Safety Precautions
.J
Before using your refrigerator/freezer, read the safety precautions below and the instructions in
the rest of the manual. Keep the Instruction Manual in a handy place for future reference and
remember to hand it over to the subsequent owner, if you ever sell the appliance.
DO NOT use the
refrigerator/freezer if it is faulty or
damaged. Unplug it from the
power supply and call your local
service centre.
If the power cord is damaged,
have it replaced by the manu
facturer, an approved service
centre or a qualified electrician.
DO NOT allow children to:
♦ Play in or around the
refrigerator/freezer
♦ Hang on the refrigerator door
Children may be injured and the
appliance may be damaged.
DO NOT expose the refrigerator/
freezer to direct sunlight.
DO NOT install it next to a
source of heat (oven, radiator).
If you must install the
refrigerator/freezer near a source
of heat, ensure that there is
sufficient insulation between the
two appliances.
To maintain the efficiency of your
refrigerator/freezer, DO NOT leave
the doors open for any longer than
necessary.
Make sure that the doors are
carefully pushed closed at all times.
DO NOT allow water to splash or
run on to the back of the
refrigerator/freezer.
Water impairs the insulation of the
electrical parts and may cause an
electric short circuit or risk of
electric shock.
DO NOT store volatile chemicals,
such as ether and benzene, in
the refrigerator/freezer. Besides
damaging the food, the fumes
can build up and cause an
explosion.
DO NOT use flammable sprays,
such as lacquer or paint, near
the refrigerator/freezer.

♦ Preserve the taste of the food
♦ Prolong the freshness
The accessories inside your refrigerator/freezer can be placed in the positions that
best suit your requirements and the food to be stored. The specially large
compartments in the bottom of the door are very practical when chilling bottles of
drinks for example.
Choosing Where to Install Your Refrigerator/Freezer
Various factors must be taken into account when choosing where to install your refrigerator/freezer.
Install the refrigerator/freezer on
a stable, flat surface. Adjust the
feet if necessary, referring to
page 8 for further details.

your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced
with a properly grounded outlet, or use a different power point.
If the power cord is damaged :
♦ Immediately unplug it from the wall outlet
♦ Have it repaired by a qualified electrician
Preparing Your Refrigeratcr/Freezer for Use
