Mount your fridge with internal sleeves

Option 1 – Mount with internal sleeves

There are 6 internal sleeves on the inside of your fridge cabinet (2 on each side in the fridge and one on each side in the freezer). You can screw or bolt through these sleeves, from the inside of your fridge out into your cabinetwork.

  • Only use M5 screws or bolts with the thread type to suit your application.
  • Drill 4mm pilot holes through the plastic sleeve from inside of your fridge cabinet, and continue to drill all the way through the fridge cabinet sheet metal sides. The fridge is now ready to go into your cavity.
  • Before you insert the screws or bolts, ensure that the exterior of the fridge cabinet is flush with your cavity. If there is a gap on either side, be sure to pack it out with timber.

Option 2 – Use a mounting kit

You will receive a mounting kit (fascia) with your fridge. The mounting kit is affixed to the sides and top of the fridge cabinet using the screws provided.

  1. Remove the M5 screws from the sides and top of the fridge cabinet. There are 4 screws on each side and 2 screws on the top.
  2. There are 2 x side pieces. Each piece is slightly different. Position the side pieces so they are flush with the front edge of the fridge cabinet, and so that the small tab is located at the top, and tighten the screws, as follows. See image to the left.
  3. There are 2 x top pieces. Each piece has a slightly bigger cut-out on one side. The larger cut-out goes over your top hinge plastic cap. Choose which piece you need depending on which side you have your hinges and discard the other.
  4. Position the top piece so it is flush with the front edge of the fridge cabinet and affix using the screws provided.
  5. Your fridge is now ready to be moved into your cavity.

We do not supply screws for affixing the mounting kit to your cavity, please choose screws of the correct type for the material your cavity is made from.


Extra Option 3 – Using rear chassis bolts

There are 2 holes in the rear chassis (where the compressor is mounted). You can bolt down through these holes for extra support in any installation.

Do not screw into other areas on the fridge cabinet as this could damage the refrigeration piping inside the fridge.
