Features may vary depending on model. Not all models will have features listed.
Before you move your appliance into the place where it
will operate, check that it will have adequate clearance.
Clearance is required for air circulation and too little
clearance may affect the performance of your appliance.
We recommend minimum clearances of:
• 30mm on each side.
• 25mm above the refrigerator.
• 50mm minimum/75mm maximum behind the refrigerator
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.
The appliance should arrive with the front levelling feet
wound up. The appliance may need to be tilted backward
at the top by about 10-15mm from vertical (see diagram
below). This will allow the door to gravitate to the closed
position. The complete closure of the door seal is reliant on
manually pushing the door closed to provide a consistent
door seal.
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. Move the appliance into its final position.
2. If the appliance is not tilting back as described earlier,
minor adjustments can be made to the two front
levelling legs by turning the feet in an anticlockwise
direction (below). This will increase the height of
the feet. If you have difficulty turning the foot, have
someone tilt the appliance back to gain better access.
If it is not tilted back enough and the levelling legs are
fully extended, additional packing might be required
(see note 4 for appropriate materials).
3. Compare the alignment of the appliance to the
surrounding cupboard. The top of the appliance should
be level from side to side (see diagram below). If
you need to adjust the level, use the levelling feet as
detailed in step 2.
4. If the appliance now rocks from one corner to the
opposite rear corner, this means that the floor is uneven.
You may need to put some packing under the ridge to
the rear of the appliance. You could use thin pieces of
solid material such as thin board, vinyl floor tiles
or laminate.
5. You may now need to fine tune the installation by
repeating steps 2, 3 and 4.
6. Wipe off any dust that has accumulated during shipping
and clean following the directions on page 11.
7. Plug the appliance into the power point. Don’t use a
double adaptor or extension cord.
8. It is recommended that you let the appliance operate
for an hour or two (three hours for a freezer) before you
put any food in it. This will confirm that it is operating
correctly and make the conditions appropriate for
food storage.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed your
refrigerator/freezer.

Your appliance was cleaned and polished before it left
the factory. Before use, dust and wipe over inside and out
using a clean dry cloth. This product is designed to operate
on a power supply of 220/240 volts 50Hz. Connect to
a separate power point with a correctly earthed three pin
socket. Do not use double adaptors.
To make the appliance operate you must turn the knob
clockwise. For all models, ‘Less Cold’ corresponds to the
warmest temperature while ‘Colder’ the coldest. When the
ambient room temperature is 16°C, a setting of half way
between ‘Less Cold’ and ‘Mid’ would be appropriate.
When the ambient room temperature is 25°C, a setting of
half way between ‘Mid’ and ‘Colder’ could be selected.
The freezer slide control is used to balance the air flow
between the freezer and the refrigerator compartments.
The main temperature control is the control knob in the
refrigerator compartment. For optimum performance position
the freezer control on ‘Less Cold’. If the food is not frozen
enough you may be required to move the slide control (or
knob) towards the ‘Colder’ position
When you change temperature settings, make small
adjustments and wait 24 hours before assessing whether
you need to make further changes.
Defrosting takes place automatically. The defrost water
flows down to the evaporating tray, which is located in the
machine compartment and is evaporated automatically.
The refrigerator/freezer transfers heat from food placed
inside to the outside air. This process makes the rear and
sides of the outer cabinet feel warm to touch, particularly at
initial start up. This is normal.
Make sure you fully close the freezer door after loading
or removing food. If the door is left partly open, a heavy
frost will coat the inside of the freezer. Ensure that bins and
shelves are pushed all the way in to prevent the door being
held open.
If the unit is unplugged, power lost, or turned off you must
wait 5 minutes before restarting the unit. If you attempt to
restart before this time delay, the freezer will not start.
• Try not to leave the door open for too long, especially in
warm and humid climates.
• It is recommended that you wrap all food in freezer bags.
• Corned or pickled products (containing salts) must NOT
be stored in the freezer unless thoroughly sealed. Salts
cause metal oxidisation.
• In some circumstances (particularly after recent opening
and closing of the door) you may experience a heavier
than normal resistance when opening the door. Should
this occur wait a minute or two between openings to
stabilise the air pressure within the cabinet.
• If going away for an extended period, turn your freezer
off, remove all foods and dry interior thoroughly. Unplug
the freezer from the electrical outlet and leave the
door open.
• If there is a power failure, do not open the door. Frozen
foods will stay frozen for up to 24 hours depending
on temperature and load conditions if the door is kept
closed.
•It is recommended that to ensure safe food storage, the
freezer operates for 3 hours with the door closed before
being stocked with food. It is also recommended that
you wait until the following day before you purchase
additional food, either frozen or unfrozen, to stock
your freezer.
To make ice cubes, fill the ice tray with water and place
it in the ice box. Avoid filling above the ice box grid to
facilitate ice release. To remove ice cubes easily, run water
on the tray before gently twisting the tray and inverting.
Refrigerator Compartment
• Store fresh food in the refrigerator compartment. How
food is frozen and thawed is an important factor in
maintaining its freshness and flavour.
• Do not store fruit that spoils easily at low temperatures,
such as bananas, pineapples and melons.
• Give hot food time to cool prior to storing. Placing hot
food in the refrigerator could spoil other food and lead to
higher power bills.
• When storing, cover food with cling wrap or store in
a container with a lid. This will prevent moisture from
evaporating and helps food keep its taste and nutrients.
• Do not block air vents with food. Unhampered circulation
of chilled air keeps refrigerator temperatures even.
• Do not open the door frequently. Opening the door
allows warm air into the refrigerator causing temperatures
to rise.
• Avoid placing moist food deep inside refrigerator shelves.
It could freeze upon direct contact with the cold air
straight from the vents.
• Always clean fruit and vegetables prior to refrigeration.
These should be washed and wiped to prevent adjacent
foods from spoiling.
• When storing eggs in the trays provided, ensure that
they are fresh and always store them in an upright
position to keep them fresh longer.
Freezer Compartment
• Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment as they
may break when frozen.
• Do not re-freeze food that has been thawed.
• When storing frozen foods like ice cream for an
extended period, place it on the freezer shelf not in
the door bin.
The reversing of doors or replacement of light bulbs is
not covered by warranty. Assistance, if required can be
arranged by calling our service centre on 13 13 49.

