INSTRUCTIONS -

Refrigerant warning

 This appliance is CFC- and

HFC-free and contains small quantities of Isobutane (R600a) which is environmentally friendly, but flammable. It does not damage the ozone layer, nor does it increase the greenhouse effect. Care must be taken during transportation and setting up of the appliance that no parts of the cooling system are damaged. Leaking coolant can ignite and may damage the eyes.

In the event of any damage:

- Avoid open flames and anything that creates a spark,

- Disconnect from the electrical power line,

- Air the room in which the appliance is located for several minutes, and

- Contact the Service Department for advice.

 The more coolant there is in an

appliance, the larger the room it should be installed in. In the event of a leakage, if the appliance is in a small room, there is the danger of combustible gases building up. For every ounce of coolant at least 325 cubic feet of room space is required. The amount of coolant in the appliance is stated on the rating label of the appliance. It is hazardous for anyone other than an authorized service person to carry out servicing or repairs to this appliance.

 Take serious care when handling,

moving, and using the appliance to avoid either damaging the refrigerant tubing or increasing the risk of a leak.

 Replacing component parts and

servicing must be done by factory authorized service personnel so as to minimize the risk of possible ignition due to incorrect parts or improper service.

Energy-saving tips

 Do not leave the doors of your

appliance open for a long time.

 Do not put hot food or drinks in your

refrigerator.

 Do not overload your appliance so

as to block the proper circulation of air.

 Do not install your refrigerator in

direct sunlight or near heat-emitting appliances such as ovens, dishwashers or radiators. Keep your refrigerator at least 12" away from heat-emitting sources and at least 2" from electric ovens.

 Keep your stored food in closed

containers.

 You can store the maximum amount

of food items in the freezer when you remove the freezer shelf or drawer. Energy consumption value stated for your refrigerator has been determined by removing freezer shelf or drawer and under maximum load. There is no harm in using a

shelf or drawer that suits the shape and size of the food to be frozen.

 Thawing frozen food in the

refrigerator compartment will both save energy and preserve the food quality.

Disposing of an old refrigerator

This product has been manufactured with high quality parts and materials which can be reused and are suitable for recycling. Therefore, do not dispose of the product with normal domestic waste at the end of its service life. Have it taken to a collection point for the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment. Please consult your local authorities to learn the details. Help protect the environment and natural resources by recycling used products.

3 Installation

Before starting the refrigerator

Check the following before you start to use your refrigerator:

1. Attach 2 plastic spacers as illustrated below. The spacers are intended to keep the proper distance between your refrigerator and the wall to ensure optimum air circulation. (The picture is provided as a representation and is not meant to be identical with your product.)

2. Clean the interior of the appliance as recommended in the

“Maintenance and cleaning”

section.

3. Connect the plug of the appliance to the wall socket. When the refrigerator door is opened, the internal light will turn on.

4. When the compressor starts to operate, a sound will be heard. The liquid and gases sealed within the refrigeration system may also give rise to noise, even if the compressor is not running. This is normal.

5. The front edges of the refrigerator may feel warm. This is normal. These areas are designed to be

warm to avoid condensation.
