INSTALLATION

to the mains voltage in your home and that the socket is fitted
with a standard earthing wire in accordance with safety stand-
ards for 46/90 systems. If the socket is not fitted with an
earthing wire, the manufacturer will not be held liable for any
damages and/or injuries arising out of the use of the
appliance. Do not use multiple sockets or adapters.
Position the appliance in such a way that you can access
the socket where it is plugged in.

Insufficient power?

The electrical socket must be able to handle the maximum
power load of the appliance, which is indicated on the rating
plate located at the bottom left next to the vegetable crisper.

Before making the electrical connection ...

After the appliance has been delivered, place it in the vertical
upright position and wait at least 3 hours before inserting the
plug into the socket in order to ensure that it functions
properly.

ATTENTION
Read your manual carefully since it contains instructions
which will ensure safe installation, use and maintenance of
your appliance.
Your Refrigerator is built to International safety standards
(EN60) and has been awarded the European approval mark
(IMQ) for compliance with UK electrical safety requirements.
It also meets the EC standards on the prevention and elimi-
nation of radio interference (EC directive 87/308 - 02.06.89).

PRODUCT SAFETY

1. This appliance must not be installed outdoors - not even
in an area protected by a roof. It is extremely dangerous to
leave it exposed to rain or storms.
2. It must only be used by adults and exclusively to refriger-
ate and freeze foodstuffs, following the instructions for use
contained in this manual.
3. Do not ever touch or handle the appliance with bare feet
or with wet hands or feet.
4. It is highly recommended that you do not use extension
cords or multiple socket adapters. If the refrigerator is installed
between cabinets, make sure that the cord is not bent or
dangerously pinched or compressed.

from the wall socket - this is very dangerous.
6. Never touch the cooling components within the appliance,
especially with wet hands because this could result in injury.
7. Never put ice cubes just removed from the freezer into your
mouth because they could stick to your mouth and cause
burns.
