PLEASE READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Installation
The appliance should arrive with the front levelling feet wound up. The appliance may require to be tiltedbackward at the top by about 10-15mm from vertical.
This will allow the door to gravitate to the closed position. The complete closure of the door seal is reliant on manually pushing the door closed providing a consistent door seal.
(See Diagram 1).
1. Move the appliance to its final position.
2. If it is not tilting back as described above, minor adjustments can be made to the two front levelling legs by turning the feet in an anti-clockwise direction. (Diagram 2). This will increase the height of the feet. If you have difficulty turning the foot, you could have someone tilt the appliance back so that you have better access. If it is not tilted back enough and the levelling legs are fully extended, additional packing might be required (see note 4 for appropriate materials).
3. Compare the alignment of the appliance to the surrounding cupboards. The top of the refrigerator / freezer should be level from side to side. (Diagram 3). If you need to adjust the level, use the levelling feet as explained in step 2.
4. If the appliance now rocks from one corner to the opposite rear corner, this means the floor is uneven.You may need to put some packing under the ridge to the rear of the appliance. You could use thin pieces of solid material, such as thin board, vinyl floor tiles or laminate.
5. You may now need to fine-tune the installation by repeating steps 2,3 and 4.
6. Wipe off any dust that has accumulated during shipping and clean following the directions on page 18.
Installing Your New Appliance:

Refrigerator Operation
Initial Start-up
This product is designed to operate on a power supply of 220 / 240 volts 50 hertz. Connect to a separate power point with a correctly earthed three pin socket. Do not use double adaptors.
The refrigerator transfers heat from food placed inside the refrigerator to the outside air. This process makes the rear, the sides and the area adjacent to the doors feel warm, particularly at the initial start up. This is normal.
Make sure you fully close the refrigerator door after you load or remove food. If the door is left partly open, a heavy frost will coat the inside of the ice box.
Ensure shelves are pushed completely back to prevent them holding the door open.
If the unit is unplugged, power lost, or turned off, you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the refrigerator will not start.
Controlling The Temperature In Your Refrigerator
/ When the thermostat is turned to its lowest setting and past the point of resistance, the appliance will not operate.WARNING! Power is still supplied to the appliance.
/ To make the appliance operate, you must turn the knob clockwise.
/ For all models value 'Less Cold‘ corresponds to the warmest temperature and value 'Colder’ the coldest.
/ The temperatures in the 2 compartments of the refrigerator cannot be adjusted separately - This refers to m
/ When the ambient room temperature is 16ºC, a setting of half way between ‘Less- Cold’ and ‘Mid’ would be appropriate.
/ When the ambient room temperature is 25ºC, a setting of half way between ‘Mid’ and ‘Colder’ could be selected.

Refrigerator Operation
De-icing
The de-icing system for the fridge compartment is automatic
The inside rear face of the fridge is covered with frost when the compressor operates and de-ices when it stops. When the ice melts, the water is evaporates automatically.
The ice-box compartment must always be de-iced when the layer of frost reaches a thickness of about 4mm(5/32"). In any case, this compartment should be de-iced at least once a year. Model
When de-icing, you can use a scraper or other plastic implement, but NEVER a metal instrument or electrical device.
in models: RA122, RA123T, and vertical fridges RP131T and RP241T.
RA110T achieves its cooling from the ice box.
RA110T has the added feature of a drip tray to collect the water.
Ice Making
To make ice cubes, fill the ice tray with water and place it in the ice box.
To remove ice cubes easily, run water on the tray before gently twisting the tray and inverting.

