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).

• 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 (
Do not use extension cords or multiple sockets.

! Once the appliance has been installed, the power
supply cable and the electrical socket must be easily
accessible.

! The cable must not be bent or compressed.

13amp cable outlet, controlled by a
switch (in compliance with BS 5733)
which is accessible without moving the
