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 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
3
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.
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.
• Products that require strict temperature controls
must not be stored in the refrigerator.
Do not let a child hang from the door.
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.
Caution
PREPARING THE FRIDGE/FREEZER
5
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.
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:
• Connect the “earthing wire” to the copper plate and bury
it at a depth of at least 25 cm in the ground.
If the front of the appliance is slightly higher than the rear, the door can be open and closed more easily.
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.
INSTALLING THE FRIDGE/FREEZER

Warning
LEVELLING
25cm
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.
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.
To prepare your appliance for use and check that it is running correctly, take the following steps.
