• Deteriorated insulation of electrical parts can cause short circuit, electric shock or re.
Do not store pharmaceuticals or other temperature-sensitive products in the refrigerator.
• You should not store products that require strict temperature controls in the refrigerator.
Do not let children climb, swing or hang on the refrigerator door.
• This can cause serious injury, as well as damaging the refrigerator.
Do not operate the refrigerator in the presence of explosive fumes or ammable gas.
• This can cause explosion or re.
Do not store petrol or other ammable liquids and vapours in the refrigerator, or use them near the appliance.
• This can cause explosion or re.
-WARNING: Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate
the defrosting process, other than those recommended by
the manufacturer.
• This can cause damage to the interior of the refrigerator or
cause an explosion.
-WARNING: Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage
compartments of the appliance, unless they are of the type
recommended by the manufacturer.
• This can cause explosion or re.
-WARNING: Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
• This can cause explosion or re.
-WARNING: Do not open the cover of LED lighting of fridge interior.
• This can cause electric shock. If the LED lighting does not work

agent or similarly qualied person in order to avoid a hazard.
Do not try to disassemble, repair or modify the refrigerator yourself.
• You may injure yourself – or others – with burns or electric shock, or damage the refrigerator. If your appliance needs

Ensure that the refrigerator is plugged into an earthed mains socket. DO NOT plug into an unearthed mains
socket.
• A short circuit could cause an electrical shock.
Make sure the mains lead and plug are not squashed or
damaged.
• A damaged mains plug or lead can cause short-circuit, re

Remove any dirt or dust from the mains plug’s pins before connecting to the power supply.
• Dust build-up on the mains plug can cause insulation failure, especially in humid conditions. This can cause short
circuit, re or electric shock. Unplug the mains lead and wipe it with a dry cloth. Never use a wet or damp cloth.
Plug your appliance into the socket, making sure the connection is secure.
• A loosely connected mains plug can cause re or electric shock.
Install the refrigerator in a well-ventilated area.
• The more refrigerant there is in an appliance, the larger the room it should be installed in. If there’s a refrigerant uid
leak, and the appliance is in a small room, the build up of combustible gases is more likely. This can cause re or
explosion. As a guide, for every 8 g of coolant, you’ll need at least 1 cubic metre of space in the room. The data plate
inside the appliance tells you how much refrigerant your refrigerator contains.
The refrigerant (R600a) used in the refrigerator and the gases in the insulation material (cyclopentane) are both
ammable. They also require special disposal procedures.
• Before you dispose of the appliance, make sure none of the pipes on the back are damaged. Refrigerant or gas leaks
can cause re or explosion.
Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and servicing.
• Failure to do this can cause electric shock.
If you smell burning or see smoke coming from the refrigerator, disconnect the power immediately and please
consult authorized service centre.
• Failure to do this can cause re or electric shock.
-WARNING: Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure
or in the built-in structure, clear of obstruction.
• Failure to do this could result in re or explosion because
refrigerant cannot disperse if it leaks.
CAUTION Indicates risk of injury or damage to property.
Do not put glass bottles or containers in the freezer.
• When the contents freeze, the glass may break and cause injury.
Do not touch the inside walls of the freezer or items stored in the freezer with wet hands.
• Your skin can become frozen onto the interior wall, or items stored in the freezer.
If there’s a power cut, avoid opening the refrigerator frequently or putting unchilled
food in it.
• This can cause the temperature in the refrigerator to rise and adversely affect sanitation.
Also, be careful of the gap between the fridge and freezer doors, especially if they are
both open at the same time.
• This may cause personal injury.
When opening the refrigerator, be careful not to pinch your ngers at the “pinch point”
areas. In particular, when opening the fridge door, be careful to avoid the potential
pinch point between the fridge and freezer doors.
• This can cause personal injury.
