Safety instructions
WARNING
Indicates risk of serious injury
This appliance should not be used by individuals (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities,
or lack of experience and knowledge of the appliance, unless under the supervision or instruction of someone responsible
for their safety.
Children should be supervised when near the appliance.
Do not use a multiple socket adaptor and plug several appliances into the same socket adaptor.
This can cause overheating,
fi
re or short circuit.
•
Do not pinch, knot, or bend the power cord, or place heavy objects on it.
This increases the risk of
fi
re or electric shock. If the power cord is damaged, please consult authorized service
centre.
•
Do not unplug the refrigerator by pulling on the power cord.
This can damage to the power cord. Always grip the plug and pull
fi
rmly from the socket.
•
Do not place any water container on the top of the refrigerator.
Water can damage insulation of electrical components and cause short circuit,
fi
re or electric shock
Do not spray in
fl
ammable gas near the refrigerator.
This can cause explosion or
fi
re.
Do not spray water onto or into the refrigerator.
This can cause
fi
re or electric shock.
•
•
•
You must plug the refrigerator into a standard earthed mains socket to minimise the possibility of electric
shock.
You must plug the refrigerator into a single mains socket that has the appropriate voltage rating.
Do not use an extension cord or adapter plug.
•
Make sure the power cord and plug aren’t squashed or damaged.
A damaged power plug or cord can cause short-circuit,
fi
re or electric shock.
If the power cord is damaged, have it replaced by the manufacturer, its authorised service centre, or a quali
fi
ed
electrician before using the appliance.
•
•
Remove any dirt or dust from the plug’s pins before connecting to the power supply.
Dust build-up on the plug can cause insulation failure, especially in humid conditions. This can cause short circuit,
fi
re or
electric shock. Unplug the power cord and wipe it with a dry cloth. Never use a wet or damp cloth.
•
Plug your appliance into the socket, making sure the connection is secure.
A loosely connected power plug can cause
fi
re or electric shock.
•
Install the refrigerator in a well-ventilated area.
The more refrigerant there is in an appliance, the larger the room it should be installed in. If there’s a refrigerant
fl
uid
leak, and the appliance is in a small room, the build up of combustible gases is more likely. This can cause
fi
re or
explosion. As a guide, for every 8g of coolant, you’ll need at least 1 cubic metre of space in the room. The data plate
inside the appliance tells you how much refrigerant your refrigerator contains.
Keep all ventilation openings clear.
•
•
The refrigerant (R600a) used in the refrigerator and the gases in the insulation material (cyclopentane) are both
fl
ammable. They also require special disposal procedures.
Before you dispose of the appliance, make sure none of the pipes on the back are damaged. Refrigerant or gas leaks
can cause
fi
re or explosion.
Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
•
•
To avoid electric shock.
Never touch the power plug with wet hands.
Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and servicing.
•
•
If you smell burning or see smoke coming from the refrigerator, disconnect the power immediately and please
consult authorized service centre.
