INStALLAtIoN

Clean the refrigerator thoroughly according to instructions
and wipe away any dust that has accumulated during
shipping.
Check that the floor is level. If it is not, adjust the stabilising
foot so that the refrigerator is level and stable.
We recommend that the refrigerator be turned on and left
to run for two to three hours before placing any food inside
it. This will allow you to check that it is operating properly
and there is adequate cool air in the freezer.
INStALLAtIoN CLEARANCES
• A llow a minimum of 30mm clearance on both sides of
the refrigerator.
• A llow a minimum of 50mm clearance at the back of
the refrigerator.
• A llow a minimum of 10mm clearance above the
hinge cover.
• I f you do not have a cupboard with a rear gap, the
recommended clearance at the back of the refrigerator
is 90mm.
• W hen positioned in a corner, the clearance must be
at least 350mm on the hinge side to allow the door

INItIAL StARt Up

When in operation, the outside of the refrigerator will feel
warm, particularly at start up. This is normal.
Avoid placing food against air outlets as this will impede
air circulation.
A light frosting will occasionally occur on the cold interior
of the freezer if the door is opened frequently. This is
normal and the frost will disappear after a few days in
most climates.
Make sure that the freezer and fresh food doors are fully
closed after you have loaded or removed food from these
compartments. If the doors are left partly opened, a heavy
frost will coat the inside of the freezer. If this occurs, remove
the frost. Ensure that all doors are properly closed to prevent
frost from reappearing.
Your refrigerator uses energy efficient components that
may produce different noises from your old refrigerator.
Occasionally, a gurgling sound of refrigerant flowing or
sound of parts expanding or contracting can be heard.
These noises are quite normal.

CLEANING

Exterior
Clean the refrigerator with only lukewarm soapy water
and a soft cloth. Rinse the clean water and then wipe the
surface with a soft clean cloth to remove any soap residue.
Interior
Clean the refrigerator interior regularly. Turn power off.
Wipe the interior with a soft cloth and lukewarm soapy
water. Thoroughly dry all surfaces and removable parts.
Avoid getting water on the refrigerator controls. If you have
taken out any removable parts, replace them and switch on
the power before re-stocking the refrigerator. Wipe away
thoroughly any food spills.
Keep door seals clean
Ensure that the door seals are always clean. Sticky food
and drinks can cause seals to adhere to the cabinet and
may cause tear when opening the door. Wash seals with
lukewarm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
WARNING
Never use hot water, solvents, commercial kitchen cleaners,
aerosol cleaners, metal polishers, caustic or abrasive
cleaners or scourers to clean the appliance as they will
damage it. Many commercially available cleaning products
and detergents contain solvents that will damage your
refrigerator. When cleaning, use only a soft cloth and
lukewarm soapy water.
