1.2 Installation warnings
Before using your fridge freezer for the first
time, please pay attention to the following
points:
• The operating voltage for your fridge
freezer is 220-240 V at 50Hz.
• The plug must be accessible after
installation.
• Your fridge freezer may have an odour
when it is operated for the first time. This
is normal and the odour will fade when
your fridge freezer 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 you consult a
qualified electrician for assistance.

with a properly installed fused socket.
The power supply (AC) and voltage at

away from stoves, gas ovens and heater

• If your fridge freezer is placed next to a
deep freezer, there must be at least 2
cm between them to prevent humidity
forming on the outer surface.
