.Appliances with the symbol can be

used to store already frozen food.

Important:

Wrap and seal the food in:

Aluminium foil, cling film, watertight plastic

bags, polythene containers with lids or

special freezer containers.

When purchasing frozen food products:

Ensure that the packaging is not damaged

(frozen food in damaged packaging may

have deteriorated). If the package is swollen

or has damp patches, it may not have been

stored under optimal conditions and

defrosting may have already begun.

Transport products in a thermally insulated

cool bag.

When shopping, leave frozen food

purchases until last.

Once at home, place the frozen foods

immediately in the freezer.

If food has thawed even partially, do not re-

freeze it. Consume within 24 hours.

Avoid subjecting foods to temperature

variations.

Observe the “best before” date on the

package.

Always observe the storage information on

the package.

Making ice cubes

Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 with water and place

it at the bottom of the freezer compartment.

HOW TO DEFROST AND CLEAN THE APPLIANCE

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

37093Gb.fm5 Page 18 Thursday, October 4, 2001 4:01 PM

If the appliance is still not working

properly contact After-sales Service.

Specify the appliance service number,

given on the product documentation and

on the rating plate inside the appliance at

the bottom left hand side.

.Install the appliance away from heat

sources. Installation in a hot environment,

direct exposure to the sun or installation

near heat sources (heaters, radiators,

cookers) will increase power consumption

and should therefore be avoided. If this is

not possible, the following minimum

distances must be observed:

30 cm from coal or paraffin stoves

3 cm from electric stoves.

Install the appliance in a dry, well-ventilated

place.

Clean the interior (see “HOW TO DEFROST

AND CLEAN THE APPLIANCE”).

Fit the accessories.

Check the door seal is not damaged or

deformed, especially after installation or

reversal of door opening.

Electrical connection

.Ensure that the voltage indicated on the

appliance data plate corresponds to the

domestic supply voltage.

Regulations require that the appliance is

earthed.

The Manufacturer declines all

liabilities for injury to persons or animals or

damage to property resulting from failure to

observe these regulations.

If the plug and socket are not of the same

type, have the socket replaced by a qualified

electrician.

Do not use extension cables, multiple

sockets or adapters.

AFTER-SALES SERVICE

INSTALLATION

37093Gb.fm5 Page 19 Thursday, October 4, 2001 4:01 PM

For Great Britain only

Warning

- this appliance must be

earthed

Fuse replacement

If the mains lead of this appliance is fitted with a

BS 1363A 13amp fused plug, to change a fuse in

this type of plug use an A.S.T.A. approved fuse

to BS 1362 type and proceed as follows:

Remove the fuse cover (A) and fuse (B).

Fit replacement 13A fuse into fuse cover.

Refit both into plug.

Important:

The fuse cover must be refitted when changing a

fuse and if the fuse cover is lost the plug must not

be used until a correct replacement is fitted.

Correct replacement are identified by the colour

insert or the colour embossed in words on the

base of the plug.

Replacement fuse covers are available from

your local electrical store.

Connection to a rewirable plug

If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket

outlet, then it should be cut off and disposed of in

order to avoid a possible shock hazard should it

be inserted into a 13A socket elsewhere.

A suitable alternative plug should then be fitted

to the cable.

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in

accordance with the following code:

BLUE - “NEUTRAL” (“N”)

BROWN - “LIVE” (“L”)

GREEN AND YELLOW - “EARTH” (“E”)

The GREEN AND YELLOW wire must be

connected to the terminal in the plug which is

marked with the letter “E” or by the Earth

symbol or coloured green or green and

yellow.

The BLUE wire must be connected to the

terminal which is marked with the letter “N” or

coloured black.

The BROWN wire must be connected to the

terminal which is marked with the letter “L” or

coloured red.

For the Republic of Ireland only

The information given in respect of Great Britain

will frequently apply, but a third type of plug and

socket is also used, the 2-pin, side earth type. In

this case, the wire which is coloured GREEN

AND YELLOW must be connected to the EARTH

contact, and the two wires to the two pins,

irrespective of colour. The supply to the socket

must be fitted with a 16 amp fuse.
