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.

• 

Place your fridge freezer where it will not 

be exposed to direct sunlight.

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.

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
