Electrical connection (For UK type plug)
For your safety please read the following information
Warning: This appliance must be earthed.
This appliance operates from 220-240 volts and should be protected by
a 13 amp fuse in the plug.
The appliance is supplied with a standard 13 amp 3-pin mains plug fitted
with a 13-amp fuse. Should the fuse require replacement, it must be
replaced with a fuse rated at 13 amp and approved to BS1362.
If the mains plug which is fitted is unsuitable for the socket outlet in your
home or is removed for any other reason, please follow the instructions
below on how to wire a 13 amp 3 pin plug..
How to wire a 13 amp plug.
Important
The wires in the mains lead on this
appliance are coloured in accordance
with the following code:
Green and Yellow - Earth
Blue – Neutral
Brown – Live
As the colours may not correspond with the markings identifying the
terminals in your plug proceed as follows.
The green and yellow wire must be connected to the terminal in the plug
which is marked with the letter E or with the earth symbol or coloured

Before using your fridge freezer
• When using your fridge for the first time, or after
transportation, keep it in an upright position for at least 3
hours before plugging into the mains. This allows efficient
operation and prevents damage to thecompressor.
• 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.
Information on the Frost Free technology
The Frost Free refrigerators are different from the other static
refrigerators in terms of their operational system.
In normal fridges, the humidity entering the fridge due to
opening the door and the humidity inherent in the food causes
freezing in the freezer compartment. To defrost the frost and
ice in the freezer compartment, you are periodically required to
turn off the fridge, place the food that needs to be kept frozen
in a separately cooled container and remove the ice gathered
in the freezer compartment.
The situation is completely different in no-frost fridges. Dry
and cold air is blown into the fridge and freezer compartments
homogeneously and evenly from several points via a blower
fan. Cold air dispersed homogeneously and evenly between
the shelves cools all of your food equally and uniformly, thus
preventing humidity and freezing.
