Installation location
ã

The fully laden appliance is very heavy. 

* without water and ice dispenser
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

/

4

" (3 cm) to electric or gas cookers.

–

11

13

/

16

" (30 cm) to an oil-fired or solid-fuel cooker.

The floor of the installation location must not give way; if 

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.

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.

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 

5

/

8

" (16 mm) thick.

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.

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.
