Installation - Four Essential Requirements

Please follow the steps for installation to ensure your appliance operates correctly.

1. Power

The appliance must be installed so the plug is accessible.

To ensure that the appliance is not accidentally switched off, connect your refrigerator or freezer to its own power point. Do not plug in any other appliance at this power point or use extension cords and double adaptors, as the combined weight of both power cords can pull the double adaptor from a wall outlet socket.

For power requirements, refer to the information on the serial plate located at the front bottom right-hand side of the refrigerator when the door is open.

It is essential that the appliance be properly grounded (earthed).

2. Location

Your refrigerator or freezer should not be located in direct sunlight or next to any heat generating appliance such as a cooktop, oven or dishwasher.

3. Stability

It is important that all four corners of the refrigerator or freezer base are supported firmly on the floor to eliminate any cabinet movement.

Installing the appliance on a soft or uneven or unlevel floor may result in twisting of the cabinet and poor sealing of the doors. If the doors do not seal properly, warm air will enter

the food storage areas causing the temperature to increase, resulting in food spoilage and food loss.

Before moving your refrigerator or freezer into its position, ensure that the adjustable front feet are fully retracted by turning them anticlockwise, i.e. towards the right of the cabinet.

Position your refrigerator or freezer. Turn the adjustable feet clockwise, i.e. to the left, to lower the adjustable front feet. Raise the front of the appliance until it is stable and the doors move towards the closed position, on their own, when open.

The front levelling foot on the hinge side should take the majority of the weight of the cabinet and the cabinet should be stable, i.e. cabinet should not rock or wobble.

Raise Lower
