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^2 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.

Never start up an appliance showing any signs of damage. If in doubt, consult your dealer.

CAUTION!

Do not apply excessive force to remove the drawers and shelves – this may result in damage of the refrigerator.

Freezer Compartment (Optional)

If a large quantity of food is to be placed in the freezer compartment,

The middle drawer of freezer compartment shall be taken out of the appliance and food shall be stacked directly on the wire shelf. Freezer compartment provides wire shelf on default to maximize food storage capacity. And also the drawer is provided to convenient usage for watery meat or half-liquid state food.

FOODSTUFF STORAGE

• 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.
• If it is necessary to quickly freeze fresh foodstuffs, place them to the lower drawer of the freezing compartment and push the "Express Freeze" button;
• Frozen foodstuffs should be stored packed (in polyethylene film, aluminum foil, etc.) in the freezing compartment;
• Volume of the upper drawer in the freezing compartment is the "two stars" section. Temperature inside this section does not rise above -12^ . This should be taken into account for storage of foodstuffs.

CLEANING

1. Before cleaning, make sure that power supply is switched off;
2. Outside and inside, the refrigerator should be washed with a clean napkin wetted in warm water with a liquid detergent. Then wipe dry with a dry napkin;
3. After cleaning, make sure that the power cord is not damaged. Then tightly insert the plug to the power outlet.

CAUTION!

1. It is prohibited to use abrasive materials, gasoline, benzene, solvents, hydrochloride, hot water, hard brushes, etc., which may damage the refrigerator surface.
2. For products with a stainless steel exterior, use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mildDetergent in warm water. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners. Dry thoroughly with a Soft cloth. Do not use appliance wax, bleach, or other products containing chlorine on stainless steel.

GENERAL

Electric power failure.

- An interruption in electric power supply for 1-2 hours will not harm the stored foodstuffs. Try to less frequently open and close the refrigerator door during this period.

DURING MOVE:

• Remove all foodstuffs and other objects from the refrigerator. Firmly secure the internal detachable parts (shelves, drawers, door baskets);
  • To avoid damage of the floor and adjustable feet of the refrigerator, turn them counter-clockwise before transportation;
• The refrigerator should be firmly secured in the truck to prevent its hits and falling inside the truck during transportation;
  • The refrigerator should be transported in vertical position in a covered vehicle. The original package should not be damaged during transportation;
• During loading and unloading, the refrigerator should be protected against hits.

BEFORE SWITCHING ON:

- If the refrigerator is transported in cold season, unpack the refrigerator in a warm room and do not switch on it for at least 12 hours.

CAUTION!

Do not move or incline the refrigerator during its operation.

Noise may occur in the compressor. This feature does not affect operability of the compressor.

Cracking noise may be heard due to thermal deformations of the refrigerator components. Typical sounds from activation of the thermostatic controller and compressor are normal sounds occurring during operation of electric equipment in the appliance.

The refrigerant circulating inside the refrigeration system may calmly gurgle, even if the compressor is idle.

Do not worry, this is absolutely normal.

The following sounds may be heard during operation of the refrigerator:

• Clicks from actuation of the temperature sensor/switch;
• Murmur of the refrigerant circulating in tubes of the refrigeration system;
• Slight cracking noise from thermal deformations of materials.

These sounds are not associated with any defect and they have a functional aspect.

ANTI-CONDENSATION TUBE:

• The anti-condensation tube is laid inside the enclosure around the front face of the refrigerator to exclude moisture condensation;
  • The refrigerator may greatly heat up in these places, especially immediately after switching on for the first time or at high ambient temperature.
