protection of our environment is an ongoing commitment. This appliance which is among the latest range introduced is particularly environment

friendly. Your appliance contains non CFC / HFC natural substances in the cooling system (Called R600a) and in the insulation (Called cyclopentane)

which are potentially flammable

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

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 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 to a minimum, particularly in summer. We recommend you use a cool bag or a special carrier bag to carry frozen 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.
