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.
Clean the inside of the appliance with warm water and a little liquid detergent 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 odor 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 1 pint (500 ml) of water). Rinse with clean water.
Holiday time
We recommend you leave your refrigerator or freezer operating while you are on holiday.
