Electric Shock Hazard
Read and follow the SAFETY AND WARNINGS outlined in this User Guide
before operating this appliance, pages 3 – 4.
Failure to do so can result in death, electric shock, fire or injury to persons.
Location
Do not install refrigerator near an oven, radiator or other heat source. If not possible, shield
refrigerator with cabinet material.
Do not install where temperature falls below 13˚C or rises above 43˚C. Malfunction may occur at
these temperatures.
The refrigerator is designed for indoor household application only.
Measuring the opening
When installing your refrigerator, allow 13 mm space at the top and 13 mm space behind
machine compartment cover (located in the rear) for proper air circulation. If the refrigerator is
placed with the door hinges against a wall, you may want to allow additional space so the door
can be opened wider.
Subflooring or floor coverings (ie carpet, tile, wood floors, rugs) may make your opening smaller
than anticipated.
Some clearance may be gained by using the levelling procedure under 'Levelling' , page 8.
Important!
If refrigerator is to be installed into a recess where the top of the refrigerator is completely
covered, use dimensions from floor to top of hinge cap to verify proper clearance.
Transporting your refrigerator
NEVER transport refrigerator on its side. If an upright position is not possible, lay refrigerator
on its back. Allow refrigerator to sit upright for approximately 30 minutes before plugging it in.
This will ensure oil returns to the compressor. Plugging refrigerator in immediately may cause
damage to internal parts.
Use an appliance dolly/trolley when moving refrigerator. ALWAYS truck refrigerator from its side
or back – NEVER from its front.
Protect the outside finish of the refrigerator during transport by wrapping the cabinet in
blankets or inserting padding between the refrigerator and dolly.
Secure refrigerator to dolly firmly with straps or bungee cords. Thread straps through handles
where and when possible. Do not over-tighten. Over- tightening restraints may dent or damage
the outside finish.
