ELECTRICAL CONNECTION AND OPERATION

This appliance has been designed, built and marketed in

compliance with:

- the safety targets of the “Low Voltage” EEC Directive

72/23;

- the protection requirements of the “EMC” EEC Directive

89/336 amended by EEC Directive 93/68.

Check that the voltage on the rating plate, situated at the right

hand side of the crisper corresponds to the voltage in your home

(Fig. 6).

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.

If the plug and the wall socket do not comply, have the socket re-

placed 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 adap-

ters, multiple sockets and extension cords is not advisable.

If absolutely necessary, use simple or multiple adapters and exten-

son cords in compliance with local safety regulations, paying at-

tention 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. With the appliance

plugged in, the interior light should come on when the refrigera-

tor door is opened, unless the thermostat control knob is set to

ELECTRICAL INFORMATION

WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED

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 fu-

se cover

3. Refit both into plug.

IMPORTANT: The fuse cover must

be refitted when changing a fuse

and if the fuse cover is lost the plug

must not be used until a correct re-

placement is fitted.

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 alternative plug should then be fitted to the cable. The

wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the fol-

lowing code:

BLUE "NEUTRAL" ("N")

BROWN "LIVE" ("L")

GREEN AND YELLOW "EARTH" ("E)

1. The GREEN AND YELLOW wire must be connected to the ter-

minal in the plug which is marked with the letter "E" or by the

Earth symbol or coloured green or green and yellow.

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.

ENVIRONMENTAL HINTS

Do not throw the packing into the garbage: first sort out the dif-

ferent materials (i.e.: steel, cardboard, polystyrene) following local

regulations.

Conformity declaration

This appliance incorporates parts intended to come into contact

with foodstuffs in compliance with EEC Directive 89/109/CEE.

Information

This appliance is free of CFC’s (refrigerant circuit contains R134a) or

free of HFC’s (refrigerant circuit contains R600a - Isobutane).

For more details, please refer to the rating plate on the appliance.

For appliances with Isobutane (R600a)

The refrigerant Isobutane is a natural gas of high environmental

compatibility but which si inflammable. Therefore, it is essential

to ensure that the ducts of the refrigerant circuit do not get da-

maged.

KNOW YOUR APPLIANCE

The appliance you have just bought allows, dependent on mo-

dels, the storage of fresh foods and if it is equipped with the low

temperature compartment marked by a symbol , the free-

zing-in of small quantities of foods, the storage of commercially

frozen foods and the production of ice cubes.

The appliance fitted with super insulation have been designed to

grant high performances with a reduced energy consumption.

Please read these instructions carefully, you will find the descrip-

tion of your appliance and the useful hints to obtain the best

performance to store foods.

INSTALLATION

Please ensure that the appliance is undamaged. Transit dam-ages

must be reported to your delaer within 24 h of receipt of the ap-

pliance. We suggest you wait 1 hour approx, before connecting

effective. 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.

If the appliance is installed under a kitchen furniture, leave a

50mm air gap (Fig. 2). Ensure that the appliance is level; adjust, if

required, the front foot (Fig. 3).

Fit the spacers (if provided) on the top of the condenser (Fig. 4).

To ensure free air circulation, ensure that the ventilation grid si-

tuated above the appliance is not obstructed (Fig. 5).

Clean the interior with a sponge dampened in a solution of warm

water and bicarbonate of soda or vinegar.
