• You may receive an electric shock.
Do not put a container filled with liquid on top of
the appliance.
• If the water spills on to any electrical parts, it may
lead to fire or electric shock.
Do not install the refrigerator / freezer in a damp
place, where it may come into contact with water.
• Incorrect insulation of the electrical parts may
cause an electric shock or fire.
Do not store volatile and inflammable
substances in the refrigerator.
• The storage of benzene, thinner, alcohol, ether, LP
gas or other such substances may cause an
explosion.
Warning

This appliance contains a small amount
of isobutane refrigerant (R600a), a
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.
• 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 1m
3
in size for every 8 g 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.
Do not store too much food in the appliance.
• When you open the door, an item may fall out and
cause personal injury or material damage.
Do not put bottles or any kinds of glass in the
freezer.
• The container may break and cause personal
injury.
If the wall socket is loose, do not insert the
power plug.
• If may cause electric shock or fire.
Do not disconnect the power cord by pulling
on it.
• You may disconnect a wire and cause a short
circuit.
Do not store articles on top of the appliance.
• When you open or close the door, the articles may
fall and cause personal injury or material damage.
Do not store pharmaceutical products,
scientific materials or other temperature-
sensitive products in the refrigerator.
• Products that require strict temperature controls
must not be stored in the refrigerator.
Do not let a child hang from the door.
Caution
The refrigerant used in fridge/freezers and the
gases in the insulation material require special
disposal procedures. Ensure that none of the pipes
on the back of the appliance are damaged prior to
disposal.
