Keep the power plug away from the rear of the fridge/freezer.

A damaged power plug may cause fire due to overheating.

Do not directly spray water inside or outside the fridge/freezer.

• There is a risk of fire or electric shock.

Do not spray inflammable gas near the fridge/freezer.

• There is a risk of explosion or fire.

Do not bend the power cord excessively or place heavy articles on it.

This constitutes a fire hazard. If the power cord is damaged, have it replaced immediately by the manufacturer, its service agent or a similarly qualified person.

Do not insert the power plug with wet hands.

• You may receive an electric shock.

Do not put a container filled with liquid on top of the appliance.

If the water spills on to any electrical parts, it may lead to fire or electric shock.

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

Incorrect insulation of the electrical parts may cause an electric shock or fire.

Do not store volatile and inflammable substances in the refrigerator.

The storage of benzene, thinner, alcohol, ether, LP gas or other such substances may cause an explosion.

Indicates that a risk of personal

injury or material damage exists. Caution

Do not disassemble, repair or alter the appliance.

It may cause fire or abnormal operations, which may lead to injury.

Pull the power plug out of the socket before replacing the interior light in the refrigerator.

• Otherwise, there is a risk of electric shock.

Be sure to ground the appliance.

Otherwise, it may cause material damage and electric shock.

If you wish to dispose of the refrigerator / freezer, throw it away after removing the door or its seals.

In this way, it is not possible for a child to remain trapped inside it.

This appliance contains a small amount of isobutane refrigerant (R600a), a

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 gasair 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 1m3 in size for every 8 g of R600a refrigerant inside the appliance. The amount of refrigerant 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.

Caution

Do not store too much food in the appliance.

When you open the door, an item may fall out and cause personal injury or material damage.

Do not put bottles or any kinds of glass in the freezer.

The container may break and cause personal injury.

If the wall socket is loose, do not insert the power plug.

• If may cause electric shock or fire.

Do not disconnect the power cord by pulling on it.

You may disconnect a wire and cause a short circuit.

Do not store articles on top of the appliance.

When you open or close the door, the articles may fall and cause personal injury or material damage.

Do not store pharmaceutical products, scientific materials or other temperaturesensitive products in the refrigerator.

After unplugging the appliance, wait for at least five minutes before plugging it in again to the wall socket.

Abnormal operation of the freezer may cause material damage.

If the appliance is not to be used for a long period of time, pull out the power plug.

• Any deterioration in the insulation may cause fire.

Do not let children touch or play with the control panel on the front of the appliance.

Do not allow children to play with this appliance.

Do not stand or lean on the base panel, pull-out parts, doors and so on.

Repairs and maintenance of the appliance should only be performed by a qualified technician. Incorrect repairs by an unqualified person are a potential source of danger that may have critical consequences for the user of the appliance.

Never put ice cubes or ice lollies straight from the freezer into your mouth. (The low temperature may cause “freezer burns”.)

Caution

The refrigerant used in fridge/freezers and the gases in the insulation material require special disposal procedures. Ensure that none of the pipes on the back of the appliance are damaged prior to disposal.

INSTALLING THE FRIDGE/FREEZER

Allow an adequate space and install the fridge/freezer on a firm, level floor.

If the appliance is not level, there may be unusual noises and poor cooling.

Wait for at least one hour before plugging the appliance in.

Clean the fridge/freezer.

• Wipe and clean the appliance inside and outside with a damp cloth.

Plug the fridge/freezer into a wall socket used exclusively by this appliance.

• This appliance must be properly grounded.

Place the food in the fridge/freezer.

• It is recommended that you wait for the appliance to cool for 2-3 hours before storing food in it.

Warning

Use of an grounded socket exclusively for the appliance:

• If you are using a socket with an earthing terminal, you do not require a separate earthing connection.

Use of a non-grounded socket:

25cm

• Connect the “earthing wire” to the copper plate and bury it at a depth of at least 25 cm in the ground.

LEVELLING

If the front of the appliance is slightly higher than the rear, the door can be open and closed more easily.

The appliance tilts down to the left.

Turn the left adjusting leg in the direction of the arrow with a flat head screwdriver until the appliance is level.

The appliance tilts down to the right.

Turn the right adjusting leg in the direction of the arrow with a flat head screwdriver until the appliance is level.

PREPARING THE FRIDGE/FREEZER

To prepare your appliance for use and check that it is running correctly, take the following steps.

Install all shelves and compartments removed during transport in the correct positions.

Clean the fridge/freezer and accessories to remove any dust that accumulated during packing and shipping.

The interior light of the appliance will light up when the door is open.

Set the temperature control to the coldest temperature and let the refrigerator operate for one hour. The freezer should get slightly chilled and the motor should run smoothly with a soft hum and no noise.

Your fridge/freezer is operated by a compressor which switches “on and off” to maintain the internal temperature. When the compressor is new, it requires running in for a period of up to five months. During this period, it may be slightly noisy. This is quite normal and does not represent a fault.

Store food once the temperature in the refrigerator is sufficiently low. It takes a few hours after starting the refrigerator to reach the proper temperature.

If the appliance does not operate correctly, check the electricity supply. If the problem persists, contact your dealer.
