SEVERE WARNING SIGNS FOR TRANSPORTATION AND SITE
• 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.
• Never start up an appliance showing any signs of damage. If in doubt, consult
your dealer. The room where the refrigerator will be sited must be 1m³ in size for
every 8g of R600a refrigerant inside the appliance. The amount of refrigerant in
your particular appliance is shown on the identification plate inside the appliance.
SEVERE WARNING SIGNS FOR INSTALLATION
• Do not install the refrigerator in a damp place or place where it may come in
contact with water.
- Deteriorated insulation of electrical parts may cause an electric shock or fire.
• Do not place this refrigerator in direct sunlight or expose to the heat from
stoves, room heaters or other appliance.
• Do not plug several appliances into the same multiple power board.
The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual electrical
which has a voltage rating that matched the rating plate.
- This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house
wiring circuits, which could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.
• If the wall socket is loose, do not insert the power plug.
- There is a risk of electric shock of fire.
• Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at
either end.
• Do not bend the power cord excessively or place heavy articles on it.
• Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grip plug
firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.
- Damage to the cord may cause short-circuit, fire and/or electric shock.
• Do not use aerosols near the refrigerator.
- Aerosols used near the refrigerator may cause an explosion or fire.
