Installing your new appliance

tips and information
• For built-in models, refer to the separate booklet.
• T o join two E:Line modular fridges together, refer to
the booklet with the connection kit.
Adequate ventilation around your refrigerator.
The diagram below shows the recommended airspace to
allow for ventilation of your refrigerator.
If you don't have a cupboard with a rear gap, the
recommended clearance area on top increases from 50mm
to 90mm (x) and from 32mm to 72mm (y). When positioned
in a corner area, spacing of at least 350mm on the hinge
side will allow the doors to open enough to enable the
removal of bins and shelves.
Note: For those models with telescopic extension slide-
out bins, the clearance required increases from 350mm to
550mm for top mount and bottom mount models, and to
450mm for the all refrigerator model to allow full access to
the bins' contents as well as bin removal.

above are the recommended minimum clearances.
The clearance at the rear must not exceed 75mm.
caution
Automatic aerosol systems (such as insect conrtol) should not
be located adjacent to the product as the spray may cause
long term damage to the external plastics of the appliance.
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 refrigerator door to
self-close, providing a consistent closed seal.

front rollers
The stability foot should also be wound fully up so it will not
interfere with the operation of the rollers (see diagram in
Step 3).

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). This will allow the doors to self-
close providing a consistent door seal.
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 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. If you 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 roller.
6. On certain floor surfaces the refrigerator may roll forward
during operation. A "Roller Stop", which is provided, can
be placed under the front rollers.
