Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing
material

The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for
disposal, and should be recycled.

Ensure that any plastic wrappings,
bags etc. are disposed of safely and
kept out of the reach of babies and
young children. Danger of suffocation!

Disposal of your old appliance

Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain materials which, if
handled or disposed of incorrectly,
could be potentially hazardous to
human health and to the environment.
They are, however, essential for the
correct functioning of your appliance.
Please do not therefore dispose of it
with your household waste.

Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre or contact your dealer for
advice. Ensure that it presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.

Take care not to damage the pipework
at the back of it before or during
transportation to an authorised
collection depot.
In this way, refrigerant in the pipework
and oil in the compressor will be
contained, and will not leak out into the
environment.

Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety

Before setting up the appliance,

~

check it for any externally visible
damage. Do not install and use a
damaged appliance.
It could be dangerous.

If the connection cable is faulty it

~

must only be replaced by a service
technician authorised by the
manufacturer to protect the user from
danger.

This appliance contains the coolant

~

Isobutane (R600a), a natural gas which
is environmentally friendly. Although it
is flammable, it does not damage the
ozone layer and does not increase the
greenhouse effect. The use of this
coolant has, however, led to a slight
increase in the noise level of the
appliance. In addition to the noise of
the compressor, you might be able to
hear the coolant flowing around the
system. This is unavoidable, but does
not have any adverse effect on the
performance of the appliance.
Care must be taken during the
transportation and installation of the
appliance that no parts of the cooling
system are damaged. Leaking coolant
can damage the eyes.
In the event of any damage:

- avoid open flames and anything which
creates a spark,

- disconnect from the mains,

- air the room in which the appliance is
located for several minutes and

- contact the Service Department for
advice.

The more coolant there is in an

~

appliance, the larger the room it should
be installed in. In the event of a
leakage, if the appliance is in a small
room, there is the danger of
combustible gases building up.
For every8gofcoolant at least 1 m
room space is required. The amount of
coolant in the appliance is stated on the
data plate inside the appliance.

Safe operation of the appliance is

~

only assured if it has been installed and
connected in accordance with these
operating and installation instructions.

Before connecting the appliance,

~

make sure that the connection data on
the data plate (voltage and frequency)
matches the mains electricity supply.
This data must correspond in order to
avoid the risk of damage to the
appliance. Consult a qualified
electrician if in any doubt.

Do not connect the appliance to the

~

mains electricity supply by a
multi-socket adapter or an extension
lead. These do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance (e.g.
danger of overheating).

temperatures), and should not be used
outside this range. The climate range
for your appliance is stated on the data
plate inside the appliance.
Installing it in a room with too low an
ambient temperature, e.g. a garage,
can lead to the appliance switching off
for longer periods so that it cannot
maintain the required temperature.

Do not block the ventilation gaps in

~

the appliance as this would impair the
efficiency of the appliance, increase the
electricity consumption and could
cause damage to the appliance.

The lid on the appliance has a

~

plastic edge. Keep oil and fat spills
away from this as they could cause the
plastic to crack and split.

Do not handle frozen food with wet

~

hands. Your hands may freeze to the
frozen food. Danger of frost burn.

Do not take ice cubes out with your

~

bare hands and never place ice cubes
or ice lollies in your mouth straight from
the freezer.
The very low temperature of the frozen
ice or lollies can cause frost burn to the
lips and tongue.

Do not refreeze partially or fully

~

defrosted food.
Consume defrosted food as soon as
possible, as it will lose its nutritional
value and spoil if left for too long.
Defrosted food may only be re-frozen
after it has been cooked.

Do not store cans or bottles

~

containing carbonated drinks or liquids
which could freeze in the freezer. The
cans or bottles could explode.
Danger of injury and damage to the
appliance.

When cooling drinks quickly in the

~

freezer, make sure bottles are not left in
for more than one hour, otherwise they
could burst. Danger of injury and
damage to the appliance.

Observe the "use by" dates given on

~

food to avoid the risk of food poisoning.
Storage times will depend on several
factors, including the freshness and
quality of the food as well as the
temperature at which it is stored. Follow
the instructions given on food
manufacturer's packaging regarding
storage conditions and "use by" dates.

Do not store explosive materials in

~

the appliance or any products
containing propellants (e.g. spray
cans). Thermostats switching on may
produce sparks which could present a
fire hazard. Flammable compounds
could explode.

