MAINTENANCE
• Do not use a hair dryer to dry the inside of the refrigerator.
• Do not light a candle to remove odors in the refrigerator.
• In the event of a refrigerant leak, move flammable objects away from the refrigerator. Ensure the area is
adequately ventilated and contact an authorized service center.
• Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from the refrigerator.
• This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children
must not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance must not be performed by children
without supervision.
• Unplug the power plug before cleaning or repairing the refrigerator.
• The refrigerator and freezer compartment lights are interior LED lighting, and service should be performed
by a qualified technician.
• Unplug the power plug 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.
DISPOSAL
• 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 is removed for proper disposal by a qualified servicer.
If you release the refrigerant, 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 shelves and bins 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 qualified electrician check the wall outlet and wiring for proper grounding.
• Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out
from the outlet. Failure to do so may damage the power cord, resulting in a risk of fire and electric shock.
RISK OF FIRE AND FLAMMABLE MATERIALS
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.
