Installation

! 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.Ensure the appliance is away from any sources of heat (direct 
sunlight, electric stove, etc.).

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.

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.
