GB

read these operating instructions carefully. They contain

 

important information for safe use, for installation and for

 

 

care of the appliance.

 

! Please keep these operating instructions for future

 

reference. Pass them on to possible new owners of the

 

appliance.

Positioning and connection

Positioning

1. Place the appliance in a well-ventilated humidity-free room.

2. Do not obstruct the rear fan grills. The compressor and condenser give off heat and require good ventilation to operate correctly and save energy.

3. Leave a space of at least 10 cm between the top part of the appliance and any furniture above it, and at least 5 cm between the sides and any furniture/side walls.

4. Ensure the appliance is away from any sources of heat (direct sunlight, electric stove, etc.).

5. In order to maintain the correct distance between the appliance and the wall behind it, fit the spacers supplied in the installation kit, following the instructions provided.

Levelling

1.Install the appliance on a level and rigid floor.

2.If the floor is not perfectly horizontal, adjust the refrigerator by tightening or loosening the rear feet.

Electrical connections

After the appliance has been transported, carefully place it vertically and wait at least 3 hours before connecting it to the electricity mains. Before inserting the plug into the electrical socket ensure the following:

•The appliance is earthed and the plug is compliant with the law.

•The socket can withstand the maximum power of the appliance, which is indicated on the data plate located inside the freezer (e.g. 150 W).

•The voltage is in the range of values indicated on the data plate located inside the freezer (e.g. 220-240V).

•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 Assistance). Do not use extension cords or multiple sockets.

!Once the appliance has been installed, the power supply cable and the electrical socket must be easily accessible.

!The cable must not be bent or compressed.

!The cable must be checked regularly and replaced by authorised technicians only (see Assistance).

!The manufacturer declines any liability should these safety measures not be observed.

Connection of the water supply

To carry this out, use the kit provided which contains all the necessary elements for connection to the water supply. To improve the performance of the Aqua Care, we recommend that you fit a tap with a filter on the pipe for the connection to the water system: in this way it will be possible to manually interrupt the water supply during long periods in which Aqua Care is not used.

!The water pressure inside the water system must be between 0.8 bar and 8 bar.

!The appliance must only be connected to a water supply suitable for drinking.

Your appliance is supplied with a 13amp fused plug that can be plugged into a 13amp socket for immediate use. Before using the appliance please read the instructions below.

WARNING:

THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.

Replacing fuse covers:

When replacing a faulty fuse, a 13amp ASTA approved fuse to BS 1362 should always be used and the fuse cover re-fitted.

If the fuse cover is lost, the plug must not be used until a replacement is obtained.

Replacement fuse covers:

If a replacement fuse cover is fitted, it must be of the correct colour as indicated by the coloured marking or the colour that is embossed in words on the base of the plug.

Changing the plug:

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.
