CLEARANCE AROUND YOUR REFRIGERATOR
Before you move your refrigerator into the place where it
will operate, check that it will have adequate clearance.
Clearance is required for air circulation and too little
clearance may affect your refrigerator’s performance.

BEFORE USING YOUR NEW REFRIGERATOR
Clean your refrigerator thoroughly following the instructions
and wipe off any dust that has accumulated during
shipping.

provided levelling leg so product is level and stable.
We recommend that you let your refrigerator run for two
to three hours before you put any food in it. This will allow
you to check that it is operating properly and that enough
cool air is going to the freezer.
INITIAL START UP
Note that during operation the outside of the refrigerator
will feel warm, particularly at initial start up. This is normal.
Avoid placing food against air outlets, as this will affect air
circulation.
A light frosting will occasionally occur on the cold interior
of the freezer when the door is opened frequently. This
is normal and will disappear after a few days in most
climates.
Exterior
You should only clean your refrigerator with lukewarm
soapy water and a soft cloth. Rinse with clean water and
then wipe the surface with a soft clean cloth to remove any
soap residue.
Interior
You should clean the refrigerator interior regularly. Wash
the interior with a soft cloth and lukewarm soapy water.
Thoroughly dry all surfaces and removable parts. Avoid
getting water on refrigerator controls. If you have taken out
any removable parts, replace them and switch the power
on before restocking the refrigerator with food. Naturally,
you should keep the interior of your refrigerator hygienic by
promptly and thoroughly wiping up any food spills.
Keep the door seals clean

can cause seals to stick to the cabinet and tear when you
open the door. Wash seal with lukewarm soapy water.
Rinse thoroughly and dry.
WARNING
Never use hot water, solvents, commercial kitchen cleaners,
aerosol cleaners, metal polishes, caustic or abrasive
cleaners, or scourers to clean this appliance as they
