5Installation
Clean the refrigerator thoroughly according to instructions and wipe
away any dust that has accumulated during shipping.
Check that the floor is level. If it is not, adjust the stabilising foot so
that the refrigerator is level and stable.
We recommend that the refrigerator be turned on and left to run for
two to three hours before placing any food inside it. This will allow
you to check that it is operating properly and there is adequate cool
air in the freezer.
Installation clearances
• Allow a minimum of 30mm clearance on both sides of the
refrigerator.
• Allow a minimum of 50mm clearance at the back of the
refrigerator.
• Allow a minimum of 50mm (X) clearance above the refrigerator.
• If you do not have above cupboard with a rear gap of minimum
100mm (Y), recommended clearance at the top of the refrigerator
is 90mm (X).
• When positioned in a corner, the clearance must be
at least 350mm on the hinge side to allow the door to open
smoothly so that bins and shelves can be removed easily.

NOTE: Refrigerator doors on all models are designed to sit proud
of cabinetry (not flush). In installations where both sides and the rear
of the refrigerator are not enclosed by cabinetry eg the refrigerator
is placed against a wall, the clearance between the rear of the
refrigerator and the wall should not be greater than 75mm.
Installation
Initial start up
When in operation, the outside of the refrigerator will feel
warm, particularly at start up. This is normal.
Avoid placing food against air outlets as this will impede air
circulation.
A light frosting will occasionally occur on the cold interior of the
freezer if the door is opened frequently. This is normal and the
frost will disappear after a few days in most climates.
Make sure that the freezer and fresh food doors are fully
closed after you have loaded or removed food from these
compartments. If the doors are left partly opened, a heavy frost
will coat the inside of the freezer. If this occurs, remove the frost.
Ensure that all doors are properly closed to prevent frost from
reappearing.
Your refrigerator uses energy efficient components that
may produce different noises from your old refrigerator.
Occasionally, a gurgling sound of refrigerant flowing or sound
of parts expanding or contracting can be heard. These noises
are quite normal. Refer to page 10 for more details on product
noises.
Cleaning
Exterior
Clean the refrigerator with only lukewarm soapy water and a
soft cloth. Rinse the clean water and then wipe the surface with
a soft clean cloth to remove any soap residue.
Interior
Clean the refrigerator interior regularly. Turn power off. Wipe
the interior with a soft cloth and lukewarm soapy water.
Thoroughly dry all surfaces and removable parts. Avoid getting
water on the refrigerator controls. If you have taken out any
removable parts, replace them and switch on the power before
re-stocking the refrigerator. Wipe away thoroughly any food
spills.
Keep door seals clean
Ensure that the door seals are always clean. Sticky food and
drinks can cause seals to adhere to the cabinet and may cause
tear when opening the door. Wash seals with lukewarm soapy
water. Rinse thoroughly and dry
WARNING
warning
Never use hot water, solvents, commercial kitchen cleaners,
aerosol cleaners, metal polishers, caustic or abrasive
cleaners or scourers to clean the appliance as they will
damage it. Many commercially available cleaning products
and detergents contain solvents that will damage your
refrigerator. When cleaning, use only a soft cloth and
lukewarm soapy water.
