y
the front of the fridge.
Be careful when you unpack and install the fridge. Immediately dispose of packing materials (plastic)
y
out of reach of children.
Use
Close the doors carefully when children are around.
y
Keep fingers out of pinch point areas; clearances between the doors and cabinets are necessarily
y
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.
y
Do not move fridge while the fridge is operating. A Compressor rattling noise may occur as a result
y
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.)

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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
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.
WARNING
Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear of obstruction.
y
Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process, other than those
y
recommended by the manufacturer.
Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
y
Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the appliance, unless they
y
are of the type recommended by the manufacturer.
The refrigerant and insulation blowing gas used in the appliance require special disposal procedures.
y
When disposal, please consult with service agent or a similarly qualified person.
WARNING
Use drinkable water for ice making.

INSTALLATION
ENGLISH
Choosing the Proper Location
Select a place where a water supply can be
y
easily connected for the automatic icemaker.
The fridge should always be plugged
y
into its own individual properly grounded
electrical outlet rated for 220 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.
Unpacking Your Fridge
WARNING
Use two or more people to move and install
y
the fridge. Failure to do so can result in back
or other injury.
Your fridge is heavy. When moving the fridge
y
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
y
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.
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.
NOTE
The water pressure must be 20 – 120 psi
or 138 – 827 kPa. If the fridge is installed
in an area with low water pressure (below
20 psi), you can install a booster pump to
compensate for the low pressure.
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.
