I f you find your refrigerator rocks from corner to
corner, it means your floor is uneven. Find a piece
of
plastic or hardboard etc. and pack it firmly under the
roller.

You may now need to fine-tune the installation by
repeating steps 3, 4 and 5.
7.
When you have the appliance in its final position, it
needs to be stabilised. Wind the stability foot under the
door hinge down to the floor until it just makes contact
with the floor. Lift the front of the appliance to take the
weZight off the stability foot, then turn it half a turn
further to ensure firm contact with the floor. Wind the
large height adjusting nut back up to ensure all the
weight is now on the front stability foot.

Repeat step 7 for the stability foot on the handle side.
Whenever you need to move the appliance, be sure to
wind the feet back up so that the appliance can roll
freely and be sure to reset it when reinstalling.
Fitting the handles
The handles are supplied prepackaged inside your
refrigerator and will require fitting.
Refer to the instructions provided in the pack.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed your new
refrigerator.
USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
Refrigerators work by transferring heat from the food inside
to the outside air. This operation makes the back and sides
of the refrigerator feel warm or even hot particularly at
start-up and on warm days – this is normal.
Avoid placing food against the air vents in the refrigerator
as it affects efficient circulation. If the door is opened
frequently, a light frosting will occasionally occur on the
freezer’s interior. This is normal and will clear after a few
days. If the freezer door is accidentally kept open, a heavy
frost will coat the inside walls and should be removed.
Your new refrigerator uses a high-speed compressor, along
with other energy-efficient components, which may make
unusual sounds and be more noticeable at night and
quieter times. These sounds simply indicate your refrigerator
is working how it should. They include:
•
Compressor running noises;
•
Air movement noise from the small fan motor;
•
A gurgling sound, similar to water boiling;
•
A popping noise, heard during automatic defrosting;
and
•
A clicking noise, prior to compressor start-up.
Further
details can be found in the Troubleshooting Guide.
TIPS & INFORMATION
IMPORTANT
For top mount refrigerators (where the freezer is on top of
the fresh food compartment).
•
Don’t place food forward of the ribs on the freezer
floor, as it will keep the door open.
Ribs
For bottom mount refrigerators (where freezer is below the
fresh food compartment):
•
Ensure all freezer drawers and shelves are pushed
back completely to prevent them from keeping the
door open.

Plug your refrigerator straight into its own power point
and never use a double adapter. If you need to roll the
refrigerator to get to the plug, remember to raise the
stability foot first.
10. Before you put any food in your refrigerator, it’s
recommended you leave it on for 2 or 3 hours to check
it is running properly.
