The refrigerator should arrive with the front rollers wound
down. We recommend that the appliance be tilted
backwards by about 10 to 15 millimetres, this will allow
the doors to self close providing a consistent door seal.
To do this follow the instructions below.
Height adjustable
front rollers
When you want to install your appliance, take the
following steps.
1. Roll the refrigerator into it's final position.
WARNING
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.
2. I f the refrigerator is not tilted back you can adjust the
two front rollers by adjusting the large plastic roller
nut (refer page 7). You may need two people, one to
adjust rollers and one to tilt the refrigerator slightly back
to take the weight of the appliance off the front rollers.
This will increase or decrease the height of the rollers.
One turn of the nut will change the tilt of the refrigerator
by approximately 10mm.
3. If the cabinet is level, then the side walls should be plumb
or vertical. If the cabinet is built in or partly built in check
the alignment of the cabinet side against the cupboard.
