• 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 installed into a tall housing unit, the following
requirements need to be met:
The open channel at the rear is clearly shown. For the correct operation of the appliance it is
important that the top of the housing unit is not blocked off. A channel depth of 40-50mm is
normal with most units.
A ventilation hole is required in the plinth of the unit; this allows 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).
As a rule, the more air that can get in and out, the better and more efficient the operation
of the product.
