c okers etc.)

3.For best performance in cool locations, position the appliance so that the plastic spacers on the

c ndenser are nearly touching the room wall. (The c ndenser is the black radiator at the back of the notappliance.) Note however, that this appliance should

be located in rooms where the ambient falls below 10°C for long periods of time.

•The voltage must be in the range between the values indicated on the data plate located inside the appliance. (e.g. 220-240V, 50Hz).

•The socket is compatible with the plug of the appliance.

If the socket is incompatible with the plug, ask an authorised technician to replace it (see After Sales Service). Do not use extension cords or multiple sockets.

Removing the plug

If your appliance has a non-rewireable moulded plug and you should wish to remove it to add a longer cable or to re-route the mains cable through partitions, units etc. please ensure that either:

-The plug is replaced by a fused 13amp re-wireable plug bearing the BSI mark of approval.

or

-The mains cable is wired directly into a 13amp cable outlet, controlled by a switch (in compliance with BS 5733) which is accessible without moving the appliance.
