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 10°C and 43°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 suitable for use in a garage or outbuilding. Do not
drape the unit with any covering.
Max. 160°

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 of 160°.
installing the door handle
Remove the screw hole plugs. Place the door handle in place and screw tightly. Cover the screw
holes with the door handle screw covers. Button the buckle between the handle and cover, then
snap to close the cover from the inside until a ‘pop’ sound is heard.
This is an easy-to-open door handle. No hard pull is required, instead just twist the handle gently
and the door can be pulled open easily.

installation
• Ensure the unit is unplugged and empty.
• To take the door off 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 flat 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
qualified technician. You should only try to reverse the door yourself if you believe that
you are qualified to do so.
