding
cupboards. The top of the refrigerator should be level from
side to side (see diagram below). If you need to adjust the level,
use the adjustable rollers as discussed in Step 3.

Installing your new refrigerator
When correctly installed, your appliance should:
• Have adequate clearance to the back and sides
for air circulation.
• Be aligned to the surrounding cupboards.
• Have doors that will self-close from a partially
open position.
• Have the stability foot in place (see diagram on page 4) to
prevent the appliance falling forward when a door with heavy
food load is opened.
Clearance around your refrigerator
Your Side by Side Refrigerator can be installed between cupboards
or fixtures but you must allow for the following spaces around the
cabinet.
1. Allow a minimum of 10mm clearance on both sides.
2. Allow 30mm clearance at the back of the refrigerator.
3. Allow a minimum of 10mm clearance above hinge covers.

4. Allow a 250 or 300mm clearance on the hinge side of the
doors, if you place the refrigerator next to the wall. This will
make cleaning easier.

than the refrigerator cabinet.
Note: Refrigerator doors on all models are designed to sit proud
of cabinetry (not flush).
