! 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.

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.

1.  Install the appliance on a level and rigid floor.
2.  If the floor is not perfectly horizontal, adjust the refrigerator 

by tightening or loosening the front feet.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
