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 yourelectricity supply.

Rating label is on the left hand side of fridge 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.

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.

3- Do not leave the door (s) of your appliance open longer than necessary and ensure they are closed properly after each opening.

4- Defrost frozen food in the fridge compartment, so that frozen food acts as an ice pack to assist cooling in the fridge.

Disposing of the packaging

The packing materials may be dangerous for children. Keep the packing materials out of the reach of children or dispose of them by classifying them in accordance with the waste instructions. Do not

dispose of them along with the normal household waste.

The packing of your refrigerator is produced from recyclable materials.

Disposing of your old refrigerator

Dispose of your old refrigerator without giving any harm to the environment.

•You may consult your authorised dealer or waste collection center of your municipality about the disposal of your refrigerator.

Before disposing of your refrigerator, cut out the electric plug and, if there are any locks on the door, make them inoperable in order to protect children against any danger.

Placing and Installation

1.Install your refrigerator to a place that allows ease of use.

2.Keep your refrigerator away from heat sources, humid places and direct sunlight.

3.There must be appropriate air ventilation around your refrigerator in order to achieve an efficient operation. If the refrigerator is to be placed in a recess in the wall, there must be at least 5 cm distance with the ceiling and at least 5 cm with the wall. If the floor is covered with a carpet, your product must be elevated 2.5 cm from the floor.

4.Place your refrigerator on an even floor surface to prevent jolts.
