Installation
Location
When selecting a position for your Refrigerator, you should make sure the floor is flat and
firm, and the room is well ventilated with an average room temperature of between 16°C
and 32°C. Avoid locating your Refrigerator near a heat source, e.g. cooker, boiler or
radiator. Also avoid direct sunlight in lean-to’s or sun lounges. If you are placing your
Refrigerator in an out-building such as a garage or annex ensure that the Refrigerator is
placed above the damp course, otherwise condensation will occur on the Refrigerator
cabinet. Never place the Refrigerator in a wall recess or into fitted cabinets or furniture.
When your Refrigerator is working, the grille at the back may become hot and the sides
warm. It must therefore be installed so that there is 10cm of free space at the sides. There
is a built in air flow grille at the back of the Refrigerator top cover to ensure the correct
distance from the rear wall. The Refrigerator door can either open to the right or the left,
depending on the location which suits you. Do not drape the Refrigerator with any
covering.
Leveling the Refrigerator
Once the Refrigerator is put in its final location, make sure it is level. To do this use the two
leveling feet at the front of the Refrigerator. If the Refrigerator is not level, the doors and
magnetic seal alignments will be affected.
Cleaning before use
Wipe the inside of the Refrigerator with a weak solution of bicarbonate soda. Then rinse
with warm water using a ‘wrung-out’ sponge or cloth. Wipe completely dry before replacing
the shelves and baskets. You could clean the Refrigerator externally with wax polish.
Before plugging in YOU MUST
Check that you have a socket which is compatible with the plug supplied with the
Refrigerator. If not, see the section called ELECTRICAL CONNECTION.
Before switching on
DO NOT SWITCH ON UNTILTWO HOURS AFTER MOVING THE REFRIGERATOR
The refrigerant fluid needs time to settle.
Before using your Refrigerator
Before placing any food in your Refrigerator, turn the Refrigerator on and wait for 24 hours,
to make sure it is working properly and to allow the Refrigerator to fall to the correct
temperature.
