4 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE.

This guide contains many important safety messages. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol. It alerts you to safety messages that inform you of hazards that can kill or hurt you or others, or cause damage to the product.

All safety messages will be preceded by the safety alert symbol and the hazard signal word WARNING or CAUTION. These words mean:

WARNING You can be killed or seriously injured if you do not follow instructions.

CAUTION Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which,

if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury, or product damage.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury when using your product, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following.

••Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the builtin 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 5

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE.

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury when using your product, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following.

••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.

••Use non-flammable cleaner. Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death. Always remove power cord from the wall outlet prior to cleaning in the vicinity of electrical parts (lamps, switches, covers, controls, etc.).

••Wipe up excess moisture with a sponge or cloth to prevent water or Liquid from getting into any electrical part and causing an electric shock.

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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 11

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE.

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury when using your product, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following.

••If you are throwing away your old fridge, make sure the CFC coolant is removed for proper disposal by a qualified servicer. If you release CFC coolant, you may be fined or imprisoned in accordance with the relevant environmental law.

••Disposed or abandoned fridges are dangerous, even if they are sitting for only a few days. When disposing the fridge, remove the packing materials from the door or take off the doors but leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

••If the refrigerant gas has leaked, do not touch the fridge or the power outlet and ventilate the room immediately. A spark could trigger an explosion causing a fire or burns. Because this fridge uses natural gas (isobutene, R600a) as the environment-friendly refrigerant, even a small amount (50~60g) is combustible. If gas leaks from severe damage during delivering, installing or using the fridge, any spark may cause fire or burns.

CAUTION

Installation

••The fridge must be properly installed in accordance with the Installer Instructions that were taped to the front of the fridge.

••Be careful when you unpack and install the fridge. Immediately dispose of packing materials (plastic) out of reach of children.

SUGGESTION FOR ENERGY SAVING

•• Please do not keep the door open for a long time, close door in the shortest time.

•• Too much food are not advised to be put in. Enough space should be kept for cool air circulating freely.

•• Do not set the temperature of fridge lower than needed. Do not put the food near the temperature sensor.

•• 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.

•• 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.
