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 If the refrigerator is not tilted back you can adjust the
two front rollers by adjusting the large plastic roller
nut (refer page 11) 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 5mm

plumb or vertical If the cabinet is built in or partly built
