INSTALLATION

Warning

IF YOU ARE DISCARDING AN OLD
APPLIANCE THAT HAS A LOCK OR CATCH
ON THE DOOR, YOU MUST ENSURE THAT IT
IS MADE UNUSABLE TO PREVENTYOUNG
CHILDREN BEING TRAPPED INSIDE.

Depending upon the position which you choose
for your appliance, you may wish to reverse the
way in which the door opens. To do this, refer to
instructions on “Door reversal directions”
paragraph.

Positioning

This appliance is designed to operate in
ambient temperatures between 10°C (50°F) and
32°C (90°F). It should be located in a dry
atmosphere, out of direct sunlight and away
from extreme temperature e.g. not next to a
cooker or other sources of direct heat, or in a
very cold room e.g. an outhouse, where the
temperatures may fall below 10°C (50°F). If
these temperatures are exceeded i.e. colder or
warmer, then the appliance may not operate
correctly.

You should also ensure that air can circulate
freely around the back and the top of the
cabine”. There must also be at least 100 mm
(4”) distance between the top of the cabinet and
any overhanging kitchen furniture (Fig. 1-A).
Ideally, the appliance should not be positioned
beneath overhanging furniture (Fig. 1-B).
