• Do not install the appliance adjacent to a door or under

• If the appliance is installed above drawers make sure
that the space, between the bottom of the appliance
and the upper drawer, is sufficient for air circulation.
• Make sure that the ventilation space of 5mm, between
the worktop and the front of the below unit, is free. The
warranty does not cover damages caused by the lack
of an adequate ventilation space.
• The bottom of the appliance can get hot. We
recommend to install a non-combustile separation
panel under the appliance to prevent access to the
bottom.
