Safety - a good habit to get into.
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) ans 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 readio interference (EC directive 87/308 - 02.06.89).
1. This appliance must not be installed outdoors - not even in
an area protected by a roof. It is extremely danger ous to leave
it exposed to rain or storms.
2. It must only be used by adults and exclusively to refrigerate
and freeze foodstuffs, following the instructions for use contained in this manual.
3. Do not ever touch or handle the appliance with bare feet or
with wet hands or feet.
4. It is highly recommended that you do not use extension cords
or multiple socket adapters. If the refrigerator is installed between cabinets, make sure that the cord is not bent or danger ously pinched or compressed.
5. Never pull on the cord or the refrigerator to remove the plug
from the wall socket - this is very dangerous.
6. Never touch the cooling components within the appliance,
especially with wet hands because this could result in injury.
Never put ice cubes just removed from the freezer into your
mouth because they could stick to your mouth and cause burns.
7. Do not carry out any cleaning or maintenance operations
without first having disconnected your appliance from the mains
power supply (by unplugging it or turning off the cut-out switch
in your home); turning the thermostat knob to " " is not
enough to eliminate all electric contacts.
8. Before having your old refrigerator picked up for disposal,
remove or make inoperable any locking devices to prevent children who might play in or around the appliance from being
locked inside.
9. Before calling for service/assistance in the case of malfunction, consult the chapter entitled “Is There a Problem? to deter mine whether it is possible to eliminate the problem. do not try
to repair the problem by trying to access the internal components of the appliance.
10. If damaged, the power supply cord on this appliance must
necessarily be replaced by our service centre because special
tools are required for r eplacement.
11. Do not use electric appliances inside the compartment for
food storage, if these are not those recommended by the
manufacturer.
12. At the end of the functional life of your appliance –
containing cyclopentane gas in the insulation foam and perhaps
gas R600a (isobutane) in the refrigeration circuit – the latter
should made safe before being sent to the dump.
For this operation, please contact your dealer or the Local
Organisation in charge of waste disposal.
Installation
Proper installation of the appliance is essential to ensure the best and most efficient performance of your
appliance.
Ventilation
The compressor and condenser generate heat and, therefore, need to be ventilated properly. Rooms with less than
perfect ventilation are not very suited for installation of the
appliance. Therefore, it should be installed in a room with
an opening (window or French window) that provide the
appropriate amount of air re-circulation. It is also important
that the room not be too humid.
During installation, make sure not to cover or obstruct the
grates that allow for proper ventilation of the appliance.
For proper ventilation of the appliance, you must leave:
- a space of at least 10 cm between the top part and any
cabinets above it;
- a space of at least 5 cm between the sides of the appliance
and any adjacent cabinets/walls.
Away from Heat
Avoid positioning the appliance in a place where it is directly
exposed to sunlight or near an oven, cook top or the like.
Levelling
The floor should be perfectly level; if not, you can adjust the
feet at the front of the appliance.
Earthing
Before making the electrical connection, check that the voltage shown on the data plate, that you will find on the bottom left hand side of the appliance next to the crisper, corresponds to that of your home and that the socket is earthed
in compliance with all current electrical regulations. If the
system is not earthed, the manufacturer declines all liability
for consequent damages or losses. Do not use adapters or
multiple sockets.
Position the appliance in such a way that you can access
the socket where it is plugged in.
Check the power load
The electrical socket must support the maximum power load
of the appliance shown on the data plate (on the bottom
left hand side of the appliance next to the crisper).
Before plugging the appliance to the mains
Stand the appliance upright and wait at least 3 hours before
plugging the appliance into the mains to ensure proper per formance.

Electrical connection
Y our appliance is now supplied with a 13 amp fused plug that
can be plugged into a 13 amp socket for immediate use. Before
using the appliance please read the instructions below .
WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
THE FOLLOWING OPERATIONS SHOULD BE CARRIED
OUT BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
Replacing the fuse:
When replacing a faulty fuse, a 13 amp AST A approved fuse
to BS 1362 should always be used, and the fuse cover refitted. If the fuse cover is lost, the plug must not be used
until a replacement is obtained.
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 & Yellow wire to terminal marked “E” or
or coloured Green or Green & Yellow.
Connect Brown wire to terminal marked “L” or coloured
Red.
Connect Blue wire to terminal marked “N” or coloured Black.
If a 13 amp plug (BS 1363) is used it must be fitted with a 13
amp fuse. A 15 amp plug must be protected by a 15 amp
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.
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. Replacements
can be obtained directly from your nearest Service Depot.
Removing the plug:
If your appliance has a non-rewireable moulded plug and
you should wish to remove it to add a cable extension or to
re-route the mains cable through partitions, units etc., please
ensure that either:
- the plug is replaced by a fused 13 amp re-wireable plug
bearing the BSI mark of approval
or:
- the mains cable is wired directly into a 13 amp cable outlet,
controlled by a switch, (in compliance with BS 5733) which
is accessible without moving the appliance.
Disposing of the plug:
Ensure that before disposing of the plug itself, you make
the pins unusable so that it cannot be accidentally inserted
into a socket. Instructions for connecting cable to an
alternative plug:
Important: the wires in the mains lead are coloured in
accordance with the following code:
Green & Yellow - Earth
Blue - Neutral
Brown - Live
How to connect an alternative plug:
The wires in this mains lead are colour ed in accordance with
the following code:
BLUE “NEUTRAL” (“N”)
BROWN “LIVE” (“L”)
GREEN AND YELLOW “EARTH” (“E”)
