Check the compressor label on the rear of the appliance or the rating label inside the refrigerator to see which refrigerant is used for your refrigerator. When this product contains ﬂ ammable gas (Refrigerant R600a), contact your local authority in regard to safe disposal of this product. Cyclopentane is used as a insulation blowing gas.

the refrigerating circuit are damaged.

• When disposing of this product or other

refrigerators, remove the door/door seals, door latch so that small children or animals cannot become trapped inside. Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the old appliance. Please dispose of the packaging material for this

product in an environmentally friendly manner.

ADDITIONAL TIPS FOR PROPER USAGE

• In the event of a power failure, call the local ofﬁ ce

of your Electricity Company and ask how long it is going to last.

- Most power failures that are corrected within

an hour or two will not affect your refrigerator temperatures. However, you should minimize the number of door openings while the power is off.

- Should the power failure last more than 24 hours,

remove all frozen food.

• If keys are provided with the refrigerator, the

keys should be kept out of the reach of children and not in vicinity of the appliance.

• The appliance might not operate consistently

(possibility of temperature becoming too warm in refrigerator) when sited for an extended period of time below the cold end of the range of temperature for which the refrigerating appliance is designed.

• Do not store food which spoils easily at low

temperature, such as bananas, melons.

• Your appliance is frost free, which means there

is no need to manually defrost your appliance, as this will be carried out automatically.

• Temperature rising during the defrost can

comply with ISO requirement. But if you want to prevent an undue rise in the temperature of the frozen food while defrosting the appliance, please wrap the frozen food in several layers of newspaper.

• Any increase in temperature of frozen food

during defrosting can shorten its storage life.

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 time for which the door is open, the less ice will form in the freezer.

- Clean the rear of the refrigerator regularly. Dust increases energy consumption.

- Do not set temperature colder than necessary.

- Ensure sufﬁ cient air exhaust at the refrigerator base and at the back wall of the refrigerator. Do not cover air vent openings.

- Allow clearance to the right, left, back and top when installing. This will help reduce power consumption and keep your energy bills lower.
