VIRONMENTAL TIPS
ARNING
CAUTION
Automatic aerosol systems (such as insect control)
should not be located adjacent to the product as the
spray may cause long term damage to the external
plastics of the appliance.
Do not put the refrigerator in a location that is too
cold or is unprotected, for example in a garage or on a
veranda. The ambient temperature should be above 10°C.
Put the refrigerator in a dry place avoiding areas of high
moisture or humidity.
Ensure the refrigerator is located on an even surface.
Adequate ventilation around your refrigerator
The diagram below shows the recommended airspace to
allow for ventilation of your refrigerator.

X
Y
If you have a cupboard above the refrigerator with a rear
gap of less than 100 mm (Y), recommended clearance at
the top of the refrigerator increases from 50mm to 90mm
(X) minimum.
When positioned in a corner area, spacing of at least
350mm (300mm for multi-door models) on the hinge side
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.
Unpacking
ENVIRONMENT
Most of the packing materials are recyclable. Please
dispose of those materials through your local recycling
depot or by placing them in appropriate collection
containers.
Important – check for any damages or marks. If you find the
refrigerator is damaged or marked, you must report it
within 7 days should you wish to claim for damage/ marks
under the manufacturers warranty. This does not affect
your statutory rights.
Clean your refrigerator thoroughly following the instructions
in the “Cleaning” section and wipe off any dust that has
accumulated during shipping.
Locating the refrigerator
Installing your refrigerator
1. Roll the refrigerator into place. 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.
Before moving your refrigerator ensure height
adjusting nut and the stability foot are fully wound up
off the floor.
2. Wind the large height adjusting nut under door hinge
down until the refrigerator is tilted back by 10mm
(see diagram).
Height adjusting nut
Fixed rear rollers
10 -15mm
3. Wind the large height adjusting nut on the handle side
down until the refrigerator is level and stable. If you
have difficulty winding the nut or height adjusting foot
down, have someone
tilt the refrigerator back so you
have better access.

8 INSTALLATION
INSTALLING YOUR NEW REFRIGERATOR
INSTALLING YOUR NEW REFRIGERATOR
5. I f you 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
roller.
6. You may now need to fine-tune the installation by
repeating steps 3, 4 and 5.
7. When you have the appliance in its final position, it
needs to be stabilised. Wind the stability foot under the
door hinge down to the floor until it just makes contact
with the floor. Lift the front of the appliance to take the
weZight off the stability foot, then turn it half a turn
further to ensure firm contact with the floor. Wind the
large height adjusting nut back up to ensure all the
weight is now on the front stability foot.
8. Repeat step 7 for the stability foot on the handle side.
Whenever you need to move the appliance, be sure to
wind the feet back up so that the appliance can roll
freely and be sure to reset it when reinstalling.
Fitting the handles
The handles are supplied prepackaged in
side your
refrigerator and will require fitting.
Refer to the instructions provided in the pack.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed your new
refrigerator.
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 affects 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;
• Air movement n
oise 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.
TIPS & INFORMATION
IMPORTANT
For top mount refrigerators (where the freezer is on top of
the fresh food compartment).
• Don’t place food forward of the ri
bs on the freezer
floor, as it will keep the door open.
Ribs
For bottom mount refrigerators (where freezer is below the
fresh food compartment):
• Ensure all freezer drawers and shelves are pushed
back comple
tely to prevent them from keeping the
door open.

USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR 9
9. Plug your refrigerator straight into its own power point
and never use a double adapter. If you need to roll the
refrigerator to get to the plug, remember to raise the
stability foot first.
10. Before you put any food in your refrigerator, it’s
recommended you leave it on for 2 or 3 hours to check
it is running properly.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Appliance noise
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.
TROUBLESHOOTING 21

Check that large amounts of warm food have not just been placed inside the
appliance.
Note that the appliance will run more than normal just after you install it or when
adjusting to temperature setting changes.
The exterior of the appliance is warm or hot
to touch
This is normal because the appliance
transfers heat from the inside out through
the outer panels and the divider between
the doors.
Ensure the appliance has the external clearances recom
mended in the section
“Installing your new appliance”.
The exterior of the cabinet will be much warmer on warmer days it may even feel
hot to touch, as the appliance is working harder.
