stick to the connection terms relating to the local
electricity and water companies.
ã Caution
Setting up and mounting this appliance requires
extensive expertise in various trades (mechanics,
carpentry, plumbing, electrics).
It is the duty of the person setting the appliance up to
guarantee that it is set up and commissioned securely.
Mistakes in setting the appliance up and damage
resulting from this do not come under the warranty of
the manufacturer. Terms of guarantee are found in the
operating instructions of the appliances.
4
Installation possibilities
Various installation possibilities are available.
These are only limited by the kitchen design and the finger
protector function.
Stand alone appliance
Side-by-Side set up
Stand alone appliance with dividing
wall
– When measuring the dividing wall for model 4, pay
attention to the thickness of the furniture front to be
mounted in order to avoid damage when opening
doors at the same time.
– If the distance between the appliances is less than
160 mm, the auxiliary side heater must be used.
For further information see section “Tools and
Accessories which are needed”.
– The minimum thickness of the dividing walls is 16 mm.
Stand alone appliance as an end
section to a row of kitchen units
If a side of the appliance is visible, use a side covering.
The side covering must be connected firmly to the wall, the
floor and the upper cupboards before the appliance is slid
into the installation niche.
The dimensions of the side covering are governed by the
opposing niche wall. During installation, make sure that the
installation niche has right angles and has the exact size
necessary for the appliance(s).

Installing the appliance
Installation location
ã Caution:
The appliance is very heavy. Data relating to the
weight when empty is found in the following table:
Appliance Weight (empty)
Refrigerator 60.3 cm approx. 131 kg
Refrigerator 75.6 cm approx. 145 kg
Freezer 45.1 cm * approx. 109 kg
Freezer 60.3 cm * approx. 131 kg
Freezer 75.6 cm * approx. 145 kg
Wine storage cabinet 45.1 cm approx. 109 kg
Wine storage cabinet 60.3 cm approx. 131 kg
* without water and ice dispenser
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:
– 3 cm to electric or gas cookers.
– 30 cm to an oil-fired or solid-fuel 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.
The safest method of installing the appliance in a stable
position is to use the supplied anti-tilt brackets.
If the installation cavity is adequately stable and the
appliance can be attached securely to the upper and side
walls of the cavity, it may be possible to dispense with the
anti-tilt brackets. A prerequisite for this is always a firm
connection between the cavity and back wall!
In the case of doubt, the help of architect or specialist
builder should be enlisted.
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.
You should determine the right angles of the installation
niche with appropriate means, e.g. by measuring diagonally
and by using a spirit level.
The side walls and the upper end of the installation niche
must be at least 16 mm thick.
Neighbouring kitchen furniture
The new appliance is screwed down tightly using parts of
the cabinet and the upper cabinet.
Care should therefore be taken, that all upper cabinets to
which something has been fastened are securely
connected to the subsurface or wall by appropriate means.
The minimum thickness of the base should be a minimum
of 19 mm.
Subsurface
Atmosphere grades
The climate class can be found on the rating plate.
The climate class indicates within which ambient
temperatures the appliance can be operated.
Climate class Permitted ambient
temperature
SN +10 °C to 32 °C
N +16 °C to 32 °C
ST +16 °C to 38 °C
T +16 °C to 43 °C
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.

weight is found in the following table:
Appliance Weight (laden)
Refrigerator 60.3 cm approx. 400 kg
Refrigerator 75.6 cm approx. 500 kg
Freezer 45.1 cm * approx. 250 kg
Freezer 60.3 cm * approx. 350 kg
Freezer 75.6 cm * approx. 425 kg
Wine storage cabinet 45.1 cm approx. 245 kg
Wine storage cabinet 60.3 cm approx. 310 kg
* without water and ice dispenser
Water connection
The subsurface must be level and even in order to ensure
that the appliance is securely installed and works correctly.
The subsurface must be made from a hard, non-flexible
material.
The floor of the installation space must have the same
height as the rest of the space.
On account of the weight of a fully-laden appliance, it is
necessary to have a bearing subsurface. In the case of
doubt, the help of architect or specialist builder should be
enlisted.
Aligning the appliance
To ensure that the appliance functions correctly, it must be
set level with a spirit level.
If the appliance is not level, water may flow out of the ice
maker, ice cubes may be irregular or the doors may not
close properly.
Electrical connection
The socket must be near the appliance and also freely
accessible following installation of the appliance.
The appliance complies with the protection class I.
Connect the appliance to 220-240 V/50 Hz alternating
current via a correctly installed socket with protective
conductor. The socket must be fused with a 10 to 16 A
fuse.
For appliances operated in non-European countries, check
whether the stated voltage and current type match the
values of your mains supply match the values of the mains
supply. These specifications can be found on the rating
plate.
ã Warning:
Never connect the appliance to electronic energy
saver plugs. Our appliances can be used with mains
and sine-controlled inverters.
Mains-controlled inverters are used for photovoltaic
systems which are connected directly to the power
supply system.
Sine-controlled inverters must be used for isolated
applications (e.g. on ships or in mountain lodges)
which are not connected directly to the national grid.
The water may be connected only by a competent fitter
according to the local regulations of the appropriate water
supply company.
The tap must be near the appliance and also freely
accessible following installation of the appliance.
The enclosed hose set is 2 metres long.
ã Caution:
Use only the enclosed hose set or a hose set purchased
from customer service for connection to the drinking water
mains.
Do not use existing or already used hose sets.
Connect the appliance to a drinking water line only:
– Minimum pressure: 0.2 Mpa (2 bar)
– Maximum pressure: 0.8 Mpa (8 bar)
– If the pressure is above 0.8 MPa (8 bar): install
a pressure limiter between drinking water connection
and hose set.
A separate shut-off valve should be installed in the coldwater inflow. The shut-off valve should not be located
behind the appliance. It is recommended that you mount
the shut-off valve directly next to the appliance or at another
place which is easily accessible.
When installing the water connection, pay attention to the
permissible installation area for the water mains. For more
information concerning the permissible installation areas,
see the section “Dimensions of the Installation Niche”.
For connection to the drinking water mains use only water
pipes which are suitable for drinking water. Observe
national regulations and the connection conditions of the
local water supply companies.
Note:
The maximum outside diameter of the water mains
(without connecting pieces) is 10 mm.
