DOORS
The refrigerator should arrive with the front rollers wound
down. We recommend that the appliance be tilted
backwards by about 10 to 15 millimetres, this will allow
the doors to self close providing a consistent door seal.
To do this follow the instructions below.
Height adjustable
front rollers
Fixed rear rollers
10 -15mm
When you want to install your appliance, take the
following steps.
1. Roll the refrigerator into it’s final position.
CAUTION!
The rollers are designed for forward or backward
movement only. They are not castors. Moving the
refrigerator sideways may damage your floor and
the rollers.
2. If the refrigerator is not tilted back you can adjust the
two front rollers by adjusting the large plastic roller nut
(refer to ‘Adjusting door alignment’ section). You may
need two people, one to adjust rollers and one to tilt
the refrigerator slightly back to take the weight of the
appliance off the front rollers.
This will increase or decrease the height of the
rollers. One turn of the nut will change the tilt of the
refrigerator by approximately 5mm.
