CHAPTER -1: SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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.

•  Place your fridge freezer where it will not be exposed to direct sunlight.

•  Your fridge freezer must never be used outdoors or exposed to rain.

•   Your appliance must be at least 50 cm away from stoves, gas ovens and heater cores, and at least 5 cm away 

from electrical ovens.

•   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 performance of your fridge freezer.

•   Clearance of at least 150 mm is required at the top of your appliance. Do not place anything on top of your 

appliance.

•  Do not place heavy items on the appliance.

•  Clean the appliance thoroughly before use (see Cleaning and Maintenance).

•   Before using your fridge freezer, wipe all parts with a solution of warm water and a teaspoon 

of sodium bicarbonate. Then, rinse with clean water and dry. Return all parts to the fridge 

freezer after cleaning.

•   Use the adjustable front legs to make 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 prevent the condenser from touching the wall.

•  The distance between the appliance and back wall must be a maximum of 75 mm.
