consumption, total system failure and may invalidate the warranty
provided with the appliance. For products intended to be installed into
a tall housing unit, the following requirements need to be met:
The open channel at the rear is clearly shown. For the correct
operation of the appliance it is important that the top of the housing
unit is not blocked off. A channel depth of 40-50mm is normal with
most units.
A ventilation hole is required in the plinth of the unit; this allows air to
plan view of rear ventilation gap
The top of the cabinet needs to be
vented into the room
Recommended size of vent opening:
500 x 30mm
If the furniture does not allow free air
into the room then a plinth vent, or other
means of ventilation needs to be pro-
vided to ensure a natural flow of air
There should be space at the rear of the
cabinet to allow cool air to be drawn over
the condenser.
Recommended:
500 x 35mm
An air intake
should be provided
somewhere in
the cabinet run to
allow free air in.
In this example, a
plinth vent is shown
underneath the
refrigerator .
A cutout should be
made in the plinth
below the fridge/
freezer and this
finished neatly using
the air vent grille
supplied.
Alternatively, a thin
section of the plinth
can be removed
to allow air into the
unit (recommended
600mm x 10mm).
