Environment–friendly fridge / freezer using R-600a
refrigerant and cyclopentane blowing agent
•This product protects the environment by using the R-
600a refrigerant and the cyclopentane blowing agent.
• Properties:
ODP (Ozone Depletion Potential) : 0
GWP (Global Warming Potential) : Lowest
High–energy efficiency
• Optimized power consumption when using R-600a and
cyclopentane.
R-134a or R-600a is used as a refrigerant. You can check
the compressor label on the rear of the appliance and the
rating label inside the fridge.
This appliance contains a small amount of
isobutane refrigerant (R600a), a natural gas with
high environmental compatibility, but it is also
combustible. When transporting and installing the
appliance, care should be taken to ensure that no parts of
the refrigerating circuit are damaged.
Refrigerant squirting out of the pipes could ignite or cause
an eye injury. If a leak is detected, avoid any naked flames
or potential sources of ignition and air the room in which
the appliance is standing for several minutes.
• In order to avoid the creation of a flammable gas-air
mixture if a leak in the refrigerating circuit occurs, the
size of the room in which the appliance may be sited
depends on the amount of refrigerant used. The room
must be 1m
3
in size for every 8g of R600a refrigerant
inside the appliance. The amount of refrigerant in your
particular appliance is shown on the identification plate
inside the appliance.
• Never start up an appliance showing any signs of
damage. If in doubt, consult your dealer.
• Keep ventilation openings in the appliance enclosure or
in the built-in structure, clear of obstruction.
• Do not use mechanical devices or other means to
accelerate the defrosting process, other than those
recommended by the manufacturer.
• Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
• Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage
compartments of the appliance, useless they are of a type
recommended by the manufacturer.

and so on.
• Repairs and maintenance of the appliance should only be
performed by a qualified technician. Incorrect repairs by an
unqualified person are a potential source of danger that may
have critical consequences for the user of the appliance.
• Never put ice cubes or ice lollies straight from the freezer into
your mouth. (The low temperature may cause “cold burns”.)
The refrigerant used in fridge / freezers and the gases in the
insulation material require special disposal procedures. Ensure
that none of the pipes on the back of the appliance are damaged
prior to disposal.
DISPOSAL
INSTALLING THE FRIDGE / FREEZER
1. Allow an adequate space and install the fridge / freezer on a
firm, level floor.
• If the appliance is not level, there may be unusual noises
and poor cooling.
2. Clean the fridge / Freezer
• Wipe and clean the inside and outside of appliance with a
damp cloth.
3. Plug the fridge / freezer into a wall socket used exclusively by
this appliance.
•This appliance must be properly earthed.
4. Place the food in the fridge / freezer.
• It is recommended that you wait for the appliance to cool
for 3~4 hours before storing food in it.
5. Keep 30cm of space between the refrigerator and the back
wall.
• Insufficient space causes the noise of vibration, weakening
of refrigerating power and the waste of electricity
6. The electrical plug must be accessible without moving the set.
7. For ambient temperature below 10ºC, the perfect
performance of our refrigerator can not be achieved.
Use of an earthed socket exclusively
for the appliance:
• If you are using a socket with an earthed terminal, you do not
require a separate earthed connection.
Use of a non-earthed socket:
• Connect the “earthed wire” to the steel plate and bury it at
depth of at least 25cm in the ground.
LEVELING
If the front of the appliance is slightly higher than the rear, the
door can be opened and closed more easily.
1. The appliance tilts down to the
left.
Turn the left adjusting leg in the
direction of the arrow until the
appliance is level.
2. The appliance tilts down to the
right.
Turn the right adjusting leg in the
direction of the arrow until the
appliance is level.
PREPARING THE FRIDGE / FREEZER
To prepare your appliance for use and check that it is running
correctly, take the following steps.
1. Install removed all shelves and compartments during transport
in the correct positions.
2. Clean the fridge/freezer and accessories to remove any dust
that accumulated during packing and shipping.
3. The interior light should be turned on when the refrigerator
door’s opened.
4. Set the temperature control to the coldest temperature and let
the refrigerator operate for one hour.The freezer should get
slightly chilled and the motor should run smoothly with a soft
hum and no noise. Your fridge / freezer is operated by a
compressor which switches “on and off” to maintain the
internal temperature. When the compressor is new, it requires
running in for a period of up to five months. During this
period, it may be slightly noisy.This is quite normal and does
not represent a fault.
5. Store food once the temperature in the refrigerator is
sufficiently low. It takes a few hours after starting the
refrigerator to reach the proper temperature.
If the appliance does not operate correctly, check the
electricity supply. If the problem persists, contact your dealer.
