INSTALLING YOUR NEW APPLIANCE

1
Adequate ventilation around your refrigerator
The diagram below shows the recommended airspace to
allow for ventilation of your refrigerator.

If you do not have a cupboard above the refrigerator
with a rear gap of minimum 100 mm (Y), recommended
clearance at the top of the refrigerator are as follows:
All models except WBE5160SC
If gap (Y) is not a minimum 100mm, then gap (X) increases
from 50mm to 90mm min.
3 Please note for model WBE5160SC
If gap (Y) is not a minimum 100mm, then gap (Z) increases
4
from 10mm to 45mm min.
When positioned in a corner area, spacing of at least
350mm on the hinge side will allow the doors to open
enough to enable the removal of bins and shelves.
Note: For those models with telescopic extension slide-out
bins, the clearance required increases from 350mm to
550mm for top mount and bottom mount models, and to
450mm for the all refrigerator model to allow full access to
the bins' contents as well as bin removal.

Installing your refrigerator

Your new refrigerator should arrive with the front adjustable
rollers wound down, to tilt the top backwards by about
20mm from upright. This will allow your refrigerator door to
self-close, providing a consistent closed seal.

rollers
The stability foot should also be wound fully up so it will not
interfere with the operation of the rollers (see diagram in
Step 3).
CAUTION
The rollers are designed for forward or backward movement
only. They are not castors. Moving the refrigerator sideways
may damage your floor and the rollers.
1. Roll the refrigerator into place.
2. The top of the refrigerator should be tilted back by
20mm (see diagram on left). This will allow the doors to
self-close providing a consistent door seal.
3. If the refrigerator isn't tilted back, you can adjust the
two front rollers by turning the large, plastic roller
nut. (see diagram below). One turn of the nut will
tilt the refrigerator back approximately 10mm. If you
have difficulty turning the roller nut, have someone
tilt the refrigerator back, so you have better access.
Alternatively, you can access the rollers from the side,
using a flat screwdriver. (See diagram below).

4. Check the alignment of the refrigerator to the
surrounding cupboards to see if it is level. You can
adjust the level with the rollers as detailed in step 3.

it means your floor is uneven. Find a piece of plastic or
hardboard etc. and pack it firmly under the roller.
6. On certain floor surfaces the refrigerator may roll
forward during operation. Where provided a "Roller
Stop" can be placed under the front rollers. If Roller
Stop is required, contact customer service on
