Installation instructions

Before placing food in the fresh food or freezer compartments

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

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

Clean the inside of the appliance with warm water and a little liquid detergent to remove manufacturing and transportation dust.

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

Energy efficiency

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

Do not leave the door open for any longer than is necessary.

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

Moving or storing your refrigerator

If your refrigerator or freezer is turned off for any reason, wait 10 minutes before turning it back on. This will allow the refrigeration system pressures to equalise before restarting.

Moving your refrigerator

Turn off the appliance and unplug from the power point. Remove all food. Turn the adjustable feet to the right as far as they will turn (refer to page 12).

Ease the refrigerator out of its position. Tuck the power cord away and tape the doors closed. Tape the shelves in place. If the cabinet needs to be placed at an angle or laid down, carefully lay it on its side (the right hand side when viewed from the front).

Relocate and install. If the appliance has been left on its side for any length of time, leave it standing upright for at least 10 minutes before turning on.

Storing your refrigerator or freezer

When storing your cleaned appliance, leave the door(s) open. This allows air to circulate and prevents the build up of bacteria and moulds.

Before using again, clean well using a mixture of warm water and baking soda (add 1 teaspoon of baking soda to each 500 ml of water). Rinse with clean water.

Holiday time

We recommend you leave your refrigerator or freezer operating while you are on holiday.
