SEVERE WARNING

WARNING

SIGNS FOR
TRANSPORTATION
AND SITE

• When transporting
and installing the
appliance,care should be
taken to ensure that no
parts of the refrigerating
circuit are damaged.

• 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
refrigerator to see which
refrigerant is used for your
refrigerator.

• When this product contains
flammable gas (Refrigerant
R-600a),

- Refrigerant leaking from the
pipe work 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 gas­air 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 where the
refrigerator will be sited must
be 1m³ in size for every 8g
of R-600a refrigerant inside
the appliance.
The amount of refrigerant in

English - 4

DA68-03015B (EN)-02.indd 4 14. 5. 14. �� 5:28

your particular appliance is
shown on the identification
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
flames and move anything
flammable away from the
product and ventilate the
room immediately.

- Failing to do so may result in
fire or explosion.

- If the appliance contains
isobutane refrigerant
(R-600a), a natural gas
with high environmental
compatibility that is, however,
also combustible.
When transporting and
installing the appliance,
care should be taken to
ensure that no parts of
the refrigerating circuit are
damaged.

oily or dusty location, in
a location exposed to
direct sunlight and water
(rain drops).

- Deteriorated insulation of
electrical parts may cause an
electric shock or fire.

• Do not place this refrigerator
in direct sunlight or expose to
the heat from stoves, room
heaters or other appliances.

• Do not plug several
appliances into the same
multiple power board.
The refrigerator should
always be plugged into its
own individual electrical outlet
which has a voltage rating
that matched the 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.

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.

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.

- For the most ecient use
of energy, please keep the
all inner fittings such as
baskets, drawers, shelves
on the position supplied by
manufacturer.
