INSTALLATION
Warning
IF YOU ARE DISCARDING AN OLD APPLIANCE THAT HAS A LOCK OR CATCH ON THE DOOR, YOU MUST ENSURE THAT IT IS MADE UNUSABLE TO PREVENT YOUNG CHILDREN BEING TRAPPED INSIDE.
Positioning
This appliance should only be installed at a location where the ambient temperature corresponds to the climate classification indicated on the rating plate, which is located at the left on the inside of the appliance.
Depending upon the position which you choose for your appliance, you may wish to reverse the way in which the door opens. To do this, refer to instructions on “Door reversal directions” paragraph.
Important
It must be possible to disconnect the appliance from
the mains power supply; the plug must therefore be easily accessible after installation.
Normal Operating Sounds
The advanced design of today’s frost free appliances mean you hear unfamilar noises during everyday operation. The diagram below describes some of the noises you may hear. These are quite normal and mean your appliance is operating correctly
The thermostat control will click when starting or stopping the compressor.
The following table shows which ambient temperature is correct for each climate classification:
SN +10°C to + 32°C
N+16°C to + 32°C
ST +18°C to + 38°C
T+18°C to + 43°C
It should be located in a dry atmosphere, out of direct sunlight and away from extreme temperature e.g. not next to a boiler or radiator, or in a very cold room e.g. an outhouse, where the temperatures may fall below 10°C (50°F). If these temperatures are exceeded i.e. colder or warmer, then the appliance may not operate correctly.
You should also ensure that air can circulate freely around the back and the top of the cabinet. There must also be at least 100 mm (4”) distance between the top of the cabinet and any overhanging kitchen furniture (A). Ideally, the appliance should not be positioned beneath overhanging furniture (B).

Defrost water drips into the drain pan during the defrost cycle.
The fan circulates cold air to cool the refrigerator and the freezer compartment and sounds like air blowing or a whirring sound.
The flow of refrigerant through the freezer cooling coil makes a gurgling noise.
Water dropping on the defrost heater causes a hissing or popping sound during the defrost cycle.

There should also be a gap of 25 mm either side of the appliance. Do not obstruct the space underneath.
Rear spacers
The plastic bag containing all relevant documentation also contains two spacers to be fitted into special holes in the back of the appliance.
Fit the spacers into the holes, taking care to ensure that the arrow (A) is positioned as shown in the diagram. Then turn them through 45° (arrow (A) vertical) until they lock into place.
DO NOT install in places with restricted ventilation.
Adjust the level of the appliance by screwing out the adjustable foot, or feet, at the bottom of the cabinet using your fingers or a tool (see figure).
