• Warnings and Important Safety
Instructions in this manual do not cover
all possible conditions and situations
that may occur.
It is your responsibility to use common
sense, caution, and care when installing,

Safety information /
• 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 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
identication 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 ames and
move anything ammable away from
the product and ventilate the room
immediately.
- Failing to do so may result in re or
explosion.

by the manufacturer or its service
agents.
• 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.
• To get the best energy efciency of
this product, please leave all shelves,
drawers and baskets on their original
position.
How to minimize the energy
consumption
• 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).
- Not to block any vents or grilles is
recommended for energy efciency.
- 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.
• We recommend the value of clearance
to be :
- Right, left, and back side: more than
50 mm
- Top side: more than 100 mm
This appliance is intended to be
used in household and similar
applications such as

Safety information /
- 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.
- Should the power failure last more
than 24 hours, remove and discard
all frozen food."
• The refrigerator might not operate
consistently (frozen contents can
thaw or temperatures can become too
warm in the frozen food compartment)
if sited for an extended period of
time in a location where ambient air
temperatures are constantly above the
temperatures for which the appliance is
designed.
• In case of particular foods, keeping
it under refrigeration can have a
bad effect on preservation due to its
properties.
• Temperature rise during defrosting
complies with ISO requirements. If you
want to prevent an undue rise in the
temperature of frozen food while the
appliance defrosts, wrap the frozen food
in several layers of newspaper.
• Do not re-freeze frozen foods that have
thawed completely.
• The temperature of two star
section (sections) or compartment
(compartments) which have two
star symbol ( ) is slightly higher
than other freezer compartment
(compartments). The two star
section (sections) or compartment
(compartments) is (are) based on the
instruction and/or the condition as
delivered.
