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.

Page 8

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.

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, so that frozen food acts as an ice pack to assist cooling in fridge.