10

Warning and Safety instructions

Do not operate any electrical

~

equipment (e.g. an electric ice-cream
maker) inside the appliance. Danger of
sparking and explosion.

Do not use sharp edged objects to

~

remove frost and ice,

–

separate frozen foods or remove ice

–

trays.

They will damage the evaporator,
causing irreversible damage to the
appliance.

Do not place electric heaters or

~

candles in the appliance to defrost it.
These can damage the plastic parts.

Do not use defrosting sprays or

~

de-icers, as they might contain
substances which could damage the
plastic parts or which could cause a
build-up of gases and pose a danger to
health.

Do not use a steam-cleaning

~

appliance to defrost or clean this
appliance. Steam could reach electrical
components and cause a short circuit.

Disposal of your old appliance

Before disposing of an old

~

appliance, first make the door latch or
lock unusable.
This way you will prevent children from
accidentally locking themselves in and
endangering their lives.

Be careful not to damage any part of

~

the pipework whilst awaiting disposal,
e.g. by

puncturing the refrigerant channels

–

in the evaporator.

bending any pipework.

–

– scratching the surface coating.

Splashes of refrigerant can damage the
eyes.

The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by
non-compliance with these Warning
and Safety instructions.

Do not use any oils or grease on the

~

door seal, as these will cause the seal
to deteriorate and become porous with
time.

Normal energy consumption Increased energy

Use Drawers, shelves and racks

arranged as they were when
the appliance was delivered.

How to save energy

consumption

Only open the doors when
necessary and for as short a
time as possible.

Store food in an organised
way.

Take a cool bag with you
when shopping and on return
place food into the appliance
immediately.

Replace any food removed
rapidly, before it begins to
thaw.

Allow hot food and drinks to
cool down before placing
them in the appliance.

Store food covered or
packaged.

Place frozen food in the
refrigerator to defrost.

Opening doors frequently and
for long periods results in loss
of coolness and influx of
warmer ambient air. The
appliance works harder to
cool down and the
compressor runs for longer
periods.

Hot food or food at room
temperature raises the
temperature inside the
appliance. The appliance
works harder to cool down
and the compressor runs for
longer periods.

The evaporation or
condensation of liquids will
cause a loss of coldness in the
refrigerator.

Do not over-fill the appliance
to allow air to circulate.

Defrosting Defrost the freezer section

when a layer of ice 0.5 cm
(max.) thick has built up.

A build-up of ice slows down
the cooling process.

17

The correct temperature

It is very important to set the correct
temperature for storing food in the
appliance. Micro-organisms will cause
food which is not stored at the correct
temperature to deteriorate rapidly.
Temperature influences the growth rate
of these micro-organisms. Reducing
the temperature reduces their growth
rate.

To freeze fresh food and to store frozen
food for a long time, a temperature of

-18 °C is required. At this temperature
the growth of micro-organisms is
generally halted. As soon as the
temperature rises above -10 °C, the
micro-organisms become active in the
food again so that it cannot be kept as
long. For this reason, partially defrosted
or defrosted food must not be re-frozen.
Food may be re-frozen once it has
been cooked, as the high temperatures
achieved when cooking destroy most
micro-organisms.

The temperature in the appliance will
rise:

–

the more often the door is opened
and the longer it is kept open,

–

if too much food is stored in it at
once,

–

if too much fresh food is being frozen
at once,

Setting the temperature

Press the temperature selector button

^

repeatedly until the temperature you
want lights up in the display.

The first time you press the button the
indicator light for the last temperature
you set will flash in the display.

The temperature value will change up
until the setting for -28 °C is reached. It
will then drop back to the -14 °C
setting.

Approx. 5 seconds after the last press
on the button, the current actual
temperature of the freezer is
automatically shown.

If you have adjusted the temperature,

wait for approx. 6 hours if the
appliance is not very full and for
approx. 24 hours if the appliance is
full before checking the temperature

display as it will take this long for the
display to give an accurate reading. If,
after this time, the temperature is still
too high or too low, you will need to
adjust it again.

–

the higher the ambient temperature
surrounding the appliance.
The appliance is designed for use in
specific ambient temperatures
(climate ranges). Do not use in
ambient temperatures for which it is
not designed.

