• Warnings and Important Safety Instructions in this manual do not cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It is your responsibility to use common sense, caution, and care when installing, maintaining, and operating your appliance.

• Because these following operating instructions cover various models, the characteristics of your refrigerator may differ slightly from those described in this manual. R-600a or R-134a is used as a refrigerant. Check the compressor label on the rear of the appliance or the rating label inside the fridge to see which refrigerant is used for your refrigerator. When this product contains ﬂ ammable gas (Refrigerant R-600a), contact your local authority in regard to safe disposal of this product.

• In order to avoid the creation of a ﬂ ammable 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.

• Never start up an appliance showing any signs of damage. If in doubt, consult your dealer. The room must be 1m³ in size for every 8g of R-600a refrigerant inside the appliance. The amount of refrigerant in your particular appliance is shown on the identiﬁ cation plate inside the appliance.

• Refrigerant squirting out of the pipes could ignite or cause an eye injury. When refrigerant leaks from the pipe, avoid any naked ﬂ ames and move anything ﬂ ammable away from the product and ventilate the room immediately.
