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 fl oor and
the rollers.
1. Roll the refrigerator into its fi nal 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 fi nal position,
it needs to be stabilized Wind the stability foot down
to the fl oor until it just makes contact with the fl oor.
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.

4. Check the alignment of the refrigerator to the surrounding
cupboards. The top of the refrigerator should be on the
same level from side to side (see diagram below).
I f you need to adjust the level, use the adjustable rollers