Freezer Operation
/ Your freezer was cleaned and polished before it left the factory./ Before use, dust and wipe over inside and out, using a clean dry cloth./ This product is designed to operate on a power supply of 220 / 240 volts 50
hertz./ Connect to a separate power point with a correctly earthed three pin socket./ Do not use double adaptors.
The freezer transfers heat from food placed inside to the outside air. This process makes the rear and sides of the outer cabinet, particularly at the initial start-up, feel warm to touch. This is normal.Make sure you fully close the freezer door after you load or remove food. If the door is left partly open, a heavy frost will coat the inside of the freezer.Ensure the baskets or bins are pushed all the way in to prevent the door being held open.If the unit is unplugged, power lost, or turned off, you must wait 5 minutes before restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the freezer will not start.
/ Try not to leave the door open for too long, especially in warm and humid climates.
/ It is recommend that you wrap all foods in freezer bags./ Corned or pickled products (containing salts) must NOT be stored in the freezer
unless thoroughly sealed in several freezer bags. Salts cause metal oxidation./ In some circumstances (particularly after recent opening and closing of the
door), you may experience a heavier than normal resistance when opening the door. Should this occur, it is only necessary to wait a minute or so between openings to stabilise the air within the cabinet.
/ If going away for an extended period, turn your freezer off, remove all foods and dry interior throughly. Disconnect the electrical cord and leave the door open.
/ If there's a power failure, do not open the door. Frozen foods will stay frozen for up to 24 hours depending on temperature and load conditions if the door is kept closed.
Features And General Hints
General Information
Initial Start-Up
Controlling Temperature
It is recommended that to ensure safe food storage, the freezer operates for 3 hours with the door closed before being stocked with food.It is also recommended that you wait until the following day before you purchase additional food, either frozen or unfrozen, to stock your freezer.
WARNING! Do not touch freezer shelf surfaces, particularly when hands are damp or wet. Extremely low temperatures may cause your hands to stick.
Your freezer should be defrosted when frost is approximately 6mm thick (1/4"), otherwise it will interfere with efficient operation and storage capacity. To ensure hygiene and efficiency, complete defrosting is recommended at least twice a year,preferably when food supply is low.
/ Switch off power to freezer at power outlet and remove power supply plug./ Remove frozen food, wrap in newspaper and place in a cardboard box or esky./ Leave the door open and wait for the frost to soften; pans of hot water may be
placed inside the freezer to speed up the defrosting./ Place towels and a container to catch the water on the bottom of the freezer.
WARNING! On no account use an electric heater or hair dryer for defrosting the freezer.
Do not use a knife, metal scraper or sharp pointed tool or instrument to remove ice as they cause damage to the liner surface.
/ Scrape the softened frost off the walls, using a plastic scraper./ After defrosting is complete and all of the water has drained, wipe the freezer out
with a damp cloth and dry./ Reconnect the power cord to the power outlet and switch on./ Replace frozen food.
Freezer Operation
The temperature control is located on the top front right hand side of the cabinet on Models FR91T / FR181T. On Model FR81T, the control knob is on the back of the cabinet in the lower left corner.
Leave the control knob in the mid position for a trial period. The control setting can be adjusted if required by rotating the knob. Turn clockwise for colder temperature.
When the thermostat is turned to its lowest setting and past the point of resistance, the appliance will not operate.WARNING! Power is still supplied to the appliance.

Page 19
What To Do Before Calling For Service
If you think something may be wrong with your appliance, you can carry out some easy checks before calling for service. You may locate the problem, sparing yourself from inconvenience and saving time and money.
Problem Solution
When there is refrigerator or freezer noise. . .
Normal operational sounds include:/ The refrigerant gas can create a gurgling sound as it
circulates through the system./ Air flow noise - Model RP241T - a small fan circulates
air inside the refrigerator./ The compressor can rumble. This can be more intense
when the compressor starts. / A clicking noise is the automatic switching action of the
temperature control, turning the compressor on or off./ Sharp cracking sounds produced by expansion and
contraction of the cabinet construction materials.
If there are odours inside the refrigerator. . .
When the motor seems to run more than expected. . .
It is normal for the motor to operate frequently. However, to keep operation to a minimum, check the following:/ Are doors kept open too long or too often?/ Are the controls set too cold?
Refer to 'Controlling the Temperature' on pages 10 & 13./ Has warm food just been stored?/ If the weather is hot or the room is warm, the appliance
will have to work harder./ The appliance will run more than normal just after
installation or when power is restored after the appliance has been turned off for a while.
/ Check that the appliance has enough clearance at the sides, back and top. Refer to 'recommended clearances' on page 3.
/ Refer to 'Controlling the Temperature' on pages 10 & 13./ The door may have been opened too frequently./ Food containers or packaging may be holding a door
open.
If the temperaturein the appliance is too warm. . .
The appliance does not operate.
Check that it is properly plugged in, that the fuse has not blown or that the circuit-breaker has not been tripped.Try another appliance or lamp to see if the outlet has electric current.Turn the temperature control clockwise to the colder temperature range.
