In the event of a power failure, call the local
offi ce of your Electricity Company and ask
CAUTION
how long it is going to last.
Most power failures that are corrected in an hour or

However, you should minimize the number of door
openings while the power is off.
But should the power failure last more than 24hours,
remove all frozen food.
For doors or lids fi tted with locks and keys, the keys
be kept out of the reach of children and not in the
vicinity of the refrigerating appliance, in order to
prevent children from being locked inside.
ADDITIONAL TIPS FOR PROPER
USAGE
Allow the appliance to stand for 2 hours •
after installation.
To get best performance of product,•
Do not place foods too closely in front of the vents at the rear of the appliance as it can obstruct free
air circulation in the freezer compartment.
Wrap the food up properly or place it in airtight containers before put it into the fridge freezer
Do not put any newly introduced food for freezing near to already frozen food.
There is no need to disconnect the refrigerator •
from the power supply if you will be away for
less than three weeks. But, remove all the food if
you are going away for the three weeks or more.
Unplug the refrigerator and clean it, rinse and dry.
The appliance might not operate consistently •
(possibility of defrosting of contents or
temperature becoming too warm in the frozen
food compartment) when sited for an extended
period of time below the cold end of the range of
temperatures for which the refrigerating appliance
is designed.
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 icefreezing.
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 paper such as
newspaper.
Any increase in temperature of frozen food during •
defrosting can shorten its storage life.
Contains fl uorinated greenhouse gases covered •
by the Kyoto Protocol.
Foam blown with fl uorinated greenhouse gases.•
Foam blown additive:
Perfl uorohexane Global Warming
Potential (GWP) = 9000
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.
