INSTALLATION

INITIAL START Up

INITIAL START Up
1. Please remove all internal packaging before use. Any
glue or tape residue or the like should be removed with
a solution of mild detergent and water.
2. Clean your appliance thoroughly following the
instructions on this page and wipe off any dust that has
accumulated during shipping.
3. Install accessories such as the ice cube storage bin.
The accessories are packed together to prevent
damage during delivery.
4. Plug your appliance into the power point. If you need
to roll the appliance out to get to the power point,
remember to raise the stabilising foot (where fitted)
before you do so.
5. 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 circulating.
REFRIGERATOR/FREEZER OpERATION
It is normal for the rear, sides and centre mullion of the
appliance to feel warm. These areas are warm because
the appliance transfers heat from the food placed inside to
the outside air.
There is a cooling coil located behind the rear wall of
the freezer section. This coil cools and removes moisture
from the air. A fan at the rear of the freezer section
then circulates cold, dry air throughout the refrigerator.
The air circulation means that foods are refrigerated far
more quickly than in refrigerators where there is less air
circulation.
Avoid placing food against air outlets as this will affect air
circulation. See product diagrams for location of air outlets.
A light frosting will occasionally occur on the interior of the
freezer when the door is opened frequently. This is normal
and will disappear after a few days in most climates.
Make sure you fully close the freezer door after you load
or remove food. If the door is left partly open, a heavy
frost will coat the inside of the freezer. If a frost develops,
remove it. Take care to properly close the door and the
frost will not reoccur.
Your new energy efficient appliance uses a high-speed
compressor and other energy efficient components which
may produce different noises to your old appliance.
These sounds are normal and include:
• compressor running noise.
• air movement noise from the small fan motor.
• occasional gurgling, similar to water boiling.
• a popping noise, heard during automatic defrosting.
• a clicking noise, just prior to the compressor starting up.
These noises are normal and not cause for alarm.
Before cleaning: Remove the power cord from the power
socket. This will make sure there is no chance of getting an
electric shock.

cLEANING THE ExTERIOR
An occasional wipe over with a clean, damp cloth will help
remove finger marks. You should only clean the doors with
lukewarm, soapy water and a soft cloth. Rinse with clean
water and then wipe the surface with a soft, clean cloth to
remove any soapy residue.
WARNING
Do not use abrasive pads or other cleaners as they are
likely to scratch the surface. Damage to this product after
installation is not covered by your warranty.
Never use hot water, solvents, commercial kitchen cleaners,
aerosol cleaners, metal polishes, caustic or abrasive
cleaners, or scourers to clean this 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 with an
unscented mild soap and lukewarm water.
cleaning the interior
You should clean the refrigerator interior regularly. It will
be easiest to clean when the food supply is low. Wash
the interior with a soft cloth and use an unscented mild
soap with lukewarm water. Thoroughly dry all surfaces
and removable parts. Avoid getting water on refrigerator
controls. If you have taken out any removable parts,
replace them and switch the power on before restocking
the refrigerator with food. You should keep the interior
of your refrigerator hygienic by promptly and thoroughly
wiping up any food spills.
cleaning the drip tray (ice and water models)
Water may accumulate in the sump located under the drip
tray. If this occurs the sump can be sponged out to prevent
water overflowing down the front of the door.
For cleaning the tray remove as described below:
1. Press down at the back of the drip tray with the tips of
your fingers.
2. Pull the tray forward.
3. To refit, slide the drip tray back into position and push
into place.
