DANGER: Risk of child entrapment.
Before you dispose of your old refrigerator please remove doors but leave the shelves in

place so that children cannot climb inside.

This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.

Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapour 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 earthed. Improper
connection of the earthing plug can cause electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician
or service engineer if the earthing instructions are not completely understood, or if you
have doubts as to whether the appliance is properly earthed.

Do not move refrigerator while the refrigerator is operating.
Compressor may occur a temporary rattling noise.
(This is normal and will not impact on the performance or the life of the compressor.
The rattling will stop after the refrigerator comes to a rest.)

It is advised that this appliance should be connected through an independent power
socket to prevent it and other appliances from overloading the circuit and causing a
power outage.

The appliance should be positioned so that the supply plug is easily accessible for quick
disconnection should an accident occur.

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.

Do not modify or extend the Power Cord length. It may cause electric shock or fire.
Connect the power plug in proper position with the cord hanging down.

- If you connect the power plug upside down, wire can get cut off and cause fire or
electric shock.

Make sure that the power plug is not squashed or damaged by the back of the
refrigerator.

ENGLISH

•

Keep ventilation openings in the room where the appliance is installed 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.

•

Disposal procedures. If disposing of this appliance, please consult with a service

agent or a similarly qualified person for more details.

•

Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with a flammable propellant

in this appliance.

•

Do not use aerosols near the refrigerator.

- Aerosols used near the refrigerator may cause an explosion or fire.

This appliance may contain (Check the rating/comliance label for the refriger-ant type
and amount. Applicable to some models only) 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 refriger-ant 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.
