Getting Started

Wipe the appliance inside and outside using a cloth dampened with warm water and a small amount of detergent.
Before plugging in for the first time, allow the refrigerator to stabilize for at least one hour. Allow the freezer compartment to cool for 2 to 3 hours before storing food.

INSTALLATION

Install this refrigerator on a firm, flat surface.
Avoid locations affected by draughts or dampness.
For optimum operation, normal room temperature is recommended. Avoid locations in direct sunlight, near heaters, radiators, stoves or ovens.
Allow a 50mm space between the refrigerator and the wall. If your refrigerator is going into a recessed area, allow at least 300mm clearance above the refrigerator.
For personal safety, properly ground this appliance. Do not ground this refrigerator with a telephone line, gas pipe, etc.

CAUTIONS WHILE USING

- Do not allow water to splash onto the refrigerator. - Water impairs the insulation of electric parts and may cause an electrical shock or a fire hazard.
- Do not use flammable sprays such as lacquer and paint near the refrigerator. - Heat from the refrigeration unit may ignite flammable aerosols.
- Do not allow unattended children to play in or around refrigerators and other large appliances. The child may get hurt or they could damage the appliance. - Do not allow children to hang on to the refrigerator door.
- For optimum operation, do not leave the door open for any longer than necessary. - Leaving the door open allows warmer air to enter the refrigerator and causes the refrigeration unit to use more energy to maintain the temperature.
- Do not store volatile chemicals such as ether and benzene in the refrigerator. - The fumes, besides damaging food, can build up and cause an explosion.
- Do not use the refrigerator if it is not operating correctly or has been damaged. Disconnect it from the power supply and call your local service center. - If the power cord is damaged, avoid a hazard by replacing it through the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person.

- Always be careful of not banging your head on the bracket lock while storing or taking out food.
