Electrical connection
Risk of electric shock!
The appliance must only be switched
on when it has been installed in ac-
cordance with the installation in-
structions.
Ground the appliance.
The appliance must not be grounded
via a gas pipe.
If in doubt, have a suitably qualified
and experienced electrician check
that the installation complies with rel-
evant regulations.
Do not install a fuse into neutral cur-
rent or grounding electrical circuit.
Do not use extension cords or un-
grounded (two prong) adapters.
Do not use a frayed or damaged
power cord.
Risk of electric shock!
For protection against electric shock,
this appliance is equipped with a
pole-free plug which is protected
against reverse polarity. The electri-
cal outlet must be properly
grounded.
Do not remove the round grounding
connector pin from the plug.
Use only a grounded plug adapter.
Wait for 1 hour after installation before
plugging the appliance into the power
supply. This allows coolant and refriger-
ator oil to settle in accordance with reg-
ulations.
Ensure that the voltage of the power
supply corresponds with the connection
voltage of the appliance. A power sup-
ply of 110–120 V, 60 Hz and 10–
16 Amp, which is protected by a power
switch or a fuse, is required to operate
the appliance.
The manufacturer recommends operat-
ing the appliance on a dedicated circuit
to avoid overloading the electrical cir-
cuit.
All relevant legal electrical, fire, and
building regulations must be observed
when installing the electrical outlet and/
or the appliance.
In certain countries, appliances are re-
quired to be connected to the electrical
supply via a wall-mounted ON/OFF
switch.
To avoid the risk of fire, electric shock,
or other injuries, the appliance must be
installed and connected by a suitably
qualified electrician in accordance with
all relevant local and national regula-
tions and standards, including fire pre-
vention.
The socket must not be concealed be-
hind the appliance and must be easily
accessible so that the appliance can be
quickly disconnected from the electrical
supply in case of an emergency.
