Electrical Requirements

Before you insert the plug into the wall
socket make sure that the voltage and
the frequency shown on the rating
plate inside the appliance corresponds
to your electricity supply.

Rating label is on the left hand side of
inner liner.

We recommend that this appliance be
connected to the mains supply via a

suitable switched and fused socket.
The appliance must be positioned so
that the plug is accessible.

Should the mains lead of the appliance
become damaged or should it need

replacing at any time, it must be
replaced by a special purpose made
mains lead which can only be obtained
from a BLOMBERG Authorised Service
Agent.

Warning! This Appliance
Must Be Earthed

If the fitted moulded plug is not
suitable for your socket, then the plug
should be cut off and an appropriate
plug fitted. Destroy the old plug which
is cut off as a plug with bared cord
could cause a shock hazard if inserted
into a socket elsewhere in the house.

The moulded plug on this appliance
incorporates a 13 A fuse. Should
the fuse need to be replaced an
ASTABEAB approved BS 1362 fuse
of the same rating must be used. Do
not forget to refit the fuse cover. In the
event of losing the fuse cover the plug
must not be used until a replacement
fuse cover has been fitted. Colour
of the replacement fuse cover must
be the same colour as that visible on
the pin face of the plug. Fuse covers
are available from any good electrical
store.

Important! Fitting A Different Plug

As the colours of the wires in the
mains lead of this appliance may
not correspond with the coloured
markings identifying the terminals in
your plug proceed as follows: (See
diagram).

1. Connect the green-yellow or green
(Earth) wire to the terminal in the plug
marked ‘E’ or with the symbol

or

coloured green and yellow or green.

2. Connect the blue (Neutral) wire to
the terminal in the plug marked ‘N’ or
coloured black.

3. Connect the brown (Live) wire to
the terminal in the plug marked ‘L’ or
coloured red.

4. With alternative plugs a 13 A fuse
must be fitted either in the plug or
adaptor or in the main fuse box. If in
doubt contact a qualified electrician.

Energy Saving Tips

1. Ensure your appliance is installed in a
well ventilated area.

2. Ensure the time between buying
chilled/frozen food and placing
them in your appliance is kept at
minimum, particularly in summer. We
recommend you use a cool bag or a
special carrier bag to carry perishable
food.
