2 Warnings

•DO NOT connect your appliance to

the electricity supply until all packing and transit protectors have been removed.

• Leave to stand for at least 4

hours before switching on to allow compressor oil to settle if transported horizontally.

• If you are discarding an old

refrigerator with a lock or latch fitted to the door, disable the lock/latch, ensure that it is left in a safe condition to prevent the entrapment of young children.

• This fridge/freezer must only be used

for its intended purpose i.e the storing and freezing of edible foodstuff.

• Do not dispose of the appliance on

a fire. At BLOMBERG, the care and

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 if exposed to fire. Therefore, take care not to damage, the cooling circuit / pipes of the appliance in transportation and in use. In case of damage do not expose the appliance to fire or potential ignition source and immediately ventilate the room where the appliance is situated.

• We suggest you contact your local

authority for disposal information and facilities available.

• See Installation Instructions on on

page 8 for information on suitable location.

• To obtain the best possible

performance and trouble free operation from your appliance it is very important to carefully read these instructions.

• On delivery, check to make sure that

the product is not damaged and that all the parts and accessories are in perfect condition.

• Ensure that the plug remains readily

accessible. Do not use multiple adapter bar or extension cable.

• Failure to observe these instructions

may invalidate your right to free service during the guarantee period.

• Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in

structure, clear of obstruction.

• Do not use mechanical devices

or other means to accelerate the defrosting process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.

• Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.

• Do not use electrical appliances

inside the food storage compartments of the appliance, unless they are of the type recommended by the manufacturer.

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 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 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.

3 Installation

manufacturer shall not be held liable if the information given in the instruction manual is not observed.

Points to be considered when re-transporting your refrigerator

1.Your refrigerator must be emptied and

cleaned prior to any transportation.

2.Shelves, accessories, crisper and etc.

in your refrigerator must be fastened securely by adhesive tape against any

jolt before repackaging.

3.Packaging must be tied with thick

tapes and strong ropes and the rules of transportation printed on the package must be followed.

Please do not forget…

Every recycled material is an

indispensable source for the nature and for our national resources.

If you wish to contribute to recycling

the packaging materials, you can get further information from the environmental bodies or local authorities.

Before operating your refrigerator

Before starting to use your refrigerator

check the following:

1.Is the interior of the refrigerator dry and can the air circulate freely in the rear of it?

2.Please install the 2 plastic wedges as illustrated in the figure. Plastic

wedges will provide the required distance between your refrigerator and the wall in order to allow the air circulation. (The illustrated figure is only an example and does not match

exactly with your product.)

3.Clean the interior of the refrigerator as

recommended in the “Maintenance

and cleaning” section.

4.Plug the refrigerator into the wall outlet.

When the fridge door is open, the fridge compartment interior light will come on.

5.You will hear a noise as the

compressor starts up. The liquid and gases sealed within the refrigeration system may also give rise to noise, even if the compressor is not running and this is quite normal.

6.Front edges of the refrigerator may feel warm. This is normal. These areas are designed to be warm to avoid condensation

Electric connection

Important:

• The connection must be in compliance

with national regulations.

• The power cable plug must be easily

accessible after installation.

• The specified voltage must be equal to

your mains voltage.

• Extension cables and multiway plugs

must not be used for connection.
