INSTALLING YOUR NEW APPLIANCE
Adequate ventilation around your refrigerator.
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.
Installing your refrigerator or freezer
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.
WARNING
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 17.
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 run 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.
