Installation

Your appliance is supplied with a 13amp fused plug that 
can be plugged into a 13amp socket for immediate use.  
Before using the appliance please read the instructions 
below.

WARNING: 
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.

Replacing fuse covers:

When replacing a faulty fuse, a 13amp ASTA approved 
fuse to BS 1362 should always be used and the fuse 
cover re-fitted.
If the fuse cover is lost, the plug must not be used until a 
replacement is obtained.

Replacement fuse covers:

If a replacement fuse cover is fitted, it must be of the 
correct colour as indicated by the coloured marking or the 
colour that is embossed in words on the base of the plug.

Changing the plug:

Removing the plug

If your appliance has a non-rewireable moulded plug and 
you should wish to remove it to add a longer cable or 
to re-route the mains cable through partitions, units etc. 
please ensure that either:
-  The plug is replaced by a fused 13amp re- 

 

wireable plug bearing the BSI mark of  

 

 approval.

or
-  The mains cable is wired directly into a  

 

 

13amp cable outlet, controlled by a  

 

 

switch (in compliance with BS 5733)  

 

 

which is accessible without moving the    

 appliance.

Disposing of the plug

Cut off and dispose of the supplied plug if it does not 
fit your socket. The cable should be cut as close as 
possible to the moulded plug.
Remove the fuse.

WARNING: 
To avoid a shock hazard do not insert the discarded 
plug into a socket anywhere else.

!

 

Before placing your new appliance into operation please 

read these operating instructions carefully. They contain 
important information for safe use, for installation and for 
care of the appliance.

!

 

Please keep these operating instructions for future 

reference. Pass them on to possible new owners of the 
appliance.

Positioning and connection

Positioning

1. Place the appliance in a well-ventilated humidity-free 

room.

2. Do not obstruct the rear fan grills. The compressor and 

condenser give off heat and require good ventilation to 
operate correctly and save energy.

3. Leave a space of at least 10 cm between the top part of 

the appliance and any furniture above it, and at least 5 cm 
between the sides and any furniture/side walls.

4. Ensure the appliance is away from any sources of heat 

(direct sunlight, electric stove, etc.).

5. In order to maintain the correct distance between the 

appliance and the wall behind it, fit the spacers supplied 
in the installation kit, following the instructions provided.

Levelling

1. Install the appliance on a level and rigid floor.
2. If the floor is not perfectly horizontal, make the necessary 

adjustments by tightening or loosening the single foot at 
the front of the appliance.

Electrical connections

After the appliance has been transported, carefully place it 
vertically and wait at least 3 hours before connecting it to the 
electricity mains. Before inserting the plug into the electrical 
socket ensure the following:

•   The appliance is earthed and the plug is compliant with 

the law.

•   The socket can withstand the maximum power of the 

appliance, which is indicated on the data plate located on 
the bottom left side of the fridge (e.g. 150 W).

•   The voltage must be in the range between the values 

indicated on the data plate located on the bottom left side 
(e.g. 220-240V).

•   The socket is compatible with the plug of the appliance. 

  If the socket is incompatible with the plug, ask an 

authorised technician to replace it (see Assistance). Do 

not use extension cords or multiple sockets.

!

 

Once the appliance has been installed, the power supply 

cable and the electrical socket must be easily accessible.

!

 

The cable must not be bent or compressed.

!

 

The cable must be checked regularly and replaced by 

authorised technicians only (see Assistance).

!

 The manufacturer declines any liability should these 

safety measures not be observed.
