5. If 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 weight 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.

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 is
recommended you leave it on for 2 or 3 hours to
check it is running properly.
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 noise 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.

For top mount refrigerators (where the freezer is
on top of the fresh food compartment).

Don’t place food forward of the ribs on the freezer floor, as
it will keep the door open.