18

The correct temperature

Temperature range

The temperature can be adjusted from:

-14 °C to -28 °C

The ambient temperature in the room
and the installation location can affect
the time it takes for the appliance to
reach the lowest temperature. If the
ambient temperature is too high, the
appliance may not reach the lowest
temperature.

Temperature display

The temperature display on the
control panel shows the temperature
in the warmest part of the appliance.

The temperature display will flash if

the temperature in the appliance is

–

not within the possible temperature
range, e.g. immediately after the
appliance has been switched on.

a different temperature is being set,

–

the temperature in the appliance has

–

risen by several degrees, indicating
that the appliance is warming up too
much.

This loss of coldness is no cause for
concern in the following circumstances:

– when the door has been left open for

a while, e.g. for removing or storing a
large amount of food,

– when fresh food is being frozen.

As soon as the temperature has fallen
to approx. -10 °C, the temperature
display ceases to flash and lights up
constantly.

However, if the temperature remains
above -18 °C for a long time, check
that the frozen food has not started
to defrost. If it has, make sure that
the food is safe to use and, if it is,
then use it as soon as possible.

19

Alarm

Your appliance has been fitted with a
warning system which ensures that the
temperature in the freezer cannot rise
unnoticed.

Temperature alarm

If the temperature in the freezer
becomes too warm, an alarm will
sound. At the same time the
temperature display and the Alarm
symbol ; will flash.

The temperature the appliance is set at
determines the temperature the
appliance recognises as being too
warm.

For example, the alarm may sound and
the temperature display and the Alarm
symbol ; may flash,

– when freezing large amounts of food

at once,

– when freezing fresh food which is still

warm,

–

if a lot of room air enters the freezer
when food is being loaded,
re-arranged or taken out,

Activating the alarm system

The alarm system works automatically
once the temperature in the freezer is
cold enough.

Switching the alarm off early

As soon as the temperature in the
freezer has dropped sufficiently, the
alarm switches off and the temperature
display stops flashing and lights up
constantly. However, if the noise
disturbs you, you can switch the alarm
off before this if you wish.

^ Press the alarm off button.

The alarm will stop. The temperature
display will continue to flash until the
set temperature has been reached.
The display then stops flashing and
lights up constantly. The alarm
system is then ready should it be
needed again.

–

in the event of a power cut,

–

if the appliance is faulty.

The alarm will stop and the indicators
will go out as soon as the temperature
has dropped down to the correct level
again.

20

Switch on Super freeze before putting
fresh food into the freezer.

This helps food to freeze quickly and
retain its nutrients, vitamins, flavours
and appearance.

Super freeze

The compressor can switch on up to
8 minutes later. This is due to an
built-in delay switch, which helps
prolong the life of the appliance.

Super freeze is not necessary:

when placing food in the freezer that

–

is already frozen.

when freezing up to 1 kg fresh food

–

daily.

Switching on Super freeze

When freezing small quantities of food
in the freezer, the Super freeze function
should be switched on 6 hours

beforehand. When freezing the
maximum load of food the Super

freeze function should be switched on
24 hours beforehand.

^

Press the Super freeze button briefly.

The Super freeze symbol ª will light
up.

The appliance will work at full power to
lower the temperature in the appliance.

Switching off Super freeze

The Super freeze function will switch off
automatically after approx. 30 - 65
hours. The Super freeze symbol ª will
go out and the appliance will run at
normal power again.

To save energy the Super freeze
function can be switched off once a
constant temperature of -18°C or
colder has been reached in the freezer.
Check the temperature inside the
appliance.

^ Press the Super freeze button.

The Super freeze symbol ª will go
out.

The appliance will continue running at
normal power.

21

Freezing and storing food

Maximum freezing capacity

To ensure that fresh food placed in the
freezer freezes through to the core as
quickly as possible, the maximum
freezing capacity must not be
exceeded. The maximum freezing
capacity for freezing within a 24-hour
period is given on the data plate:

"Freezing capacity ....kg/24 hrs".

The maximum freezing capacity given
on the data plate has been calculated
according to DIN EN ISO 15502 Stan
dard.

-

Freezing fresh food

Fresh food should be frozen as quickly
as possible. This way the nutritional
value of the food, its vitamin content,
appearance and taste are not impaired.

