label inside the fridge to see
which refrigerant is used for
your refrigerator. When this
product contains flammable
gas (Refrigerant R-600a),
contact your local 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.
• To avoid contamination of
food, please respect the
following instructions:
- Opening the door for long
periods can cause a significant
increase of the temperature
in the compartments of the
appliance.
- Clean regularly surfaces that
can come in contact with
food and accessible drainage
systems.
- Clean water tanks if they
have not been used for 48
h; flush the water system

sudden temperature changes
or impacts such as bumping or
dropping.
ADDITIONAL TIPS
FOR PROPER USAGE
• In the event of a power
failure, call the local oce of
your Electriciy Company and
ask how long it is going to
last.
- Most power failures that are
corrected in an hour or two
will not aect your refrigerator
temperatures.
However, you should
minimize the number of door
openings while the power is
o.
- But Should the power failure
last more than 24 hours,
remove all frozen food.
• If the key is provided with
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 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
temperatures 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.
• Do not re-freeze frozen
foods that have thawed
completely. Any increase in
temperature of frozen food
during defrosting can shorten
its storage life.
• Contains fluorinated
greenhouse gases covered
by the Kyoto Protocol.

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 su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 ecient 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
- sta kitchen areas in shops,
oces 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.
