Kelvinator Refrigeration Installing your new refrigerator
5
5. If the refrigerator now rocks from one corner to the
opposite rear corner, this means that the floor is uneven;
you will need to put some packing under one of the
rear rollers. You could use thin pieces of solid material,
such as thin board, vinyl floor tiles or laminate. Place
the packing so that it will sit under one of the rear rollers
when the refrigerator is rolled into position.
6. You may now need to fine-tune the installation
by repeating Steps 3, 4 and 5.
7. When you have the appliance in its final position,
it needs to be stabilised. Wind the stability foot down
to the floor until it just makes contact with the floor.
Lift the front of the appliance to take the weight off the
stability foot, then turn it ¼ turn further to ensure firm
contact with the floor. Whenever you need to move
the appliance, be sure to wind the foot back up so
that the appliance can roll freely and be sure to
reset it when reinstalling.

8. Clean your refrigerator thoroughly following the
instructions on page 11 and wipe off any dust that
has accumulated during shipping.
9. Plug the refrigerator into the power point. Don’t use
a double adaptor. If you need to roll the refrigerator

10. 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.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed your
new refrigerator.

Adjustingdooralignment–SidebySiderefrigeratoronly
Each door is independently adjustable in the vertical
direction by turning the adjustable bolts under the hinges
using a spanner.
The doors can be adjusted up or down. Depending on
the amount of adjustment required it may be sufficient
to adjust only one door. (see Diagrams below)
Note: When the height of the rollers and adjusting bolts
are correctly adjusted the refrigerator will stand firmly on
the floor then adjust door alignment as required.
