SAFETY WARNING SIGNS

DANGER

Risk of child entrapment. Before you throw away your old refrigerator or freezer

• Take off the doors

• Leave the shelves in places so that children may not easily climb inside.

If this appliance contains isobutane refrigerant (R600a)then the following warnings are applicable. R600a is a natural gas with high environmental compatibility however, 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 gas-air 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 1m 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.

Food odor from the refrigerator does not affect food in other compartments because the cooler and air flow systems are separate.

Multi-Flow System

•

Cool air circulates through multiple vents on every shelf level. This provides even distribution of cooling inside cabinets to keep your food fresh longer.
