Vario cooling appliances are fixed at the top and
bottom of the niche, on the side opposite the hinge.
There is no fixation on the hinge side of the appli-
ance, because the finger protection slides in be-
tween the appliance and the adjacent cabinetry.
The side walls of the adjacent cabinetry have to be
dimensionally stable.
Vario cooling appliances can be installed handle-to-
handle as a side-by-side solution. In this case, the
side-by-side installation kit RA 460–000 is required.
With all appliance combinations, the additional
heating element RA 460–011 needs to be installed
between the appliances to avoid condensation.
This additional heating element is not necessary if
the distance between the appliances is greater
than 160 mm, or when the appliances are installed
side-by-side. The heating element does not take up
additional space. It is already included in the niche
dimensions and does not interfere with the finger
protection.
If Vario cooling appliances are joined together
hinge-to-hinge, one must plan an additional, dimen-
sionally stable plinth between the appliances for the
finger protection to function properly. If usability
limitations are acceptable (opening both appliance
doors at the same time is not possible), appliances
can be joined directly, using the additional heating
element RA 460–011.
When installing a Vario cooling appliance next to
a BO/BS oven, a side clearance of 60 mm is re-
quired if the BO/BS handle bar is on the same
side as the hinge of the Vario cooling appliance.
RA 460–000 Accessory for side-by-side installation.
RA 460–011 Additional side heating element.
RA 460–020 Connecting element for vertically split
appliance fronts (for a flush front).
RA 460–030 Connecting element for vertically split
fronts (for fridge-freezer combination with one door).
RA 460–040 Finger protection for extra long furni-
ture fronts.
RA 425–110 Handle bar Stainless steel, long.
Length 1131 mm, with three brackets. Drilling dis-
tance between each bracket 554 mm.
RA 425–130 Handle bar Aluminium, long. Length
1131 mm, with three brackets. Drilling distance be-
tween each bracket 554 mm.
RA 425–910 Handle bar Stainless steel, short.
Length 810 mm with two brackets. Drilling distance
between the brackets 787 mm.
RA 425–930 Handle bar Aluminium, short. Length
810 mm with two brackets. Drilling distance between
the brackets 787 mm.
To ensure correct kitchen planning it is essential
to take into account the opening angle of the appli-
ance door (plus fitted cabinet door and handle).
There should be no possibility of collision with
other kitchen furnishings (worktops, handles of
other cabinetry etc.) or parts of the room (walls,
protrusions etc.).
The space needed for the hinge and the conse-
quential distance to the adjacent cabinetry and its
handle can, depending on the panel thickness, be
seen in the following drawing. The drawing as-
sumes a panel thickness of 19 mm.
– Restrict the door opening angle to 90°
(standard 115°)
– Fit a spacer between the appliance and the cabi-
netry that and the cabinet that it would collide with.
– Rearrange surrounding cabinetry or appliance.

Installation niche for a side-by-side solution:
In a side-by-side solution, there are many ways to
combine the appliances.
The width of the installation niche is calculated from
the sum of the widths of the individual appliances.
The picture shows an example of an installation
niche with a width of 1,219 mm, for installing a
freezer (45.7 cm) on the left-hand side and a re-
frigerator (76.2 cm) on the right-hand side.
The height and depth of the installation niche cor-
respond to the specifications for the individual ap-
pliances.
It is important to comply with the dimensions in the
area set aside for electric and water connections.
For the precise dimensions, please refer to the de-
tails given for individual appliances.

A: Area where the electrical connection is installed
(appliance socket).
B: Area for laying the water connection line (if required).
It is very important to position the stop tap of the
water connection so that maintenance and repair work
is possible without dismantling the appliance.
Unlike conventional built-in appliances, Vario refrig-
erators stand on the floor.
This means that the installation niche is a space in
a line of kitchen units.
Installation niche for an individual appliance:
Important!
The walls and the crown of the installation niche
must be made of a solid material with a thickness
of at least 16 mm, to guarantee the secure instal-
lation of the appliance.
The side walls of the installation niche must be
completely even and flat along their entire depth.

The cabinetry, the height of the base board, the
overall height of the kitchen and other determining
dimensions of the kitchen must be taken into ac-
count, in order to plan the exact positioning of the
cabinet door so that the appliance integrates per-
fectly into the overall picture of the kitchen.
The following diagrams show the basic dimensions
of the special accessories door fronts/door front
frames for various appliances.
The dimensions of the doors shown are designed
for the following basic specifications:
– Height of the base board: 102 mm
– Overall height of the installation niche: 2134 mm
– Gap: 3 mm
– Panel thickness: 19 mm
These specifications provide you with a good start-
ing point for a variety of kitchen designs.
When designing a customised cabinet door, please
ensure that the back of the cabinet door is visible
to a height of 205 mm over the floor when opening
the appliance door and adapt to the front design.

