Mounting Dimensions and Required Air
Circulation

The rear wall of the appliance is getting warm during the operation
of the appliance (and water is evaporating from the drain pan on
the compressor). You must therefore provide for adequate air
circulation on the rear of the appliance.
x At the base of the kitchen unit intended for building in the

integrated appliance, there should be at least 200 cm² free
space, for adequate air circulation.

x On the upper part of the appliance the air is coming out, so try

not to cover the opening for the outflow air.

Changing the Direction of Opening the Door

If you find the direction of opening the door on your appliance
inconvenient, you can change it. Holes on the opposite side have
already been prepared in the factory and are now plugged.
x Remove the cover of the upper hinge, unscrew the hinge and

take off the door (the door is not fixed on the lower hinge).

x Unscrew the upper rail, replace it to the opposite side of the

appliance and fix it.

x Remove the washer from the lower hinge and unscrew (rotate it

in clockwise) the fastener on the lower hinge.

x Replace the fastener and the washer in reverse order into the

opening of the lower hinge on the opposite side of the
appliance.

x Take off all door corners and interchange them (instead of the

corner with a hole insert the one without the hole and vice
versa).

x Put the door of the appliance on the lower hinge.
x Fix the upper hinge and cover it.
x Replace the slide guides to the opposite side of the door.
x Plug the remaining holes with decorative caps.
x Check the gasket, it shouldn't be creased and it should seal

well. In case it does not fit perfectly, pull it out and rotate for
180°.
In certain models it is not possible to replace the door gasket.
Should the seal not adhere to the casing of the appliance
perfectly, it will have to be heated from a suitable distance (by
means of hair drier, for example) and lightly stretched to the
required height.
