Introduction.
 Congratulations on the purchase of this quality refrigerator.
 We trust that you will enjoy many years of trouble free use. Please read these instruc-
tions carefully as they will provide you with information on how to operate and care for
your refrigerator in order that you gain the maximum benefit from it.
Unpacking.
 Do not connect the refrigerator to the power supply until all packing and transit protec-
tors have been removed.
 Please memorise the position of accessories so that after unpacking and cleaning, they
may be repositioned correctly.
 Please ensure that packaging material is disposed of in a responsible manner. Plastic
bags should be cut up to prevent children playing with them and accidentally suffocat-
ing.
 If the refrigerator is damaged in any way, do not use it. Report the damage to your
dealer, who will take the necessary corrective action.
 Allow the refrigerator to stand upright for at least 1/2 an hour before switching on the
power. This will allow fluids in the system to settle.
Installation.
 The appliance should be positioned in a dry, well aired place, and away from heat
sources such as stoves, geysers and direct sunlight.
 We do not recommend locating the refrigerator in an outdoor environment.
 Allow an unobstructed air space at the sides and top of the refrigerator for ventilation
purposes. (fig 3)
 Fit the two plastic wall spacers (supplied) to the condenser at the rear of the refrigerator
by rotating them 1/4 turn. (fig 4)
 It is essential to level the unit by turning the two adjustable levelling feet at the front of
the unit either in or out. (fig 5)
 It is advisable to adjust the cabinet so that it tilts slightly backwards. This will assist the
door to close and help the magnetic gasket maintain a good seal.
Electrical installation.
This refrigerator must be earthed and the manufacturer and the seller do not accept
responsibility for any damage due to incorrect electrical connection.
 The refrigerator must be connected to a 220-250V –50Hz electricity supply via a 15A-
3 pin plug and an earthed wall socket in a readily accessible position.
 If the mains power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a qualified electrician.
 We do not recommend the use of adapter plugs or extension cords.
