Preparing the furniture doors
Important note:
When working on the furniture doors, care should be 
taken to the following:
Always carry out screwing jobs on the most stable 
part of the furniture door. Never screw into fillings or 
similar areas.
Always selects screws with a length smaller than the 
thickness of the cabinet front.
Protect the surfaces of the furniture doors during 
installation against damage.
The overall weight of the furniture door including the 
handle should not exceed the following values:
Instead of one large door, two furniture doors can be 
mounted next to each other in the case of appliances 
with a width of 30" (76 cm) and 36" (91 cm). These 
furniture doors are then connected using a metal strip on 
the rear.
This metal strip is available from your dealer as an 
installation accessory (Connection element for furniture 
doors). For further information see section “Tools and 
Accessories which are needed”.
When attaching the metal strip to the furniture doors, 
observe the maximum possible length of the screws and 
the position of the drill holes. Always screw into the best 
load-bearing material of the furniture door.
Note:
Never screw into fillers, decorative strips or similar.
If only one furniture door is to be attached to the 
door of a 30" or 36" wide appliance, attach the 
supplied sandwich plate to the adjusting rail and 
lock into position.
