Installing your chest freezer

Bringing it all together

Electrical connection 

Any electrical work that is required to 

install this appliance MUST be carried out by 

a qualified electrician. 

Warning: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE 

EARTHED 

Before making any electrical connections, 

ensure that: 

 Electrical safety is only guaranteed when the 

earth system of your house is in accordance 

with the related local regulations. 

 Do not damage the refrigerant circuit. 

 Do not bend, stretch or pull the supply cable to 

avoid electric shock. 

 Do not use electrical appliances inside the 

food storage compartments of the appliance, 

unless they are of the type recommended by 

the manufacturer. 

 Ensure the power socket is suitable for the 

maximum power of the machine (fuses in the 

power circuit must be 13 amp). 

 The supply voltage should be the same as that 

indicated in the technical specifications and 

the appliance rating plate. 

 The appliance should be earthed and in 

compliance with the applicable law. 

 When installed, the power socket must be 

within easy reach. 

 If the socket outlets in your home are not 

suitable for the plug supplied with this unit 

check with a qualified electrician for 

replacement.

 The use of adapters, multiple connectors or 

extension cables are not recommended. 

 The appliance must be connected to a 220-

240 volt 50Hz AC supply by means of a three 

pin socket, suitably earthed and protected by a 

13 amp fuse. 

 Should the fuse need to be replaced, a 13 

amp fuse approved to BS1362/A must be used. 

 The plug contains a removable fuse cover that 

must be refitted when the fuse is replaced. If 

the fuse cover is lost or damaged, the plug 

must not be used until a replacement cover 

has been fitted or the plug is replaced. 

 A damaged plug should be cut off as close to 

the plug body as possible, the fuse should be 

removed and the plug disposed of safely. 

Plug replacement (UK & Ireland only) 

Should you need to replace the plug; 

The wires in the power cable are coloured 

in the following way:

Blue – Neutral ‘N’ 

Brown – Live ‘L’ 

Green & Yellow – Earth ‘E’ 

As the colours of the wires in the power cable 

may not correspond with the coloured markings 

identifying the terminals in your plug, and 

proceed as follows:

The green & yellow wire must be connected to 

the terminal in the plug that is marked with the 

letter E or by the earth symbol. 

The blue wire must be connected to the terminal 

that is marked with the letter N. 

The brown wire must be connected to the 

terminal that is marked with the letter L. 

If power supply cord is damaged, it must 

replaced by the manufacturer or its service 

agent or a similar qualified person in order to 

avoid a hazard.
