Installation

!

 Before operating your new appliance, please read

these operating instructions carefully. They contain

important information for safe use, installation and 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 far away from any sources of

heat (direct sunlight, electric stove, etc.).

Electrical connections

After transportation of the appliance, 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.

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.
