INSTALLATION

ENGLISH

• Type B

If the door is too low, lift the right door up and 

insert only one C-Clip with proper thickness.
-  If a C-Clip is already inserted on the middle 

hinge, remove the C-Clip before inserting a 

new C-Clip.

CAUTION

•  The door is heavy. To avoid injury, use two or 

more people to lift and align the fridge door.

•  Small parts are a swallowing hazard for small 

children. Keep C-Clips out of the reach of 

children.

may spoil.

•  To turn off the appliance, disconnect the power 

plug from the socket outlet.