Installation conditions
Location
Climate classes
The climate class is given on the rating plate.
It provides details about the range of room temper-
atures the appliance can be operated at.
Installation niche
The specified dimensions of the installation niche
must be observed to guarantee the proper installa-
tion of the appliance and the design of the cabinet
front.
It is particularly important that the installation
niche is square. The side walls must be smooth,
not have any protrusions or unevenness.
Use the appropriate tools, e.g. spirit level, diagonal
measurements, etc. to determine whether the
installation niche is square.
The side walls and the crown of the installation
niche must be at least 16 mm thick.
Neighbouring cabinetry
The new appliance is screwed firmly in place with
the neighbouring cabinet parts.
Care should be taken to ensure that all cupboards
onto which something is fastened, are connected
firmly to the floor or the wall.
The Plinth can be a maximum 19 mm thick.

Important!
Do not install appliance
– outdoors
– in damp rooms
– in rooms with a risk of frost
G
Important!
A fully loaded appliance is very heavy
Can weigh up to 540 kg.
G
Important!
Never install and operate an appliance without
finger protection.
G
Important!
Never connect the appliance to an energy-saving
plug or a converter that transforms direct current
into 230 V alternating current, (e.g. solar installa-
tions, power supply on board a ship).
To ensure that the appliance is installed securely
and functions properly, the surface must be level
and even.
The floor must consist of a hard, rigid material.
The floor in the installation area must have the same
height as the floor in the rest of the room.
Due to the heavy weight of a fully loaded appliance,
the floor beneath must be stable.
If in doubt, consult an architect, structural engineer
or construction expert.
The appliance should be installed in a dry, well
ventilated room.
The location of the appliance should not be subject
to direct sunlight or near a source of heat, such as
a cooker, a radiator, etc. If installation next to a
heat source is unavoidable, use a suitable insulat-
ing plate or observe the following minimum dis-
tances from the heat source:
– 30 mm from an electric cooker,
– 300 mm from an oil or solid-fuel-fired cooker.
Climate class Permissible room temperatures
SN +10 °C to 32 °C
N+16 °C to 32 °C
ST +18 °C to 38 °C
T+18 °C to 43 °C
The finger protection feature is a safety device
which is fitted on the hinge side of the appliance
door.
When the appliance door is open, it prevents chil-
dren from putting their hands in the gap between
the appliance door and the appliance and injuring
themselves when the door is closed.
Do not use an extension cable, adapter or distribu-
tor. To connect this appliance use a built-in wall
socket.
The socket used for connecting the appliance must
be easily accessible.
Connect the appliance to a 220 – 240 V/50 Hz
alternating current using a socket which has been
properly installed. The socket must be protected
using a 10 amp fuse or higher.
With appliances operated in non-European coun-
tries, check the rating plate to see if the specified
voltage and type of current is compatible with the
values of the power supply. The location of the rat-
ing plate is specified in the "Contacting customer
service/rating plate" section. If a mains cable must
be replaced, this can only be done by a skilled pro-
fessional.

19
Water connection
A cold-water connection is required to operate the
automatic ice maker. The water pressure must be
between 1.7 and 10 bar. The installation must be in
compliance with local plumbing regulations.
A separate stop valve must be installed in the cold
water supply. The stop valve must not be located
behind the appliance. It is advisable to install the
stop valve directly next to the appliance or in an-
other, easily accessible location (keywords serv-
ice/repair).
When installing the water connection, the permit-
ted installation areas for water pipes must be ob-
served.
The cold water connection can be fitted on the
right-hand side (a) or on the left-hand side (b).

The height of the cabinet door on the appliance is
dependent on:
– the overall height of the appliance,
– the distance from the bottom edge of the cabinet
door to the floor,
– the appliance type (one-door or multi-door appli-
ances).
The overall height of the appliance is 2,134 mm.
The height can be adjusted within a range of
-13 mm to +35 mm.
You must observe the minimum distance of 100 mm
between the upper edge of the floor and the bot-
tom edge of the cabinet door of the appliance.
This height can vary depending on the conditions
at the site.
It is possible, e.g. for design reasons, to lengthen
the cabinet door upwards by extending it beyond
the top of the appliance.
For design reasons, it may be necessary to in-
crease the distance between the upper edge of the
floor and the bottom edge of the cabinet door of
the appliance, so that it extends beyond the stan-
dard dimension of 102 mm. The maximum dimen-
sion is 181 mm.
If this is the case, air inlets and exhaust air outlets
and access to the water filter would become visi-
ble.
It must be ensured that the crown of the instal-
lation niche always has a depth of at least
100 mm (measured from the front edge of the
appliance). Only then can the secure installation
of the appliance in the installation niche be
guaranteed.
G
Important!
Poor ventilation leads to damage to the appliance.
Under no circumstances is it permitted to cover the
air inlets and the exhaust air outlets of the appli-
ance in the lower base area.
You must observe the minimum distance of 100 mm
between the upper edge of the floor and the bot-
tom edge of the cabinet door of the appliance.
Take this into consideration when adjusting the
appliance feet also.

In relation to the standard height, the maximum
height of the base board is 102 mm. The plinth can
be maximum 19 mm thick.
Adhesive connectors are supplied on the front
panel of the appliance for fitting the base board.
The air inlets and the exhaust air outlets of the
appliance, as well as the access to the water filter
(if available) are located above the base board.
They must not be covered.
