• Do not disassemble, repair or alter the appliance.
It may cause fire or abnormal operations, which may
lead to injury.
• Pull the power plug out of the socket before replacing
the interior light in the refrigerator.
Otherwise, there is a risk of electric shock.
• If possible, connect the fridge-freezer to its own
individual electrical outlet to prevent it and other
appliances or household lights from causing an overload.
It will cause electric shock or fire.
The supply plug of the refrigerator-freezer should be
placed in easy accessible position for quick disconnection
in emergency.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified
person in order to avoid a hazard.
Don't store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors
and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
In the event of an electric short circuit, grounding
(earthing) reduces the risk of electric shock by providing
an escape wire for the electric current. In order to prevent
possible electric shock, this appliance must be grounded.
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in an
electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or service
person if the grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if you have doubts on whether the
appliance is properly grounded or not.

This appliance contains a small amount of isobutane
refrigerant (R600a), 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
1m2in 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.

Storing Food
ww Caution
• Do not store food which goes bad easily at low
temperature, such as banana, and melon.
• Allow hot food to cool prior to storing. Placing hot food
in the fridge-freezer could spoil other food, and lead to
higher electric bills.
• When storing the food, use a container with a lid. This
prevents moisture from evaporating, and helps food to
keep its taste and nutrients.
• Do not block air vents with food. Smooth circulation of
cold air keeps fridge-freezer temperature even.
• Do not open the door frequently. Opening the door lets
warm air enter the fridge-freezer, and cause
temperature to rise.
• Never keep too many foods in door rack, as this may
stop the door from fully closing.
• Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment,
Miracle Zone or snack bin they may break when frozen.
• Do not refreeze food that has been thawed. This causes
loss of taste and nutrition.
• Do not store pharmaceutical products, scientific materials
or other temperature sensitive products in the refrigerator.
Products that require strict temperature controls must
not be stored in the refrigerator.
• If you want to quick freeze new food, you put it middle
drawer of freezer compartment, and then press the
Super Freezer button.
• Do not put in front of the air hole of the upper drawer of
freezer compartment. It could decrease freezer capacity.
If you keep the fridge-freezer in a hot, and humid place,
frequently open its door or put a lot of vegetables in it, dew
may form in it, which has no effect on its performance.
Remove the dew with dust cloth free from care.
Note
Suggestions on food storage

Care and Maintenance

stores. Try to avoid opening and closing the door too
frequently.
• Take out foods from the fridge-freezer and firmly fix the
loose items with tape.
• Do not move the fridge freezer by sliding.
• The Anti-Condensation pipe
is installed around the front
side of fridge-freezer as well
as on the partition between
fridge compartment and
freezer compartment to
prevent dewing.
• Especially after installation or
when ambient temperature
is high, the fridge-freezer
may feel hot, which is quite normal.
