6 iMPORTANT SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE.
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury when using your product, basic safety
precautions should be followed, including the following.
CAUTiON
Installation
• The fridge must be properly installed in accordance with the Installer Instructions that were taped to
the front of the fridge.
• Be careful when you unpack and install the fridge. Immediately dispose of packing materials (plastic)
out of reach of children.
Use
• Close the doors carefully when children are around.
• Keep fingers out of pinch point areas; clearances between the doors and cabinets are necessarily
small. Be careful closing doors when children are in the area.
• If food is stacked or stored poorly on the shelves, it may fall and cause injury when the door is opened.
• Do not move fridge while the fridge is operating. A Compressor rattling noise may occur as a result
and will only stop when the compressor cycles off, or when the power to the unit is turned off and
back on again. (This is normal and will not impact on the performance or the life of the compressor.
The rattling will stop after the compressor comes to a rest.)
• Do not place glass containers, bottles or cans (especially those containing carbonated drinks) in the
freezer compartment, shelves or ice bin that will be exposed to temperatures below freezing.
Maintenance
• Do not use strong detergents like wax or thinners for cleaning. Clean with a soft fabric.
• Wipe foreign objects (dust, water, etc) off the prongs of the power plug and contact areas before
connecting.
WARNiNg
• Use drinkable water for ice making.
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.
Never start up an appliance showing any signs of damage. If in doubt, consult your dealer.
