Installation; Installing New Refrigerator; Installing Your New Refrigerator - Electrolux END 5298 Care And Use Instructions Manual

Installing your new refrigerator.

The refrigerator should
arrive with the front
adjustable rollers wound
down to tilt the top of the
refrigerator backwards
by about 10-15mm from
upright (See Diagram 1).
The stability foot should
also be wound fully up so
it will not interfere with the
operation of the rollers
(See Diagram 2).
1. Roll the refrigerator into its 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. The top of the refrigerator should be tilted back by
approximately 10-15mm. This will allow the doors to self-
close providing a consistent door seal. (See Diagram 1)
It is normal for the freezer door to momentarily open and
re-close when the food compartment door is closed firmly.
If the freezer stays open you will need to tilt the refrigerator
backwards a little further.

3. If the refrigerator is not tilted back, you can adjust the
two front rollers by turning the large, plastic roller nut (See
Diagram 2). This will increase the height of the rollers. One
turn of the nut will tilt the refrigerator back approximately
10mm. If you have difficulty turning the roller nut you can
have someone tilt the refrigerator back, so that you have
better access. Alternatively, you can access the rollers from
the side, using a flat screwdriver to help you turn the nut
(see Diagram 2).

4. Check the alignment of the refrigerator to the
surrounding cupboards. The top of the refrigerator should
be level from side to side (see Diagram 3). If you need to
adjust the level, use the adjustable rollers as discussed in
Step 3.
5. If the refrigerator now rocks from one corner to the
opposite rear corner, this means that the floor is uneven;
you will need to put some packing under one of the rear
rollers.You could use thin pieces of solid material, such as
thin board, vinyl floor tiles or laminate. Place the packing
so that it will sit under one of the rear rollers when the
refrigerator is rolled into position.

6.You may now need to fine-tune the installation by
repeating Steps 3, 4 and 5.
7. When you have the refrigerator in final position wind the
stabilising foot down until it just makes contact with the
floor (see Diagram 4). Whenever you need to move the
refrigerator, be sure to wind the foot back up so that the
refrigerator can roll freely.
8. Clean your refrigerator thoroughly following the
instructions on page 15 and wipe off any dust that has
accumulated during shipping.
9. Plug the refrigerator into the power point. Don't use a
double adaptor. If you need to roll the refrigerator out to get
at the power point, remember to raise the stabilizing foot
before you do so.
10.We recommend that you let your refrigerator 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.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed your
refrigerator.
