Important Safety Instruction
The supply plug of the refrigerator-freezer should be
placed in easy accessible position for quick disconnection
in emergency.
Accessibility of
Supply Plug
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified
person in order to avoid a hazard.
Dont store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors
and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
In the event of an electric short circuit, grounding
(earthing) reduces the risk of electric shock by providing
an escape wire for the electric current. In order to
prevent possible electric shock, this appliance must be
grounded. Improper use of the grounding plug can result
in an electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or
service person if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if you have doubts on
whether the appliance is properly grounded.
Risk of child entrapment.

 Warning Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure
or in the built-in structure, clear of obstruction.
 Do not use mechanical devices or other means to
accelerate the defrosting process, other than those
recommended by the manufacturer.
 Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
 Do not use electrical appliances inside the food
storage compartments of the appliance, unless they
are of the type recommended by the manufacturer. 
 The refrigerant and insulation blowing gas used in
the appliance require special disposal procedures.

This appliance contains a small amount of isobutane
refrigerant (R600a), 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 1m2in 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.
