MOVING AND STORING YOUR APPLIANCE

TO ENSURE YOUR APPLIANCE OPERATES CORRECTLY PLEASE REFER TO THE
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS BOOKLET SUPPLIED WITH THIS PRODUCT.
If your refrigerator is turned off for any reason, wait 10 minutes before turning it back
on. This will allow the refrigeration system pressures to equalize before restarting.
Moving your appliance
Turn off the appliance at the isolating switch and unplug from the power point. Remove
● ●
all food.
Refer to the installation instructions to free the refrigerator from its surrounds. Gently
● ●
ease the appliance out of its position, switch isolating faucet off and disconnect water
fittings; and tuck the power cord away.
If applicable, tape the shelves in place and tape the doors closed. If the cabinet needs to
● ●
be placed on an angle or laid down, carefully lay it on its side (the right-hand side when
viewed from the front).
Relocate and install. If the appliance has been left on its side for any length of time,
● ●
leave it standing upright as long as possible (at least a few hours) before turning it on.
If the product has been transported upright then it can be switched on after 10 minutes.
● ●
Storing your appliance
When storing your cleaned appliance, leave the door(s) open. This allows air to circulate
● ●
and prevents the build up of bacteria and molds.
Before using again, clean well using a mixture of warm water and baking soda (add 1 tsp
● ●
of baking soda to each 16.9 oz (500 ml) of water). Rinse with clean water.
