It may cause fire or abnormal operations, which may
lead to injury.
•Pull the power plug out of the socket before
replacing the interior light in the refrigerator.
Otherwise, there is a risk of electric shock.
It will cause electric shock or fire.
If possible, connect the fridge-freezer to its own individu
al
electrical outlet to prevent it and other appliances 
or
household lights from causing an overloa
d.
The supply plug of the refrigerator-freezer should be
placed in easy accessible position for quick disconnection
in emergency.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified
person in order to avoid a hazard.
Don't store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors
and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
In the event of an electric short circuit, grounding
(earthing) reduces the risk of electric shock by providing
an escape wire for the electric current. In order to prevent
possible electric shock, this appliance must be grounded.
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in an
electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or service
person if the grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if you have doubts on whether the
appliance is properly grounded.

Introduction
14
This appliance contains a small amount of isobutane
refrigerant (R600a), natural gas with high
environmental compatibility, but it is 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 avoid the creation of a flammable gas air
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. The room must be
1m
2in size for every 8g of R600a refrigerant inside the
appliance. The amount of refrigerant in your particular
appliance is shown on the identification plate inside the
appliance.
Never start up an appliance showing any signs of
damage. If in doubt, consult your dealer.
Important Safety Instruction
Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure
or in the built-in structure, clear of obstruction.
Do not use mechanical devices or other means to
accelerate the defrosting process, other than those
recommended by the manufacturer.
Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
Do not use electrical appliances inside the food
storage compartments of the appliance, unless they
are of the type recommended by the manufacturer.
The refrigerant and insulation blowing gas used in the
appliance require special disposal procedures. When
disposal, please consult with service agent or a
similarly qualified person.

Suggestions on food storage
Storing Food
Storing Food
•Do not store food which goes bad easily at low
temperature, such as banana, and melon.
•Allow hot food to cool prior to storing. Placing hot
food in the fridge-freezer could spoil other food, and
lead to higher electric bills.
•When storing the food, use a container with a lid. This
prevents moisture from evaporating, and helps food to
keep its taste and nutrients.
•Do not block air vents with food. Smooth circulation of
cold air keeps fridge-freezer temperature even.
•Do not open the door frequently. Opening the door
lets warm air enter the fridge-freezer, and cause
temperature to rise.
•To adjust the temperature control easily, do not store
food near the temperature control dial.
•Never keep too many foods in door rack, as this may
stop the door from fully closing.
•Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment - they
may break when frozen.
•Do not refreeze food that has been thawed. This
causes loss of taste and nutrition.
NoteIf you keep the fridge-freezer in a hot, and humid
place, frequently open its door or put a lot of
vegetables in it, dew may form in it, which has no
effect on its performance.
Remove the dew with dust cloth free from care.
