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 front 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.
