Installing the refrigerator:
- Before installing your new fridge, read all safety instructions in this
manual, then follow the instructions below:
- Place the fridge on a sturdy, level floor for quieter operation. Ensure
that the floor is strong enough to support the fridge when it is fully
loaded.
- If the refrigerator is to be placed on a carpet, support it with a
wooden board underneath. Be aware that placing the refrigerator on
the carpet may mean that heat from the compressor may cause the
carpet to fade.
- This appliance is designed to be freestanding only and should not be
recessed or built-in.
- Do not tilt the fridge more than 45° from upright when moving it.
- Avoid areas where the appliance would be exposed to direct sunlight,
sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.), extreme cold ambient
temperatures, or excessive moisture and high humidity. Installing it in
the coolest area of the room will save energy consumption and running
costs.
- Handle with care! Do not apply force to any part such as the
condenser or door. The metal rails on the bottom underneath of this
refrigerator may have sharp edges, so always unpack and handle
with care. Do not drag the unit: place it carefully in position to avoid
scratching the floor.
Space requirements:
- Place the unit so there is enough space for the door to open.
- Ensure that air can circulate freely around the back of the cabinet,
which is necessary to cool the
compressor and condenser. Allow at least 100mm clear space at the
back and 50mm at the sides of the unit.
Leveling:
- The appliance must be installed level in order to work properly. If the
unit is not level, the doors and magnetic seal alignments will not be
covered properly.
- To level the unit, adjust one or both leveling feet at the base of the unit.
