The appliance should be installed in a dry, well ventilated
space.
The location should not be exposed to the direct sunlight
and should not lie next to a source of heat such as a
cooker or a radiator etc. If installation next to a source of
heat cannot be avoided, either a suitable insulating plate
should be used or you should keep to the following
minimum distances:
1
– 1 / " (3 cm) to electric or gas cookers.

required, reinforce floor. To ensure that the ice maker
functions correctly, the appliance must be upright.

The climate class can be found on the rating plate.
The climate class indicates within which ambient
temperatures the appliance can be operated.

Stable installation

The appliance is very heavy and has a tendency to tilt
forwards when the appliance door is opened.
The appliance must not be switched on until there
is no possibility of the appliance tilting over.
The safest method of installing the appliance in a stable
position is to use the supplied anti-tip brackets.
If the installation niche is adequately stable and the
appliance can be attached securely to the upper and side
walls of the niche, it may be possible to dispense with the
anti-tip brackets. A prerequisite for this is always a firm
connection between the niche and back wall!
In the case of doubt, the help of architect or specialist
builder should be enlisted.

Installation niche

It is important to keep to the stated dimensions of the
installation niche with a view to trouble-free fitting, and the
subsequent appearance of the kitchen furniture frontage.
Special care should be taken that the niche has right
angles. The side walls should not exhibit areas that stick
out, projections or unevenness.
You should determine the right angles of the installation
niche with appropriate means, e.g. by measuring
diagonally and by using a spirit level.
The side walls and the upper end of the installation niche

must be at least / " (16 mm) thick.

Neighbouring kitchen furniture

The new appliance is screwed down tightly using parts of
the cabinet and the upper cabinet.
Care should therefore be taken, that all upper cabinets to
which something has been fastened are securely
connected to the subsurface or wall by appropriate
means.
The minimum thickness of the base should be
a minimum of 19 mm.

Floor

The subsurface must be level and even in order to ensure
that the appliance is securely installed and works
correctly.
The subsurface must be made from a hard, non-flexible
material.
The floor of the installation space must have the same
height as the rest of the space.
On account of the weight of a fully-laden appliance, it is
necessary to have a bearing subsurface. In the case of
doubt, the help of architect or specialist builder should be
enlisted.
