Placing and Installation
If the entrance door of the room where the
refrigerator is to be installed is not wide
enough for the refrigerator to fit through,
then call an authorized service centre and
have them remove the doors of your
refrigerator in order that the refrigerator can
fit sideways through the door.
1. Install your refrigerator in a place that
allows for ease of use.
2. Keep your refrigerator away from heat
sources such as stoves, geysers humid
places and direct sunlight.
3. There must be appropriate air ventilation
around your refrigerator in order to achieve
efficient operation.
The refrigerator is to have at least a 50
mm space from the ceiling and at least a
50 mm space from the wall.
If the floor is covered with a carpet, your
refrigerator must be elevated 25 mm from
the floor.
4. Place your refrigerator on an even floor
surface to prevent jolts.
5. Do not keep your refrigerator in ambient
temperatures under 10°C.
Please make sure that the interior of your
refrigerator is cleaned thoroughly.
When operating your refrigerator for the
first time, please observe the following
instructions during the initial six hours:
• The door should not be opened frequently.
• The refrigerator must be operated empty
without any food in it.
• Do not unplug your refrigerator. If a power
failure occurs out of your control, please
see the warnings in the “Recommended
solutions for the problems” section.
• Original packaging and foam materials
should be kept for any future
transportation or moving.
Adjusting the feet
If your refrigerator is unbalanced
The refrigerator may move if the adjustable
legs are not properly levelled on the floor.
Levelling the adjustable legs on the floor:
It is essential to level the refrigerator by
turning the two adjustable levelling feet at
the front, either in or out. (See figure below)
The corner where the legs are is lowered
when the leg is turned in the direction of the
black arrow and raised when turned in the
opposite direction.
Having someone to carefully assist in tilting
the refrigerator slightly will help facilitate this
process.
It is advisable to adjust the cabinet so that it
tilts slightly backwards. This will assist the
doors to close by themselves. It will also
ensure proper drainage of defrost water from
the rear wall.
Your refrigerator should be
installed at least 300 mm away
from heat sources such as hobs,
ovens, central heaters and stoves
and at least 50 mm away from
electrical ovens and should not
be located under direct sunlight.
If two refrigerators are to be
installed side by side, there
should be at least 20 mm
distance between them.
