Safety About Electricity
- Unpack the appliance and check for any damage. If damage is evident, do not plug in the appliance but contact the retailer immediately. Keep all packing materials.
- Wait for 4 hours before connecting the appliance to allow the refrigerant to flow back into the compressor.
- The appliance must be supplied with single-phase alternating current of 220~240V/50Hz. If the voltage fluctuates beyond the upper limit, an A.C. automatic voltage regulator of more than 350W should be used for safety.
- The mains plug must be accessible when the appliance is installed.
- This appliance must be earthed. It is fitted with a plug in accordance with local standards.

- Do not use extension cords or multiple sockets, which could cause overloading of wiring circuits and potentially cause a fire.
- Always plug your appliance into its own individual electrical socket that has a voltage rating matching the rating plate.
- Ensure the plug is not squashed or damaged, as this may cause short circuit, electric shock, or overheating, potentially leading to a fire.
- Do not insert the mains plug if the socket is loose, as there is a risk of electric shock or fire.
- Switch off the appliance and disconnect it from the mains power before cleaning or moving it.
- Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the electrical cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the socket to prevent damaging the power cord.
- Do not operate the appliance without the light cover of the interior lighting.
- Any electrical component must be replaced or repaired by a qualified electrician or authorized service engineer. Only genuine spares should be used.
- Do not use electrical appliances such as ice cream makers inside the food storage compartments, unless approved by the manufacturer.
- Do not look directly into the LED light located in the refrigerator compartment with optical instruments to avoid eye injuries. If it is not functioning correctly, consult a qualified, registered electrician or replace it according to the "cleaning and care" chapter.
Refrigerant
