choosing a place to position it, or the insulation might be
adversely affected and breakdowns occur.
The appliance should be installed well away from sources of
heat such as radiators, boilers, direct sunlight etc. Ensure that
air can circulate freely around the back of the cabinet. To
ensure best performance if the appliance is positioned below
an overhanging wall unit the minimum distance between the
top of the cabinet and the wall unit must be at least 20 cm
ideally. However the appliance should not be positioned below
overhanging wall units. Accurate levelling is ensured by one or
more adjustable feet at the base of the cabinet.
5. Power supply
• Check your local power source. This appliance requires a
current of approximately 220-240V 50Hz.
• Power supply cord is about 1.6 meters long.
• The voltage used must be the same as specified on this
appliance. Using a higher voltage may result in a fire or other
accident causing the damage. Using low voltage will cause
failure of operation. We are not responsible for damage
resulting from use of this appliance with a voltage of ampere
fuse other than those specified.
