Clearance around your Top and Bottom Mount
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 a rear gap, the
recommended clearance area on top increases from
3 50mm to 90mm.
• When positioned in a corner area, spacing of at
least 350mm on the hinge side will allow the doors
to open enough to enable the removal of bins and
shelves.
Note: Doors on all models are designed to sit proud of
cabinetry (not flush). The refrigerator should be placed against
a wall and the gap between the rear of the refrigerator and the
wall should be no greater than 75mm.
Your refrigerator uses energy efficient components
that may produce different noises to your old
refrigerator. Occasionally a gurgling sound of
refrigerant flowing or the sound of parts expanding
and contracting can be heard. These noises are quite
normal.
