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.
WARNING: When positioning the
appliance ensure the supply cord is not
trapped or damaged.
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.
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.
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.

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 the fridge.

has thawed, it should be eaten
within 24 hours or cooked and
refrozen.

Does Blomberg offer replacements?
This is a repair-only guarantee. On occasion, the Manufacturer may at its sole discretion, replace your product with a new
product instead of carrying out a repair. Where a replacement is offered, this would normally be an identical model but when
this is not possible, a model of similar specification will be provided. The Manufacturer will cover the costs and arrange for the
delivery of the new product and for the return of the old product. Any costs related to disconnecting the faulty product and
installing the replacement product will not be borne by the Manufacturer unless previously agreed to in writing. The original
guarantee will continue to apply to the replacement product; the new product will not come with a new guarantee.
When will the repair take place?
Our Engineers work Monday to Friday 9.00am to 5.00pm. Appointments outside these hours may be possible at the sole
discretion of the Manufacturer but cannot be guaranteed. Whilst our Engineers will endeavour to minimize inc onv eni en ce and
to meet requests for specific timed appointments, this cannot be guaranteed. We will not be liable for delays or if it is unable to
carry out a repair because a convenient appointment cannot be arranged.
Will there be any charge for the repairs?
It is your responsibility to provide evidence to the Engineer that your product is covered by this guarantee with a proof of
purchase. The Manufacturer reserves the right to charge for the reasonable cost of any service call if:
• You cannot provide evidence that your product is covered by this guarantee.
• Where a service call has been made and the engineer finds that there is no fault with your product.
• That your product has not been installed or operated in accordance with the User Instructions Booklet.
• That the fault was caused by something other than faulty materials, defective components or manufacturing defects.
• For missed appointments.
Payment of these costs are due immediately upon the Engineer providing you with an invoice. The Manufacturer reserves the
right to terminate the guarantee if you fail to pay the costs for the service call in a timely manner.
If you are a resident of the United Kingdom, this guarantee will be governed by English law and subject to the English Courts,
save where you live in another part of the United Kingdom, in which case the law and courts of that location will apply.
If you are resident in the Republic of Ireland, this guarantee will be governed by Irish law and the Irish courts will have
jurisdiction.
