Installation
! Before operating your new appliance, please read
these operating instructions carefully. They contain
important information for safe use, installation and 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 airflow under and behind the
appliance. The compressor and condenser give off
heat and require good ventilation to operate correctly
and save energy. Also, ensure the appliance is far
away from any sources of heat (direct sunlight,
cookers etc.)
3. For best performance in cool locations, position the
appliance so that the plastic spacers on the
condenser are nearly touching the room wall. (The
condenser is the black radiator at the back of the
appliance.) Note however, that this appliance should
be located in rooms where the ambient falls below
10°C for long periods of time.
Electrical connections
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.
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.
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.
Remove the fuse.
