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.

sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given WARNING 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 use a multiple socket adaptor and plug several appliances into the same socket adaptor.

●●This can cause overheating, fire or short circuit.

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

●●This increases the risk of fire 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 qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

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

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

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 fingers into the hole where the ice is dispensed from the Ice/Water dispenser.

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

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

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.

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

●●If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified 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, fire 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 fire 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 fluid leak, and the appliance is in a small room, the build up of combustible gases is more likely. This can cause fire 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 flammable. 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 fire or explosion.

●●Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.

Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and servicing.

●●Failure to do this can cause electric shock.

If you smell burning or see smoke coming from the refrigerator, disconnect the power immediately and please consult authorized service centre.

Connect potable water supply only.

The new hose – sets supplied with the appliance are to be used and that old hose – sets should not be reused.

The ice maker in refrigerator must be installed only by the manufacture or its service agent except ice storage box.
