WARNING
CRITICAL INSTALLATION WARNINGS
• Do not install the refrigerator in a damp location or place where it may come in contact with water.
- Deteriorated insulation on electrical parts may cause an electric shock or fire.
• Do not place this refrigerator in direct sunlight or expose it to the heat from stoves, room heaters, or other appliances.
• Do not plug several appliances into the same multiple power strip. The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the voltage listed on the refrigerator’s rating plate.
- This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits, which could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.
• If the wall socket is loose, do not insert the power plug.
- There is a risk of electric shock of fire.
• Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end.
• Do not bend the power cord excessively or place heavy articles on it.
• Do not twist or tie the power cord.
• Do not hook the power cord over a metal object, place a heavy object on the power cord, insert the power cord between objects, or push the power cord into the space behind the appliance.
- When moving the refrigerator, be careful not to roll over or damage the power cord
- This may result in an electric shock or fire.
• Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.
- Damage to the cord may cause a short-circuit,
Safety information _03

ADDITIONAL TIPS FOR PROPER USAGE
• In the event of a power failure, call the local office of your Electricity Company and ask how long it is going to last.
- Most power failures that are corrected in an hour or two will not affect your refrigerator temperatures. However, you should minimize the number of door openings while the power is off.
- But Should the power failure last more than 24 hours, remove and discard all frozen food.
• If a key is provided with refrigerator, the keys should be kept out of the reach of children and not be in the vicinity of the appliance.
Safety information _07
• The appliance might not operate consistently (frozen contents can thaw or temperatures can become too warm in the frozen food compartment) when sited for an extended period of time in a location where ambient air temperatures are constantly below the temperatures for which the appliance is designed.
• Do not store food which goes bad easily at low temperature, such as bananas and melons.
• Your appliance is frost free, which means there is no need to manually defrost your appliance. This will be carried out automatically.
• Temperature rise during defrosting complies with ISO requirements. But If you want to prevent an undue rise in the temperature of the frozen food while the appliance defrosts, wrap the frozen food in several layers of newspaper.
• Any increase in the temperature of frozen food during defrosting can shorten its storage life.
• Do not re-freeze frozen foods that have thawed completely.
Saving Energy Tips
- Install the appliance in a cool, dry room with adequate ventilation. Ensure that it is not exposed to direct sunlight and never put it near a direct source of heat (radiator, for example).
- Never block any vents or grilles on the appliance.
- Allow warm food to cool down before placing it in the appliance.
- Put frozen food in the refrigerator to thaw. You can then use the low temperatures of the frozen products to cool food in the refrigerator.
- Do not keep the door of the appliance open for too long when putting food in or taking food out. The shorter the time the door is open, the less frost build-up you’ll have in the freezer.
- Provide sufficient clearance to the right, left, back, and top when installing for air circulation. This will help reduce power consumption and keep your energy bills lower.
