INSTALLATION
Location
When selecting a position for your unit you should make sure the oor is at and rm, and
the room is well ventilated with an average room temperature of between 16°C and 38°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 suitable for use in a garage or
outbuilding. 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.
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.

INSTALLATION
If the appliance is placed under a continuous worktop, the appliance lid (if applicable) may
be removed and a ventilation grille of at least 200 cm2(available from DIY shops or specialist
retailers) should be installed to the worktop above the rear of the appliance to increase
ventilation.
Benets of increased ventilation:
• Lowered power consumption • Improved cooling performance
• Reduce running costs • Prolong product life span
min. 200 cm2
Reversing the Door Swing
Tools required: Philips style screwdriver / Flat bladed screwdriver / Hexagonal spanner
1. Remove the 2 screws on the back.
• Ensure the unit is unplugged and empty.
• To take the door o it is necessary to tilt the unit backwards. You should rest the
unit on something solid, e.g. a chair just below the top panel.
• All parts removed must be saved to do the reinstallation of the door.
• Do not lay the unit at as this may damage the coolant system.
• We recommend that 2 people handle the unit during assembly.
• If you want to have the door swing reversed, we recommend that you contact a
qualied technician. You should only try to reverse the door yourself if you believe
that you are qualied to do so.
