Unpacking
ENVIRONMENT
Most of the packing materials are recyclable. Please dispose
of those materials through your local recycling depot or by
placing them in appropriate collection containers.
Important – check for any damages or marks. If you find the
refrigerator is damaged or marked, you must report it within 7
days should you wish to claim for damage/ marks under the
manufacturers warranty. This does not affect your statutory
rights.
Clean your refrigerator thoroughly following the instructions
in the "Cleaning" section and wipe off any dust that has
accumulated during shipping.
Locating the refrigerator
CAUTION
Automatic aerosol systems (such as insect control) should
not be located adjacent to the product as the spray may
cause long term damage to the external plastics of the
appliance.
Do not put the refrigerator in a location that is too
cold or is unprotected, for example in a garage or on a
veranda. The ambient temperature should be above 10°C.
Put the refrigerator in a dry place avoiding areas of high
moisture or humidity.
Ensure the refrigerator is located on an even surface.
Adequate ventilation around your refrigerator
The diagram below shows the recommended airspace to
allow for ventilation of your refrigerator.
50mm
Recommended
air space
CABINET DOOR
If you have a cupboard above the refrigerator with a rear
gap of less than 100 mm (Y), recommended clearance at the
top of the refrigerator increases from 50mm to 90mm (X)
minimum.
When positioned in a corner area, spacing of at least
350mm (300mm for multi-door models) on the hinge side will
allow the doors to open enough to enable the removal of
bins and shelves.
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.

Roll the refrigerator into place. The rollers are designed
for forward or backward movement only. They are not
astors. 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.

Wind the large height adjusting nut under door hinge
down until the refrigerator is tilted back by 10mm
(see diagram).
Height adjusting nut
3.
Wind the large 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.
