SEvERE 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.  
•   R600a or R134a 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 R600a),
-   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 
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.
-   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 1m³ in 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.

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 sufficient 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.
