Warning! This Appliance
Must Be Earthed
If the fitted moulded plug is
not suitable for your socket,
then the plug should be cut off
and an appropriate plug fitted.
Destroy the old plug which is
cut off as a plug with bared cord
could cause a shock hazard if
inserted into a socket elsewhere
in the house.
The moulded plug on this
appliance incorporates a 13
A fuse. Should the fuse need
to be replaced an ASTABEAB
approved BS 1362 fuse of the
same rating must be used. Do
not forget to refit the fuse cover.
In the event of losing the fuse
cover the plug must not be used
until a replacement fuse cover
has been fitted. Colour of the
replacement fuse cover must be
the same colour as that visible
on the pin face of the plug. Fuse
covers are available from any
good electrical store.
Important! Fitting A Different
Plug
As the colours of the wires in
the mains lead of this appliance
may not correspond with the
coloured markings identifying
the terminals in your plug
proceed as follows: (See
diagram).
1. Connect the green-yellow
or green (Earth) wire to the
terminal in the plug marked
‘E’ or with the symbol or
coloured green and yellow or
green.
2. Connect the blue (Neutral)
wire to the terminal in the plug
marked ‘N’ or coloured black.
3. Connect the brown (Live)
wire to the terminal in the plug
marked ‘L’ or coloured red.
4. With alternative plugs a 13 A
fuse must be fitted either in the
plug or adaptor or in the main
fuse box. If in doubt contact a
qualified electrician.
Energy Saving Tips
1. Ensure your appliance is
installed in a well ventilated
area.
2. Ensure the time between
buying chilled/frozen food and
placing them in your appliance
is kept at minimum, particularly
in summer. We recommend
you use a cool bag or a special
carrier bag to carry perishable
food.
3. Do not leave the door (s) of
your appliance open longer
than necessary and ensure
they are closed properly after
each opening.
4. Defrost frozen food in the
fridge, so that frozen food acts
as an ice pack to assist cooling
in fridge.
