1. When connecting the power

The dedicated outlet should be used.

• Using several devices at one outlet may cause fire.

• The electric leakage breaker may damage food and the dispenser may be leaked.

Do not allow the power plug to face upward or to be squeezed at the back of the fridge-freezer.

Water may be flown into or the plug may be damaged, which causes fire or electric shock.

Do not allow the power cord bent or pressed by the heavy object to be damaged.

It may damage the power cord to cause fire or electric shock.

Do not extend or modify the length of the power plug.

It causes electric shock or fire by the electric damage of the power cord or others.

Unplug the power plug when cleaning, handling or replacing the interior lamp of the fridge-freezer.

• It may cause electric shock or injury.

• When replacing the interior lamp of

the fridge-freezer, make sure that the rubber ring for preventing the electric

5 spark within the socket is not taken off.

Introduction

Important Safety Instruction

Do not pull out the cord or touch the power plug with wet hands.

• It may cause electric shock or injury.

Remove water or dust from the power plug and insert it with the ends of the pins securely connected.

Dust, water or unstable connection may fire or electric shock.

Make sure of grounding.

The incorrect grounding may cause breakdown and electric shock.

When the power cord or the power plug is damaged or the holes of the outlet are loosed, do not use them.

It may cause electric shock or short circuit to make fire.

2. When using the fridge-freezer

Do not place the heavy object or the dangerous object (container with liquid) on the fridge-freezer.

It may be dropped to cause injury, fire or electric shock when opening or closing the door.

Do not cling to the door or the shelves of the door or the home bar of the freezer or the cool chamber.

It may make the fridge-freezer fallen down or damage the hands. Especially, do not allow the children to do the above.

6

Introduction

Important Safety Instruction

Do not install the fridge-freezer in the wet place or the place which water or rain splashes.

It may cause electric shock or fire.

When gas is leaked, do not touch the fridge-freezer or the outlet and ventilate the room immediately.

• The explosion by spark may cause

fire or burn.

• Because this fridge-freezer uses natural gas (isobutene, R600a) as the environment-friendly refrigerant, even a small amount

(80~90g) is combustible. When the gas is leaked by the severe damage during delivering, installing or using the fridge-freezer, any spark may cause fire or burn.

Grounding

(Earthing)

Introduction

Important Safety Instruction

•Do not disassemble, repair or alter the appliance.

It may cause fire or abnormal operations, which may lead to injury.

•Pull the power plug out of the socket before replacing the interior light in the refrigerator.

Otherwise, there is a risk of electric shock.

It will cause electric shock or fire.

If possible, connect the fridge-freezer to its own individual electrical outlet to prevent it and other appliances or household lights from causing an overload.

The supply plug of the refrigerator-freezer should be placed in easy accessible position for quick disconnection in emergency.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

Risk of child entrapment.

Before you throw away your old refrigerator or freezer: Take off the doors.

Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

Don't store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

In the event of an electric short circuit, grounding (earthing) reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. In order to prevent possible electric shock, this appliance must be grounded. Improper use of the grounding plug can result in an electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or service person if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if you have doubts on whether the appliance is properly grounded.

13

Introduction

Important Safety Instruction

Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear of obstruction.

Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.

Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.

Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the appliance, unless they are of the type recommended by the manufacturer. The refrigerant and insulation blowing gas used in the appliance require special disposal procedures. When disposal, please consult with service agent or a similarly qualified person.

This appliance contains a small amount of isobutane refrigerant (R600a), natural gas with high environmental compatibility, but it is 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. The room must be 1m2 in size for every 8g of R600a refrigerant inside the appliance. The amount of refrigerant in your particular appliance is shown on the identification plate inside the appliance.

Never start up an appliance showing any signs of damage. If in doubt, consult your dealer.

Suggestions on food storage

						Storing Food
Storing Food						• Do not store food which goes bad easily at low
						temperature, such as banana, and melon.
						• Allow hot food to cool prior to storing. Placing hot
						food in the fridge-freezer could spoil other food, and
						lead to higher electric bills.
						• When storing the food, use a container with a lid. This
						prevents moisture from evaporating, and helps food to
						keep its taste and nutrients.
						• Do not block air vents with food. Smooth circulation of
						cold air keeps fridge-freezer temperature even.
						• Do not open the door frequently. Opening the door
						lets warm air enter the fridge-freezer, and cause
						temperature to rise.
						• To adjust the temperature control easily, do not store
						food near the temperature control dial.
						• Never keep too many foods in door rack, as this may
						stop the door from fully closing.
						• Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment - they
						may break when frozen.
						• Do not refreeze food that has been thawed. This
						causes loss of taste and nutrition.
		Note				If you keep the fridge-freezer in a hot, and humid
						place, frequently open its door or put a lot of
						vegetables in it, dew may form in it, which has no
						effect on its performance.
						Remove the dew with dust cloth free from care.

24

Care and Maintenance

General Information

Power Failure • 1~2 hour power failure does no harm to the foods stores. Try to avoid opening and closing the door too frequently.

If You Move • Take out foods from the fridge-freezer and firmly fix the loose items with tape.

•Turn the leveling screws until they stop before moving the fridge-freezer. Otherwise the screw may scratch the floor or the fridge-freezer cannot move.

Anti	• The Anti-Condensation	Anti-Condensation
Condensation	pipe is installed around the			Pipe
Pipe	front side of fridge-freezer
	as well as on the partition
	between fridge
	compartment and freezer
	compartment to prevent
	dewing.
	• Especially after installation
	or when ambient
	temperature is high, the fridge-freezer may feel hot,
	which is quite normal.

Lamp Replacement

1.Unplug the power cord from the outlet.

2. Remove fridge shelves.

3. To remove the lamp cover, insert type driver in the underside of

the lamp cover and pull it out forwards.

4.Turn the lamp counterclockwise.

5.Assemble in reverse order of disassembly.

Replacement lamp must be the same specification as original.

•You must check the O-RING, which is made by rubber and prevent electric spark.

25

Care and Maintenance

Cleaning

Before Cleaning Be sure to unplug the power.
