INSTALLING YOUR NEW REFRIGERATOR

Unpacking

ENVIRONMENT

Most of the packing materials are recyclable. Please dispose of those materials through your local recycling depot or by placing them in appropriate collection containers.
Important – check for any damages or marks. If you find the refrigerator is damaged or marked, you must report it within 7 days should you wish to claim for damage/ marks under the manufacturers warranty. This does not affect your statutory rights. Clean your refrigerator thoroughly following the instructions in the “Cleaning” section and wipe off any dust that has accumulated during shipping.
Locating the refrigerator

CAUTION
Automatic aerosol systems (such as insect control) should not be located adjacent to the product as the spray may cause long term damage to the external plastics of the appliance.
Do not put the refrigerator in a location that is too cold or is unprotected, for example in a garage or on a veranda. The ambient temperature should be above 10°C. Put the refrigerator in a dry place avoiding areas of high moisture or humidity. Ensure the refrigerator is located on an even surface. Adequate ventilation around your refrigerator The diagram below shows the recommended airspace to allow for ventilation of your refrigerator.

If you have a cupboard above the refrigerator with a rear gap of less than 100 mm (Y), recommended clearance at the top of the refrigerator increases from 50mm to 90mm (X) minimum. When positioned in a corner area, spacing of at least 350mm (300mm for multi-door models) on the hinge side will allow the doors to open enough to enable the removal of bins and shelves.
NOTE: Doors are designed to sit proud of cabinetry (not flush). The clearances shown above are the recommended minimum clearances. The clearance at the rear must not exceed 75mm.

• INSTALLATION

Installing your refrigerator

1. Roll the refrigerator into place. The rollers are designed for forward or backward movement only. They are not castors. Moving the refrigerator sideways may damage your floor and the rollers. Before moving your refrigerator ensure height adjusting nut and the stability foot are fully wound up off the floor.

2. Wind the large height adjusting nut under door hinge down until the refrigerator is tilted back by 10mm (see diagram).

3. Wind the large height adjusting nut on the handle side down until the refrigerator is level and stable. If you have difficulty winding the nut or height adjusting foot down, have someone tilt the refrigerator back so you have better access.
   

4. Check the alignment of the refrigerator to the surrounding cupboards to see if it is level. You can adjust the level as detailed in step 2 and 3.

INSTALLING YOUR NEW REFRIGERATOR

5. I f you find your refrigerator rocks from corner to corner, it means your floor is uneven. Find a piece of plastic or hardboard etc. and pack it firmly under the roller.
6. You may now need to fine-tune the installation by repeating steps 3, 4 and 5.
7. When you have the appliance in its final position, it needs to be stabilized. Wind the stability foot under the door hinge down to the floor until it just makes contact with the floor. Lift the front of the appliance to take the weight off the stability foot, then turn it half a turn further to ensure firm contact with the floor. Wind the large height adjusting nut back up to ensure all the weight is now on the front stability foot.
8. Repeat step 7 for the stability foot on the handle side. Whenever you need to move the appliance, be sure to wind the feet back up so that the appliance can roll freely and be sure to reset it when reinstalling.
9. Plug your refrigerator straight into its own power point and never use a double adapter. If you need to roll the refrigerator to get to the plug, remember to raise the stability foot first.
10. Before you put any food in your refrigerator, it’s recommended you leave it on for 2 or 3 hours to check it is running properly.

Fitting the handles
The handles are supplied prepackaged inside your refrigerator and will require fitting. Refer to the instructions provided in the pack. Congratulations! You have successfully installed your new refrigerator.

USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
Refrigerators work by transferring heat from the food inside to the outside air. This operation makes the back and sides of the refrigerator feel warm or even hot particularly at start-up and on warm days – this is normal. Avoid placing food against the air vents in the refrigerator as it affects efficient circulation. If the door is opened frequently, a light frosting will occasionally occur on the freezer’s interior. This is normal and will clear after a few days. If the freezer door is accidentally kept open, a heavy frost will coat the inside walls and should be removed. Your new refrigerator uses a high-speed compressor, along with other energy-efficient components, which may make unusual sounds and be more noticeable at night and quieter times. These sounds simply indicate your refrigerator is working how it should. They include:

• Compressor running noises;
• Air movement noise from the small fan motor;
• A gurgling sound, similar to water boiling;
• A popping noise, heard during automatic defrosting; and
• A clicking noise, prior to compressor start-up. Further details can be found in the Troubleshooting Guide.

IMPORTANT

For top mount refrigerators (where the freezer is on top of the fresh food compartment).

•  Don’t place food forward of the ribs on the freezer floor, as it will keep the door open.

For bottom mount refrigerators (where freezer is below the fresh food compartment):

1.  Ensure all freezer drawers and shelves are pushed back completely to prevent them from keeping the door open.

REMOVING  FEATURES

Removal of Crisper Drawer:

1. Empty food from the crisper. On some models it will be necessary to remove the bottle storage bins.

Automatic Ice Maker
The automatic ice making function pumps water from the water tank located in the refrigerator and dispenses it into the automatic ice maker in the freezer. The ice will then be dropped into the ice bin located beneath t

If the water tank is empty, the ice maker will automatically turn off after 3 attempts at pumping water from the tank. The ice maker indicator on the user interface shows the operational status of the ice maker (Refer control instructions). Water Tank Refilling Step

1. Pull the tank directly out of the tank housing frame. Step
2. Pour potable water through the lid at the top of the water tank. Step
3. Push the tank directly into the tank housing frame. To avoid water leaks ensure that the tank nozzle fully engages with the housing socket. Step
4. Ensure ice maker is switched ON (refer control instructions).

CAUTION
Do not fill the water tank with anything other than clean water (Filtered or Mineral water). Soft drink, juice, tea or hot water etc, can damage your automatic icemaker. The water tank can withstand a maximum water temperature of 60°C.

Tips and Useful Information
Remove and clean ice bin and water tank once a month, discarding unused ice and water. This will ensure fresh ice and smooth operation of your icemaker. Make sure your refrigerator is level to avoid
uneven ice cubes.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL
If you want to change the temperature, follow the instructions in the section About the User Interface for your model. Ensure that you make only small adjustments and wait 24 hours to see if it’s to your liking.

IMPORTANT
NOTE When you set a temperature, you set an average temperature for the whole refrigerator cabinet. Checking the softness of ice cream is a good indication that your freezer is the right temperature, while checking the temperature of water kept in the refrigerator is a good way of checking the temperature of the food compartment. Temperatures inside each compartment may vary, depending on how much food you store and where you place it. High or low room temperature may also affect the actual temperature inside the refrigerator.
