TIPS & INFORMATION

 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 the refrigerator” section and wipe off any dust 
that has accumulated during shipping.

Locating the refrigerator

WARNING

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.

Recommended 

airspace

Cabinet 

door

50mm

X

Y

30mm

30mm

350mm

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.

Installing your refrigerator

1.   Roll the refrigerator into place.

 

 The rollers are designed for forward or backward 
movement only. They are not castors. 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.

2.    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. 

Stability foot

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.