Food which takes a long time to freeze
will lose more water from its cells, which
then shrink.
During the defrosting process, only
some of this water is reabsorbed by the
cells; the rest collects around the food.

Storing frozen food

When buying frozen food to store in
your freezer, check

that the packaging is not damaged,

–

the use-by date,

–

the temperature at which the frozen

–

food is being stored in the shop. The
length of time it can be kept is
reduced if it has been stored at a
temperature warmer than -18 °C.

Buy frozen food once you have

^

finished the rest of your shopping,
and wrap it in newspaper or use a
cool bag or cool box to transport it.

^ Store it in the freezer as soon as

possible.

Never re-freeze partially or fully
defrosted food. Consume defrosted
food as soon as possible as it will
lose its nutritional value and spoil if
left for too long. Defrosted food may
only be re-frozen after it has been
cooked.

If food is frozen quickly, the cells have
less time to lose moisture, so they
shrink less. As there is not so much
moisture loss, it is easier for the food to
reabsorb it during the defrosting
process, and very little water collects
around the defrosted food.

22

Freezing and storing food

Home freezing

Only freeze fresh food which is in a
good condition.

Hints on home freezing

The following types of food are

–

suitable for freezing:
Fresh meat, poultry, game, fish,
vegetables, herbs, fresh fruit, dairy
products, pastry, leftovers, egg
yolks, egg whites and a range of
pre-cooked meals.

The following types of food are not

–

suitable for freezing:
Grapes, lettuce, radishes, sour cream,
mayonnaise, eggs in their shells,
onions, whole raw apples and pears.

– To retain colour, taste and vitamin C,

vegetables should be blanched after
they have been trimmed and washed.
To blanch: bring a large saucepan of
water to the boil, immerse the
vegetables in the fast boiling water
for 2-3 minutes, depending on
variety. Remove, and plunge into
ice-cold water to cool quickly. Drain
and pack ready for freezing.

–

Lean meat freezes better than fatty
meat, and can be stored for
considerably longer.

–

To prevent chops, steaks, cutlets or
rolled meat from freezing together in
solid blocks when packed, separate
with a sheet of plastic freezer film.

–

Do not season fresh food or
blanched vegetables before
freezing. Only season cooked food
lightly before freezing, but care

should be taken as the taste of some
spices alters when frozen.

Do not place hot food or drinks in the

–

freezer. This causes already frozen
food to thaw, and increases the
energy consumption considerably.
Allow hot food and drinks to cool
down before placing them in the
freezer.

Packaging

Freeze food in portions.

- grease-proof paper

- cellophane

- bin bags

- plastic carrier bags

Suitable packaging material

- plastic freezer film

- freezer bags

- aluminium foil

- freezer containers

^

Expel as much air as possible from
bags etc. before sealing them, to
prevent freezer-burn on food.

^

Close the packaging tightly with

- rubber bands

- plastic clips

- string or bag ties

- freezer tape.

Freezer bags may also be sealed
using home heat sealing kits.

^

Make a note of the contents and the
date of freezing on the packaging.

23

Freezing and storing food

Before placing food in the freezer

When freezing more than 1 kg of

^

fresh food, switch on the Super
freeze function for some time before
placing the food in the freezer (see
"Super freeze").

This helps food that is already in the
freezer to stay frozen.

Placing food in the freezer

The following maximum capacities
must be observed:
– freezer drawer = 25 kg
– glass cold plate = 35 kg

Food to be frozen must on no
account touch food which is already
frozen to avoid partial thawing.

^ Make sure that the packaging and

containers are dry to prevent them
sticking together when frozen.

Freezing the maximum amount

–

(see data plate)

Remove the lowest freezer drawer.

^

Place the food flat on the bottom of

^

the appliance or in contact with the
interior side walls, so that it freezes
through to the core as quickly as
possible.

Once frozen:

Place the frozen food in the freezer

^

drawer and push it back in.

Large items

–

If you wish to freeze large items such
as a turkey or game, the glass cold
plates between the drawers can be
removed.

^ Remove the freezer drawers and

carefully lift and slide out the glass
cold plates.

– Freezing small portions

Place the food in the lower freezer
drawers.

^

Place the food flat in the bottom of
the drawers so that it freezes through
to the core as quickly as possible.

