Installation

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.

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 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.

WARNING:
To avoid a shock hazard do not insert the discarded
plug into a socket anywhere else.

Fitting a new plug

! Before placing your new appliance into operation
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. Ensure the appliance is away from any sources of

heat (direct sunlight, electric stove, etc.).

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 inside the freezer (e.g. 150 W).

• The voltage is in the range of values indicated on the

data plate located inside the freezer (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.
