Connecting the appliance to
the power supply
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,
–
it makes unfamiliar noises.
In such cases, remove the mains plug
from the socket or unscrew/isolate the
fuse and contact our service depart-
ment (see page EN-42).
■
Do not connect to a timer or a sepa-
rate remote-controlled system for dis-
tance monitoring and control.
■
If the mains plug is no longer acces-
sible after installation, an all-pole dis-
connecting device complying with
overvoltage category III must be
connected to the house wiring with a
contact gap of at least 3 mm; this in-
cludes fuses, circuit breakers and con-
tactors.
Do not kink or pinch the mains cable or
lay it over sharp edges. This can result
in a break in the cable.
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 refrigerator has been transported
horizontally, lubricant from the com-
pressor may get into the cooling circuit.
■
If possible, do not tilt the refrigerator
horizontally.
■
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 acces-
sible socket (220–240 V~/50 Hz).
When you open one of the appliance doors,
the interior of the appliance is lit up.
You will find all important information
about operation from page EN-14.