24

Defrosting

Frozen food can be defrosted in
different ways:

in a microwave oven,

–

in an oven using the "Fan" or

–

"Defrost" setting,

at room temperature,

–

in the refrigerator (the cold given off

–

by the frozen food helps to keep the
other food cold),

in a steam oven.

–

Poultry It is particularly important to
observe food hygiene rules when
defrosting poultry. Do not use the liquid
from defrosted poultry. Pour it away
and wash the container it was in, the
sink and your hands. Danger of
salmonella poisoning.

Ensure that meat and fish (e.g mince,
chicken, fish fillets) do not come into
contact with other foods while defrosting.
Catch the liquid and dispose of it carefully.

Fruit should be defrosted at room
temperature in its packaging, or in a
covered bowl.

Most vegetables can be cooked while
still frozen. Just put straight into boiling
water or hot fat. The cooking time is
slightly less than that of fresh
vegetables due to changes in the cell
structure.

Freezing and storing food

Never re-freeze partially or fully
defrosted food. Consume defrosted
food as soon as possible as it will
lose its nutritional value and spoil if
left for too long. Defrosted food may
only be re-frozen after it has been
cooked.

Ice cubes

(depending on model)

^ Fill the ice tray three quarters full with

water, and place it in the bottom of
one of the drawers.

^ Once frozen, use a blunt instrument,

for example a spoon handle, to
remove the ice tray from the freezer.

^

Ice cubes can be removed easily
from the tray by twisting the tray
gently or by holding it under cold
running water for a short while.

Cooling drinks

Do not store cans or bottles containing
carbonated drinks or liquids which
could freeze in the freezer. The cans or
bottles could explode.

When cooling non-carbonated drinks
quickly in the freezer, make sure bottles
are not left in for more than one hour,
otherwise they could burst.

25

Defrosting

In normal use, ice and frost will form in
the freezer, e.g. on the internal walls.
How much ice and frost accumulates in
the appliance will depend on the
following:

whether the appliance door has

–

been opened frequently or left open
for a while.

whether a large quantity of fresh food

–

has been placed in the freezer at
once.

whether there has been an increase

–

in the humidity in the room.

Too thick a layer of ice will make it hard
to remove freezer drawers, and in
certain circumstances can prevent the
door from closing properly. Too thick a
layer of ice also reduces efficiency and
increases energy consumption.

^ The freezer should be defrosted from

time to time. It must be defrosted if a
layer of ice approx. 0.5 cm thick has
accumulated.

Do not scrape off ice and frost and
do not not use any sharp edged or
pointed instruments to aid the
defrosting process.
This would damage the evaporator,
causing irreversible damage to the
appliance.

Before defrosting

Switch on the Super freeze function

^

at least 4 hours before defrosting to
ensure frozen food retains its cold
reserve for longer when taken out of
the freezer.

^ Remove the frozen food from the

freezer and place it in a cool box, or
wrap it in several layers of
newspaper or cloths and store in a
cool place until the freezer is ready
for use again.

^ Remove all the freezer drawers and

glass cold plates from the freezer.

The best time to defrost the freezer is
when:

–

there is very little food or no food left
in the freezer,

–

the humidity level in the room is low
and the ambient temperature in the
room is also low.

26

Defrosting

To defrost

Carry out the defrosting procedure
as quickly as possible. The longer
the food is left out at room
temperature, the faster it defrosts.

Do not use a steam-cleaning
appliance to aid the defrosting
process. Steam could reach
electrical components and cause a
short circuit.

Never place electric heaters or
candles etc. inside the appliance to
defrost it. They will damage plastic
parts.

Do not use defrosting sprays or
de-icers as they might contain
substances which could damage
the plastic parts or which could
cause a build-up of gases and pose
a danger to health.

^

Switch the appliance off.

If the temperature display does not
go out, then the lock is still activated.

Remove any loose pieces of ice.

^

Use a sponge or towel to soak up the

^

defrosted water, as often as
necessary.

After defrosting

Clean the appliance and then dry it

^

thoroughly.

Close the appliance door.

^

Reconnect to the mains and switch

^

the appliance back on.

Switch on the Super freeze function

^

so that the appliance can cool down
quickly.

^ Once the temperature in the freezer

is sufficiently low, slide the glass cold
plates back into the freezer, then
replace the food in the freezer
drawers and put them back in the
freezer.

