CAUTION!
The fridge is heavy—transport it with care! To avoid back or other injury,
we recommend you ask someone for help or use a mechanical aid when moving it.

Getting it ready for use
Before you start installing your new top mount refrigerator, wipe the interior surfaces
and accessories with a well wrung out cloth moistened with lukewarm water with a
little baking soda added. This will remove any dust from transit and storage and help
remove the typical smell of a brand new product. Dry thoroughly.

Need the doors reversed?
Your new top mount refrigerator has the capability of the doors opening from the
right or left side. If your set-up requires reversal of the door swing, please follow the
instructions on pages 19–21 of the supplied manual.

Where to install
The fridge is designed for freestanding use. The floor must be strong, sturdy and
level—adjust the levelling feet, if necessary. Avoid areas where the fridge would be
exposed to direct sunlight, heat, extreme cold ambient temperatures or excessive
moisture and high humidity. Installing it in the coolest area of the room will save energy
consumption and running costs. Allow at least 10 cm clear space at the back and 5 cm
at the sides so air can circulate freely around the fridge.
For comprehensive installation instructions, please consult the manual.
