Hisense Refrigerator 

registered electrician or replace it in accordance 

with the “cleaning and care” chapter. 

The refrigerant and risk of fire   

The appliance contains a small 

quantity of refrigerant (R600a) in the 

refrigerant circuit. Check the 

compressor label on the rear of the appliance to 

see which refrigerant is used for your appliance. 

y

If the appliance contains iso-butane (R600a) 

refrigerant, which is environmentally friendly but 

flammable, ensure that tubing of the refrigerant 

circuit is not damaged during transportation and 

installation to avoid risk of fire caused by leaking 

refrigerant. 

y

Keep burning candles, lamps and other items 

with naked flames and sources of ignition away 

from the appliance and ventilate the room 

thoroughly to avoid the risk of fire and eye injury 

should any leakage of refrigerant (R600a) exist. 

y

Do not store products which contain flammable 

propellants (e.g. spray cans) or explosive 

substances in the appliance. 

y

The room space must be at least 1m³ per 8g of 

refrigerant (R600a). The amount of refrigerant in 

your appliance is indicated on the rating plate 

inside. 

Installing your new appliance

This chapter tells you how to use most of the 

useful features. Before using the appliance for the 

first time, we recommend that you should be 

informed of the following tips. 

Ventilation of appliance 

For proper installation, this 

refrigerator must be placed on a 

level surface of hard material that 

is the same height as the rest of the flooring. This 

surface should be strong enough to support a 

fully loaded refrigerator, or approximately 266 lbs 

(120 kg).   

To protect the integrality of the flooring, cut a 

large section of the cardboard carton and place 

under the refrigerator where you are working. 

When moving, be sure to pull the unit straight out 

and push back in straight. 

In order to improve efficiency of the cooling 

system and save energy, it is necessary to 

maintain good ventilation around the appliance 

for the dissipation of heat. For this reason, 

sufficient clear space should be available around 

the refrigerator. 

y

Suggestion: It is advisable for there to be at 

least 75mm of space from the back to the wall, at 

least 100mm from its top, at least 100mm from its 

side to the wall and a clear space in front to allow 

the doors to open 155°. As shown in the following 

diagram.