^ When the temperature in the freezer

is a constant -18 °C or colder press
the Super freeze button to switch the
Super freeze function off.

^

Disconnect the appliance from the
mains.

^

Leave the freezer door open.

To speed up defrosting, two bowls of
hot water (not boiling), with plates
underneath them, can be placed in the
appliance. Closing the door in this
instance will help retain the warmth and
speed up the defrosting process.

27

Cleaning and care

Make sure that no water can
penetrate into electronic unit or into
the ventilation gaps.

Do not use steam cleaning
apparatus to clean the appliance.
Steam could reach electrical
components and cause a short
circuit.

Before cleaning

Switch the appliance off.

^

Disconnect the appliance from the

^

mains.

Take any frozen food out of the

^

appliance and store it in a cool place.

Take out any removable parts for

^

cleaning.

Defrost the freezer.

^

Cleaning the interior and
accessories

^ Use lukewarm water with a little

washing-up liquid.

The ice cube tray (depending on mo­del) is dishwasher safe.

The temperature of the dishwasher
programme must not exceed 55 °C.
Contact with some foodstuffs, such
as carrots, tomatoes or ketchup can
cause plastic items to discolour.
However, this discolouration will not
affect the stability of plastic items.

–

stainless steel cleaning agents,

–

dishwasher cleaner,

–

oven sprays,

–

glass cleaning agents,

–

hard, abrasive sponges and
brushes, e.g. pot scourers,

–

melamine eraser blocks,

–

sharp metal scrapers.

28

^

Clean the drawers and glass cold
plates by hand. They are not suitable
for cleaning in a dishwasher.

^

After cleaning, wipe the interior and
accessories with a damp cloth and
dry with a soft cloth.
Leave the door open to air the
appliance for a short while.

Cleaning and care

Appliance door, side panels

Remove any soiling from the
appliance door and side panels im
mediately.
If this is not done, it might become
impossible to remove and could
cause the surface to alter or
discolour.

All surfaces are susceptible to
scratching.
Contact with unsuitable cleaning
agents can alter or discolour the
surfaces.

^ The surfaces should be cleaned

using a solution of hot water and a
little washing-up liquid applied with a
soft sponge. They can also be
cleaned with a damp microfibre cloth
(without using any cleaning agent).

^ After cleaning, wipe with clean water

and dry with a soft cloth.

-

Ventilation gaps

^

The ventilation gaps should be
cleaned regularly with a brush or
vacuum cleaner. A build-up of dust
will increase the energy consumption
of the appliance.

Door seal

Do not use any oils or grease on the
door seal as these will cause the
seal to deteriorate and become
porous over time.

The door seal should be cleaned
regularly with clean water and then
wiped dry with a soft cloth.

Back of appliance ­compressor and metal grille

The compressor and the metal grille at
the back of the appliance (heat
exchanger) must be dusted at least
once a year. A build-up of dust will
increase the energy consumption of the
appliance.

Make sure that the cable and other
components do not get broken off,
bent or damaged in any way during
cleaning.

After cleaning

^ Close the appliance door.

^ Reconnect to the mains and switch

the appliance back on.

^ Switch on the Super freeze function

so that the appliance can cool down
quickly.

fitted, this measurement is reduced by
35 mm.

a Top box

b Appliance

c Housing unit

d Wall

The appliance can be installed in a
kitchen run. To match the height of the
rest of the kitchen, the appliance can
be fitted with a suitable top box a.

The ventilation cross-section of the

–

air outlet below the ceiling must be at
least 300 cm

2

to ensure that air can

circulate without hinderance.

The compressor will operate more
economically, the larger the ventilation
cross-section. Otherwise the appliance
has to work longer and harder, resulting
in an increase in electricity
consumption and also an increase in
the operating temperature of the
compressor, which can result in
damage to the compressor.

The ventilation gaps must not be
covered or blocked in any way.
They should be dusted on a regular
basis.

When built into a kitchen run (max.
depth 580 mm) the appliance can be
installed directly next to a kitchen
furniture housing unit. The appliance
door will protrude in front of furniture
fronts at the sides by 69 mm* and by
90 mm* in the middle of the door. This
enables the door to be opened and
shut without being obstructed.

When installed next to a wall d a
distance of approx. 50 mm must be
maintained on the hinge side between
the wall d and the appliance b,so
that the door and the handle have
