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

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.
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
30mm to 70mm (X) minimum.
When positioned in a corner area, spacing of at least
350mm on the hinge side will allow the doors to open
enough to enable the removal of bins and shelves.
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.

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.
