Installing and Cleaning the Refrigerator
Clean the refrigerator thoroughly according to instructions
and wipe away any dust that has accumulated during
shipping.
Check that the floor is level. If it is not, adjust the stabilising
foot so that the refrigerator is level and stable.
We recommend that the refrigerator be turned on and
left to run for two to three hours before placing any food
inside it. This will allow you to check that it is operating
properly and there is adequate cool air in the freezer.
Installation clearances
• Allow a minimum of 30mm clearance on both sides
of the refrigerator.
• Allow a 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 a rear gap,
the recommended clearance at the back of the
refrigerator is 90mm.
• When positioned in a corner, the clearance must be
at least 350mm on the hinge side to allow the door
to open smoothly so that bins and shelves can be
removed easily.
Note: Refrigerator doors on all models are designed to sit
proud of cabinetry (not flush). The refrigerator should be
placed against a wall and the clearance between the rear of
the refrigerator and the wall should be greater than 75mm.
When in operation, the outside of the refrigerator will feel
warm, particularly at start up. This is normal.
Avoid placing food against air outlets as this will impede
air circulation.
A light frosting will occasionally occur on the cold interior
of the freezer if the door is opened frequently. This is
normal and the frost will disappear after a few days in
most climates.
Make sure that the freezer and fresh foods doors are
fully closed after you have loaded or removed food from
these compartments. If the doors are left partly opened, a
heavy frost will coat the inside of the freezer. If this occurs,
remove the frost. Ensure that all doors are properly closed
to prevent frost from reappearing.
Your refrigerator uses energy efficient components that
may produce different noises from your old refrigerator.
Occasionally, a gurgling sound of refrigerant flowing or
sound of parts expanding or contracting can be heard.
These noises are quite normal.
Exterior
Clean the refrigerator with only lukewarm soapy water
and a soft cloth. Rinse the clean water and then wipe
the surface with a soft clean cloth to remove any soap
residue.
Interior
Clean the refrigerator interior regularly. Turn power off.
Wipe the interior with a soft cloth and lukewarm soapy
water. Thoroughly dry all surfaces and removable parts.
Avoid getting water on the refrigerator controls. If you
have taken out any removable parts, replace them and
switch on the power before re-stocking the refrigerator.
Wipe away thoroughly any food spills.
Keep door seals clean
Ensure that the door seals are always clean. Sticky food
and drinks can cause seals to adhere to the cabinet and
may cause tear when opening the door. Wash seals with
lukewarm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
Never use hot water, solvents, commercial kitchen
cleaners, aerosol cleaners, metal polishers, caustic or
abrasive cleaners or scourers to clean the appliance as
they will damage it. Many commercially available cleaning
products and detergents contain solvents that will
damage your refrigerator. When cleaning, use only a soft
cloth and lukewarm soapy water.
