Location & Air Circulation
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 18˚C and 38˚C.
Locate your fridge away from sources of heat e.g. cookers, radiators, direct sunlight as extreme
temperatures will effect how efficiently your fridge works.
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. Failure to do this will result in condensation forming on the refrigerator
cabinet and could cause the refrigerator to rust and fail.
Never place the refrigerator in a wall recess or fitted cabinets or furniture as this will not allow adequate
ventilation and cause a potential fire hazard. Allow 10mm of space at the sides of the refrigerator and 20-
30mm above the refrigerator. Never push the fridge back against the wall, leave at least a 10mm gap.
Providing you follow the recommended ventilation requirements you will:
•
Increase the life of the fridge.
•
Minimise the risk of condensation on the outside of the fridge.
•
Minimise the running costs.
•
Minimise operating noises caused by vibration.
Levelling
Once the refrigerator is positioned in its final location, it can be leveled using the adjustable feet at the front
of the refrigerator until they are firmly placed on the floor. Correctly leveling the refrigerator will stop any
rocking or vibration and keep the door aligned which helps the fridge run reliably and efficiently.
