adaptor from the power outlet.
• For power requirements, refer to the information on the serial plate located at the front bottom right-hand side of
the refrigerator when the door is open.
• Ensure your appliance is properly grounded (earthed).
• Connect the appliance to the electrical supply (220V – 240V 50Hz) with the fitted plug and lead.
• Connections to the mains supply should be in accordance with local regulations.

or dishwasher.
