Locate your Fridge freezer away from sources of heat e.g. cookers, radiators, direct sunlight as extreme
temperatures will effect how efficiently your freezer works.
Also avoid direct sunlight as it may increase the electrical consumption, extreme cold ambient temperatures
may also cause the unit not to perform properly. The fridge freezer is not designed for use in a garage or
outdoor installation; do not drape the unit with a covering.
Never place the fridge freezer in a wall recess or fitted cabinets or furniture as this will not allow adequate
ventilation and cause a potential fire hazard. When installing the unit, ensure that 100mm of free space at
the rear of the product and adequate clearance on each side and over the top.
Use whichever dimensions suit your installation requirements best.
Providing you follow the recommended ventilation requirements you will:
Increase the life of the Fridge freezer.
Minimise the risk of condensation on the outside of the product.
Minimise the running costs.
Minimise operating noises caused by vibration.
Levelling
Once the refrigerator is positioned in its final location, it can be leveled using the adjustable feet at the front
of the unit until they are firmly placed on the floor. Correctly leveling the fridge freezer will stop any rocking or
vibration and keep the door aligned which helps the freezer run reliably and efficiently.
Door Fitting
The unit door can be fitted to open to either the left or the right depending on the location. The appliance
must be tilted and supported in order to carry this out. It is therefore advisable to get some help during this
procedure. Take care when fitting and tightening screws.

4. Remove the main door assembly from the refrigerator cabinet (open door and pull down)
5. Remove the screws from the middle hinge assembly, remove the hinge and freezer door and turn
the middle beam over 180 degrees
6. Remove the top hinge pin
7. Re-install the top hinge pin on the opposite side of the cabinet
8. Remove the door plugs and door bushings located on the top and bottom of each door.
9. Interchange positions of plugs and bushings on both doors(i.e. door plug right side, door bushing left
side)
10. Re-install freezer door assembly on cabinet
