wWARNING
w Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in
structure, clear of obstruction.
w Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the
defrosting process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
w Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
w Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments
of the appliance, unless they are of the type recommended by the
manufacturer.
w Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with a
flammable propellant in this appliance.
w The refrigerant and insulation blowing gas used in the appliance require
special disposal procedures. When disposal, please consult with service
agent or a similarly qualified person.
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 1
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.

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 in. 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.
