GENERAL WARNINGS

•	When transporting and installing the refrigerator,
care should be taken to ensure that no parts of the
refrigerating circuit are damaged.
•	Keep ventilation openings in the appliance enclosure
or in the built-in structure clear of obstruction.
•	When installed correctly, your refrigerator should:
– Have adequate space at the back and sides for
air circulation (refer to page 5).
– Be vertically aligned to the surrounding cupboards.
– Have doors that will self-close from a partially
open position.
NOTE: You must read these warnings carefully
before installing or using the refrigerator. If you need
assistance, contact your Customer Care Department.
The manufacturer will not accept liability, should these
instructions or any other safety instructions incorporated
in this book be ignored.

INSTALLATION
Clean the refrigerator thoroughly according to
instructions and wipe away any dust that has
accumulated during shipping.
Check that the floor is level. If it is not, adjust the
stabilising foot so that the refrigerator is level and stable.
We recommend that the refrigerator be turned on and
left to run for two to three hours before placing any food
inside it. This will allow you to check that it is operating
properly and there is adequate cool air in the freezer.

Installation clearances
•

	Allow a minimum of 30mm clearance on both sides
of the refrigerator.

•

	Allow a minimum of 50mm clearance at the back of
the refrigerator.

•

	Allow a minimum of 50mm (X) clearance above
the refrigerator.

•

	If you do not have above cupboard with a rear gap of
minimum 100mm (Y), recommended clearance at the
top of the refrigerator is 90mm (X).

•

	When positioned in a corner, the clearance must be
at least 300mm on the hinge side to allow the door
to open smoothly so that bins and shelves can be
removed easily. For easy removal of Crisper it is
recommended to remove bottle door bin first if
minimum clearance in the corner on hinge side is less
than 350mm.

CABINET
DOOR

Make sure that the freezer and fresh food doors are
fully closed after you have loaded or removed food
from these compartments. If the doors are left partly
opened, a heavy frost will coat the inside of the freezer.
If this occurs, remove the frost. Ensure that all doors are
properly closed to prevent frost from reappearing.
Your refrigerator uses energy efficient components that
may produce different noises from your old refrigerator.
Occasionally, a gurgling sound of refrigerant flowing or
sound of parts expanding or contracting can be heard.
These noises are quite normal.

Cleaning
Exterior
Clean the refrigerator with only 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
Clean the refrigerator interior regularly. Turn power off.
Wipe the interior with a soft cloth and lukewarm soapy
water. Thoroughly dry all surfaces and removable parts.
Avoid getting water on the refrigerator controls. If you
have taken out any removable parts, replace them and
switch on the power before re-stocking the refrigerator.
Wipe away thoroughly any food spills.
Keep door seals clean
Ensure that the door seals are always clean. Sticky food
and drinks can cause seals to adhere to the cabinet and
may cause the seal to tear when opening the door.
Wash seals with lukewarm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly
and dry.

WARNING
CAUTION
NOTE: Refrigerator doors on all models are designed to sit
proud of cabinetry (not flush). In installations where both
sides and the rear of the refrigerator are not enclosed by
cabinetry e.g. the refrigerator is placed against a wall, the
clearance between the rear of the refrigerator and the wall
should not be greater than 75mm.

Never use hot water, solvents, commercial kitchen
cleaners, aerosol cleaners, metal polishers, caustic or
abrasive cleaners or scourers to clean the appliance
as they will damage it. Many commercially available
cleaning products and detergents contain solvents that
will damage your refrigerator. When cleaning, use only a
soft cloth and lukewarm soapy water.

Initial start up
When in operation, the outside of the refrigerator will feel
warm, particularly at start up. This is normal.
Avoid placing food against air outlets as this will impede
air circulation.
A light frosting will occasionally occur on the cold interior
of the freezer if the door is opened frequently. This is
normal and the frost will disappear after a few days in
most climates.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Appliance does not operate at desired temperature
In a modern frost free refrigerator / freezer, cold air is circulated around the various compartments through air vents
using a high efficiency fan.
CONCERN

WHAT TO DO

Refrigerator is too warm.

Ensure food is allowed to cool before placing inside the refrigerator.
Ensure the appliance is set up as per instructions on page 11.
Ensure that contents are not obstructing the cooling vents.
Ensure the door is not held open or is being opened too frequently.

Freezer is too warm.

Adjust temperature to a colder setting.
Ensure food is allowed to cool before placing inside the freezer.
Ensure the appliance is set up as per instructions on page 11.
Ensure that contents are not obstructing the cooling vents.
Ensure the door is not held open or is being opened too frequently.

Food is freezing in the
refrigerator.

Adjust temperature to a warmer setting.

Unable to change temperature
settings.

Refer to function guide in Controlling Your Refrigerator.

Ensure that fruit and vegetables are stored in the crisper. Items with a high water
content should not be placed near the cooling vents.
Ensure that user interface is in "awake" mode before trying to adjust temperature
settings.

Appliance noise
Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old one didn’t make. Because the sounds are new to you, you might
be concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces, like the floor, walls and cabinets, can make
the sounds seem louder than they actually are. The following describes the kinds of sounds and what may be making
them.
CONCERN

WHAT TO DO

Motor noise (compressor).

Nothing. This is normal as your new refrigerator uses a variable speed compressor
and fan that at start up and on warm days runs at a high speed to provide additional
cooling.
When less cooling is required the compressor and fan will run at a lower speed
Note that the compressor noise may seem louder at the start of the on cycle.

A clicking noise heard just before
the compressor starts.

Nothing. This is normal as your new refrigerator has an automatic switching
action of the temperature control, turning the compressor on and off.

Occcasional gurgling, similar to
water boiling.

Nothing. As each refrigeration cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to
the refrigerant flowing in your refrigerator system.

Airflow noise.

Nothing, this is normal as your new refrigerator uses high efficiency fans to
circulate air. Fan speed and noise may increase during periods of heavy usage or
hot weather.

Rattling and other noises.

Ensure that the cabinet is level and stable, refer to Installation Instructions on
page 11.
Check the surrounds of the appliance to ensure there is nothing touching or
placed on top of the appliance.
Ensure that contents of the appliance are not placed in such a way that they are
vibrating (such as bottles).

TROUBLESHOOTING

Refrigerator operation
CONCERN

WHAT TO DO

When your appliance is not
operating

Check that the power cord is plugged into the power outlet properly and that the
outlet is switched on.
Try running another appliance from the same power outlet. If no power is coming
out from the outlet, you may have a blown fuse or tripped your household power
supply circuit.
Try adjusting the temperature control to a slightly colder position.
It is normal for the freezer fan to NOT operate during the automatic defrost cycle or
for a short time after the refrigerator is turned on.

When there is refrigerator
noise

Your refrigerator uses energy efficient components that may produce different
noises from your old refrigerator.
Occasionally, a gurgling sound of the refrigerant flowing or the sound of parts
contracting or expanding may be heard.
These sounds are quite normal. If the refrigerator is rattling or making vibrating
noises, check that it is level and adjust levelling foot.

If there are odours inside the
refrigerator

The interior may need cleaning.

If the temperature in the
refrigerator is too warm

Check that the refrigerator has enough clearance at the sides, back and top. Refer
to the installation instructions in this manual.

Some foods may produce strong odours and need to be tightly sealed.

Refer to ‘Temperature Control’ section.
The door may have been opened for too long or too frequently.
Food containers or packaging may be holding the door.
If the temperature in the
refrigerator is too cold

Refer to ‘Temperature Control’ section
Increase the temperature to avoid high energy consumption.
