Refrigerant Gas Information
IMPORTANT: This appliance is provided with refrigerant
gas, ISOBUTHANE (R600a). When moving the appliance
take care to ensure that it is not excessively struck or
shaken. Failure to do so could damage the appliance.
Damage to the refrigerating circuit, with possible leaking of
refrigerating gas, could create a risk of explosion caused by
external sparks or ames.
In the Event of Accidental Leakage
Allow the material to evaporate providing that adequate
ventilation is provided.
Behaviour of the Gas
This refrigerant gas is highly ammable so do not allow the
gas to come into contact with hot surfaces or naked ames.
Gas R600a is heavier than air: if released it forms a high
concentration at oor level where ventilation is poor.
First Aid
Inhalation
Take the exposed person from the polluted area and carry
them to a warm, well ventilated place.
Long exposure can cause the onset of asphyxia and
possible loss of consciousness. If necessary, practice articial
respiration, and in the most serious cases, administer oxygen
under close medical supervision.
Skin Contact
It is unlikely that occasional contact with the skin is
dangerous. If this should happen thoroughly wash the
aected zone.
Liquid splashes and atomised liquid can cause freezing burns.
Wash the aected part with plenty of water and call a doctor
to treat any burns.
Eye Contact
Wash with plenty of water, with eyelids well open, and call a
specialist doctor as soon as possible.
In any event, should you inhale or come into contact with
R600a gas, we advise you to consult your own doctor.

About the Fresh Food Compartment
It is recommended to leave storage space between the
foods for good cold air circulation. The temperatures in the
refrigerator are slightly warmer near the top and colder near
the base. Suggestions for storage (Fig.2.2):
1. Eggs, butter, cheese, etc.
2. Tins, cans, condiments, etc.
3. Drinks and all kinds of bottled foods.
4. Pickled foods, drinks or cans.
5. Meat, poultry, sh and raw foods.
6. Flour foods, cans, dairy, etc.
7. Cooked meats, sausage, etc.
8. Fruits, vegetables or salads.
Shelves
The height of the shelves can be adjusted to t your storage
needs.
The shelves will not pull out accidentally when you remove
foodstu from the appliance.
When adjusting the height of the shelf, rst remove any
food placed on the shelf. Tilt the front upwards so that the
restraining pegs are clear of the side guides (Fig.2.3) and pull
towards you. Keep the shelf tilted to allow the retaining stops
to clear the side guides.
When repositioning, make sure the shelf is pushed back fully
and the retaining stops have located securely.
Make sure that the two sides of the shelf are in level
positions otherwise food may drop o.
Crisper
The refrigerator has two drawers for storing fruits, vegetables
and/or deli products.
Removing the Crisper Drawers and Shelf
To remove one of the crisper drawers, pull it out fully and lift
it o the glide-out runners (Fig.2.4). The drawer will ‘pop’ out
of the runner.
To avoid accidents, make sure to push the runners
fully back.
To ret one of the drawers, pull the runners fully out. Locate
the rear drawer tabs to the rear of the runner. Extend the
runners further using the small grips and then locate the
drawer back into the runner tabs (Fig.2.5).
To remove the crisper cover lift up the shelf, then pull it
straight out in the direction shown (Fig.2.6).

Full Width Pantry with Humidity Control
The refrigerator is specially designed to include a full
width pantry with humidity control which can be adjusted
depending on the type of food to be stored.
Slide the humidity control (Fig.2.7) to the right to increase
the humidity inside. In doing this, the crisper is suitable for
storing cucumbers, grapes, oranges, apples, peaches, lettuce
and other produce with a high moisture content.
Slide the humidity control (Fig.2.7) to the left to reduce the
humidity inside. This is suitable for storing meats, cheeses,
onions and other drier foods.
Bottle Rack Height Adjustment
Hold both sides of the bottle rack then lift and pull it straight
out for cleaning or to change location (Fig.2.8).
After cleaning, the bottle rack can be installed in the reverse
manner, and the position can be adjusted according to the
height of the food to be stored.
When adjusting the height of the bottle rack, it is
better to house the dairy bin above the bottle rack.
About the Freezer Compartment
The freezer compartment consists of upper and lower
drawers.
The upper freezer drawer (Fig.2.9) is arranged to load ice
cubes in a tray on the left-hand side and either more ice or
frequently frozen and frequently used foods on the righthand side of the drawer.
The lower deep freeze drawer (Fig.2.10) is for longer duration
freezing.
Note: Do not pull the freezer drawers with too much force as
food may fall out. Do not overpack the drawer otherwise food
will fall out when opening too fast.
Using the Ice Maker
Ice Maker Principles:
The ice maker tray periodically receives an automatic ow of
water to the ice maker ice cube tray. Once the water freezes
a sensor on the tray recognises cubes have been made and
automatically twists the tray to drop the ice cubes into the
ice bucket. The capacity of the ice maker depends on the
ambient temperature, frequency of the freezer door openings
and freezer compartment cooling temperature setting.
Typical ice harvest is 1.8 kg per day.
Note: After rst plugging in your refrigerator, it typically takes
24 hours to make your rst batch of ice cubes.
If This is Your First Ice Maker
Occasionally you may hear sounds, like the owing of water
or ice cubes dropping. These sounds are quite normal and are
not a cause for concern or complaint. In periods of infrequent
use ice cubes may stick together; again this is quite normal.

If You Do Not Use Ice Too Often
Older ice cubes can get stale. Clean the ice container
periodically using warm water. Before putting it back, dry it
well so that the cubes do not stick to the surfaces.
If You Do Not Use the Ice Container For Long Periods of
Time:
If you will not be using the ice container for a long time,
throw out the remaining ice cubes, wash the container with
warm water, dry it with a towel and place back in the fridge.
Close the water supply to the ice maker (see ‘Closing the Water
Supply to the Ice Maker’).
Note: When opening the upper freezer drawer, avoid rapid
pull out which can cause the ice cubes to fall into the lower
deep freeze drawer.
When the ice maker is dropping ice into the ice
container, a signal of circling dashes appears on the
dispenser screen. It is recommended the user waits
for the ice cubes to drop before opening the top
freezer drawer.
