Authorisation or Licence for hydrocarbon refrigerants, to carry out Servicing or repairs which involve the removal of covers. (For Australia only)

• When disposing of this or other refrigerator/s, remove the door/door seals, door latch so that children or animals cannot become trapped inside. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not enter and play with the appliance.

- If trapped inside, the child may become injury and suffocate to death.

• Please dispose of the packaging material for this product in an environmentally friendly manner.

• Keep all packaging materials well out of the reach of children, as packaging materials can be dangerous to children.

- If a child places a bag over its head, it may result in suffocation.

ADDITIONAL TIPS FOR

PROPER USAGE

• In the event of a power failure, call the local office of your

Electricity Company and ask how long it is going to last.

- Most power failures that are corrected within an hour or two will not affect your refrigerator temperatures.

However, you should minimize the number of door openings while the power is off.

- But should the power failure last more than 24 hours, remove all frozen food.

• If keys are provided with the refrigerator, the keys should be kept out of the reach of children and not be in the vicinity of the appliance.

• The appliance might not operate consistently (possibility of defrosting of contents or temperature becoming too warm in the frozen food compartment) when sited for an extended period of time below the cold end of the range of temperature for which the refrigerating appliance is designed.

safety information _13

DA68-02836F-06.indd 13 14. 8. 6. �� 7:46

• Do not store food which goes bad easily at low temperature, such as bananas, melons.

• Your appliance is frost free, which means there is no need to manually defrost your appliance, as this will be carried out automatically.

• Temperature rise during defrosting can comply with

ISO requirements.

But if you want to prevent an undue rise in the temperature of the frozen food while defrosting the appliance, please wrap the frozen food up in several layers of newspaper.

• Any increase in temperature of frozen food during defrosting can shorten its storage life.

• Do not re-freeze frozen foods that have thawed completely.

Saving Energy Tips

- Install the appliance in a cool, dry room with adequate ventilation.

Ensure that it is not exposed to direct sunlight and never put it near a direct source of heat

(radiator, for example).

- Never block any vents or grilles on the appliance.

- Allow warm food to cool down before placing it in the appliance.

- Put frozen food in the refrigerator to thaw.

You can then use the low temperatures of the frozen products to cool food in the refrigerator.

- Do not keep the door of the appliance open for too long when putting food in or taking food out. The shorter time for which the door is open, the less ice will form in the freezer.

- Allow clearance to the right, left, back and top when installing.

This will help reduce power consumption and keep your energy bills lower.

- For the most efficient use of energy, please keep the all inner fittings such as

14_ safety information

baskets, drawers, shelves on the position supplied by manufacturer.

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 type environments;

- bed and breakfast type environments;

- catering and similar non-retail applications.

HOW TO ADJUST THE DOOR

HEIGHT

If any one of the doors is lower than the other:

• Check if the Refrigerator is level before adjusting the door.

• Adjust the door height difference by inserting a Snap Ring ( 1 ) as shown between the door and the hinge. You can use the rings on the right side door of the fresh food compartment and both sides of the freezer compartment.

HOW TO ADJUST THE DOOR GAP

If the gap between the left and right fridge compartment doors is not even.

• You can adjust the gap by turning the bolt at the top right of the cold storage compartment door.

• Do not turn the bolt too far. You can break it.

1. With the doors closed, remove the 3 screws holding the top cover using a Phillips screwdriver, and then lift it off together with the connected cables.

1

• After checking the height difference, select one

Snap Ring with a suitable thickness. Insert one

Snap Ring only, Inserting two or more Snap

Rings may cause the Snap Rings to slip out or make a rubbing noise.

• Lift up the lower door and insert the Snap

Ring into the space between the Door and the

Hinge.

2. Turn the bolt with a 4 mm hexagonal L-wrench to adjust the gap. (Not provided)

CAUTION

• To avoid injury, insert or remove Snap

Rings carefully.

• Keep the Snap Rings out of the reach of children and make sure that children do not play with them or put them into their mouths.

• 1 mm, 1.5 mm, 2 mm, and 2.5 mm Snap

Rings come with the Refrigerator.

• If the Refrigerator is level before you load it with food, the Refrigerator may become unbalanced due to the weight of the food. If this occurs, adjust the level again using the same procedure.

• If you raise the door too far, it can rub against the Top Cover.

3. Turn the bolt clockwise to ( ) widen the gap.

Turn the bolt counter clockwise ( ) to narrow the gap.

FEATURES OF THE BACTERIA

SAFE IONIZER (OPTIONAL)

• Each time you open and close the refrigerator door, invisible airborne germs make their way inside your refrigerator.

These germs attach themselves to the walls and surfaces inside the refrigerator and even float around inside the refrigerator.

Bacteria Safe Ionizer, which features advanced

SPi - 2 (Super Plasma Ion ll) technology, eliminates these germs effectively.

• Bacteria Safe Ionizer also features a solar power deodorizer with more than twice the standard deodorization power. Bacteria Safe Ionizer can be used semi-permanently without the need to replace or clean its parts.

PROBLEM

The refrigerator does not work at all or it does not chill sufficiently.

The food in the fridge is frozen.

You hear unusual noise or sounds.

The cabinet-door sealing area of the appliance is hot and condensation is occurring.

You can hear water bubbling in the refrigerator.

There is a bad smell in the refrigerator.

Frost forms on the walls of the freezer.

SOLUTION

• Check that the power plug is properly connected.

• Check if the set temperature on the digital display is warmer than the freezer or fridge inner temperature. If it is, set the freezer or fridge to a colder temperature.

• Is the refrigerator in direct sunlight or located near a heat source?

• Is the back of the refrigerator too close to the wall, preventing proper ventilation?

• Check if the set temperature on the digital display is too low.

• Try setting the refrigerator to a warmer temperature.

• Is the temperature in the room too low? Set the refrigerator warmer.

• Did you store the food which is juicy in the coldest part of the refrigerator? Try moving those items to the other shelves in fridge instead of keeping them in the colder areas or bins.

• Check that the refrigerator is level and stable.

• Is the back of the refrigerator too close to the wall, preventing proper ventilation?

Try moving the back of the refrigerator at least 50 mm from the wall.

• Was anything dropped behind or under the refrigerator?

• A “ticking” sound is heard from inside the refrigerator. It is normal and occurs because various accessories are contracting or expanding in response to temperature changes in the refrigerator interior.

• If it sounds as if something is hitting something else inside the refrigerator, this is normal. The sound is caused by the compressor operating at high capacity.

• Some heat is normal as anti-condensators are installed in the vertical hinged section of the refrigerator to prevent condensation.

• Is the refrigerator door ajar? Condensation can occur when you leave the door open for a long time.

• This is normal. The bubbling comes from refrigerant circulating through the refrigerator.

• Check for spoiled food.

• Foods with strong odors (for example, fish) should be tightly covered.

• Clean out your freezer periodically and throw away any spoiled or suspicious food.

• Is the air vent blocked? Remove any obstructions so air can circulate freely.

• Allow sufficient space between the stored food for efficient air circulation.

• Is the freezer drawer closed properly?
