INSTALLATION (Fig. 2)
Ensure that the appliance is not damaged. Transit damages
must be reported to your dealer within 24 h of receipt of
the appliance. The appliance should not be installed close to
heat sources, central heating, cookers, boilers, sunlight, etc.
It must however be located in a well ventilated dry space.
Should this type of installation be unavoidable, please allow
the following side distances:
a) between appliance and any coal or gas stove: 30 cm min.
b)
between appliance and gas or electric cookers: 3 cm min.
You can install between the appliance and the cooker an
insulating plate, which is available by specialized dealers.
The appliance must stand level. Please follow the instructions given in the separate built-in instructions. Allow the
appliance to stand for one hour approx. prior to operating
it: in the meantime clean the inside with a solution of water
and vinegar (Fig. 3) and mount the accessories provided.
The appliance is fitted with an interior light situated on the
top of the refrigerator inner liner, with a 15 W lamp (Fig. 4).
Attention: Accessibility to the mains supply plug must be
guaranteed even after the installation to disconnect the
appliance in case of need. Contrarily, provide a two-pole
switch with a contact separation of 3 mm or more, situated
in an accessible position.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION AND
OPERATION
This appliance has been designed, built and marketed in
compliance with:
- the safety targets of the “Low Voltage” EEC Directive
73/23;
- the protection requirements of the “EMC” EEC Directive 89/336 amended by EEC Directive 93/68.
Check that the voltage on the rating plate (Fig. 5),situated
inside the compartment, near the crisper, corresponds to
the voltage in your home.
The earthing of this appliance is compulsory by law. The
manufacturer will accept no liability for injury to persons or
damage to objects arising from the non-observance of this
requirement.
have the socket replaced by a qualified electrician. He
should also check that the section of the socket wires can
withstand the power absorbed by the appliance. The use
of adapters, multiple sockets and extension cords is not advisable. If absolutely necessary, use simple or multiple adapters and extension cords in compliance with local safety regulations, paying attention not to exceed the maximum
amperage, which is marked on the simple adaptors and on
extension cords and that of the total power marked on the
multiple adapters.
If the plug and the wall socket do not comply,

Fuse replacement.
If the mains lead of this appliance is fitted with a BS 1363A 13
amp fused plug, to change a fuse in this type of plug use an
A.S.T.A. approved fuse to BS 1362 type and proceed as follows:
1. Remove the fuse cover (A) and fuse (B).
2. Fit replacement 13A fuse into fuse cover.
3. Refit both into plug.

Correct replacements are identified by the colour insert or
the colour embossed in words on the base of the plug.
Replacement fuse covers are available from your local electrical store.

CONNECTION TO A REWIREABLE PLUG
If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlet, then
it should be cut off and disposed of in order to avoid a
possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13A socket elsewhere. A suitable altenative plug should then be
fitted to the cable. The wires in this mains lead are coloured
in accordance with the following code;
BLUE - “NEUTRAL” (“N”)
BROWN - “LIVE” (“L”)
GREEN AND YELLOW - “EARTH” (“E”)
1.
The GREEN AND YELLOW wire must be connected to the
terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter “E” or by
the Earth symbol
2. The BLUE wire must be connected to the terminal
which is marked with the letter “N” or coloured black.
3. The BROWN wire must be connected to the terminal
which is marked with the letter “L” or coloured red.

The information given in respect of Great Britain will frequently apply, but a third type of plug and socket is also
used, the 2-pin, side earth type. In this case, the wire which
is coloured GREEN AND YELLOW must be connected to
the EARTH contact, and the other two wires to the two
pins, irrespective of colour. The supply to the socket must
