•To ensure the appliance is level, you should use the height adjustable feet at the front of the
appliance.
•The cooling system at the rear of the appliance must not touch the rear wall. The greater the
gap, the better.
•The appliance must be installed with adequate ventilation. Ensure that there is clearance
above the appliance to allow air to escape and that there is space between the rear of the
appliance and the wall.
Ventilation
The main consideration when installing any refrigeration unit into a fitted kitchen is
ventilation. The heat removed from the cooling compartment needs to be
dissipated into the atmosphere. Incorrect ventilation can lead to premature
compressor failure, excessive power consumption, total system failure and may
invalidate the warranty provided with the appliance. For products intended to
be instaIIed into a taII housing unit, the foIIowing requirements need to be met:
The open channeI at the rear is cIearIy shown. For the correct operation of the appIiance it is
important that the top of the housing unit is not bIocked off. A channeI depth of 40-50mm is
normaI with most units.
A ventiIation hoIe is required in the pIinth of the unit; this aIIows air to be drawn over the
compressor & heat exchange. The required air flow can be achieved by removal of a thin
section of plinth (recommended 600mm x 10mm minimum).
