DEFROSTING
Defrosting needs to be carried out when the ice layer reaches a thickness of 5mm - 10mm.
1.
Turn the fridge power off and move your food and beverages to another cool place. Do not use any
objects to remove the ice or frost, it must be allowed to melt naturally. Once the ice has melted, dry the
inside of the fridge and freezer compartment thoroughly.
2.
Set the thermostat to a lower number (start on 3). Monitor & adjust after 48 hours
MOVING THE DOOR HINGES FROM ONE SIDE TO THE OTHER
Please follow these instructions carefully. It is imperative that the doors are aligned correctly when the hinges
are moved from one side to the other. Incorrectly aligned the doors will cause significant ice build-up and
failure of the door latch while underway.
In our experience this is a 2-person job.
If you are unsure at any stage, please call Bushman head office on (03) 8080 9990 for assistance.
REVERSING THE FRONT DOOR HINGES
The door hinges from the right side. To change the hinge side, simple unscrew the door hinges from the
fridge cabinet, move to the other side and re-affix using the same screws. Detailed instructions as follows:
1.
Carefully remove the top, middle and bottom hinges and both doors. Ensure any washers on each hinge
are kept in place.
2.
Affix bottom hinge to the preferred side of fridge cabinet. Only tighten screws finger tight.
3.
Move the bottom hinge pin to the other side of the hinge.
4.
Locate main door onto the bottom hinge.
5.
Affix middle hinge to fridge cabinet. Only tighten screws finger tight.
6.
Locate freezer door onto the middle hinge.
7.
Affix top hinge to fridge cabinet. Only tighten screws finger tight.
8.
Align the freezer door until it is square with the fridge cabinet, by twisting the door into position and
manipulatin the postion of the top and middle hinges.
9.
Tighten top hinge screws fully.
10.
Align the main door until it is square with the fridge cabinet, also by twisting the door into position and
manipulatin the postion of the bottom and middle hinges.
11.
Tighten bottom hinge screws fully.
12.
Tighten the middle hinge screws fully.
13.
Double check that both doors open and close freely without rubbing on anything.
14.
With the doors closed, carefully apply moderate heat with a heat gun or hair dryer to the rubber seals
one section at a time. Once warm and softened, the rubber will pull in towards the fridge cabinet and
create a flush seal.
15.

RESETTING THE RUBBER DOOR SEALS
When the doors are closed, visually inspect the rubber seals to make sure they are making a smooth line of
contact all the way around each door. Even a small bump or gap will let air get inside the fridge and ice will
build up quickly. This issue is most prominent when the door has been removed at some stage (often during
installation, or when the hinges have been swapped to the LHS).
•
To rectify this issue, warm the rubber seals up gently with a heat gun (with the door closed)
•
Do this one door at a time and be sure to do the top, bottom and both sides.
•
As the rubber warms and softens, you will be able to see it move and suck towards the metal fridge
cabinet (as there are magnets throughout the rubber seal). The seal is capable of closing even a 15mm
gap.
•
Let the seal cool in this position with the door closed for about 10 minutes and repeat for each door.
