refrigerator
• In case of R600a refrigerant, this gas is 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.
• Refrigerant squirting out of the pipes could ignite
or cause an eye injury. If a leak is detected, avoid
any naked flames 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 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.

CAUTION

_11
safety information
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 in 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 24hours, remove
all frozen food.
For doors or lids fitted with locks and keys, the keys be kept
out of the reach of
children and not in the vicinity of the refrigerating appliance,
in order to prevent
children from being locked inside.
There is protective film on the surface of some refrigerator
models, which is
used to protect the refrigerator from scratches during

ADDITIONAL TIPS FOR PROPER USAGE
• Allow the appliance to stand for 2hours after installation.
• To get best performance of product,
- Do not place foods too closely in front of the vents
at the rear of the appliance as it can obstruct free air
circulation in the freezer compartment.
- Wrap the food up properly or place it in airtight
containers before put it into the fridge freezer
- Do not put any newly introduced food for freezing near
to already frozen food.
• Please observe maximum storage times and expiry
dates of frozen goods.
• There is no need to disconnect the refrigerator from
the power supply if you will be away for less than three
weeks. But, remove all the food if you are going away
for the three weeks or more. Unplug the refrigerator and
clean it, rinse and dry.
• Most power failures that are corrected in 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 24hours, remove all frozen food.
• Do not store food which goes bad easily at low
temperature, such as bananas, melons.
• Place the ice tray at the originally provided posistion by
manufacturer in order to achieve optimal ice-freezing.
• Your refrigerator is frost-free, so you are no need
to defrost manually and the refrigerator will do so
automatically.
• Temperature rising during the defrost can comply with
relevant national requirement. But If you want to prevent
an undue rise in the temperature of the frozen food

_13safety information
while defrosting the appliance, please wrap the frozen food
in several layers of paper such as 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.
