IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
6
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.
When dispensing ice from the dispenser, do not use crystal ceramics.
y
Do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer compartment with wet or damp hands, when
y
your refrigerator is in operation.
Do not put glass containers, glass bottles or beverage cans in the freezer.
y
Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with a flammable propellant in this
y
appliance.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical,
y
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have
been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.
Do not refreeze frozen foods that have thawed completely. It may result in serious health
y
issues.
If you are throwing away your old refrigerator, make sure the CFC coolant is removed for
y
proper disposal by a qualified servicer. If you release CFC coolant, you may be fined or
imprisoned in accordance with the relevant environmental law.
Disposed or abandoned refrigerators are dangerous, even if they are sitting for only a few
y
days. When disposing 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 the refrigerant gas has leaked, do not touch the refrigerator or the power outlet and
y
ventilate the room immediately. A spark could trigger an explosion causing a fire or burns.
Because this refrigerator uses natural gas (isobutene, R600a) as the environment-friendly
refrigerant, even a small amount (50~60g) is combustible. If gas leaks from severe damage
during delivering, installing or using the refrigerator, any spark may cause fire or burns.
CAUTION
Installation
The refrigerator must be properly installed in accordance with the Installer Instructions that
y
were taped to the front of the refrigerator.
Be careful when you unpack and install the refrigerator. Immediately dispose of packing
y
materials (plastic) out of reach of children.
Use
Close the doors carefully when children are around.
y
Keep fingers out of pinch point areas; clearances between the doors and cabinets are
y
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
y
door is opened.
Do not move refrigerator while the refrigerator is operating. A Compressor rattling noise
y
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.)
Maintenance
Do not use strong detergents like wax or thinners for cleaning. Clean with a soft fabric.
y
Wipe foreign objects (dust, water, etc) off the prongs of the power plug and contact areas
y
before connecting.
