Manual

INSTALLATION

Clean the refrigerator thoroughly according to instructions

and wipe away any dust that has accumulated

during shipping.

Check that the floor is level. If it is not, adjust the stabilising

foot so that the refrigerator is level and stable.

We recommend that the refrigerator be turned on and left

to run for two to three hours before placing any food inside

it. This will allow you to check that it is operating properly

and there is adequate cool air in the freezer.

Installation clearances

• Allow a minimum of 30mm clearance on both sides of

the refrigerator.

• Allow a minimum of 50mm clearance at the back of

the refrigerator.

• Allow a minimum of 50mm (X) clearance above the

refrigerator.

• If you do not have above cupboard with a rear gap of

minimum 100mm (Y), recommended clearance at the

top of the refrigerator is 90mm (X).

• When positioned in a corner, the clearance must be

at least 300mm on the hinge side to allow the door

to open smoothly so that bins and shelves can be

removed easily.

50mm

CABINET

DOOR

30mm

NOTE: Refrigerator doors on all models are designed

to sit proud of cabinetry (not flush). The refrigerator should

be placed against a wall of cabinetry and the clearance

between the rear of the refrigerator and the wall should not

be greater than 75mm.

Initial start up

When in operation, the outside of the refrigerator will feel

warm, particularly at start up. This is normal.

Avoid placing food against air outlets as this will impede

air circulation.

A light frosting will occasionally occur on the cold interior

of the freezer if the door is opened frequently. This is

normal and the frost will disappear after a few days in

most climates.

INSTALLING YOUR NEW APPLIANCE

Make sure that the freezer and fresh food doors are fully

closed after you have loaded or removed food from these

compartments. If the doors are left partly opened, a heavy

frost will coat the inside of the freezer. If this occurs, remove

the frost. Ensure that all doors are properly closed to prevent

frost from reappearing.

Your refrigerator uses energy efficient components that

may produce different noises from your old refrigerator.

Occasionally, a gurgling sound of refrigerant flowing or

sound of parts expanding or contracting can be heard.

These noises are quite normal.

Cleaning

Exterior

Clean the refrigerator with only lukewarm soapy water

and a soft cloth. Rinse with clean water and then wipe the

surface with a soft clean cloth to remove any soap residue.

Interior

Clean the refrigerator interior regularly. Turn power off.

Wipe the interior with a soft cloth and lukewarm soapy

water. Thoroughly dry all surfaces and removable parts.

Avoid getting water on the refrigerator controls. If you have

taken out any removable parts, replace them and switch on

the power before re-stocking the refrigerator. Wipe away

thoroughly any food spills.

Keep door seals clean

Ensure that the door seals are always clean. Sticky food

and drinks can cause seals to adhere to the cabinet and

may cause the seals to tear when opening the door. Wash

seals with lukewarm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry.

WARNING

Never use hot water, solvents, commercial kitchen cleaners,

aerosol cleaners, metal polishers, caustic or abrasive

cleaners or scourers to clean the appliance as they will

damage it. Many commercially available cleaning products

and detergents contain solvents that will damage your

refrigerator. When cleaning, use only a soft cloth and

lukewarm soapy water.

How often should I defrost my freezer? Verified

For optimal use of the freezer it is best to defrost it once every 3-6 months. Ice on the inside of the freezer reduces the available space and increases the use of energy. The thawing process can be accelerated by placing hot water in the drawer or placing bowls of hot water in the freezer.

My fridge-freezer makes a bubbling sound, is that normal? Verified

Modern fridge-freezers make use of an environmentally friendly cooling agent. During the cooling process this substance turns into a gas, which can cause a bubbling and/or hissing sound. This is perfectly normal.

I bought a new fridge-freezer, can I turn it on immediately? Verified

No, the fridge-freezer needs to stand in an upright position for at least 4 hours before it can be turned on. This is because the coolant liquid needs to settle.

Is it normal that water or ice drops are forming on the back wall of my fridge-freezer? Verified

Yes, this a completely normal phenomenom. The moisture that enters the fridge-freezer with warm air or products will settle on the coldest part, being the back wall. Because the back wall can reach temperatures below freezing, the drops will freeze from time to time. When the fridge-freezer is idle the drops will thaw and flow to the drain of the fridge-freezer.

How long does it take for my refrigerator to reach the set temperature after I turn it on? Verified

This depends on the size, age and model of the refrigerator. It may take several hours to 24 hours for the refrigerator to reach the set temperature. The process can be accelerated by placing non-perishable goods in the refrigerator. The temperature in the refrigerator cannot be measured properly by feeling the air inside. The best way to tell if the refrigerator has reached the set temperature is to place a glass of water in the refrigerator with a thermometer in it.

There is condensation in my refrigerator, why is that? Verified

There can be several causes. The door gasket can be defective, allowing outside air into the refrigerator. It's also possible that the refrigerator is not level, preventing the door from closing correctly. Another cause is a large difference between the temperature inside the refrigerator and outside while the door is being opened frequently.

Can I put warm food or drinks in my fridge-freezer? Verified

Preferably not. The temperature in your fridge-freezer will rise, which negatively impacts the other items that are stored inside.

There is mold on the rubber seals of my fridge-freezer, what should I do? Verified

The rubber seals are not actually inside the fridge-freezer and are therefore warmer. This allows bacteria to grow and mold to form. Clean the rubbers regularly to prevent this.
