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.
