Safety Precautions

DO NOT use the fridge/freezer if

it is faulty or damaged. Unplug it

from the power supply and call

your local service centre.

If the power cord is damaged,

have it replaced by the manu-

facturer, an approved service

centre or a qualified electrician.

DO NOT expose the fridge/

freezer to direct sunlight.

DO NOT install it next to a

source of heat (oven, radiator).

If you must install the fridge/

freezer near a source of heat,

ensure that there is sufficient

insulation between the two

appliances.

DO NOT allow water to splash or

run on to the back of the fridge/

freezer.

Water impairs the insulation of

the electrical parts and may

cause an electric short circuit or

risk of electric shock.

DO NOT allow children to:

◆Play in or around the fridge/

freezer

◆Hang on the refrigerator

door

Children may be injured and the

appliance may be damaged.

To maintain the efficiency of your

fridge/freezer, DO NOT leave the

doors open for any longer than

necessary.

Make sure that the doors are

carefully pushed closed at all

times.

DO NOT store volatile chemicals,

such as ether and benzene, in

the fridge/freezer. Besides

damaging the food, the fumes

can build up and cause an

explosion.

DO NOT use flammable sprays,

such as lacquer or paint, near

the fridge/freezer.

The appliance must be positioned

so that the plug is accessible after

installation

The appliance is not intended for

use by young children or infirm

persons without supervision.

Main Features

Your fridge/freezer is fitted with several useful features, to help you store food as efficiently and as

hygienically as possible.

Feature Description

Auto-defrost When sufficient frost has accumulated in the fridge/freezer, the auto-defrost feature

starts up automatically. The frost is thawed and the thaw water is collected in an

evaporation tray, which allows it to evaporate.

This operation is fully automatic and requires no intervention by you.

Bio-deodorizer This integrated ventilation system helps remove odor from the refrigerator, by moving

(OPTION) the air in such a way that smells cannot collect and contaminate the food. The

bio-deodorizer is located at the top of fresh food compartment.

Chiller compartment The chiller compartment freezes only the surface of the food to help:

(OPTION) ◆Preserve the taste of the food

◆Prolong the freshness

Adjustable shelves The accessories inside your fridge/freezer can be placed in the positions that best suit

and containers your requirements and the food to be stored. The specially large compartments in the

bottom of the door are very practical when chilling bottles of drinks for example.

Various factors must be taken into account when choosing where to install your fridge/freezer.

For the personal safety of you and your family, your fridge/freezer

must be:

◆Plugged into its own individual wall outlet with the

correct voltage and frequency, as indicated inside the

refrigerator door

◆Properly earthed (do not ground the fridge/freezer with a

telephone line, gas pipe, and so on)

To minimise the possibility of electric shocks from the appliance, the

wall outlet must also be earthed; have it checked by a qualified

electrician. If it is not earthed, it is your personal responsibility and

obligation to have it replaced with a properly earthed outlet, or use a

different power point.

If the power cord is damaged, avoid a hazard by

replacing it through the manufacturer or its service

agent or a similarly qualified person.

In case of power plug without ground terminal.

◆Connect one side of the ground wire (yellow/green

or green color) with the ground screw, another side

of the ground terminal with steel or copper pipe such

as water pipe tap.
