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.
Refrigerant leaking from the pipe work could    -
ignite or cause an eye injury. If a leak is 
detected, avoid any naked fl ames 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 fl ammable  • 
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 1m in size for every 8g of R600a refrigerant 
inside the appliance. The amount of refrigerant 
in your particular appliance is shown on the 
identifi cation plate inside the appliance.

ADDITIONAL TIPS FOR PROPER 
USAGE
In the event of a power failure, call the local  • 
offi ce of your Electricity Company and ask how 
long it is going to last.
Most power failures that are corrected within    -
an hour or two will not affect your refrigerator 
temperatures. However, you should minimize 
the number of door openings while the power is 
off.
Should the power failure last more than 2 hours,    -
remove all ice in the Ice Bucket.
Should the power failure last more than 24    -
hours, remove all frozen food.
If keys are provided with the refrigerator, the  • 
keys should be kept out of the reach of children 
and not in vicinity of the appliance.
The appliance might not operate consistently  • 
(possibility of temperature becoming too warm 
in refrigerator) when sited for an extended 
period of time below the cold end of the range 
of temperature for which the refrigerating 
appliance is designed.
Do not store food which spoils easily at low  • 
temperature, such as bananas, melons.
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

							06_ safety information
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 
newspaper.
Any increase in temperature of frozen food  • 
during defrosting can shorten its storage life.
Saving Energy TipsInstall 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.
