Owner’s Manual

5IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
ENGLISH
• Turn off power immediately in the event of a blackout or thunderstorm.
• Turn the power off if water or dust penetrates into the refrigerator. Call a service agent.
• Do not store, disassemble or repair the appliance yourself or allow unqualified personnel to do so.
• Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with a flammable propellant in this appliance.
• If the electrical supply cord is damaged, it must only be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent
or a similar qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
• Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process, other than those
recommended by the manufacturer.
Disposal
• Risk of child entrapment. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are dangerous, even if they are sitting for
only a few days. When disposing of the refrigerator, remove the packing materials from the door or take
off the doors but leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.
• If disposing of a refrigerator, make sure the refrigerant and insulation foam are removed for proper
disposal by a qualified servicer. If you release the refrigerant or throw away the insulation foam, you
may be fined or imprisoned in accordance with the relevant environmental law. Insulation foam contains
flammable blowing gas.
• When discarding the appliance, remove the door gasket while leaving the racks in place, and keep
children away from the appliance.
Grounding Instructions
• Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check
with a qualified electrician or service personnel if you are in doubt whether the appliance is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance; if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper
outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
• Have a certified electrician check the wall outlet and wiring for proper grounding.
Risk of Fire and Flammable Materials
CAUTION
CAUTION
• To reduce the risk of minor or moderate injury to persons, malfunction, or damage to the product or
property when using this product, follow basic precautions, including the following:
This appliance contains a small amount of isobutane refrigerant (R600a), which is 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 out 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 10.8 square feet (1 square meter) 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.
