injury.
If a leak is detected, avoid any naked ames 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 ammable 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 where the refrigerator will be
sited must be 1 m³ in size for every 8 g of R-600a refrigerant inside the

Additional tips for proper usage
NOTE
• In the event of a power failure, call the local ofce 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 2 hours, remove all ice in the Ice
Bucket.
- 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 in vicinity of the appliance.
• The appliance might not operate consistently (possibility of temperature
becoming too warm in 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 rising during the defrost can comply with ISO requirement.
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
in several layers of newspaper.
• Any increase in temperature of frozen food during defrosting can
shorten its storage life.
• 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.
- Clean the rear of the refrigerator regularly. Dust increases energy
consumption.
- Do not set temperature colder than necessary.
- Ensure sufcient 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, back and top when installing.
This will help reduce power consumption and keep your energy bills
lower.
- For the most efcient use of energy, please keep the all inner
ttings such as baskets, drawers, shelves on the position supplied by
manufacturer.
