Notes for Moving and 

Transporting

 

Remove all food from inside the appliance. 

Then, transport the appliance only after fixing 

fragile parts such as shelves and the door 

handle with tape. Failure to do so may cause 

appliance damage.

 

Pull the power plug out, insert and fix it into the 

power plug hook at the rear or on top of the 

appliance. Failure to do so may cause damage 

to the power plug or floor scratch.

 

When transporting the appliance, more than two 

people should transport the appliance carefully. 

Dropping the appliance, which is extremely 

heavy, may cause personal injury or appliance 

failure.

 

When transporting the appliance over a long 

distance, keep the appliance upright. The 

appliance may fall over, causing malfunctions. 

Never transport the appliance laying down as it 

can cause a refrigerant circulation malfunction 

when it is turned back on again.

Notes for Installation

 

Install the appliance on a solid and flat area.

 

If the appliance is installed on an uneven 

floor, it can cause vibration and noise 

causing the appliance to fall resulting in 

injury. It could also cause the doors not to 

close correctly and introduce moisture inside 

the unit during operation.

 

If the appliance front or rear is not level, 

adjust the front  feet so that it can be 

corrected. Severe cases may need the floor 

to be packed out with strips of thin timber.

 

Avoid placing the unit near heat sources, direct 

sunlight or moisture.

 

Connect the power supply cord (or plug) to the 

outlet. Don't double up with other appliances on 

the same outlet. 

 

After connecting the power supply cord (or plug) 

to the outlet, Wait two or three hours before 

you put food into the appliance. If you add food 

before the appliance has cooled completely, 

your food may spoil.

 

Models with handles should be located at least 

55 mm from the wall on the hinge side to open 

door by 90°.

 

Allow over 55 mm clearance to the right, left, 

back and top when installing.

Removing the Door

When it is necessary to move the appliance 

through a narrow opening, removing the doors is 

the recommended procedure.

WARNING

 

Disconnect the power cord, house fuse or 

circuit breaker before installing or service the 

appliance. Failure to follow these instructions 

may result in death, fire or electric shock.

If your entrance door is too narrow for the 

appliance to pass through, remove the appliance 

doors and pass the appliance laterally.
