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, 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.
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.
Please make sure that the interior of your
refrigerator is cleaned thoroughly.
If two refrigerators are to be installed side by
side, there should be at least 20 mm
distance between them.
When operating your refrigerator for the
first time, please observe the following
instructions during the initial six hours:

Adjusting the feet
If your refrigerator is unbalanced
The refrigerator may move if the adjustable
legs are not properly levelled on the floor.
Warning
First unplug the refrigerator. The refrigerator
must be unplugged when adjusting the legs,
as there is a risk of electric shock.
1. The ventilation cover must first be
removed as illustrated in the figure before
starting the procedure.
2. Remove the screws of the lower
ventilation cover using a Philips screwdriver.
Levelling the adjustable legs on the floor:
You can level your refrigerator by turning the
front legs as shown in the illustration.
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.
3. After the level has been set, reinstall the
ventilation cover and tighten the screws.
