Warning
ww
Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear of obstruction.
ww
Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
ww
Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
ww
Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the appliance, unless they are of the type recommended by the manufacturer.
ww
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 1m 2 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
ww
Caution
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.
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.
Do not store pharmaceutical products, scientific materials or other temperature sensitive products in the refrigerator. Products that require strict temperature controls must not be stored in the refrigerator.
