Installation
Installation room
The appliance should be installed in
a dry, well ventilated room.
The ambient temperature should not
drop below 55 °F (13 °C) or rise
above 110 °F (43 °C), otherwise
malfunctions may occur.
The installation location should not
be exposed to direct sunlight and not
placed near a heat source, such as
an oven, radiator, etc.
If installation next to a heat source is
unavoidable, use a suitable
insulating plate or observe the
following minimum distances from
the heat source:
– 1.2" (3 cm) from an electric
cooker,
– 12" (30 cm) from an oil or
solid-fuel cooker.
Installation cavity
It is important to observe the
specified dimensions of the
installation cavity for a trouble-free
installation of the appliance and for
the subsequent general view of the
furniture front.
In particular ensure that the cavity is
square. Squareness can be checked
by suitable means, e.g. spirit level,
diagonal measurements, etc.
Furniture/fixtures
The new appliance will be mounted
securely to adjacent and overhead
furniture/fixtures.
For this reason it is essential that all
attachable furniture/fixtures are
connected securely to the base or
the wall by suitable means.
Base
To ensure that the appliance is
installed securely and functions
properly, the base must be fiat and
level.
The base must be made of a hard,
rigid material.
The installation area must be the
same height as the rest of the room.
On account of the heavy weight of
a fully loaded appliance, a load-
bearing base is required.
For fully-loaded weight see the
following table:
– Refrigerator 24": 890 Ibs / 400 kg
If in doubt, contact an architect or
a building expert.
