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 surfaces 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.

The rollers are designed for forward or backward

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.
