This appliance contains a small amount of isobutane refrigerant (R600a), a
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 1m3 in size for every 8 g 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.
Warning
•Keep ventilation openings in the appliance enclosure or mounting structure clear of obstruction.
•Do not use mechanical devices or any 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 fridge/freezer, unless they are of a type recommended by the manufacturer.
Caution
Do not store too much food in the appliance.
•When you open the door, an item may fall out and cause personal injury or material damage.
Do not put bottles or any kinds of glass in the freezer.
•The container may break and cause personal injury.
If the wall socket is loose, do not insert the power plug.
• If may cause electric shock or fire.
Do not disconnect the power cord by pulling on it.
•You may disconnect a wire and cause a short circuit.
Do not store articles on top of the appliance.
•When you open or close the door, the articles may fall and cause personal injury or material damage.
Do not store pharmaceutical products, scientific materials or other temperature- sensitive products in the refrigerator.
•Products that require strict temperature controls must not be stored in the refrigerator.
Do not let a child hang from the door.
Do not touch any containers and food in the freezer with wet hands.
• It may cause frostbite.
Remove any foreign matter from the power plug pins.
• Otherwise, there is a risk of fire.
Do not insert your hand into the bottom area of the appliance.
• Any sharp edges may cause personal injury.
After unplugging the appliance, wait for at least five minutes before plugging it in again to the wall socket.
•Abnormal operation of the freezer may cause material damage.
If the appliance is not to be used for a long period of time, pull out the power plug.
• Any deterioration in the insulation may cause fire.
Do not let children touch or play with the control panel on the front of the appliance.
•Do not allow children to play with this appliance.
•Do not stand or lean on the base panel,
•Repairs and maintenance of the appliance should only be performed by a qualified technician. Incorrect repairs by an unqualified person are a potential source of danger that may have critical consequences for the user of the appliance.
•Never put ice cubes or ice lollies straight from the freezer into your mouth. (The low temperature may cause “freezer burns”.)
Caution
The refrigerant used in fridge/freezers and the gases in the insulation material require special disposal procedures. Ensure that none of the pipes on the back of the appliance are damaged prior to disposal.
