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

• In order to avoid the creation of a flammable gasair 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 must be 1 m³ in size for every 8 g of

R-600a refrigerant inside the appliance.

The amount of refrigerant in your particular appliance is shown on the identification plate inside the appliance.

• Refrigerant squirting out of the pipes could ignite or cause an eye injury. When refrigerant leaks from the pipe, avoid any naked flames and move anything flammable away from the product and ventilate the room immediately.

- Failing to do so may result in fire or explosion.

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.

• 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.

English - 15

DA68-02960A (EN)-00.indd 15 13. 11. 29. �� 5:13

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

English - 16 all inner fittings such as baskets, drawers, shelves on the position supplied by manufacturer.

CAUTION

When installing, servicing, or cleaning behind the refrigerator, be sure to pull the unit straight out and push back in straight after finishing.

Also, make sure your floor supports the fullload refrigerator.

Otherwise, it may cause floor damage.

CAUTION

Please tie up the extra length of the power cord at the back of the refrigerator so as not to be touched on the floor preventing the power cord from being crushed by the rollers upon relocation.

LEVELLING THE REFRIGERATOR

To avoid a hazard due to instability of the refrigerator, please place the refrigerator on a horizontal support and levelled in accordance with the following instruction for installation.

FLOORING

For proper installation, this refrigerator must be placed on a level surface of hard material that has the same height as the rest of the flooring.

This surface should be strong enough to support a fully loaded refrigerator.

To protect the floor finish, cut a large section of the cardboard carton and place it under the refrigerator where you are working.

Failing to do so may result in the refrigerator tipping and a personal injury.

If the front of the appliance is slightly higher than the rear, the door can be opened and closed more easily.

Pulling or pushing the refrigerator may damage the floor.

Moving the refrigerator after installation may damage the floor.

Troubleshooting

PROBLEM

The appliance is not operating at all or the temperature is too high.

The food in the refrigerator is frozen.

There are unusual noises.

SOLUTION

• Check that the power plug is correctly connected.

• Is the temperature control on the front panel correctly set?

• Does sun shine on the appliance or are there heat sources nearby?

• Is the back of the appliance too near to the wall?

• Is the temperature control on the front panel set to the coldest temperature?

• Is the surrounding temperature too low?

• Did you store the food with a high water content in the coldest part of the fridge?

• Check that the appliance is installed on a stable, level floor.

• Is the back of the appliance too near to the wall?

• Have any foreign objects fallen behind or under the appliance?

• Is the noise coming from the compressor in the appliance?

• A ticking sound may be heard inside the appliance; this is normal.

This sound occurs when the various accessories contract or expand.

The front corners and sides of the appliance are warm and condensation starts to form.

• Heat-proof pipes are installed in the front corners of the appliance to prevent condensation from forming.

When the surrounding temperature rises, this may not always be effective. However, this is not abnormal.

• In very humid weather, condensation may form on the outer surface of the appliance when the moisture in the air comes into contact with the cool surface of the appliance.

Ice Maker is not producing ice.

Water dispenser is not functioning.

• Did you wait for 12 hours after installation of the refrigerator before making ice?

• Did you manually stop the ice making function?

• Is the freezer temperature too warm? Try setting the freezer temperature lower.

• Is the water tank frozen because the fridge temperature is too low?

Try selecting a warmer setting on the Digital display.

• Did you fill with water in water tank?

• Did you check fitting the water tank correctly ?

You can hear a liquid bubbling in the appliance.

There is a bad smell inside the appliance.

• This is the refrigerant, which cools the inside of the appliance.

• Has a food item spoiled?

• Make sure that strong smelling food (for example, fish) is wrapped so that it is airtight.

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

English - 29

DA68-02960A (EN)-00.indd 29 13. 11. 29. �� 5:14

PROBLEM

There is a layer of frost on the appliance walls.

SOLUTION

• Are the air outlet vents blocked by food stored inside the refrigerator.

• Space the food out as much as possible to improve ventilation.

• Is the door fully closed?

Condensation forms on the inside wall of the appliance and around vegetables.

• Food with a high water content is stored uncovered with a high humidity level or the door has been left open for a long time.

• Store the food with a cover or in sealed containers.

The lamps in the freezer and refrigerator are not turned on.

• The lamps may not be turned back on if the doors of the freezer and refrigerator remain opened side by side for 2 seconds or longer.

Close the doors and then open them again.
