INSTALLATION
Installation
Location
When selecting a position for your unit you should make sure the floor is flat and firm, and
the room is well ventilated with an average room temperature of between 16°C and 32°C.
Avoid locating your unit near a heat source, e.g. cooker, boiler or radiator. Also avoid direct
sunlight as it may increase the electrical consumption. Extreme cold ambient temperatures
may also cause the unit not to perform properly. This unit is not designed for use in a garage
or outdoor installation. Do not drape the unit with any covering.
Levelling the Unit
To do this adjust the two levelling feet at the
front of the unit. If the unit is not level, the
doors and magnetic seal alignments will not
be covered properly.
Installing the Spacers
Screw the spacers to the left and right side
of the unit’s rear part.
Free Space Requirements
When installing the unit, ensure that 25
mm of free space is left at both sides,
50 mm at the rear of the unit and 25
mm at the top of the unit. The door
can be opened to the right or the left,
depending on which best suits the
location.
Please ensure there is more than twice
the width and depth distance space
of the unit to fully open the door to a
maximum angle of 160°.
