SAVETHESE INSTRUCTIONS

Installation --Four Essential Requirements
Please follow the steps for installation to ensure your appliance operates correctly.
1. Power
Tile appliance must be installed so the plug is accessible.
To ensure that the appliance is not accidentally switched off,connect your refrigerator or freezer
to its own power point. Do not pk]g in any other appliance at this power point or use extension
cords and double adaptors, as the combined weight of both power cords can pull the double
adaptor from a wall outlet socket.
For power requirements, refer to tile info/mation on the serial plate located at the front bottom
right-hand side of the refrigerator when the door is open.
It is essential that the appliance be properly grounded (earthed).
2. Location
Your refrigerator or freezer should not be located in direct sunlight or next to any heat
generating appliance such as a range or dishwasher
3. Stability
It is important that all four corners of the refrigerator or freezer base are supported firmly on the
floor to eliminate any cabinet movement.
installing the appliance on a soft o/uneven or unlevel floor may result in twisting of the cabinet
and poor sealing of the doors. If the doors do not seal properly, warm air will enter the ftood
storage a/eas causing the temperature to increase, resulting it/food spoilage and food loss.
Before moving your refrigerator or freezer into its position, ensure that the adjustable front feet
are fully retracted by turning them antidockwise (counterclockwise), ie. towards the right of
the cabinet
Position your refrigerator or freezer. Turn the adjustable fcJetclockwise, ie. to the left, to lower
the adjustable front feet. Raise the front of the appliance until it is stable and the doors move
towards the closed position, on thek own, when open.
The front levelling foot on the hinge side should take the ma]ority of the weight of the cabinet
and the cabinet should be stable, i.e. cabinet should not rock or wobble.

Installation - Four Essential Requirements
4, Ventilation and InstaUlation
To ensure adequate ventilation for your refrigerator or freezer, allow a minimum of 2" (50ram) of
airspace above tile cabinet, s4"(20mm) on each side, and 11/s"(30mm) at tile rear. (See diagram 1).
The appliance is intended to be placed against a wall with a free distance not exceeding
3"(75mm),
If building the appliance into a cupboard, follow installation instructions provided with the
Ensurethe front face of the bench is aligned to the front corner edge of the refrigerator door, This
will allow the door to fully open, (Seediagram 2).
If placing the refrigerator in a corner allow 5 _/2"(140mm) clearance for the door to be able to
open, (Seediagram 3),

Before Placing Food in the Fresh Food or Freezer Compartments
Remove all packaging. Ensure that all t/ansit clips ate removed from the refdgeratoh These are
small rubber stops located at the back of the shelves.
Allow the refrigerator and freezer to run empty for 2 _ hours to allow each compartment to con
to the appropriate temperature.
Clean the insi(Je of the appliance with warm water and a Iktle liquid detergent to remove
manufacturing and transportation dust
The appliance may have an odor on its initial operation, but this w@ go when the refrigerator and
freezer have cooled sufficiently.
Energy Efficiency
Do not cover your appliances with any material that will prevent air from flowing around the
cabinet sides.
Do not leave the door open for any longer than is necessary.
Allow good clearances in front of the air ducts within the cabinet for maximum cold
air distribution.

Moving or Storing Your Refrigerator
if your refrigerator or freezer isturned off for any reason,wait 10 minutes before turning it back
on, This will allow the refrigeration system pressures to equalise before restarting,
Moving 'four Refrigerator
Turn off fi_e appliance and unplug from the power point. Remove all food
Turn the ad]ustable feet to the right as far as they will turn (see page 7).
Ease the refrigerator out of its position, luck the power cord away and tape the doors dosed.
rape the shelves in place, if tile cabinet needs to be pBced at an angb or lai(J down, carefully lay
it on its side (the right hand side when viewed from the front).
Relocate and install. If the applbnce has been left on its side for any length of time, leave it
standing upright for at least 10 minutes before turning on
Storing 'four Refrigerator or Freezer
When storing your cleaned appliance, leave the door(s) open. This allows air to circulate and
prevents the build up of bacteria and moulds.

of baking soda to each ] pint (500 ml) of water). Rinse with clean water.
Vacation Time
We recommend you leave your refrigerator or freezer operating while you are on vaca ion.

Active Smart TMOperating Instructions
Temperature Control
When the refrigerator is first turned on, the powerful cooling system will automatically cool both
refrigerator and freezer compartments to their set temperatures. This will take between 2 3
hours depending on the temperature and humidity of the erwironment.
The two compartment temperatures are accurately and independently controlled and do not
change with the temperature or humidity of the surroundings; whether summer or winter.
If you wish to alter the temperature of either the fresh food compartment or freezer
compartment, this can be easily done by using the Control panel located at the back of the fresh
food compartment.
