• Warnings and Important Safety Instructions in
this manual do not cover all possible conditions
and situations that may occur.
It is your responsibility to use common sense,

and operating your appliance.
• Because the following operating instructions
cover various models, the characteristics of
your refrigerator may differ slightly from those
described in this manual.
• R-600a or R-134a is used as a refrigerant.
Check the compressor label on the rear of
the appliance or the rating label inside the
fridge to see which refrigerant is used for your
refrigerator. If your product contains flammable
gas (Refrigerant R-600a), contact your local
authorities to dispose of this product safely.
• To avoid the creation of a flammable gasair
mixture if a leak in the refrigerating circuit
occurs, you must site this appliance in a room
that is large enough to allow the refrigerant to
dissipate. For this refrigerator, the room must be
1 m³ in size for every 8 g of R-600a refrigerant
inside the appliance. (10.6 cubic ft. for every .28
oz.) 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.
• Refrigerant squirting out of the pipes could
ignite or cause an eye injury. If refrigerant
leaks from the pipe, avoid any naked flames
and move anything flammable away from the
product and ventilate the room immediately.
- Failing to do so may result in fire or explosion.
