Important note:
When performing any work on the door panels, always
observe the following:
Always screw into the best load-bearing material of
the door panel.
Never screw into fillers, decorative strips or similar.
Select a screw length which is always shorter than
the thickness of the door panel.
To prevent damage, protect surfaces of the door
panels during installation.
The total weight of the door panel must not exceed the
following values:
18" Appliance 44 Ibs/20 kg (19 lbs/8.5 kg *)
24" Appliance 55 Ibs/25 kg (32 lbs/14.5 kg *)
30" Appliance 64 Ibs/29 kg
(* Wine unit)
Important information for furniture doors with cutout
(appliances with ice and water dispenser, wine storage
cabinets):
The cut edges of the door cutout must be protected
before humidity penetrates. To do this, use the means
suitable for the material and the shape of the furniture
door (e. g. edge veneer, edge sealant).
When attaching the door panels, it is recommended to
load the door storage compartments in the appliance
with weights in order to ensure that the gap width is as
precise as possible.
