6 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
MAINTENANCE
• Do not use a hair dryer to dry the inside of the refrigerator.
• Do not light a candle to remove odors in the refrigerator.
• In the event of a refrigerant leak, move flammable objects away from the refrigerator. Ensure the area is
adequately ventilated and contact an authorized service center.
• Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from the refrigerator.
• Unplug the power plug before cleaning or repairing the refrigerator.
• Unplug the power plug immediately in the event of a blackout or thunderstorm.
• Turn the power off if water or dust penetrates into the refrigerator. Call a service agent.
• Do not store glass containers or soda in the freezer compartment. Contents may expand when frozen,
break the container and cause injury.
• Do not store, disassemble or repair the appliance yourself or allow unqualified personnel to do so.
DISPOSAL
• Junked or abandoned refrigerators are dangerous, even if they are sitting for only a few days. When
disposing of 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 disposing of a refrigerator, make sure the refrigerant is removed for proper disposal by a qualified servicer.
If you release the refrigerant, you may be fined or imprisoned in accordance with the relevant environmental
law.
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. When
disposing, please consult with service agent or a similarly qualified person.
This appliance contains a small amount of isobutane refrigerant (R600a), a natural gas with high
environmental compatibility, but which 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 10.8 square feet (1 square meter) in 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.
