Caring for the environment

Disposing of the packaging

Please recycle where possible (e.g. cardboard, plastic bags, adhesive tape and polystyrene) and make sure you dispose of all other packing materials safely.

Keep the packaging out of the reach of babies and young children, to avoid injury or suffocation.

Before disposing of your old appliance

Please follow either the disposal instructions from the manufacturer of the old appliance, or local disposal regulations for the appliance. Where this is not available, please follow the three step instructions below.

1. Remove the plug from the socket.

2. Cut the supply cord off, and safely dispose of it with the mains plug still attached.

3. Until the old appliance is collected, or you take it to a Recycling Centre, make sure it’s out the reach of small children.

● Remove all sealing materials from the door and leave all the shelves and drawers in place.

This way, children are less likely to climb in and become trapped.

Do not pinch, knot, or bend the supply cord, or place heavy objects on it.

Do not unplug the refrigerator by pulling on the supply cord.

Indicates the appliance must be earthed to prevent electric shock

Indicates risk of death or serious injury.

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.

● This can cause overheating, re or short circuit.

● This increases the risk of re or electric shock. If the supply cord or plug of the appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualied person in order to avoid a hazard.

● This can damage to the supply cord. Always grip the plug and pull rmly from the socket.

English

Do not place any water container on the top of the refrigerator.

● Water can damage insulation of electrical components and cause short circuit, re or electric shock.

Do not spray inammable gas near the refrigerator.

● This can cause explosion or re.

Do not spray water onto or into the refrigerator.

● This can cause re or electric shock.

Do not touch the power plug with wet hands.

● This can cause electric shock.

Do not install the refrigerator in a damp place, or where it may come into contact with water.

● Deteriorated insulation of electrical parts can cause short circuit, electric shock or re.

Do not store volatile or ammable substances in the refrigerator.

● Flammable substances such as benzene, thinners, alcohol, ether and Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) can cause explosions.

Do not store pharmaceuticals or other temperature-sensitive products in the refrigerator.

● You should not store products that require strict temperature controls in the refrigerator.

Introduction

Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the appliance, unless they are of the type recommended by the manufacturer.

Do not touch the crusher blades of the icebox. Do not poke your ngers into the hole where the ice is dispensed from the Ice/Water dispenser.

Do not try to disassemble, repair or modify the refrigerator yourself.

Ensure that the refrigerator is plugged into an earthed mains socket. DO NOT plug into an unearthed mains socket.

Make sure the supply cord and plug are not squashed or damaged.

● Failure to do this may result in an injury to yourself.

● You may injure yourself – or others – with burns or electric shock, or damage the refrigerator. If your appliance needs alterations or repair, please consult authorized service centre.

● A damaged power plug or cord can cause short-circuit, re or electric shock.

● If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualied persons in order to avoid a hazard.

● DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPLACE IT YOURSELF.

Remove any dirt or dust from the plug’s pins before connecting to the power supply.

● Dust build-up on the plug can cause insulation failure, especially in humid conditions. This can cause short circuit, re or electric shock. Unplug the supply cord and wipe it with a dry cloth. Never use a wet or damp cloth.

Plug your appliance into the socket, making sure the connection is secure.

● A loosely connected power plug can cause re or electric shock.

Install the refrigerator in a well-ventilated area.

● The more refrigerant there is in an appliance, the larger the room it should be installed in. If there’s a refrigerant uid leak, and the appliance is in a small room, the build up of combustible gases is more likely. This can cause re or explosion. As a guide, for every 8 g of coolant, you’ll need at least 1 cubic metre of space in the room. The data plate inside the appliance tells you how much refrigerant your refrigerator contains.

● Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear of obstruction.

The refrigerant (R600a) used in the refrigerator and the gases in the insulation material (cyclopentane) are both ammable. They also require special disposal procedures.

● Before you dispose of the appliance, make sure none of the pipes on the back are damaged. Refrigerant or gas leaks can cause re or explosion.

● Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.

Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and servicing.

Installation

Choosing the right location

Install the refrigerator in a location which satises the following criteria:

● Where there is a main water supply line nearby

● Where the refrigerator will not be exposed to direct sunlight

● Where the refrigerator will be at a distance from heating appliances, cooking appliances and other sources of heat

● A location which is well-ventilated and dry

● Where the oor is sturdy and level

Place a solid board underneath if the refrigerator is to be installed on top of a carpet or vinyl oor. The board will protect the oor from becoming deformed and discoloured.

Provide clearance to allow heat to dissipate

Residual heat is always being emitted from the refrigerator while it is operating. Provide sufcient clearance around the refrigerator to allow this heat to dissipate so that its cooling ability is not impaired.
