y
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or

instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

y
If you are throwing away your old refrigerator, make sure the CFC coolant is removed for proper disposal
y
by a qualified servicer. If you release CFC coolant, you may be fined or imprisoned in accordance with
the relevant environmental law.
Disposed or abandoned refrigerators are dangerous, even if they are sitting for only a few days. When
y
disposing 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 the refrigerant gas has leaked, do not touch the refrigerator or the power outlet and ventilate the room
y
immediately. A spark could trigger an explosion causing a fire or burns. Because this refrigerator uses
natural gas (isobutene, R600a) as the environment-friendly refrigerant, even a small amount (50~60g) is
combustible. If gas leaks from severe damage during delivering, installing or using the refrigerator, any
spark may cause fire or burns.
