Safety
Disposal of Old Appliance
DANGER!
Risk of child entrapment.
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past.
Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still dangerous – even if they will sit for “just a few days.”
If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please follow these instructions to help prevent accidents.
Before you discard old appliances:
•Take off the doors.
•Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.
•Cut off the power cable from the discarded appliance. Discard separately from the appliance.
•Be sure to follow your local requirements for disposal of appliances.
Contact the trash collection agency in your area for additional information.
Disposal of this appliance
This appliance contains flamable gases within the refrigeration circuit and insulation foam.
Contact the Municipality or Disposal Company in your area for information on approved recycling or disposal.
Disposal of Carton
The packaging is designed to protect the appliance and individual components during moving and is made of recyclable materials.
WARNING!
Keep packaging materials away from children. Polythene sheets and bags can cause suffocation!
Please recycle packaging material where facilities are available.
R600a Refrigerant
WARNING!
The refrigerant contained within the appliance R600a is environmentally friendly, but flammable. Leaking refrigerant can ignite.
To prevent possible ignition follow the warnings below:
• 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.
•Any repairs and work on the appliance should only be performed by the customer service department.
•Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the appliance, unless they are of the type recommended by the manufacturer.
Setting up
Avoid placing the appliance in direct sunlight or near the stove, range top, radiators and similar heat sources.
As soon as you uncrate the unit:
•Examine the unit and packaging for shipping damage. Contact the carrier immediately if you suspect there is any damage.
•Note the type (model number), index, appliance / serial number, date of purchase and where purchased on the spaces provided in the back of this manual.

Safety
Important Safety Information
•To prevent injury to you or damage to the unit, the appliance should be unpacked and set up by two people.
•If the appliance is damaged on delivery, contact the supplier immediately before connecting to the power source.
•To guarantee safe operation, ensure that the appliance is set up and connected as described in these operating instructions.
•Disconnect the appliance from the power source if a fault occurs. Pull out the plug, turn off or remove the fuse.
•When disconnecting the appliance, use the plug. Do not pull on the cable.
•Any repairs and work on the appliance should only be carried out by the customer service department. Unauthorized work may be dangerous to the user. Changing the power source cable should only be done by the customer service department.
•Do not eat ice cream, particularly ice cream treats, or ice cubes, immediately from the freezer compartment. There is a risk of “burning” because of the very cold temperatures.
•Do not consume food which has been stored for too long; it could cause food poisoning.
•Do not store explosives or sprays using combustible propellants such as butane, propane, pentane, etc. in the appliance.
Electrical components might cause leaking gas to ignite. You may identify such sprays by the printed contents or a flame symbol.
•Do not allow children to play with the appliance.
Children must not climb, sit or stand on the shelves, drawers or door.
•To prevent possible injury due to an electrical shock, be sure to disconnect the power cord or turn off the circuit breaker before cleaning the appliance.
•To avoid injury or damage to the appliance, do not use steam cleaning equipment to clean the appliance.
•Do not operate the refrigerator in the presence of explosive fumes.
•In the event of a power outage, minimize opening the refrigerator door(s). Protect the food either by placing dry ice on top of the packages or using a local frozen food locker if the power failure is of a long duration. Do not attempt to re-freeze any previously frozen food that has thawed.
