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 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 designed for use in a garage or outdoor
installation. Do not drape the unit with any covering.
levelling and anchoring the unit
To do this adjust the two levelling and anchoring feet at the front of
the unit.
If the unit is not level, the doors and magnetic seal alignments will
not be covered properly. If not anchored, the unit will move when
door is opened.
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. Please ensure there is more than twice
the width and depth distance space of the unit
to fully open the doors to a maximum angle.
