Installation

!

Before placing your new appliance into operation please

read these operating instructions carefully. They contain

important information for safe use, for installation and for care

of the appliance.

!

Please keep these operating instructions for future

reference. Pass them on to possible new owners of the

appliance.

Positioning and connection

Positioning

1. Place the appliance in a well-ventilated humidity-free room.

2. Do not obstruct the rear fan grills. The compressor and

condenser give off heat and require good ventilation to

operate correctly and save energy.

3. Leave a space of at least 10 cm between the top part of

the appliance and any furniture above it, and at least 5 cm

between the sides and any furniture/side walls.

4. Ensure the appliance is away from any sources of heat

(direct sunlight, electric stove, etc.).

5. In order to maintain the correct distance between the

appliance and the wall behind it, fit the spacers supplied in

the installation kit, following the instructions provided.

Levelling

1. Install the appliance on a level and rigid floor.

2. If the floor is not perfectly horizontal, adjust the refrigerator

by tightening or loosening the rear feet.

Electrical connections

After the appliance has been transported, carefully place it

vertically and wait at least 3 hours before connecting it to the

electricity mains. Before inserting the plug into the electrical

socket ensure the following:

• The appliance is earthed and the plug is compliant with the

law.

• The socket can withstand the maximum power of the

appliance, which is indicated on the data plate located on

the bottom left side of the fridge (e.g. 150 W).

• The voltage must be in the range between the values

indicated on the data plate located on the bottom left side

(e.g. 220-240V).

• The socket is compatible with the plug of the appliance.

If the socket is incompatible with the plug, ask an

authorised technician to replace it (

see Assistance

). Do not

use extension cords or multiple sockets.

!

Once the appliance has been installed, the power supply

cable and the electrical socket must be easily accessible.

! 

The cable must not be bent or compressed.

!

The cable must be checked regularly and replaced by

authorised technicians only (see Assistance).

!

The manufacturer declines any liability should these

safety measures not be observed.

Your appliance is supplied with a 13amp fused plug that

can be plugged into a 13amp socket for immediate use.

Before using the appliance please read the instructions

below.

WARNING:

THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.

Replacing fuse covers:

When replacing a faulty fuse, a 13amp ASTA approved

fuse to BS 1362 should always be used and the fuse

cover re-fitted.

If the fuse cover is lost, the plug must not be used until a

replacement is obtained.

Replacement fuse covers:

If a replacement fuse cover is fitted, it must be of the

correct colour as indicated by the coloured marking or the

colour that is embossed in words on the base of the plug.

Changing the plug:

Removing the plug

If your appliance has a non-rewireable moulded plug and

you should wish to remove it to add a longer cable or to

re-route the mains cable through partitions, units etc.

please ensure that either:

- The plug is replaced by a fused 13amp re-

wireable plug bearing the BSI mark of approval.

or

- The mains cable is wired directly into a 13amp cable

outlet, controlled by a

switch (in compliance with BS

5733) which is accessible without moving the

appliance.

Disposing of the plug

Cut off and dispose of the supplied plug if it does not fit

your socket. The cable should be cut as close as possible

to the moulded plug.

Remove the fuse.

WARNING:

To avoid a shock hazard do not insert the discarded

plug into a socket anywhere else.
