Ventilation
Ventilation is the main consideration when installing
any refrigeration unit into a fitted kitchen. The heat
removed from the cooling compartment needs to be
dissipated away from the appliance and 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. This appliance is intended to be installed
into a cabinet, therefore the instructions on the following
pages need to be met so that the fridge operates properly
and to meet warranty requirements.
