Connecting the appliance
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,
–
it starts smoking or there is a smell
of burning,
–
it makes unfamiliar noises.
In such cases, pull out the mains plug
or unscrew/isolate the fuse and con-
tact our service department (see page
GB-31).
■
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 cord
or lay it over sharp edges. This can re-
sult in a break in the cable.
CAUTION
Fire hazard!
Improper handling of the appliance
can lead to fi re and property damage.
■
Only connect the appliance 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 cooling unit has been transport-
ed horizontally, lubricant from the com-
pressor may get into the cooling circuit.
■
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 the door is open, the interior light-
ing (1) will now be switched on.
You will find all important information
about operation from page GB-11.
