Do not plug several appliances into the same
socket.
• This could cause overheating and the risk of fire.
Keep the power plug away from the rear of the
refrigerator/freezer.
• A damaged power plug may cause fire due to
overheating.
Do not directly spray water inside or outside
the refrigerator/freezer.
• There is a risk of fire or electric shock.
Do not spray inflammable gas near the
refrigerator/freezer.
• There is a risk of explosion or fire.
Do not bend the power cord excessively or
place heavy articles on it.
This constitutes a fire hazard.
If the power cord
is damaged, have it replaced immediately by the
manufacturer, its service agent or a similarly
qualified person.
Do not insert the power plug with wet hands.
• You may receive an electric shock.
Do not put a container filled with liquid on top
of the appliance.
• If the water spills on to any electrical parts, it may
lead to fire or electric shock.
Do not install the refrigerator/freezer in a damp
place, where it could be splashed with water.
• Incorrect insulation of the electrical parts may
cause an electric shock or fire.
Do not store volatile and inflammable
substances in the refrigerator.
• The storage of benzene, thinner, alcohol, ether,
LP gas or other such substances may cause an
explosion.
Warning
Do not disassemble, repair or alter the
appliance.
• It may cause fire or abnormal operations, which
may lead to injury.
Pull the power plug out of the socket before

trapped inside it.
This appliance contains a small amount
of isobutane refrigerant (R600a), a
natural gas with high environmental
compatibility that is, however, 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 1m
3
in size for every 8 g 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.
