Installing your new refrigerator

Clearance around your refrigerator
Your Side by Side Refrigerator can be installed between
cupboards or fixtures but you must allow for the following
spaces around the cabinet.
1. Allow a minimum of 10mm clearance on both sides.
2. Allow 30mm clearance at the back of the refrigerator.
3. Allow 10mm clearance above the hinge covers.
DOORS
4. Allow a 349 or 427mm clearance on the hinge side of the
doors, if you place the refrigerator next to the wall. This
will make cleaning easier.
5. Make sure that cupboards or fixtures do not stick out
further than the refrigerator cabinet.
Note: Refrigerator doors on all models are designed to sit
proud of cabinetry (not flush).

Installing your refrigerator
The appliance should arrive with the stability foot wound fully
up so it will not interfere with the operation of the rollers (see
diagram in Step 3 below).
caution
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.
1. Roll the refrigerator into its final position.
2. The top of the refrigerator should be tilted back by
approximately 20mm. This will allow the doors to
self-close providing a consistent door seal and stability
when the doors are open.
3. When you have the appliance in its final position,
it needs to be stabilized. Wind the stability foot down
to the floor until it just makes contact with the floor.
Whenever you need to move the appliance, be sure
to wind the foot back up so that the appliance can roll
freely and be sure to reset it when reinstalling.
( The wrench opening size 30mm )
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 below). If you need to
adjust the level, use the adjustable rollers as discussed in
Step 3.
