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 height-adjusting nut and the stability foot are fully wound up off the floor.

2. Wind the large height adjusting nut under the 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.

5. If 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. Wind the large height adjusting nut back up to ensure all the weight is now on the front stability foot.

Appliance noise : Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old one didn’t make. Because the sounds are new to you, you might be concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces, like the floor, walls and cabinets, can make the sounds seem louder than they are. The following describes the kinds of sounds and what may be making them.

uses a high-speed compressor which switches on and off during operation.

Note that the compressor noise may seem louder at the start of the cycle.

Motor noise (compressor);| These refrigerators are fitted with a variable- speed compressor and fan. At start-up and on warm days they run at a higher speed to provide additional cooling. When less cooling is required

the compressor and fan will run at a lower speed. As a result, it is normal for sound levels to change depending on operating conditions.

A clicking noise is heard just before the compressor starts.| Nothing. This is normal as your new refrigerator has an automatic switching action of the temperature control, turning the compressor on and off.
CONCERN| WHAT TO DO
---|---
Occasional gurgling, similar to water boiling.| Nothing. As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant flowing in your refrigerator system.

Nothing, this is normal as your new refrigerator uses high efficiency fans to circulate air. Fan speed and noise may increase during periods of heavy usage or hot weather.

Rattling and other noises.| •       Ensure that the cabinet is level and stable, refer to Installation Instructions

•       Check the surrounds of the appliance to ensure there is nothing touching or placed on top of the appliance.

•       Ensure that the household circuit breaker has not tripped or that the fuse has not blown.

•       The appliance maybe in defrost mode, check again in half an hour.

Compressor motor seems to run too long

At normal room temperatures, expect your motor to run about 40% to 80% of the time. Under

warmer conditions, expect it to run more often.

| •        Ensure that the doors are not held open.

•       Check that large amounts of warm food have not just been placed inside the appliance.

•       Note that the appliance will run more than normal just after you install it or when adjusting the temperature setting changes.

Compressor motor seems to run too long . These appliances use a variable speed compressor, which by design can run for long periods of time, this is normal| •       The variable speed compressor and fan that at start up and on warm days, runs at high speeds to provide additional cooling. When less cooling is required the compressor and fan will run at a lower speed, but still may not switch off. This is normal.

•       It is possible that the only time the compressor and fan will stop is when the refrigerator is defrosting which is approximately once per day.

The exterior of the appliance is warm or hot to touch

This is normal because the appliance transfers heat from the inside out through the outer panels and the divider between the doors.

| •       Ensure the appliance has the external clearances recommended in the section “Installing your new appliance”.

•       The exterior of the cabinet will be much warmer on warmer days it may even feel hot to touch, as the appliance is working harder.