shortening its life.
7. Clip the light lens on and replace the screw.
8. Wait 5 minutes to ensure pressures in the refrigeration
system are equalised, before turning the refrigerator on
at the power point.
WARNING
Never insert your finger into the light bulb socket.
In order to access the light housing, the chiller door and
chiller drawer need to be removed.
There is a node on each side at the top of the chiller door.
These ‘nodes’ allow the door to swivel open and shut and
also secure the door to ‘C ’ shaped clips on each side of
the refrigerator liner. The clip on the left liner wall faces the
back of the refrigerator, while the clip on the right liner wall
faces the front. To remove the door, push back against the
left top corner of the door, while pulling the top right corner
of the door forward.
Remove the chiller door.
To replace the chiller door, slot the node on the top left
hand corner of the chiller door, left into the clip on the
cabinet lining. Push the node on the top right corner of the
chiller door, back into the clip on the cabinet lining.
5. Unscrew the light bulb in an anti-clockwise direction.

WARNING
BEFORE CLEANING: Turn the refrigerator off at the power
point and unplug the cord to prevent any chance of
electrocuting yourself.
You should only clean the doors with lukewarm soapy
water and a soft cloth.
Your stainless steel refrigerator is manufactured from
mark-resistant stainless steel. This stainless steel has
a special advanced protective coating that eases
the removal of marks such as fingerprints and water
spots. To keep its appearance, clean it regularly with
lukewarm soapy water and a soft cloth.
CAUTION
Never use stainless steel cleaners, abrasive pads or other
cleaners that will scratch the surface. Damage to the
appliance after delivery is not covered by your warranty.
Clean the inside of your refrigerator regularly with a
soft cloth, unscented mild soap and lukewarm water.

Left sided hinging assembly
Refrigerator is not
operating
•
Check that the power cord is plugged
into the power outlet properly and that
the outlet is switched ‘ON’.
• Try running another appliance from the
power outlet. If no power is coming
from the outlet you may have blown
a fuse or tripped a circuit of your
household power supply.
• Try adjusting the temperature control to
a slightly “colder” position.
• It is normal for the freezer fan NOT to
operate during the automatic defrost
cycle, or for a short time after the
appliance is switched on.
When there is
refrigerator/freezer
noise
Modern refrigerators/freezers with
increased storage capacity use high
speed compressors. These can provide
a seemingly high level of sound which is
quite normal. Normal operational sounds
include:
• Occasional gurgling, similar to water
boiling.
• Air ow noise (air circulates because of
a small fan).
• A popping noise heard during
automatic defrost.
• A clicking noise heard just before
the compressor starts (this is just
the automatic switching action of
the temperature control, turning the
compressor on or off).
Other strange sounds may mean that
you need to check and take action. For
example, noises may mean that:
• The cabinet is not level.
• The oor is uneven or weak.
• Bottles are badly placed and rattling.
• There are vibrations from an object
on top of or behind or beside the
refrigerator.
• The back of the refrigerator cabinet is
touching the wall.
Remember it is quite normal for noise to
seem louder just after the refrigerator
starts operating.
If there are odours
inside the refrigerator
• The interior may need cleaning.
• Some foods produce odours.
• Some containers and wrapping can
cause odours.
• Ask yourself if the odour started about
the same time you started storing
something unusual.
When the motor
seems to run more than
expected
Your new refrigerator has a large fridge
and freezer section to keep cool. So it is
normal to frequently hear the sound of the
motor. However, to keep operation to a
minimum check the following:
• Are doors kept open too long or too
often?
• Are controls set too cold? See
‘Controlling the temperature’ on
page 7.
• Have large amounts of warm food just
recently been stored? Summer, festive
seasons and holidays usually mean a
lot more work for your refrigerator.
• If the day is hot or the room is very
warm, the refrigerator will need to run
more than normal.
• The refrigerator will run more that
normal just after you install it or when it
has been turned off for a long time.
If the temperature in the
refrigerator is too warm
• Check that the appliance has enough
clearance at the sides, back and top.
Refer to the installation instructions on
page 6.
• Refer to ‘Controlling the temperature’
on page 7.
• You may have kept the door open too
long or too frequently.
• Food containers or packaging may be
holding a door open.
If the temperature in the
refrigerator is too cold
• Refer to ‘Controlling the temperature’
on page 7.
• Increase the temperature to avoid high
energy consumption.
If heavy frosting occurs
in the freezer
Make sure you fully close the freezer and
fridge doors. If the doors are left open,
a heavy frost will coat the inside of the
freezer. If a frost develops, remove it and
take care to properly close the doors.
If water drips on the
floor
The defrost water tray, (located at the
back or underneath of the cabinet) may
not be properly positioned, or the drain
tube may not be properly positioned to
direct water into this tray. You may need
to pull the refrigerator away from the wall
to check the tray and tube.
If you have a problem, and the problem persists after you
have made the checks mentioned above, contact your
nearest approved Service Centre or the dealer you bought
the refrigerator from. Be ready to quote the model number,
9-digit PNC and 8-digit serial number, which is stated on
the label inside the refrigerator compartment.
