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.

6.    You may now need to fine-tune the installation by 

repeating steps 3, 4 and 5.

7.    When you have the appliance in its final position, it needs 

to be stabilised. Wind the stability foot under the door 
hinge down to the floor until it just makes contact with the 
floor. Lift the front of the appliance to take the weight off 
the stability foot, then turn it half a turn further to ensure 
firm contact with the floor. Wind the large height adjusting 
nut back up to ensure all the weight is now on the front 
stability foot.

8.   Repeat step 7 for the stability foot on the handle side. 

Whenever you need to move the appliance, be sure to 
wind the feet back up so that the appliance can roll freely 
and be sure to reset it when reinstalling.

9.     Plug your refrigerator straight into its own power point 

and never use a double adapter. If you need to roll the 
refrigerator to get to the plug, remember to raise the 
stability foot first.

10.   Before you put any food in your refrigerator, it is 

recommended you leave it on for 2 or 3 hours to  
check it is running properly.

Using your refrigerator

Refrigerators work by transferring heat from the food inside to 
the outside air. This operation makes the back and sides of the 
refrigerator feel warm or even hot particularly at start-up and on 
warm days – this is normal. 

Avoid placing food against the air vents in the refrigerator as 
it affects efficient circulation. If the door is opened frequently, 
a light frosting will occasionally occur on the freezer’s interior. 
This is normal and will clear after a few days. If the freezer door 
is accidentally kept open, a heavy frost will coat the inside walls 
and should be removed. 

Your new refrigerator uses a high-speed compressor, along with 
other energy-efficient components, which may make unusual 
sounds and be more noticeable at night and quieter times. 
These sounds simply indicate your refrigerator is working how it 
should. They include:

• 

Compressor running noises;

• 

Air movement noise from the small fan motor;

• 

A gurgling sound, similar to water boiling;

• 

A popping noise, heard during automatic defrosting; and

• 

A clicking noise, prior to compressor start-up.

Further details can be found in the Troubleshooting Guide.

TIPS & INFORMATION

 important

For top mount refrigerators (where the freezer is  

 

on top of the fresh food compartment).

• 

 Don’t place food forward of the ribs on the freezer floor, as 
it will keep the door open.

 

Ribs

For bottom mount refrigerators (where freezer is below the 
fresh food compartment):

• 

 Ensure all freezer drawers and shelves are pushed back 
completely to prevent them from keeping the door open.

Removing features

  

Crisper Bin

Removal (standard Crisper Bins):

1.   Empty food from the crisper. On some models it will be 

necessary to remove the bottle storage bins.

2.   Remove the crisper bin(s) by pulling forward, then up and 

forward again.

3.   For the top mount, remove the crisper shelf by lifting the 

catches on the left and right underside of the shelf and 
pulling the shelf forward.
