Installation instructions
Before placing food in the fresh food or freezer compartments
Remove all packaging. Ensure that all transit clips/tape are removed from the refrigerator.
Clean the inside of the appliance with a mix of warm water, a little liquid detergent and a soft
cloth 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
For the most energy efficient use of your appliance:
Ensure your refrigerator has adequate ventilation as recommended in the installation
instructions.
Do not cover your appliance with any material that will prevent air from flowing around the
cabinet sides.
Allow good clearances in front of air ducts within the cabinet for maximum cold air distribution.
Cool hot foods down before placing them in the appliance.
Do no overfill the compartments.
Keep door openings to a minimum.
Select a temperature setting that isn’t too cold.
Check your door seals for leaks.
Moving or storing your refrigerator
If your refrigerator loses power for any reason, or you turn it off, wait 10 minutes before
restoring power. This will allow the refrigeration system pressures to equalize before restarting.
