Getting Started
Installation
•
Unpack:
Keep all packaging materials until you have made sure your new
refrigerator is undamaged and in good working order. Plastic wrapping
can be a suffocation hazard for babies and young children, so ensure all
packaging materials are out of their reach. Remove any adhesive tape off the
drawers, shelves, egg tray and the drain tube plug.
• Remove the poly foam panel from the bottom of the carton before installation.
•
Two person installation:
Use two or more people to move and install the
appliance. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury. See page 15
for advice how to use the in-built rollers at the back of the appliance.
•
Safety first:
Make sure you read all safety advice on pages 3–5 before
installation.
•
Door swing:
Your appliance has the capability of the door opening from the
right or left side. If your setup requires reversal of the door swing, see pages
16-18 for instructions.
•
Location:
Place the refrigerator in a well ventilated, dry area:
• Away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator).
• Away from water splashes and areas of high humidity.
• Away from extreme cold ambient temperatures.
•
Floor:
The floor must be sturdy, level and strong enough to support it when
it is fully loaded. Unsuitable flooring may cause noise and vibration. Do not
place it on soft material such as foam or plastic.

If you have to position the
refrigerator on carpet, use a plastic
carpet protector underneath the
appliance.
•
Clearances:
Leave a 30cm
clearance above the appliance, and
5–10cm between the back and the
wall and at the sides, to allow for
proper air circulation to cool the
compressor and condenser, and to
ensure the appliance is not touching
a surrounding surface. (Fig. 1)
•
Cleaning:
To remove any dust from
transit and storage, clean the inside
of the refrigerator with a damp cloth.
Dry thoroughly.
