6 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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.

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.

Use

•• Close the doors carefully when children are around.

•• Keep fingers out of pinch point areas; clearances between the doors and cabinets are necessarily small. Be careful closing doors when children are in the area.

•• If food is stacked or stored poorly on the shelves, it may fall and cause injury when the door is opened.

•• Do not move fridge while the fridge is operating. A Compressor rattling noise may occur as a result and will only stop when the compressor cycles off, or when the power to the unit is turned off and back on again. (This is normal and will not impact on the performance or the life of the compressor. The rattling will stop after the compressor comes to a rest.)

•• Do not place glass containers, bottles or cans (especially those containing carbonated drinks) in the freezer compartment, shelves or ice bin that will be exposed to temperatures below freezing.

Maintenance

•• Do not use strong detergents like wax or thinners for cleaning. Clean with a soft fabric.

•• Wipe foreign objects (dust, water, etc) off the prongs of the power plug and contact areas before connecting.

WARNING

•• Use drinkable water for ice making.

WARNING

•• 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.

•• 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.

•• The automatic defrosting system in the appliance ensures that the compartment remains free of ice buildup under normal operating conditions.

10 INSTALLATION

Unpacking Your Fridge

WARNING

••Use two or more people to move and install the fridge. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

••Your fridge is heavy. When moving the fridge for cleaning or service, be sure to protect the floor. Always pull the fridge straight

out when moving it. Do not wiggle or walk the fridge when trying to move it, as floor damage could occur. Wind the leveling feet up first so that the unit is on its rollers.

••Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from the fridge. Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.

Remove tape and any temporary labels from your fridge before using. Do not remove any warningtype labels, the model and serial number label, or the Tech Sheet that is located under the front of the fridge.

To remove any remaining tape or glue, rub the area briskly with your thumb. Tape or glue residue can also be easily removed by rubbing a small amount of liquid dish soap over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with warm water and dry.

Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These products can damage the surface of your fridge.

Fridge shelves are installed in the shipping position. Please reinstall shelves according to your individual storage needs.

Choosing the Proper Location

•• The fridge should always be plugged into its own individual properly grounded

electrical outlet rated for 230 Volts, 50 Hz, AC only, and fused at 15 or 20 amperes. This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.

•• After installing the appliance, connect the power plug into a socket outlet. Before moving and discarding the appliance, disconnect the plug from the socket outlet.

Warning

To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not install the fridge in a wet or damp area. do not install in any outdoor or sheltered outdoor location or direct sunlight.

Flooring

To avoid noise and vibration, the unit must be leveled and installed on a solidly constructed floor. If required, adjust the leveling legs to compensate for unevenness of the floor. The front should be slightly higher than the rear to aid in door closing. Leveling legs can be turned easily by tipping the cabinet slightly. Turn the leveling legs to the left to raise the unit or to the right to lower it. Poorly constructed timber flooring can cause a limit in door adjustment and the cabinet to become out of shape. (See Leveling and door AlIgnment.)

Note

Installing on carpeting, soft tile surfaces, a platform or weakly supported structure is not recommended.

Storing Frozen Food

Note

Check a freezer food guide or a reliable cookbook for further information about preparing food for freezing or food storage times.

Freezing

Your freezer will not quick-freeze a large quantity of food. Do not put more unfrozen food into the freezer than will freeze within 24 hours (no more than 1 to 1.5kg. of food per cubic foot of freezer space). Leave enough space in the freezer for air to circulate around packages. Be careful to leave enough room at the front so the door can close tightly.

Storage times will vary according to the quality and type of food, the type of packaging or wrap used (how airtight and moisture-proof) and

the storage temperature. Ice crystals inside a sealed package are normal. This simply means that moisture in the food and air inside the package have condensed, creating ice crystals.

Note

Allow hot foods to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then package and freeze. Cooling hot foods before freezing saves energy.

Note

Never freeze beverage cans or bottles of any kind as they can explode or shatter.

<![if ! IE]>

<![endif]>ENGLISH

20 HOW TO USE

Storing Frozen Food (continued)

Packaging

Successful freezing depends on correct packaging. When you close and seal the package, it must not allow air or moisture in or out. If it does, you could have food odor and taste transfer throughout the fridge and could also dry out frozen food.

Packaging recommendations:

•• Rigid plastic containers with tight-fitting lids

•• Straight-sided canning/freezing jars

•• Heavy-duty aluminum foil

•• Plastic-coated paper

•• Non-permeable plastic wraps

•• Specified freezer-grade self-sealing plastic bags

Follow package or container instructions for proper freezing methods.

Do not use

•• Bread wrappers

•• Non-polyethylene plastic containers

•• Containers without tight lids

•• Wax paper or wax-coated freezer wrap

•• Thin, semi-permeable wrap

Adjusting the Fridge Shelves

The shelves in your fridge are adjustable to meet your individual storage needs. Your model may have either glass or wire shelves.

Adjusting the shelves to fit different heights of items will make finding the exact item you want easier. Doing so will also reduce the amount of time the fridge door is open which will save energy.

Detaching the Shelf

Tilt up the front of the shelf and lift it straight up. Pull the shelf out.

Refitting the Shelf

Tilt the front of the shelf up and guide the shelf hooks into the slots at the desired height. Then, lower the front of the shelf so that the hooks drop into the slots.

Caution

Make sure that shelves are level from one side to the other. Failure to do so may result in the shelf falling or spilling food.

HOW TO USE 21

Using the Folding Shelf

When Closing the Door
