1.2 Installation warnings

Before using your fridge freezer for the first 

time, please pay attention to the following 

points:

• 

The operating voltage for your fridge 

freezer is 220-240 V at 50Hz.

• 

The plug must be accessible after 

installation.

• 

Your fridge freezer may have an odour 

when it is operated for the first time. This 

is normal and the odour will fade when 

your fridge freezer starts to cool. 

• 

Before connecting your fridge freezer, 

ensure that the information on the data 

plate (voltage and connected load) 

matches that of the mains electricity 

supply. If in doubt, consult a qualified 

electrician.

• 

Insert the plug into a socket with an 

efficient ground connection. If the socket 

has no ground contact or the plug does 

not match, we recommend you consult a 

qualified electrician for assistance.

• 

The appliance must be connected 

with a properly installed fused socket. 

The power supply (AC) and voltage at 

the operating point must match with 

the details on the name plate of the 

appliance (the name plate is located on 

the inside left of the appliance).

We do not accept responsibility for any 

damages that occur due to ungrounded 

usage.

away from stoves, gas ovens and heater 

cores, and at least 5 cm away from

• 

If your fridge freezer is placed next to a 

deep freezer, there must be at least 2 

cm between them to prevent humidity 

forming on the outer surface.

• 

Do not cover the body or top of fridge 

freezer with lace. This will affect the

sure your appliance is level and stable. 

You can adjust the legs by turning them 

in either direction. This must be done 

before placing food in the appliance.

• 

Install the two plastic distance guides (the 

parts on the black vanes 

-condenser- at the rear) 

by turning it 90° (as 

shown in the figure) to
