Positioning and connection

Positioning

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

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.

After transportation of the appliance, 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 appliance. (e.g. 150 W).

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.

!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 After Sales Service).

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

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.

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.

Disposing of the plug

Cut off and dispose of the supplied plug if it does not fit your socket. The cable should be cut as close as possible to the moulded plug.
