Mounting Dimensions and Required Air Circulation
The rear wall of the appliance is getting warm during the operation of the appliance (and water is
evaporating from the drain pan on the compressor). You must therefore provide for adequate air
circulation on the rear of the appliance.
• At the base of the kitchen unit intended for building in the integrated appliance, there should be
at least 200 cm˛free space, for adequate air circulation.
• On the upper part of the appliance the air is coming out, so try not to cover the opening for the
outflow air.

Changing the Direction of Opening the Door
If you find the direction of opening the door on your appliance inconvenient, you can change it.
Holes on the opposite side have already been prepared in the factory and are now plugged.
• Remove the cover of the upper hinge, unscrew the hinge and take off the door (the door is not
fixed on the lower hinge).
• Unscrew the upper rail, replace it to the opposite side of the appliance and fix it.
• Remove the washer from the lower hinge and unscrew (rotate it in clockwise) the fastener on the
lower hinge.
• Replace the fastener and the washer in reverse order into the opening of the lower hinge on the
opposite side of the appliance.
• Take off all door corners and interchange them (instead of the corner with a hole insert the one
without the hole and vice versa).
• Put the door of the appliance on the lower hinge.
• Fix the upper hinge and cover it.
• Replace the slide guides to the opposite side of the door.
• Plug the remaining holes with decorative caps.
• Check the gasket, it shouldn't be creased and it should seal well. In case it does not fit perfectly,
pull it out and rotate for 180°.
In certain models it is not possible to replace the door gasket.
Should the seal not adhere to the casing of the appliance perfectly, it will have to be heated from
a suitable distance (by means of hair drier, for example) and lightly stretched to the required
height.
Changing the Direction of Opening the Door on the Freezing Compartment
• Unscrew the blocking element and the hinge of the freezing compartment and take off the door.
• Plug the holes with plastic caps provided.
• Shift safety spring to the lower side of the door.
• Turn the door for 180° and replace it on the opposite side of the freezing compartment. Fix the
hinge and the blocking element of the door (position of holes already provided).
