Make sure that the power line voltage matches the specifications indicated on the rating plate located
inside the storage compartment.
This rating plate must never be removed.
If the appliance is hooked-up to the supply by means of a fixed connection, install a multipolar cut-out
device on the line, with contact opening distance equal to or greater than 3 mm, located near the
appliance and in an easily reachable position.
Hook-up to the supply may be fixed or with plug and socket. In the latter case the plug and socket
must be suitable for the cable employed and conform with the regulations in force. Regardless of the
type of connection, earthing of the appliance is absolutely obligatory. Before connection make sure
that the supply line is suitably earthed. Avoid the use of reducers, adapters or shunts.1
