Start-up
The more R 600a refrigerant is in the appliance, the
q
larger the room must be where the device is located. In
the case of a leak, a flammable gas-air mixture may be
created in a room that is too small. In accordance with
standard EN 378, for every 0.39 oz (11 g) R 600a
coolant, the installation space must be at least35.5 ft
(1 m3). The amount of refrigerant in your appliance is
indicated on the identification plate inside the appliance.
If the appliance is installed in a very damp environment
q
condensate water may form on the outside of the appliance. Always ensure good ventilation.
The load-bearing capacity of the floor must be sufficient
q
for the weight of the appliance plus about 1200 pounds
(544 kg) of food weight.
The electrical socket must assessed precisely to
q
ensure the correct position and fuse.
Do not restrict ventilation. Sufficient ventilation is
q
required for the appliance to operate correctly. The
ventilation grid fitted at the factory guarantees an effective ventilation gap on the appliance of 31 in.
(200 cm2). If you replace the ventilation grid with a
fascia, this must have at least the same size or larger
ventilation gap as the manufacturer's ventilation grid.

The declared energy consumption was determined with a
kitchen cabinet depth of 560 mm. The appliance is fully
functional with a kitchen cabinet depth of 550 mm but will
have a slightly increased level of energy consumption.
For side-by-side installation of two
u
appliances next to each other
install each appliance in its own
kitchen cabinet.
Check the wall thickness of adjacent cabinets: It must
u
be at least 5/8 in. (16 mm).
Only install the appliance in solid, fixed kitchen cabi-
u
nets. Ensure that the cabinets cannot tip over.
4* Depending on model and options
Start-up
Align the cabinets with a spirit level and a try square. If
u
necessary level them by putting something underneath
them.
Ensure that the floor and the side panels of the cabinet
u
are at right angles to each other.
2.5 Cabinet door
Two doors are required for the kitchen cabinet: a top
one for the fridge section and a bottom one for the
freezer section.
The doors must be at least 5/8 in. (16 mm) and no more
than 3/4 in. (19 mm) thick.
When the two doors are closed the gap between the
top and bottom door must be at least 1/8 in. (3 mm).
The gap between the cabinet doors must be the same
as the gap between the appliance doors.
There must be a gap of at least 1/8 in. (3 mm) between
the door and the cupboard door above it (if there is
one).
The width of the cabinet doors depends upon the style
of the kitchen and the size of the gap between the door
panels of the cupboard. Normally a vertical gap of
1/8 in. (3 mm) should be left between the cabinet
doors.
The upper edges of the top door and the bottom door
should be the same as the on the cupboard(s) next to it
if there are any other cupboards.
The unit doors must be assembled flat and free from
tension.
NOTICE
An excessively heavy unit door can cause potential
damage!
If the unit door is too heavy, we cannot rule out damage to
the hinges, which may compromise the use of the unit.
Before installing the unit door, ensure the door does not
u
exceed the permissible weight.

Fig. 3
The height of the freezer door is 24-24/32 in. (629 mm).
In order to cover the bottom section of the appliance:
u
extend the plate height to 27-3/8 in. (695 mm).
The thickness of the floor plate is normally 3/4 in.
(19 mm).
In order to cover the front of the floor plate
u
extend the plate height to 27-3/8 in. + 3/4 in. =
28-1/8 in. ( 695 mm + 19 mm = 714 mm ).
If no cabinet doors have yet been fitted the gap between
the freezer section door

is19/32 in. (15 mm) After the cabinet doors
Fig. 3 (4)
and the fridge section
Fig. 3 (a)
Fig. 3 (1,2)
Of course, the final door height depends on the size of the
gap on the doors of the kitchen cabinets that are to the
right and left of the fitted appliance cabinet.
If there are other cabinets next to the fitted appliance
cabinet they normally have a gap between two drawers or
:
doors. Depending on the design of your kitchen these
gaps are about 1/8 in. (3 mm) wide.
In this case increase the plate height to 27-3/8 in. +
u
3/4 in. + 19/32 in. - 1/8 in. = 28-19/32 in. ( 695 mm +
19 mm + 15 mm - 3 mm = 726 mm ).
The height of the refrigerator door leaf is calculated as
follows:
Total height of the cupboard (i.e. 70-3/8 in. (1788 mm))
u
plus thickness of the cover and floor plate (normally
3/4 in. (19 mm)) minus the height of the freezer cabinet
door leaf (xxx in. (xxx mm)) as calculated above and
minus the gap width (approximately 1/8 in. (3 mm)):
70-3/8 in. + 3/4 in. + 3/4 in. - xxx in. - 1/8 in. = 71-3/4 in.
- xxx in. ( 1788 mm + 19 mm + 19 mm - xxx mm - 3 mm
= 1823 mm - xxx mm )
2.6 Air circulation in the kitchen
cabinet
Start-up
Fig. 4
There must be an effective ventilation gap of at least
31 in2 (200 cm2) per appliance for the air inlet
and the air outlet
Basically, the bigger the ventilation gap, the more
energy-saving the operation of the appliance.
The depth of the ventilation shaft on the back wall of the
cabinet must be at least 1-1/2 in. (40 mm).
The top ventilation gap can be set up either directly
above the appliance with an optional ventilation grid
