Safety Instructions

If this appliance is to replace an old refrigerator with a lock; break or 
remove the lock as a safety measure before storing it, to protect children 
from locking themselves inside.

Old refrigerators and freezers contain insulation gases and refrigerant, 

which must be disposed of properly. Entrust the disposal of a scrap unit 
categorically to the competence of your local waste disposal service and 
contact your local authority or your dealer if you have any questions. 

Please ensure that the gas pipe at the rear of your appliance does not get 
damaged prior to being picked-up by the relevant waste disposal service.

This model contains R600a refrigerant (the coolant isobutane), a natural gas 
that is very environmentally friendly but also combustible. When 
transporting and installing the unit care must be taken to ensure that none 
of the refrigeration circuit components become damaged. In the event of 
damage avoid any naked flames or any sources of ignition and ventilate the 
room in which the unit is placed for a few minutes.

Warning: 

Keep the ventilation openings in the appliance enclosure, clear of 

obstruction.

Electrical Safety

THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE PLUGGED INTO AN EARTHED SOCKET

Before switching on, make sure that the voltage of your electricity supply is the same 
as that indicated on the rating plate. This product is designed to operate on 220 –
240V AC; 50Hz, 120 W, 1A. Connection to any other power source may damage the 
unit.
This product may be fitted with a non re-wireable plug. If it is necessary to change the 
fuse in the plug, the fuse cover must be refitted. If the fuse cover becomes lost or 
damaged, the plug must not be used until a suitable replacement is obtained.
If the plug has to be changed because it is not suitable for your socket, or becomes 
damaged in any way, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted following the 
wiring instructions below. This should be carried out by a qualified electrician. The plug 
removed must be disposed of safely, as insertion into a 13 Amp socket is likely to 
cause an electrical hazard.
