Using the appliance
N.B.
• The refrigerator uses an alternating power supply of 220 V-240 V, 50 Hz. If the voltage variations are
significant (higher than 187-264 V), they may cause malfunctions such as failure of the refrigerator
to start up, fire in the main control panel and compressor, compressor making an unusual noise,
etc. In this case, you should install an automatic voltage regulator of more than 1,000 W. The
refrigerator's power cord, which is fitted with a three-terminal plug (earth), is compliant with
standard three-terminal sockets (earth). You must never disconnect or remove the third pin from
the plug. Once the refrigerator has been installed, the sockets must be accessible so that the
appliance can be used easily. The plug must be properly connected to the socket; otherwise it
could present a fire hazard.
• Do not hold onto or pull on the power cord to unplug the refrigerator. Hold the plug firmly and
remove it directly from the socket. Do not allow electrical wires to be squashed by the refrigerator
to trampled on by people. Take care once the refrigerator has been unplugged. Make sure that
the plugs are not twisted or damaged. Do not use plugs and sockets if they are damaged or worn.
Contact an approved service centre to have plugs replaced if they are worn or damaged.
