socket make sure that the voltage and 
the frequency shown on the rating 
plate inside the appliance corresponds 
to yourelectricity supply.
Rating label is on the left hand side of 
fridge inner liner.
We recommend that this appliance be 
connected to the mains supply via a
suitable switched and fused socket. 
The appliance must be positioned so 
that the plug is accessible.
Should the mains lead of the appliance 
become damaged or should it need
replacing at any time, it must be 
replaced by a special purpose made 
mains lead which can only be obtained 
from a BLOMBERG Authorised Service 
Agent.
WARNING! THIS APPLIANCE 
MUST BE EARTHED
If the fitted moulded plug is not 
suitable for your socket, then the plug 
should be cut off and an appropriate 
plug fitted. Destroy the old plug which 
is cut off as a plug with bared cord 
could cause a shock hazard if inserted 
into a socket elsewhere in the house.
The moulded plug on this appliance 
incorporates a 13 A fuse. Should 
the fuse need to be replaced an 
ASTABEAB approved BS 1362 fuse 
of the same rating must be used. Do 
not forget to refit the fuse cover. In the 
event of losing the fuse cover the plug 
must not be used until a replacement 
fuse cover has been fitted. Colour 
of the replacement fuse cover must 
be the same colour as that visible on 
the pin face of the plug. Fuse covers 
are available from any good electrical 
store.IMPORTANT! FITTING A 
DIFFERENT PLUG
As the colours of the wires in the 
mains lead of this appliance may 
not correspond with the coloured 
markings identifying the terminals in 
your plug proceed as follows: (See 
diagram).
 1. Connect the green-yellow or green 
(Earth) wire to the terminal in the plug 
marked ‘E’ or with the symbol 
 or 
coloured green and yellow or green.
2. Connect the blue (Neutral) wire to 
the terminal in the plug marked ‘N’ or 
coloured black.
3. Connect the brown (Live) wire to 
the terminal in the plug marked ‘L’ or 
coloured red.
With alternative plugs a 13 A fuse must 
be fitted either in the plug or adaptor 
or in the main fuse box. If in doubt 
contact a qualified electrician.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS
1- Ensure your appliance is installed in 
a well ventilated area.
2- Ensure the time between buying 
chilled/frozen food and placing them 
in your appliance is kept at minimum, 
particularly in summer. We recommend 
you use a cool bag or a special carrier 
bag to carry frozen food.
3- Do not leave the door (s) of your 
appliance open longer than necessary 
and ensure they are closed properly 
after each opening.
4- Defrost frozen food in the fridge 
compartment, so that frozen food acts 
as an ice pack to assist cooling in the 
fridge.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1.  If possible avoid placing the appliance 
near cookers, radiators or in direct     
sunlight as this will cause the compressor 
to run for long periods. If installed next to a 
source of heat or refrigerator, maintain the 
following minimum side clearances:
  From Cookers    2”   (50 mm)
   From Radiators  12” (300 mm)
   From Refrigerators or Larder Fridge        
1”   (25 mm)
2. No gap is required at sides and top. 
See item 3 below to ensure a gap is 
obtained at the rear of the appliance. If 
a gap is available on side and top, retain 
it if possible as it would improve the air 
circulation around the appliance.
3. Fit the two plastic wall spacers supplied with the 
appliance rotating 1/4 turn to the condenser at the 
back of the refrigerator (see diagram).
4. The fridge should be located on a 
smooth surface. The two front feet can 
be adjusted as required. To ensure that, 
your fridge is standing upright adjust the 
two front feet by turning clockwise or 
anti-clockwise, until the product is in firm 
contact with the floor. Correct adjustment
