Installation

! Before placing your new appliance into operation

GB

please read these operating instructions carefully. They
contain important information for safe use, for installation
and for care of the appliance.
! Please keep these operating instructions for future
reference. Pass them on to possible new owners of the
appliance.

Positioning and connection

Positioning

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

2. Do not obstruct the rear fan grills. The compressor and
condenser give off heat and require good ventilation to
operate correctly and save energy.

3. Leave a space of at least 10 cm between the top part
of the appliance and any furniture above it, and at least
5 cm between the sides and any furniture/side walls.

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

5. In order to maintain the correct distance between
the appliance and the wall behind it, fit the spacers
supplied in the installation kit, following the instructions
provided.

Levelling

1. Install the appliance on a level and rigid floor.

2. If the floor is not perfectly horizontal, make the
necessary adjustments by tightening or loosening the
single foot at the front of the appliance.

Electrical connections

After the appliance has been transported, carefully
place it 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).

• 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 (see Assistance).

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.

! The cable must be checked regularly and replaced by

authorised technicians only (see Assistance).

! The manufacturer declines any liability should
these safety measures not be observed.

GB

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.

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 re-
wireable 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.
