SAFETY INFORMATION
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.
-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 temperature
becoming too warm in the
refrigerator) 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
spoils 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.
• Contains fluorinated
greenhouse gases covered
by the Kyoto Protocol.
• Foam blown with fluorinated

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.
-Clean the rear of the
refrigerator regularly.
Dust increases energy
consumption.
-Do not set temperature
colder than necessary.
-Ensure sufficient air exhaust
at the refrigerator base
and at the back wall of the
refrigerator.
Do not cover air vent
openings.
-Allow clearance to the right,
left, 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.
