Unpacking
ENVIRONMENT
Most of the packing materials are recyclable.
Please dispose of those materials through your
local recycling depot or by placing them in
appropriate collection containers.
Important – check for any damages or marks. If you
find the refrigerator is damaged or marked, you
must report it within 7 days should you wish to claim
for damage/ marks under the manufacturers
warranty. This does not affect your statutory rights.
Clean your refrigerator thoroughly following the
instructions in the "Cleaning" section and wipe off
any dust that has accumulated during shipping.
Locating the refrigerator
CAUTION
Automatic aerosol systems (such as insect
control) should not be located adjacent to the
product as the spray may cause long term
damage to the external plastics of the
appliance.
Do not put the refrigerator in a location that
is too cold or is unprotected, for example in a
garage or on a veranda. The ambient
temperature should be above 10°C.
Put the refrigerator in a dry place avoiding areas of
high moisture or humidity.
Ensure the refrigerator is located on an even
surface.

air space
CABINET DOOR
If you have a cupboard above the refrigerator with
a rear gap of less than 100 mm (Y), recommended
clearance at the top of the refrigerator increases
from 50mm to 90mm (X) minimum.
When positioned in a corner area, spacing of at
least 350mm (300mm for multi-door models) on the
hinge side will allow the doors to open enough to
enable the removal of bins and shelves.
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.
