• In order to avoid the creation of a ammable 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.
• Never start up an appliance showing any signs of damage.
If in doubt, consult your dealer. The room must be 1 m³
in size for every 8 g of R-600a refrigerant inside the
appliance. The amount of refrigerant in your particular
appliance is shown on the identication plate inside the
appliance.
• Refrigerant squirting out of the pipes could ignite or cause
an eye injury. When refrigerant leaks from the pipe, avoid
any naked ames and move anything ammable away
from the product and ventilate the room immediately.
- Failing to do so may result in re or explosion.
• It is hazardous for anyone other than an Authorized
Service Person to service this appliance.

Critical disposal warnings
WARNING
• Please dispose of the packaging material from this product
in an environmentally friendly manner.
• Ensure that none of the pipes on the back of the
refrigerator are damaged prior to disposal.
• R-600a or R-134a is used as a refrigerant. Check the
compressor label on the rear of the appliance or the rating
label inside the fridge to see which refrigerant is used for
your refrigerator. If this refrigerator contains ammable
gas (Refrigerant R-600a), contact your local authority in
regard to safe disposal of this product.
• When disposing of this refrigerator, remove the door/
door seals and door latch so that small children or
animals cannot become trapped inside. Children should
be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance. If trapped inside, a child may get hurt or
suffocate to death.

Safety information
Additional tips for proper usage
• In the event of a power failure, call the local ofce of your
electric company and ask how long the failure is going to
last.
- Most power failures that are corrected in an hour or two
will not affect your refrigerator temperatures. However,
you should minimize the number of door openings
while the power is off.
- Should the power failure last more than 24 hours,
remove and discard all frozen food.
• The refrigerator might not operate consistently (frozen
contents can thaw or temperatures can become too
warm in the frozen food compartment) if sited for an
extended period of time in a location where ambient air
temperatures are constantly below the temperatures for
which the appliance is designed.
• In case of particular foods, keeping it under refrigeration
can have a bad effect on preservation due to its properties.
• Your appliance is frost free, which means there is no need
to manually defrost your appliance. This will be carried out
automatically.
• Temperature rise during defrosting complies with ISO
requirements. If you want to prevent an undue rise in the
temperature of frozen food while the appliance defrosts,
wrap the frozen food in several layers of newspaper.
• Do not re-freeze frozen foods that have thawed
completely.

Saving Energy Tips
• Install the appliance in a cool, dry room with adequate
ventilation. Ensure that it is not exposed to direct sunlight
and never put it near a direct source of heat (a radiator, for
example).
• Not to block any vents and grilles is recommended for
energy efciency.
• Allow warm food to cool down before placing it in the
appliance.
• Put frozen food in the refrigerator to thaw. You can then
use the low temperatures of the frozen products to cool
food in the refrigerator.
• Do not keep the door of the refrigerator open for too long
when putting food in or taking food out. The shorter the
time the door is open, the less frost build-up you’ll have in
the freezer.
• It is recommended to install the refrigerator with clearance
to the back and sides. This will help reduce power
consumption and keep your energy bills lower.
• For the most efcient use of energy, please keep the all
inner ttings such as baskets, drawers, shelves on the
position supplied by manufacturer.
• Select 580 mm cavity depth. A smaller cavity depth will
result in a higher energy consumption.

• Away from direct sunlight
• Adequate room for opening and closing the door
• Away from a heat source
• Room for maintenance and servicing
• Temperature range: between 10 °C and 43 °C
Effective temperature range
The refrigerator is designed to operate normally in the temperature range specied by its
class rating.
Class Symbol Ambient Temperature range (°C)

STEP 3 Flooring
• The surface to install the refrigerator
must support a fully loaded refrigerator.
• To protect the oor, put a large piece
of cardboard on each foot of the
refrigerator.
• Once the refrigerator is in its nal
position, do not move it unless
necessary to protect the oor. If you
have to, use a thick paper or cloth such
as old carpet along the movement path.
STEP 4 Adjust the levelling legs
CAUTION
• The refrigerator must be levelled on a at, solid oor. Failing to do so can cause damage
to the refrigerator or physical injury.
• Levelling must be performed with an empty refrigerator. Make sure no food items
remain inside the refrigerator.
The refrigerator can be levelled using the front legs that have a special screw (leveller) for
levelling purposes. Use a at-head screwdriver for levelling.
To adjust the height of the left side:
Insert a at-head screwdriver into the
leveller of the front left leg. Turn the
leveller clockwise to raise, or turn it
counter clockwise to lower.
To adjust the height of the right side:
Insert a at-head screwdriver into the
leveller of the front right leg. Turn the
leveller clockwise to raise, or turn it
counter clockwise to lower.

expand, creating knocking noises. These noises occur during the defrosting cycle or
when electronic parts are working.
Cracking!
• For ice maker models: When the water valve opens to ll the ice maker, buzzing sounds
may occur.
• Due to pressure equalizing when opening and closing the refrigerator door, whooshing
sounds may occur.
