Important Safety Instructions

IF PRESSURISED AEROSOL CONTAINERS
BEAR THE WORD 'FLAMMABLE' AND/OR
A SMALL FLAME SYMBOL, DO NOT STORE
THEM INSIDE ANY REFRIGERATOR. IF YOU
DO SO YOU MAY CAUSE AN EXPLOSION
When you dispose of refrigerators and freezers,
remove any doors. Children can suffocate if they
get trapped inside.
This refrigerator contains insulation formed with
flammable blowing gases. Avoid safety hazards
by carefully disposing of this appliance.
• The refrigerator must be plugged into its own
dedicated AC electric outlet.
• Ensure that the electric outlet is properly earthed
to ground. Consult a qualified electrician if you are
unsure.
• It must be possible to disconnect the appliance from
the mains power supply; the plug must therefore be
easily accessible after installation.
• Do not use an extension cord or adapter plug.

1 - Introduction

• If the power cord is damaged, it should be replaced
by a service technician or a qualified person .
• Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and before
changing any of the light bulbs to avoid electric shock.
• Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling on the power
cord. Always grip the plug firmly, and pull straight out of
the receptacle to prevent damaging the power cord.

Location

• Choose a place that is not too cold -
the temperature should be above 10°C.
• Put the refrigerator in a dry place,
avoiding areas of high moisture or
humidity.
• Don't put the refrigerator in frosty or
unprotected areas, for example in a
garage or on a veranda.
• Don't put the refrigerator in direct
sunlight.
• Don't put the refrigerator near stoves,
fires or heaters.
When correctly installed, your refrigerator should:
• have adequate clearance to the back and sides for
air circulation.
• be aligned to the surrounding cupboards.
• have doors that will self-close from a partially open
position.
• have the stability foot in place (see Diagram 4 on
page 6) to prevent the refrigerator falling forward when
a door with heavy food load is opened.

Clearances around your refrigerator.

Before you move your refrigerator into the place where it
will operate check that it will have adequate clearance.
Clearance is required for air circulation and too little
clearance may affect your refrigerators performance.
We recommend minimum
clearances of:
• 3cm on each side.
• 9cm above the refrigerator.
• 5cm behind the refrigerator.
