appliances, clean the appliance before us-
ing it (see “Care and maintenance” on page
EN-14).
Connecting 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
and contact our service department
(see page EN-23).
■
Do not connect to a timer or a sepa-
rate remote-controlled system for dis-
tance monitoring and control.
■
Do not kink or pinch the mains cord
or lay it over sharp edges. This can re-
sult in a break in the cord.
CAUTION
Fire hazard!
Improper handling of the appliance can
lead to fi re 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 fl ow
back into the compressor.
• Insert the mains plug into an easily ac-
cessible and properly installed socket
(220–240 V~ / 50 Hz).
The temperature indicator (12) will light
up. The appliance is switched on.
You will find all important information
about operation from page EN-10.
