The expanded polystyrene materials included in the packaging can be placed in general waste.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE PLUGGED INTO AN EARTHED SOCKET. · Before switching on, make sure that the voltage of your electricity supply is the same as that on the rating plate. This appliance is designed to operate on 110-120V/60Hz. Connection to any other power source may damage the appliance · This appliance may be fitted with a non-rewireable plug. If it is necessary to change the fuse in the plug, the fuse cover must be refitted. If the fuse cover is lost or damaged, the plug must not be used until a suitable replacement is found · If the plug has to be changed, because it not suitable for your socket or becomes damaged in any way, it should be replaced by a qualified electrician. The plug removed must be disposed of safely as insertion into a 13 Amp socket could cause an electrical hazard · Always remember to unplug your appliance before cleaning.
HOW TO MINIMISE THE ENERGY CONSUMPTION OF YOUR HUSKY APPLIANCE
· Energy consumption will be lower if the appliance stands in a well ventilated space and in particular if the vent at the back of the appliance is clear of obstruction
· Do not place the appliance in direct sunlight or near a heat source such as ovens, radiators, heaters, etc as this will increase energy consumption
· Keep the door closed as much as possible · Setting the thermostat cooler (towards the highest number on the dial) means higher
energy consumption, so set only as cool as you really require · Do not overfill the appliance – overfilling means the cool air cannot circulate freely inside
the cabinet which may slow the process of cooling and make the cabinet less efficient
