Installation of the appliance

Important information

These instructions are intended to help with the
installation of your new appliance.
The manufacturer cannot be made liable for incorrect
installation.
We recommend that installation is carried out by our
customer service.
The appliance may be connected only by an
authorised fitter according to these installation
instructions.
Always connect the water before the power.
In addition to the statutory national regulations,
observe the connection conditions of the electricity
and water supply companies.
Keep the installation instructions in a safe place.
Information on warm housing surfaces
It may occur that the appliance housing feels warm.
This is normal and ensures that no condensation can
deposit on the housing. This occurs when the appliance
is used for the first time, at high outside temperatures or
after opening the door frequently.

Installation location

Install the appliance in a dry, well ventilated room.
The installation location should neither be exposed to
direct sunlight nor near a heat source, e.g. a cooker,
radiator, etc. If installation next to a heat source is
unavoidable, use a suitable insulating plate or observe
the following minimum distances to a heat source:
3 cm to an electric cooker.
D
30 cm to an oil or solid fuel cooker.
D
The floor on which the appliance is to be installed must
be rigid. If required, reinforce the floor. To ensure that
the ice maker functions correctly, the appliance must
be upright.
Observe ambient temperature and ventilation
The climatic class can be found on the rating plate and
indicates the ambient temperatures at which the
appliance can be operated.

Ventilation
Never cover the ventilation openings in the base panel.
Otherwise, the refrigerating unit must work harder and
the power consumption is increased.
On exposed floors or floor coverings such as carpets,
tiles, cork or laminate flooring, the ventilation openings
can reduce due to a change in the height of the
appliance. In such a case, the appliance must be raised,
see Chapter Aligning the appliance".

Installation in corners

The following minimum clearances must be observed for
freestanding or built in appliances:
Upwards 7 mm
Sides each 0 mm
To the rear 13 mm
The worktop edges must be trimmed to an angle of 45º
if the worktop has a 25 mm projection.
For fully integrated appliances, the minimum side
clearances must be increased:
Left (freezer side):
Right (fridge side):
This enables the ice maker, drawers and baskets to be
removed completely.
To enable the doors to be fully opened, the minimum side
clearances must be slightly increased for installation in
a corner of a room.
Important information:
For installation in a corner, where the upper part of the
appliance is covered completely, measurement must
take place above the hinge cover to ensure the correct
distance from the floor.
