these instructions carefully and retain them for future reference.
Do not use this appliance for other than its intended use.
Do not probe any opening.
Only use this appliance with the voltage specified on the cabinet rating label.
Ensure the appliance has adequate ventilation as this is essential to
economical, high performance.
Be careful not to touch internal moving parts and hot surfaces.
For your own safety and that of others, ensure that all electrical work is done
by authorised personnel.
If the power supply flexible cord becomes damaged, it must be replaced by
an authorised service agent or similarly qualified person in order to avoid a
hazard.
Ensure all necessary safety precautions are observed during installation or
removal of the refrigeration unit.
The appliance is not designed to be stable while in motion. Use extreme
caution when moving or transporting it.
Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with a flammable
propellant in this appliance.
Do not exceed a maximum load of 20kg per shelf.
If the cabinet is to be scrapped, ensure the cabinet is unplugged from the
power supply and cut off the mains flex close to the back of the cabinet. Be
mindful of the risk of animals or children becoming trapped in the appliance -
either remove or secure doors if necessary.
Refrigerant must be removed by a qualified service person and the cabinet
recycled/disposed of in accordance with local regulations.
WARNING
• Ensure the appliance is disconnected from the power supply before
performing any cleaning or maintenance.
• Do not cover the grilles or block the entry or exhaust of airflow by
placing objects up against the refrigeration unit.
• Should manual defrosting be necessary, turn off the refrigeration
system and allow the ice to melt by air circulation. Do not use
mechanical methods to remove ice, as this may damage the
refrigeration circuit.
• Do not use any electrical devices or appliances inside the food
storage compartment.
This cabinet is designed to operate within a specific climatic class environment.
See the cabinet rating label inside the cabinet for climate class number.

Positioning the Fridge
Climate Class This fridge is designed to operate within a climate class 5 environment (40°C
@ 40% RH).
Fridge
Location
The location of the fridge may be the single most important decision that will
extend its life and ensure economical, high performance. Select a suitable
location for the fridge away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
Allow adequate space for the door/s to open and close properly. Self-closing
doors have internal torsion bars pretensioned at the factory.
Ensure the cabinet sits on a level surface so that the door shuts and
correctly seals, and that the doors are unobstructed. Level footing also
prevents the condensate tray from overflowing.
Ventilation Ensure adequate ventilation is provided around the fridge. The fridge should
not be recessed or enclosed in a cabinet, it is designed for free standing
installation only. A 100mm gap must be left behind the cabinet.
Power Cord The fridge is fitted with a 1.7m flexible power cord with a 3-pin plug, which
exits the rear of the refrigeration system. Pull the power cord around so that
it’s not trapped before you position the fridge.
Stabiliser Feet Adjust the front stabiliser feet (see image below) to ensure the fridge sits
firmly on a level surface so that the door shuts and correctly seals. Turn anti-
clockwise to raise and clockwise to lower the stabiliser feet.
CAUTION
To prevent over heating and conserve energy, ensure air flows
freely all around the fridge. There MUST be a minimum
100mm gap behind the fridge.
