IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
ENERGY
Refrigeration appliances might not operate consistently
(defrosting of contents or temperature becoming too warm
in the freezer compartment) when set for an extended pe-
riod of time below the cold end of the range of tempera-
tures for which the refrigeration appliance is designed.
Carbonated drinks should not be stored in the freezer
compartment or in low temperature compartments or cabi-
nets. Some products such as water ice cubes should not
be consumed too cold.
Do not exceed the storage times recommended by the
food manufacturer for any kind of food and particularly for
commercially quick-frozen food in the freezer compart-
ment.
DISPOSAL
The refrigerant and cyclopentane foaming material used
for the refrigerator are flammable. Therefore, when the re-
frigerator is disposed of, it shall be kept away from any
source of fire and it must be recovered by a special recov-
ering company with corresponding qualification other than
be disposed by combustion, so as to prevent damage to
the environment or any other harm.
When dsiposing of the refrigerator, remove doors, and
gaskets from doors and shelves; put the doors and shelves
in a proper place, so as to prevent children getting trapped
inside the appliance.
Take the necessary precautions to prevent an undue rise
in the temperature of frozen food while defrosting the appli-
ance, such as wrapping the frozen food in several layers of
newspaper.
An accidental rise in temperature of frozen food during
manual defrosting, maintenance or cleaning will shorten its
storage life.
For doors or lids fitted with locks and keys, the keys should
be kept out of the reach of children and not in the vicinity
of the refrigerator, in order to prevent children from being
locked inside.
Correct disposal of this product:
This mark indicates that this product should not be
disposed with other household wastes throughout
the E.U. To prevent possible harm to the environ-
ment or human health from uncontrolled waste, re-
cycle it responsibly to promote the sustainable re-
use of material resources. To return your used de-
vice, please use the return and collection systems
or contact the retailer where the product was pur-
chased. They can take this product for environ-
mental safe recycling.
KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Energy saving tips
The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the
room, away from heat producing appliances or heating ducts,
and out of the direct sunlight.
Let hot foods cool down to room temperature before placing
them into the appliance. Overloading the refrigerator forces
the compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly
may lose quality, or spoil.
Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry be-
fore placing them in the appliance. This cuts down on frost
build-up inside the appliance.
Appliance storage bins should not be lined with aluminum
foil, wax paper, or paper towels. Liners interfere with cold air
circulation, making the appliance less efficient.
Organize and label food to reduce door openings and ex-
tended searches. Remove as many items as needed at
once, and close the door as soon as possible.

larly removed to improve cooling and energy saving.
Check the door gasket regularly to make sure there are no
debris. Clean the door gasket with a soft cloth dampened
with soapy water or diluted detergent.
The interior of the refrigerator should be cleaned regularly to
avoid odor formation.
Turn off the power before cleaning the interior, remove all
foods, drinks, shelves, drawers, etc.
Use a soft cloth or sponge to clean the inside of the refrigera-
tor with a solution made with warm water and two table-
spoons of baking soda, about a quart of warm water. Then
rinse with clear water and wipe clean. After cleaning, open
the doors and let dry naturally before turning on the power.
For areas that are difficult to clean (such as narrow gaps or
corners), it is recommended to wipe them regularly with a soft
cloth, soft brush, etc. and when necessary, combined with
auxiliary tools (such as thin sticks) to ensure no contaminants
or bacteria accumulation in these areas.

Power failure: In case of power failure, even during summer,
foods inside the appliance can be kept for several hours; during
the power failure. The number of door openings should be re-
duced, and no more fresh food should be placed into the appli-
ance.
Long-time nonuse: The appliance should be unplugged and
then cleaned; then leave the doors open to prevent odors.
Defrosting
The refrigerator was designed based on the air-cooling prin-
ciple and thus has an automatic defrosting function. Frost
formed due to change of season or temperature may also be
manually removed by unplugging the appliance from power
supply or by wiping with a dry towel.
Out of operation
Moving: Before the refrigerator is moved, take all items out, fix
the glass shelves, vegetable holder, freezer compartment draw-
ers, etc. with tape. Tighten the leveling legs; close the doors
and fix them with tape. During moving, the appliance shall not
be laid upside down or horizontally, or be vibrated; the inclina-
tion during moving should be no more than 45°.
