This symbol alerts you to flammable materials
that can ignite and cause a fire if you do not take
care.
This appliance contains a small amount of isobutane
refrigerant (R600a), 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.
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 is used should correspond
to the amount of refrigerant used. The room must be 1
2
m in size for every 8 g of R600a refrigerant inside the
appliance.

SUGGESTION FOR ENERGY SAVING
- Please do not keep the door open for a long time, close door in the shortest time.
- Too much food are not advised to be put I enough space should be kept for cool air circulating
freely.
- Do not set the temperature of refrigerator lower than needed. Do not put the food near the
temperature sensor.
- 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.
- 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.
- The automatic defrosting system in the appliance ensures that the compartment remains free of
ice build up under normal operating conditions
- This guide covers several different models. The refrigerator you have purchased may
have some or all of the features shown above.
- To keep a position of inner parts like as baskets, drawers and shelves supplied by
manufacturer is the most efficient usage for energy saving.
- Due to continuously development, model specification subjected to change.
