Installation instructions

Before placing food in the fresh food or freezer compartments

■■Remove all internal packaging. Ensure that all transit clips are removed from the refrigerator. These are small rubber stoppers located at the back of the shelves.

■■Clean the inside of the appliance with a mix of warm water and a small amount of liquid detergent, and a soft cloth to remove manufacturing and transportation dust.

■■Allow the refrigerator and freezer to run empty for 2 – 3 hours to allow each compartment to cool to the appropriate temperature.

■■The appliance may have an odour on its initial operation, but this will go when the refrigerator and freezer have cooled sufficiently.

Energy efficiency

For the most energy efficient use of your appliance:

■■Ensure your refrigerator has adequate ventilation as recommended in the installation instructions.

■■Do not cover your appliance with any material that will prevent air from flowing around the cabinet sides.

■■Allow good clearances in front of air ducts within the cabinet for maximum cold air distribution.

■■Cool hot foods down before placing them in the appliance.

■■Do not overfill the compartments.

■■Keep door openings to a minimum.

■■Select a temperature setting that isn’t too cold.

■■Check your door seals for leaks.
