CHAPTER 1.

BEFORE USING YOUR FRIDGE

Safety Instructions

• If the model contains R600a-see name plate under refrigerant (the coolant isobutane),
naturals gas that, is very environmentally friendly but also combustible. When
transporting and installing the unit care must be taken to ensure that none of the
refrigeration circuit components become damaged. In the event of damage avoid
naked flames or ignition sources and ventilate the room in which the unit is placed
for a few minutes.

Warning: Keep ventilation openings in appliance enclosure or in structure for building

in, clear of obstruction.

• Do not use mechanical devices or other artificial means to accelerate the defrosting
process.

• Do not use electrical appliances in the refrigerator or freezer compartment of the
appliance.

• If this appliance is to replace an old refrigerator with a lock; break or remove the lock
as a safety measure before storing it, to protect children while playing might lock
themselves inside.

• Old refrigerators and freezers contain insulation gases and refrigerant, which must
be disposed of properly. Entrust the disposal of a scrap unit categorically to
competence of your local waste disposal service and contact your local authority or
your dealer if you have any questions. Please ensure that the pipe of work of your
refrigerating unit does not get damaged prior to being picked-up by the relevant
waste disposal service.

Information On No-Frost Technology

No-frost refrigerators differ from other static refrigerators

in their operating principle.

In normal fridges, the humidity entering the fridge due to
door openings and the humidity inherent in the food causes
freezing in the freezer department. To defrost the frost and ice
in the freezer compartment, you are periodically required to
turn off the fridge, place the food that needs to be kept frozen
in a separately cooled container, and remove the ice gathered
in the freezer department.

The situation is completely different in no-frost fridges. Dry
and cold air is blown into the fridge and freezer compartments
homogeneously and evenly from several points via a blower
fan. Cold air dispersed homogeneously and evenly between
the shelves cools all of your food equally and uniformly, thus
preventing humidity and freezing.

Therefore your no-frost fridge allows you ease of use, in
addition to its huge capacity and stylish appearance.

Safety warnings

Warning: Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting

process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer. Do not use electrical
appliances inside the food storage compartments of the appliance, unless they are of
the type recommended by the manufacturer. Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance
enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear of obstruction. Do not damage the refrigerant
circuit.

• Do not use multiple receptacles or extension cords.
