INSTALLING YOUR NEW APPLIANCE

Adequate ventilation around your refrigerator
The diagram below shows the recommended airspace
to allow for ventilation of your refrigerator.
If 5 mm side clearance, the fridge cabinet must sit at least
5 mm proud of kitchen cabinetry for doors to open.
A 5 mm side clearance requires 50 mm rear clearance.
If you do not have a cupboard above the refrigerator with
a rear gap of minimum 100 (Y), recommended clearance
at the top of the refrigerator are as follows: If gap (Y) is not
a minimum 100mm, then gap (Z) increases from 10mm to
45mm.

NOTE: Doors are designed to sit proud of cabinetry
(not flush). The clearances shown above are the
recommended minimum clearances. The clearance at
the rear must not exceed 75mm.
Installing your refrigerator
Your new refrigerator should arrive with the front adjustable
rollers wound down, to tilt the top backwards by about
10mm from upright. This will allow your freezer drawer
to self-close, providing a consistent closed seal.

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 place.
2. The top of the refrigerator should be tilted back by
10mm (see diagram on left).
3. If the refrigerator isn't tilted back, you can adjust the
two front rollers by turning the large, plastic roller nut.
(see diagram below). One complete turn of the nut
increases the height of the refrigerator by 10mm. If
you have difficulty turning the roller nut, have someone
tilt the refrigerator back, so you have better access.
Alternatively, you can access the rollers from the side,
using a flat screwdriver. (See diagram below).
4. Check the alignment of the refrigerator to the
surrounding cupboards to see if it is level. You can
adjust the level with the rollers as detailed in step 3.

ie. even gap
5. After you have tried Step 3 and 4, and still find your
refrigerator rocks from corner to corner, it means your
floor is uneven. Find a piece of plastic or hardboard
etc. and pack it firmly under the rear roller.
6. On certain floor surfaces the refrigerator may roll
forward during operation. Where provided a "Roller
Stop" can be placed under the front rollers. If roller
stop is required, please contact Customer Service
(details on back page) and quote part no. 1448845.
