 Important Safety Instructions

IF  PRESSURISED  AEROSOL  CONTAINERS 
BEAR  THE  WORD  ‘FLAMMABLE’  AND/OR 

A  SMALL  FLAME  SYMBOL,  DO  NOT  STORE 
THEM    INSIDE  ANY  REFRIGERATOR.  IF  YOU 
DO SO YOU MAY CAUSE AN EXPLOSION

When you dispose of refrigerators and freezers, 

remove any doors. Children can suffocate if they 
get trapped inside. 

This refrigerator contains insulation formed with 
flammable blowing gases. Avoid safety hazards 
by carefully disposing of this appliance.

•  The  refrigerator  must  be  plugged  into  its  own 
dedicated 220-240 Volt, 50 Hz., AC electric outlet. 

• Ensure that the electric outlet is properly earthed to 
ground. Consult a qualified electrician if 
you are unsure.

•  Do  not  use  an  extension  cord  or 
adapter plug. 

• If the power cord is damaged, it should 
be replaced by a service technician or a 
qualified person .

•  Unplug  the  refrigerator  before  cleaning  and  before 
changing any of the light bulbs to avoid electric shock.

• Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling on the power 
cord. Always grip the plug firmly, and pull straight out of 
the receptacle to prevent damaging the power cord.

 Location

• Choose a place that is not too cold - 
the temperature should be above 10°C.

•  Put  the  refrigerator  in  a  dry  place, 
avoiding  areas  of  high  moisture  or 
humidity.

•  Don’t  put  the  refrigerator  in  frosty  or 
unprotected  areas,  for  example  in  a 
garage or on a veranda.

•  Don’t  put  the  refrigerator  in  direct 
sunlight.

•  Don’t  put  the  refrigerator  near  stoves, 
fires or heaters.

When correctly installed, your refrigerator should:

• have adequate clearance to the back and sides for air 
circulation.
• be aligned to the surrounding cupboards.
•  have  doors  that  will  self-close  from  a  partially  open 
position.
• have the stability foot in place (see Diagram 4 on page 6) 
to prevent the refrigerator falling forward when a door with 
heavy food load is opened.

  Clearances around your refrigerator.

Before you move your refrigerator into the place where it 
will  operate  check  that  it  will  have  adequate  clearance. 
Clearance  is  required  for  air  circulation  and  too  little 
clearance may affect your refrigerators performance. 

We recommend minimum clearances of:

• 3cm on each side.
• 9cm above the refrigerator.
• 5cm behind the refrigerator.
