INSTALLING YOUR NEW APPLIANCE
Clean the refrigerator thoroughly according to instructions
and wipe away any dust that has accumulated
during shipping.
Check that the floor is level. If it is not, adjust the stabilising
foot so that the refrigerator is level and stable.
We recommend that the refrigerator be turned on and left
to run for two to three hours before placing any food inside
it. This will allow you to check that it is operating properly
and there is adequate cool air in the freezer.
Installation clearances
• Allow a minimum of 30mm clearance on both sides of
the refrigerator.
• Allow a minimum of 50mm clearance at the back of
the refrigerator.
• Allow a minimum of 50mm (X) clearance above the
refrigerator.
• If you do not have a cupboard above the fridge with a
rear gap of minimum 100 (Y), recommended
clearance at the top of the refrigerator is 90mm (x).
• When positioned in a corner, the clearance must be
at least 300mm on the hinge side to allow the door to
open smoothly so that bins and shelves can be
removed easily.

CABINET
DOOR
NOTE: Refrigerator doors on all models are designed
to sit proud of cabinetry (not flush). The refrigerator should
be placed against a wall of cabinetry and the clearance
between the rear of the refrigerator and the wall should
not be greater than 75mm.
Initial start up
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.
Your refrigeration uses energy efficient components that
may produce differnet noises compared to older
refrigerators. Please see troubleshooting guide for more
information.
A light frosting will occasionally occur on the cold interior of
the freezer if the door is opened frequently. This is normal
and the frost will disappear after a few days in
most climates.

Operating tips
Avoid placing food against air outlets as this will impede air
circulation.
Make sure that the freezer and fresh food doors are fully
closed after you have loaded or removed food from these
compartments. If the doors are left partly opened, a heavy
frost will coat the inside of the freezer. If this occurs,
remove the frost. Ensure that all doors are properly closed
to prevent frost from reappearing.
Cleaning
Exterior
Clean the refrigerator with only lukewarm soapy water and
a soft cloth. Rinse with clean water and then wipe the
surface with a soft clean cloth to remove any soap residue.
Interior
Clean the refrigerator interior regularly. Turn power off.
Wipe the interior with a soft cloth and lukewarm soapy
water. Thoroughly dry all surfaces and removable parts.
Avoid getting water on the refrigerator controls. If you have
taken out any removable parts, replace them and switch
on the power before re-stocking the refrigerator. Wipe
away thoroughly any food spills.
Keep door seals clean
Ensure that the door seals are always clean. Sticky food
and drinks can cause seals to adhere to the cabinet and
may cause the seals to tear when opening the door.
Wash seals with lukewarm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly
and dry.
CAUTION!
Never use hot water, solvents, commercial kitchen
cleaners, aerosol cleaners, metal polishers, caustic or
abrasive cleaners or scourers to clean the appliance as
they will damage it. Many commercially available cleaning
products and detergents contain solvents that will damage
your refrigerator. When cleaning, use only a soft cloth and
lukewarm soapy water.
