Installing and operating your fridge

Before starting to use your fridge, you should pay attention to the following points:
• The operating voltage for your fridge is 220-240 V at 50Hz.
• The plug must be accessible after installation.
• Your fridge may have a smell when it is operated for the first time. This is normal and the
smell will fade away when your fridge starts to cool.
• Before connecting your Fridge Freezer, ensure that the information on the data plate
(voltage and connected load) matches that of the mains electricity supply. If in doubt,
consult a qualified electrician.
• Insert the plug into a socket with an efficient ground connection. If the socket has no
ground contact or the plug does not match, we recommend that you consult a qualified
electrician for assistance.
• The appliance must be connected with a properly installed fused socket. Power supply
(AC) and voltage at the operating point must match with the details on the name plate of
the appliance (name plate is located on the inside left of the appliance).
• We do not accept responsibility for any damages that occur due to ungrounded usage.
• Place your fridge where it will not be exposed to direct sunlight.
• Your fridge should never be used outdoors or exposed to rain.
• Your appliance should be at least 50 cm away from stoves, gas ovens and heater cores,
and at least 5 cm away from electrical ovens.
• When your fridge is placed next to a deep freezer, there should be at least 2
cm between them to prevent humidity forming on the outer surface.
• Do not place heavy items on the appliance.
• Clean the appliance thoroughly, especially the interior, before use (see
Cleaning and Maintenance).
• The installation procedure into the kitchen unit is given in the Installation Manual. This
product is intended to be used in proper kitchen units only.
• Before using your fridge, wipe all parts with a solution of warm water and a teaspoon
of sodium bicarbonate, then rinse with clean water and dry. Place all parts in the fridge
after cleaning.
