INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Before placing food in the fresh food or freezer compartments
●
●
Remove all internal packaging. Ensure that all transit clips are removed from the
refrigerator. These are small rubber stoppers located at the back of the shelves.
●
●
Clean the inside of the appliance with a mix of warm water and a small amount of liquid
detergent, and a soft cloth to remove manufacturing and transportation dust.
●
●
Allow the refrigerator and freezer to run empty for 2 – 3 hours to allow each
compartment to cool to the appropriate temperature.
●
●
The appliance may have an odour on its initial operation, but this will go when the
refrigerator and freezer have cooled sufficiently.
Energy efficiency
For the most energy efficient use of your appliance:
●
●
Ensure your refrigerator has adequate ventilation.
●
●
Do not cover your appliance with any material that will prevent air from flowing around
the cabinet sides.
●
●
Ensure you vacuum around the appliance to remove dust and possible pet hair
accumulation. Also keep the appliance and it’s cabinetry free of dust by wiping down
with a dry, lint-free cloth (refer to sections ‘Cleaning care instructions’, ‘Cabinet
surround’ for your specific model).
●
●
Allow good clearances in front of air ducts within the cabinet for maximum cold air
distribution.
●
●
Cool hot foods down before placing them in the appliance.
●
●
Do not overfill the compartments.
●
●
Keep door openings to a minimum.
●
●
Select a temperature setting that isn’t too cold.
●
●
Check your door seals for leaks.
