Safety for children and others who are vulnerable

  • According to EN standard
    This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been supervised or instructed in how to use the appliance safely and understand the hazards involved. Children must not be allowed to play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance must not be carried out by children without supervision.

  • According to IEC standard
    This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been supervised or instructed in how to use the appliance safely by a person responsible for their safety.

  • Keep all packaging away from children as there is risk of suffocation. If you are discarding the appliance, pull the plug out of the socket, cut the power cord (as close to the appliance as you can) and remove the door to prevent playing children from suffering an electric shock or from trapping themselves inside it.

  • If this appliance will replace an older appliance that has a spring lock (latch) on the door or lid, make sure the spring lock is disabled before you discard the old appliance. This will prevent it from becoming a death trap for a child.

General safety

  • WARNING — This appliance is intended to be used in household and similar applications such as
    – staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working environments;
    – farm houses and by clients in hotels, motels and other residential environments;
    – bed and breakfast environments;
    – catering and similar non-retail applications.

  • WARNING — Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with a flammable propellant in this appliance. WARNING — If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, the manufacturer’s service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

  • WARNING — Keep ventilation openings in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure clear of obstruction. WARNING — Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.

  • WARNING — Do not damage the refrigerant circuit. WARNING — Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the appliance, unless they are of the type recommended by the manufacturer.

  • WARNING — The refrigerant and insulation blowing gas are flammable. When disposing of the appliance, do so only at an authorized waste disposal centre. Do not expose to flame.

  • WARNING — When positioning the appliance, ensure the power cord is not trapped or damaged.

  • WARNING — Do not locate multiple portable socket-outlets or portable power supplies at the rear of the appliance.

Replacing the interior lights

  • WARNING — The interior lights must not be replaced by the user! If an interior light is damaged, contact the customer helpline for assistance.

This warning is only for refrigerators that contain interior lights.

Refrigerant

The refrigerant circuit of the appliance contains isobutene (R600a), a natural gas with a high level of environmental compatibility, which is nevertheless flammable. During transportation and installation of the appliance, ensure that none of the components of the refrigerant circuit becomes damaged. The refrigerant (R600a) is flammable.

WARNING — Refrigerators contain refrigerant and gases in the insulation. Refrigerant and gases must be disposed of professionally as they may cause eye injuries or ignition. Ensure that the refrigerant circuit tubing is not damaged prior to proper disposal.

WARNING: Risk of fire / flammable materials

If the refrigerant circuit is damaged:
– Avoid opening flames and sources of ignition.
– Thoroughly ventilate the room in which the appliance is situated.

It is dangerous to alter the specifications or modify this product in any way. Any damage to the power cord may cause a short circuit, fire, and/or electric shock.

Electrical safety

  1. The power cord must not be lengthened.
  2. Make sure that the power plug is not crushed or damaged. A crushed or damaged power plug may overheat and cause a fire.
  3. Make sure that you can access the main plug of the appliance.
  4. Do not pull the power cord.
  5. If the power socket is loose, do not insert the plug. There is a risk of electric shock or fire.
  6. You must not operate the appliance without the interior light cover in place.
  7. The fridge should only be supplied with power from a single-phase alternating current supply of 220~240 V / 50 Hz. If local voltage fluctuations are so large that the voltage exceeds the above range, for reasons of safety you should install an automatic voltage regulator rated at more than 350W to supply the fridge. The fridge must have its own power socket; it must not share one with other electric appliances. Its plug must match the socket with ground wire.

  • If the diagram shows the correct combination for the drawers, crisper and shelves, do not adjust the combination as this is designed to be the most energy-efficient configuration.
Hints for fresh food refrigeration
  • Do not place hot food directly into the refrigerator, the internal temperature will increase resulting in the compressor having to work harder and consuming more energy.
  • Do cover or wrap food, particularly if it has a strong flavour.
  • Place food properly so that air can circulate freely around it.
Hints for refrigeration
  • Meat (all types) wrap in polythene food wrap and place on the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer. Always follow food storage times and use by dates recommended by manufacturer.

CLEANING AND CARE

For hygienic reasons the appliance (including exterior and interior accessories) should be cleaned regularly at least every two months. Caution! The appliance must be unplugged before cleaning. Danger of electrical shock! Before cleaning switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the power socket.

Exterior cleaning

To maintain the good appearance of your appliance, you should clean it regularly.

  • Wipe the digital panel and display panel with a clean, soft cloth.
  • Spray water onto the cleaning cloth instead of spraying directly on the surface of the appliance.This helps ensure an even distribution of moisture to the surface.
  • Clean the door, handle and cabinet surfaces with a mild detergent and then wipe dry with a soft cloth.

Caution!

  • Don’t use sharp objects as they are likely to scratch the surface.
  • Don’t use thinner, car detergent, chlorinated detergent, essential oils, abrasive cleansers or organic solvents such as benzene for cleaning. They may damage the surface of the appliance and may cause fire.

Interior cleaning

You should clean the interior of the appliance regularly. It will be easier to clean when food stocks are low.

  • Wipe the inside of the fridge with a weak solution of bicarbonate of soda, and then rinse with warm water using a wrung-out sponge or cloth.

  • Wipe completely dry before replacing the shelves and baskets. Thoroughly dry all surfaces and removable parts.
    Although this appliance automatically defrosts, a layer of frost may occur on the refrigerator’s interior walls if the door is opened frequently or kept open for too long. If the frost is too thick, choose a time when the supply of food stocks are low and proceed as follows:

  • Remove existing food and accessory baskets, unplug the appliance from the power socket and leave the door open. Ventilate the room thoroughly to accelerate the thawing process.

Caution!

Don’t use sharp objects to remove frost from the refrigerator. Only after the interior is completely dry should the appliance be switched back on and plugged back into the power socket.

Door seal cleaning

Take care to keep door seals clean. Sticky food and drinks can cause seals to stick to the cabinet and tear when you open the door. Wash seal with a mild detergent and warm water. Rinse and dry it thoroughly after cleaning.
Caution! Only after the door seals are completely dry should the appliance be powered on.
