Unpacking
ENVIRONMENT
Most of the packing materials are
recyclable. Please dispose of those
materials through your local recycling
depot or by placing them in appropriate
collection containers.
Important – check for any damages or marks.
If you find the refrigerator is damaged or
marked, you must report it within 7 days should
you wish to claim for damage/ marks under the
manufacturers warranty. This does not affect
your statutory rights.
Clean the refrigerator thoroughly according to
instruction, and wipe away any dust that has
accumulated during shipping.
Check that the floor is level. If it is not then
adjust the provided leveling leg so product is
level and stable.
We recommend that you let your refrigertor
run for two to three hours before you put any
food in it. This will allow you to check that it is
operating properly and that enough cool air is
going to the freezer.
Clearance around your refrigerator;
• Allow a minimum of 30mm clearance on
both sides of the refrigerator.
• Allow 50mm clearance at the back of the
refrigerator.
• Allow a minimum of 10mm clearance above
the hinge cover.
• If you do not have a cupboard with
allowance for air flow above the refrigerator,
the recommended clearance area on top
increases to 90 mm.
• When positioned in a corner area, spacing
of at 350mm on the hinge side will allow the
doors to open enough to enable the removal
of bins and shelves.

You refrigerator uses energy efficient
components that may produce different noises
(Refer "Noises" page for examples) to your old
refrigerator. Occasionally a gurgling sound
of refrigerator flowing or the sound of parts
expanding and contracting can be heard.
These noises are quite normal.
Installing your refrigerator

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.
Before moving your refrigerator ensure
