John Lewis SBSKITC is a Side by Side unit designed to combine three different units in one: a cooler section, a beverage storage section, and a freezer section. The sections are not reversible and must be positioned in order from right to left as follows: cooler, beverage storage, freezer.
To install the unit, it is important to first place it upright and remove all packaging, including corner protections. You will then need to screw the M8 nuts onto the respective front feet and the front feet onto the bracket of the unit. Adjustable rear feet must be positioned on the compressor support plate and fixed with four 4.2x13 screws. The front parts of the adjustable rear feet are blocked by fixing two clamps with two M4x6 screws.
