ATTENTION
Read your manual carefully since it contains instructions
which will ensure safe installation, use and maintenance
of your appliance.
Your Refrigerator is built to International safety standards
(EN60) and has been awarded the European approval mark
(IMQ) for compliance with UK electrical safety requirements.
It also meets the EC standards on the prevention and elimination of radio interference (EC directive 87/308 - 02.06.89).

To ensure that the appliance operates properly
and to reduce energy consumption, it is
important that the appliance is installed
correctly.
Ventilation
The compressor and condenser generate heat and,
therefore, need to be ventilated properly. Avoid placing
refrigerator in direct sunlight, or next to an electric stove or
similar appliance. Areas not adequately ventilated are not
suitable for this appliance.
During installation, make sure not to cover or obstruct the
grates that allow for proper ventilation of the appliance.
Away from Heat
Avoid positioning the appliance in a place where it is directly
exposed to sunlight or near an oven, hob or the like.
Electrical Connection and Earthing
Before proceeding with the electrical connection, make sure
that the voltage indicated on the rating plate, located at
the bottom left near the fruit and vegetable crisper,
PLEASE PHONE US TO REGISTER YOUR APPLIANCE AND ACTIVATE YOUR 5 YEAR PARTS GUARANTEE ON 08448 24 24 24
corresponds
to the mains voltage in your home and that the socket is
fitted with a standard earthing wire in accordance with
safety standards for 46/90 systems. If the socket is not
fitted with an earthing wire, the manufacturer will not be
held liable for any damages and/or injuries arising out of
the use of the appliance. Do not use multiple sockets or
adapters.
Position the appliance in such a way that you
can access the socket where it is plugged in.
Insufficient power?
The electrical socket must be able to handle the maximum
power load of the appliance, which is indicated on the
rating plate located at the bottom left next to the vegetable crisper.
Before making the electrical connection ...
After the appliance has been delivered, place it in the vertical upright position and wait at least 3 hours before inserting the plug into the socket in order to ensure that it
functions properly.

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.
Fitting a new plug
IMPORTANT:
WIRES IN THE MAINS LEAD ARE COLOURED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING CODE...
Green and Yellow - Earth
Blue - Neutral
Brown - Live
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead may
not correspond with the coloured markings
identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as
follows:
- Connect Green and Yellow wire to
terminal marked 'E' or or coloured
Green and Yellow.
- Connect Brown wire to terminal marked
'L' or coloured red or brown.
- Connect Blue wire to terminal marked 'N'
or coloured Black or Blue.
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.
If a 13amp plug (BS 1363) is used it must be
fitted with a 13amp fuse. A 15amp plug must be
protected by a 15amp fuse, either in the plug or
adaptor or at the distribution board.
If you are in any doubt about the electrical
supply to your machine, consult a qualified
electrician before use.
