authority in regard to safe
disposal of this product.
• 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.
• Never start up an appliance
showing any signs of
damage. If in doubt, consult
your dealer. The room must
be 1m³ in size for every 8g
of R-600a refrigerant inside
the appliance.
The amount of refrigerant in
your particular appliance is
shown on the identification
plate inside the appliance.
• Refrigerant squirting out of
the pipes could ignite or
cause an eye injury. When
refrigerant leaks from the
pipe, avoid any naked
flames and move anything
flammable away from the
product and ventilate the
room immediately.
- Failing to do so may result in
fire or explosion.

ADDITIONAL TIPS
FOR PROPER USAGE
• In the event of a power
failure, call the local office of
your Electricity Company and
ask how long it is going to
last.
- Most power failures that are
corrected within an hour
or two will not affect your
refrigerator temperatures.
However, you should
minimize the number of door
openings while the power is
off.
- But should the power failure
last more than 24 hours,
remove all frozen food.
• If keys are provided with the
refrigerator, the keys should
be kept out of the reach of
children and not be in the
vicinity of the appliance.
• The appliance might
not operate consistently
(possibility of defrosting of
contents or temperature
becoming too warm in the
frozen food compartment)
when sited for an extended
period of time below the
cold end of the range of
temperature for which the
refrigerating appliance is
designed.
• Do not store food which goes
bad easily at low temperature,
such as bananas, melons.
• Your appliance is frost free,
which means there is no
need to manually defrost
your appliance, as this will be
carried out automatically.
• Temperature rise during
defrosting can comply with
ISO requirements.
But if you want to prevent an
undue rise in the temperature
of the frozen food while
defrosting the appliance,
please wrap the frozen
food up in several layers of
newspaper.
• Any increase in temperature
of frozen food during
defrosting can shorten its
storage life.
• Do not re-freeze frozen foods
that have thawed completely.
• The temperature of two
star section (sections)
or compartment
(compartments) which have
two star symbol ( ) is
slightly higher than other
freezer compartment
(compartments).

Saving Energy Tips
- Install the appliance in a
cool, dry room with adequate
ventilation.
Ensure that it is not exposed
to direct sunlight and never
put it near a direct source of
heat (radiator, for example).
- Never block any vents or
grilles on the appliance.
- Allow warm food to cool
down before placing it in the
appliance.
- Put frozen food in the
refrigerator to thaw.
You can then use the low
temperatures of the frozen
products to cool food in the
refrigerator.
- Do not keep the door of
the appliance open for too
long when putting food in or
taking food out.
The shorter time for which
the door is open, the less ice
will form in the freezer.
- Allow clearance to the right,
left, back and top when
installing.
This will help reduce power
consumption and keep your
energy bills lower.
- For the most efficient use
of energy, please keep the
all inner fittings such as
baskets, drawers, shelves
on the position supplied by
manufacturer.
This appliance is intended
to be used in household and
similar applications such as
- staff kitchen areas in shops,
offices and other working
environments;
- farm houses and by clients
in hotels, motels and other
residential type environments;
- bed and breakfast type
environments;
- catering and similar non-retail
applications.
