Positioning and connection

Positioning

1. Place the appliance in a well-ventilated humidity-free
room.

appliance. The compressor and condenser give off
heat and require good ventilation to operate correctly
and save energy.

3. Ensure the appliance is far away from any sources of
heat (direct sunlight, electric stove, etc.).

vertically and wait at least 3 hours before connecting it
to the electricity mains. Before inserting the plug into the
electrical socket ensure the following:

• The appliance is earthed and the plug is compliant
with the law.

• The socket can withstand the maximum power of the
appliance, which is indicated on the data plate
located on the bottom left side of the fridge (e.g. 150
W).

• The voltage must be in the range between the values
indicated on the data plate located on the bottom left
side (e.g. 220-240V, 50Hz).

• The socket is compatible with the plug of the
appliance.
If the socket is incompatible with the plug, ask an
authorised technician to replace it (

Your appliance is supplied with a 13amp fused plug that
can be plugged into a 13amp socket for immediate use.
Before using the appliance please read the instructions
below.

WARNING:
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.

Replacing fuse covers:

When replacing a faulty fuse, a 13amp ASTA approved
fuse to BS 1362 should always be used and the fuse
cover re-fitted.
If the fuse cover is lost, the plug must not be used until
a replacement is obtained.

Replacement fuse covers:

If a replacement fuse cover is fitted, it must be of the
correct colour as indicated by the coloured marking or the
colour that is embossed in words on the base of the plug.

Changing the plug:

Removing the plug

If your appliance has a non-rewireable moulded plug
and you should wish to remove it to add a longer cable
or to re-route the mains cable through partitions, units
etc. please ensure that either:

- The plug is replaced by a fused 13amp re­wireable plug bearing the BSI mark of
approval.

or

- The mains cable is wired directly into a
13amp cable outlet, controlled by a
switch (in compliance with BS 5733)
which is accessible without moving the
appliance.

Disposing of the plug

Cut off and dispose of the supplied plug if it does not fit
your socket. The cable should be cut as close as
possible to the moulded plug.
Remove the fuse.
