. INSTALLING YOUR NEW APPLIANCE
Clean the refrigerator thoroughly according to
instruction, and wipe away any dust that has
accumulated during shipping.
Check that the floor is level. If it is not then
adjust the provided leveling leg so product is
level and stable.
We recommend that you let your refrigertor run
for two to three hours before you put any food
in it. This will allow you to check that it is
operating properly and that enough cool air is
going to the freezer.
Clearance around your Top and Bottom Mount
refrigerator;
• Allow a minimum of 30mm clearance on both
sides of the refrigerator.
• Allow 50mm clearance at the back of the
refrigerator.
• Allow a minimum of 10mm clearance above
the hinge cover.
• If you do not have a cupboard with allowance
for air flow above the refrigerator, the
recommended clearance area on top
increases to 90 mm.
• When positioned in a corner area, spacing of
at 350mm on the hinge side will allow the
doors to open enough to enable the removal
of bins and shelves.
NOTE: In installation where both sides and the
rear of the refrigerator are not enclosed by
cabinetry e.g. the refrigerator is placed against
a wall, the clearance between the rear of
refrigerator and the wall should not be greater
than 75mm.
You refrigerator uses energy efficient
components that may produce different noises
(Refer “Noises” page for examples) to your old
refrigerator. Occasionally a gurgling sound of
refrigerator flowing or the sound of parts
expanding and contracting can be heard.
These noises are quite normal.

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 height adjusting nut under door
hinge down until the refrigerator is tilted back
by 10mm (see diagram).
3. Wind the 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.
4. Check the alignment of the refrigerator to the
surrounding cupboards to see if it is level.
You can adjust the level as detailed in step 2
and 3.
