INSTALLATION

Installation

Location

When selecting a position for your unit you should make sure the floor is flat and firm, and

the room is well ventilated with an average room temperature of between 16°C and 38°C.

Avoid locating your unit near a heat source, e.g. cooker, boiler or radiator. Also avoid direct

sunlight as it may increase the electrical consumption. Extreme cold ambient temperatures

may also cause the unit not to perform properly. This unit is not designed for use in a garage

or outdoor installation. Do not drape the unit with any covering.

Levelling the Unit

To do this adjust the two levelling feet at the front of the unit.

If the unit is not level, the doors and magnetic seal alignments

will not be covered properly.

Free Space Requirements

When installing the unit, ensure that 25

mm of free space is left at both sides, 50

mm at the rear and 25 mm at the top of

the unit. The door can be opened to the

right or the left, depending on which

best suits the location. Please ensure

there is adequate space for the door to

fully open.

INSTALLATION

1. At the top of the refrigerator, use a flat

bladed screw driver to remove the 4

screw covers from the refrigerator lid.

2. Remove the 3 bolts and upper hinge that

hold the upper door in place. Carefully

lift the upper door out and place on

a padded surface to prevent from

scratching.

4. Between the upper and lower door,

remove the hinge hole covers from the

left side of the unit and transfer them to

the hinge holes on the opposite side of

the unit.

3. Remove the 2 flange screws, then remove

the middle hinge that holds the lower

door in place. Lift the lower door and

place it on a padded surface to prevent

from scratching.

• Ensure the unit is unplugged and empty.

• To take the door off it is necessary to tilt the unit backwards. You should rest the

unit on something solid, e.g. a chair just below the top panel.

• All parts removed must be saved to do the reinstallation of the door.

• Do not lay the unit flat as this may damage the coolant system.

• We recommend that 2 people handle the unit during assembly.

• If you want to have the door swing reversed, we recommend that you contact a

qualified technician. You should only try to reverse the door yourself if you believe

that you are qualified to do so.
