Safety instructions

•In case of R600a refrigerant, it is natural gas with high environmental
compatibility but 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 prevent the inflammable gas-air mixture from producing
in case of leakage of the refrigerating circuit, the size of the room for
accommodating the refrigerator shall be selected based on the quantity of
the freezing medium.

•The room must be 1m3 in size for every 8g of R600a refrigerant inside the
appliance.

•Never start up an appliance showing any signs of damage. If in doubt,
consult your dealer.

if you will be away for less than three weeks. However, take out all
the food if you are going away for three weeks or more. Unplug the
refrigerator and clean it, rinse and dry.

•

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. Should the power
failure last more than 24 hours, remove all frozen food.

•

Do not store food which goes bad easily at low temperature, such as
bananas, melons.

•

Place the ice tray at the originally provided position by manufacturer in
order to achieve optimal freezing effect.

•

Your refrigerator is frost-free, so you don’t need to defrost manually
and the refrigerator will do so automatically.

•

national standards. 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.

Any increase in temperature of frozen food during defrosting can
shorten its storage life.

•

Do not keep vegetable oil in your refrigerator’s door bins. The oil can
solidify, making it foul-tasting and difficult to use. In addition, the open
container can leak and the leaked oil can cause the door bin to crack.
After opening an oil container, it is best to keep the container in a cool
and shaded place such as a cupboard or pantry.
