label inside the fridge to see which refrigerant is used

for your appliance. This product contains ammable gas

(Refrigerant R-600a), contact your local authority in regard

to safe disposal of this product.

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.

from the product and ventilate the room immediately.

- Failing to do so may result in re or explosion.

• To avoid contamination of food, please respect the

following instructions:

- Opening the door for long periods can cause a

signicant increase of the temperature in the

compartments of the appliance.

- Clean regularly surfaces that can come in contact with

food and accessible drainage systems.

- Clean water tanks if they have not been used for 48 h;

ush the water system connected to a water supply if

Safety information

• For the most efcient use of energy, please keep the all

inner ttings such as baskets, drawers, shelves on the

position supplied by manufacturer.

• To get the best energy efciency of this product, please

leave all shelves, drawers and baskets on their original

position.

How to minimize the energy consumption

• Install the appliance in a cool, dry room with adequate

ventilation.

• Ensure that it is not exposed to direct sunlight and never

place it near a direct source of heat (radiator, for example).

- Not to block any vents or grilles is recommended for

energy efciency.

- 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 sufcient air exhaust at the refrigerator base

and at the back wall of the refrigerator. Do not cover air

vent openings.

Severe warning signs for transportation and site

WARNING

• When transporting and installing the appliance, care should

be taken to ensure that no parts of the refrigerating circuit

naked ames or potential sources of ignition and air

the room in which the appliance is standing for several

minutes.

Untitled-7 9 2023-01-11  2:33:23

Safety information

Safety information

- This appliance contains a small amount of isobutane

refrigerant (R-600a), a natural gas with high

environmental compatibility that is, however, also

combustible. When transporting and installing the

appliance, care should be taken to ensure that no parts

of the refrigerating circuit are damaged.

• When transporting and installing the refrigerator, do not

touch the water hose at the rear side of the refrigerator.

- This may damage the refrigerator and as a result the

water dispenser can not be used.

Critical installation warnings

WARNING

• Do not install the refrigerator in a damp location or place

where it may come in contact with water.

- Deteriorated insulation on electrical parts may cause an

electric shock or re.

• Do not place this refrigerator in direct sunlight or expose it

to the heat from stoves, room heaters, or other appliances.

• Do not plug several appliances into the same multiple

power strip. The refrigerator should always be plugged

into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage

rating that matches the voltage listed on the refrigerator’s

rating plate.

- This provides the best performance and also prevents

overloading of house wiring circuits, which could cause

a re hazard from overheated wires.
