Installation Tips

LG fridge installs usually reward a careful rear-wall check, especially where the powerpoint or tap projects forward.
Measure the handle line and the skirting line separately if the opening narrows near the front.
Keep a little working room at the front so the cabinet can be levelled cleanly.
