Commissioning the appliance
WARNING
Risk of electric shock!
Touching live parts may result in severe
injury or death.
■
Do not operate or continue to oper-
ate the appliance if it
–
shows visible signs of damage, e.g.
the power cord is defective,
–
starts smoking or there is a smell of
burning,
–
makes unfamiliar noises.
In such cases, remove the mains plug
from the socket or unscrew/isolate
the fuse and contact our service de-
partment (see page EN-31).
■
Do not connect to a timer or a sepa-
rate remote-controlled system for dis-
tance monitoring and control.
■
Since all poles of the appliance can-
not be disconnected from the mains
via an accessible disconnecting de-
vice, an all-pole disconnecting device
in accordance with overvoltage cate-
gory III must be connected within the
house installation with at least 3 mm
contact clearance; consult a qualified
professional if necessary (see “Ser-
vice” on page EN-31).
■
Do not kink or pinch the mains cable
or lay it over sharp edges. This can re-
sult in a break in the cable.
CAUTION
Fire hazard!
Improper handling of the appliance can
lead to fire and damage to property.
■
Connect the appliance only to a
properly installed and earthed elec-
tric socket. Do not connect to a mul-
ti-socket extension cable or a mul-
ti-socket plug.
NOTICE
Risk of damage!
If the cooling unit has been transport-
ed horizontally, lubricant from the com-
pressor may get into the cooling circuit.
■
Allow the appliance to stand upright
for approx. 2 hours after transport
and before connecting. This allows
the lubricant enough time to flow
back into the compressor.
• Connect the mains plug to a properly in-
stalled and easily accessible socket (220–
240 V ~ / 50 Hz). The refrigerator light (2)
automatically turns on and off when the
fridge door is opened and closed.
You will find all important information
about operation from page EN-12.
