Danger

Don't store

Grounding (Earthing)

Important Safety Instruction

• Do not disassemble, repair or alter the appliance. 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.
• If possible, connect the fridge-freezer to its own individual electrical outlet to prevent it and other appliances or household lights from causing an overload.

It will cause electric shock or fire.

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.

Risk of child entrapment.

Before you throw away your old refrigerator or freezer: Take off the doors.

Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

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.

Important Safety Instruction

▲ Warning

⚠️ 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.

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 1 m^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

Important Safety Instruction

- If the wall socket is loose, do not insert the power plug. It may cause electric shock or fire.

Otherwise, there is a risk of fire.

- Do not put your hands 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 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 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.

- The refrigerant used in fridge/freezer and the gases in the insulation material require special disposal procedures. Ensure that none of the pipes on the back of the appliances are damaged prior to disposal.

Caution

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.
• 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.
• 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.

Suggestions on food storage

• Freezer Door Basket, marked is -12°C compartment, that is suitable for sort term storage of frozen food.
• If you want to quick freeze new food, you put it middle drawer of freezer compartment, and then press the Super Freezer button.

Note

If 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.

Power Failure

If You Move

Anti Condensation Pipe

General Information

• 1\~2 hour power failure does no harm to the foods stores. Try to avoid opening and closing the door too frequently.
  • Take out foods from the fridge-freezer and firmly fix the loose items with tape.

• Turn the leveling screws until they stop before moving the fridge-freezer. Otherwise the screw may scratch the floor or the fridge-freezer cannot move.

• The Anti-Condensation pipe is installed around the front side of fridge-freezer as well as on the partition between fridge compartment and freezer compartment to prevent dewing.

• Especially after installation or when ambient temperature is high, the fridge-freezer may feel hot, which is quite normal.
