Electrical connection
All electrical work should be carried out
by a suitably qualified and competent
person in strict accordance with current
local and national safety regulations.
The refrigeration appliance must only be
connected using the connection cable
supplied (AC 220–240 V 50/60 Hz
supply).
The fuse rating must be at least 10 A.
The voltage and frequency are given on
the data plate. Please ensure that these
match the household mains supply.
This appliance must be connected to a
suitable switched socket. The electrical
installation must be in compliance with
current local and national safety
regulations.
The socket must not be concealed
behind the appliance and must be
easily accessible so that the appliance
can be quickly disconnected from the
electricity supply in case of an
emergency.
If the socket is no longer accessible
after installation, an additional means of
disconnection must be provided for all
poles. Suitable means of disconnection
include switches with an all-pole
contact gap of at least 3 mm. These
include isolator switches, fuses and
relays (EN 60335).
The plug and the power cable must not
touch the rear of the refrigeration
appliance as they could be damaged by
vibrations from the appliance. This
could result in a short circuit.
Nor should other appliances be
plugged into a socket located directly
behind this appliance.
Do not connect the appliance to the
mains electricity supply using an
extension lead. Extension leads do not
guarantee the required safety of the
appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
Do not connect the appliance to a
stand-alone inverter such as those used
with an autonomous energy source, e.g.
solar power.
When the appliance is switched on,
power surges could result in a safety
switch-off. This could damage the
electronics.
The appliance must not be used with
so-called energy-saving devices
either. These reduce the amount of
energy supplied to the appliance,
causing it to overheat.
