13. Attaching the appliance to the top
of the cavity
Screw the attachment plate lugs (top) to the overhead
furniture/fixtures.
Fix the attachment plate side lugs (top) depending on
the installation situation.
If there is a fairly large gap above the appliance,
fit a wooden beam above the appliance, ensuring that
the wooden beam fits the gap exactly.
Attach the cover strip to the attachment plate (top).
Shorten the fitting strip to the required height!
14. Attaching the individual appliance
to the side of the cavity
Screw the attachment plate lugs (side) to the adjacent
furniture/fixtures (individual appliances only).
NOTE
If there is no gap or only a slight gap, it is not necessary to fix the side lugs.
NOTE
In the case of a side-by-side installation connect
both cover rails to the bolt included in the installation
accessories for side-by-side installation
NOTE
In the case of a side-by-side installation this installation step is not possible. These parts have been
removed.
