pointed object. You could damage the
refrigerant tubes. Leaking refrigerant
may ignite or cause eye injuries.
1. Pull out mains plug.
2. Place the freezer drawers containing the
food in a cool location.
3. Open condensation outlet.
4. Place the empty container under the open
condensation outlet.
5. When the freezer compartment has defrosted,
pour the water out of the freezer drawer. Wipe
any remaining water off the bottom of the
freezer compartment with a sponge.

the appliance or the rating label inside the
refrigerator to see which refrigerant is used for
your refrigerator. When this product contains
flammable gas (Refrigerant R600a), contact your
local authority in regard to safe disposal of this
product. Cyclopentane is used as an insulation
blowing gas. The gases in insulation material
require special disposal procedure. Please
contact your local authorities in regard to the
environmentally safe disposal of this product.
Ensure that none of the pipes on the back of the
appliances are damaged prior to disposal. The
pipes shall be broken in the open space.

• If the appliance contains iso-butane refrigerant
(R600a), a natural gas with high environmental
compatibility that is, however, also combustible.
When transporting and installing the appliance,
care should be taken to ensure that no parts of
the refrigerating circuit are damaged.
• When disposing of this product or other
refrigerators, remove the door/door seals,
door latch so that small children or animals
cannot become trapped inside. Leave the
shelves in place so that children may not
easily climb inside. Children should be
supervised to ensure that they do not play
with the old appliance.
•
Please dispose of the packaging material for this
product in an environmentally friendly manner.
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 foods.
• 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.
• 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.
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, back and top
when installing.
This will help reduce power consumption and
keep your energy bills lower.
