in rooms which are less than 32 °F (0 °C).
A fully-loaded appliance is very heavy.
Refrigerator 30" approx. 1110 Ibs/500 kg Freezer 18" approx. 560 Ibs/250 kg

Installation room

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
12" (30 cm) to an oil or coal-fired 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.

Climatic classes

The climate class can be found on the rating plate. The climate class indicates within which ambient
temperatures the appliance can be operated.

Stable installation

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-tilt 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-tilt 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.
1
/4" (3 cm) to electric or gas cookers.
Climatic class Permitted ambient temperature SN 50 °F to 90 °F (+10 °C to 32 °C) N 61 °F to 90 °F (+16 °C to 32 °C) ST 61 °F to 100 °F (+16 °C to 38 °C) T 61 °F to 110 °F (+16 °C to 43 °C)

Installation niche

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.
