3.2 Location
Refer to the installation
instructions for the
installation.
This appliance is not intended to be used
as a built-in appliance.
In case of different installation from
freestanding respecting space required
in use dimensions, the appliance will
function correctly but energy
consumption might increase slightly.
To ensure appliance's best functionality,
you should not install the appliance in the
nearby of the heat source (oven, stoves,
radiators, cookers or hobs) or in a place
with direct sunlight. Make sure that air
can circulate freely around the back of
the cabinet.
This appliance should be installed in a
dry, well ventilated indoor position.
To ensure best performance, if the
appliance is positioned below an
overhanging wall unit, the minimum
distance between the top of the cabinet
shall be maintained. Ideally, however,
the appliance should not be positioned
below overhanging wall units. One or
more adjustable feet at the base of the
cabinet ensure that the appliance stands
level.
CAUTION!
If you position the appliance
against the wall, use back
spacers provided or keep
the minimum distance
indicated in the installation
instructions.
CAUTION!
If you install the appliance
next to a wall, refer to the
installation instructions to
understand the minimum
distance between the wall
and the side of the appliance
where door hinges are to
provide enough space to
open the door when the
internal equipment is
removed (e.g. when
cleaning).
This appliance is intended to be used at
ambient temperature ranging from 10°C
to 43°C.
The correct operation of the
appliance can only be
guaranteed within the
specified temperature range.
If you have any doubts
regarding where to install the
appliance, please turn to the
vendor, to our customer
service or to the nearest
Authorised Service Centre.
It must be possible to
disconnect the appliance
from the mains power
supply. The plug must
therefore be easily
accessible after installation.
