SAFETY WARNINGS
1.2 Meaning of safety warning symbols
This manual contains lots of important safety information which shall be observed by
the users.
1.3 ELECTRICITY RELATED WARNINGS
• Do not pull the power cord when pulling the power plug of the
refrigerator. Please firmly grasp the plug and pull out it from the
socket directly.
• To ensure safe use, do not damage the power cord or use the
power cord when it is damaged or worn.
• Please use a dedicated power socket and the power socket shall
not be shared with other electrical appliances.the power plug should
be firmly contacted with the socket or else fires might be caused.
• Please ensure that the grounding electrode of the power socket is
equipped with a reliable grounding line.
• Please turn off the valve of the leaking gas and then open the doors
and windows in case of leakage of gas and other flammable gases.
Do not unplug the refrigerator and other electrical appliances
considering that spark may cause a fire.
• Do not use electrical appliances on the top of the appliance,
unless they are of the type recommended by the manufacturer.

SAFETY WARNINGS
• Do not arbitrarily disassemble or reconstruct the refrigerator, nor damage
the refrigerant circuit; maintenance of the appliance must be conducted by a
specialist.
• Damaged power cord must be replaced by the manufacturer, its maintenance
department or related professionals in order to avoid danger.
• The gaps between refrigerator doors and between doors and refrigerator body
are small, be noted not to put your hand in these areas to prevent from
squeezing the finger. Please be gentle when close the refrigerator door to avoid
falling articles.
• Do not pick foods or containers with wet hands in the freezing chamber when
the refrigerator is running, especially metal containers in order to avoid
frostbite.
• Do not allow any child to get into or climb the refrigerator; otherwise
suffocation or falling injury of the child may be caused.
• Do not place heavy objects on the top of the refrigerator considering that
objects may fall when close or open the door, and accidental injuries might be
caused.
• Please pull out the plug in case of power failure or cleaning. Do not
connect the freezer to power supply within five minutes to prevent
damages to the compressor due to successive starts.
1.5 WARNINGS FOR PLACEMENT OF ITEMS
• Do not put flammable, explosive, volatile and highly corrosive items in the
refrigerator to prevent damages to the product or fire accidents.
• Do not place flammable items near the refrigerator to avoid fires.
• The refrigerator is intended for household use, such as storage of foods; it
shall not be used for other purposes, such as storage of blood, drugs or
biological products, etc.

SAFETY WARNINGS
• Do not store beer, beverage or other fluid contained in bottles or enclosed
containers in the freezing chamber of the refrigerator; or otherwise the bot-
tles or enclosed containers may crack due to freezing to cause damages.
1.6 WARNINGS FOR ENERGY
Warning for energy
1) Refrigerating appliances 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.
2) The fact that effervescent drinks should not be stored in food freezer compartments or cabinets or in
low-temperature compartments or cabinets, and that some products such as water ices should not be
consumed too cold;
3) The need to not exceed the storage time(s) recommended by the food manufacturers for any kind of
food and particularly for commercially quick-frozen food in food-freezer and frozen-food storage
compartments or cabinets;
4) The precautions necessary to prevent an undue rise in the temperature of the frozen food while
defrosting the refrigerating appliance, such as wrapping the frozen food in several layers of newspaper.
5) The fact that a rise in temperature of the frozen food during manual defrosting, maintenance or
cleaning could shorten the storage life.
6) The necessity that, 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.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances or
heating ducts, and out of the direct sunlight. Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the
appliance. Overloading the appliance forces the compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly
may lose quality, or spoil. Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in
the appliance. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the appliance. Appliance storage bin should not be
lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making
the appliance less efficient. Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches.
Remove as many items as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible.
1.7 WARNINGS FOR DISPOSAL
Refrigerant and cyclopentane foaming material used for the refrigerator are flammable. Therefore, when
the refrigerator is scrapped, it shall be kept away from any fire source and be recovered by a special
recovering company with corresponding qualification other than be disposed by combustion, so as to
prevent damage to the environment or any other harm.

be flat, and sturdy (rotate left or right to adjust the wheel for levelling if
unstable).
• The top space of the refrigerator shall be greater than 30cm, and the refrig-
erator should be placed against a wall with a free distance more than10cm to
facilitate the heat dissipation.
