Introduction
Important Safety Instruction
The supply plug of the refrigerator-freezer should be
placed in easy accessible position for quick disconnection
in emergency.
It will cause electric shock or fire.
Accessibility of

person in order to avoid a hazard.
Supply Cord
Replacement
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.
Grounding
(Earthing)
Danger

Before you throw away your old refrigerator or freezer:
Take off the doors.
Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily
climb inside.
•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.

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

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
2
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.

Suggestions on food storage
•
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 - 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.
Storing Food
Caution

Suggestions on food storage

frozen food.
•
If you want to quick freeze new food, you put it middle
drawer of freezer compartment, and then press the
Super Freezer button.
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
•To ensure good air circulation in the appliance, insert
the freezer drawers all the way.
•If large quantities of food are to be stored in the freezer,
a middle drawer of freezer compartment can be taken
out of the appliance and the food can be stored directly
right over the food stacked from the lower drawer.
To remove a freezer drawer, pull out all the way, lift at
the front and remove.
