Commissioning the appliance

WARNING

Risk of electric shock!

Touching live parts may result in severe injury or death.

■ Do not operate or continue to operate the appliance, if
– it shows visible signs of damage, e.g. the power cord is defective,
– it starts smoking or there is a smell of burning,
– it makes unfamiliar noises.

Should this occur, remove the mains plug or unscrew/isolate the fuse and contact our service department (see "Service" on page GB-29).

■ Do not connect to a timer or a separate remote-controlled system for distance monitoring and control.
■ If the mains plug is no longer accessible after installation, an all-pole disconnecting device complying with overvoltage category III must be connected to the house wiring with a contact gap of at least 3 mm; this includes fuses, circuit breakers and contactors.
■ Do not kink or pinch the mains cord or lay it over sharp edges. This can result in a break in the cable.

CAUTION

Fire hazard!

Improper handling of the appliance can lead to fire and property damage.

■ Only connect the appliance to a properly installed and earthed electric socket. Do not connect to a multi-socket extension cable or a multi-socket plug.

NOTICE

Risk of damage!

If the appliance has been transported horizontally, lubricant from the compressor may make its way into the cooling circuit.

- Allow the appliance to stand upright for approx. 2 hours after transport and before connecting. This allows the lubricant enough time to flow back into the compressor.

- Insert the mains plug into an easily accessible and properly installed socket (220-240 V\~ / 50 Hz).

The interior light (1) switches on and off automatically when the door is opened and closed.

You will find all important information about operation from page GB-12.
