-WARNING: Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process, other than those
recommended by the manufacturer.
This can cause damage to the interior of the refrigerator or cause an explosion.
-WARNING: Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the appliance, unless they are of the
type recommended by the manufacturer.
This can cause explosion or re.
-WARNING: Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
This can cause explosion or re.
-WARNING: Do not open the cover of LED lighting of fridge interior.
This can cause electric shock. If the LED lighting does not work correctly, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its
service agent or similarly qualied person in order to avoid a hazard.
Do not try to disassemble, repair or modify the refrigerator yourself.
You may injure yourself – or others – with burns or electric shock, or damage the refrigerator. If your appliance needs
alterations or repair, please consult authorized service centre.
Ensure that the refrigerator is plugged into an earthed mains socket. DO NOT plug into an unearthed mains
socket.
A short circuit could cause an electrical shock.
Make sure the mains lead and plug are not squashed or damaged.
A damaged mains plug or lead can cause short-circuit, re or electric shock.
If the mains lead is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualied persons
in order to avoid a hazard.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPLACE IT YOURSELF.
Remove any dirt or dust from the mains plug’s pins before connecting to the power supply.
Dust build-up on the mains plug can cause insulation failure, especially in humid conditions. This can cause short
circuit, re or electric shock. Unplug the mains lead and wipe it with a dry cloth. Never use a wet or damp cloth.
Plug your appliance into the socket, making sure the connection is secure.
A loosely connected mains plug can cause re or electric shock.
Install the refrigerator in a well-ventilated area.
The more refrigerant there is in an appliance, the larger the room it should be installed in. If there’s a refrigerant uid
leak, and the appliance is in a small room, the build up of combustible gases is more likely. This can cause re or
explosion. As a guide, for every 8
g of coolant, you’ll need at least 1 cubic metre of space in the room. The data plate
inside the appliance tells you how much refrigerant your refrigerator contains.
The refrigerant (R600a) used in the refrigerator and the gases in the insulation material (cyclopentane) are both
ammable. They also require special disposal procedures.
Before you dispose of the appliance, make sure none of the pipes on the back are damaged. Refrigerant or gas leaks
can cause re or explosion.
Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and servicing.
Failure to do this can cause electric shock.
If you smell burning or see smoke coming from the refrigerator, disconnect the power immediately and please
consult authorized service centre.
Failure to do this can cause re or electric shock.
-WARNING: Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear of obstruction.
Failure to do this could result in re or explosion because refrigerant cannot disperse if it leaks.
