It is essential to read these Installa-
tion Instructions as well as the Oper-
ating and Installation Instructions for
your refrigeration appliances before
setup, installation, and use.
Risk of injury due to electric
shock.
The supply voltage is applied to the
appliance even if it is switched off.
Unplug the power cords for both re-
frigeration appliances prior to com-
mencing side-by-side installation.
The refrigeration appliances must be
installed side by side before in-
stalling them in the niche.
Risk of damage and injury due to
appliances tipping over.
The refrigeration appliances are very
heavy and can tip forwards when the
doors are open.
Keep the doors shut until the appli-
ances have been built in and secured
in their housings in accordance with
the Operating and Installation In-
structions.
Due to their weight and size, the re-
frigeration appliances must be in-
stalled by two people.
The following tools are required for
side-by-side installation:
– Torx T20 screwdriver
– Cordless screwdriver
– Hammer
– Pipe wrench
In addition:
– Material to place under the appli-
ances to protect the floor
– Adhesive tape

. . . with partition wall
The wall a between the side-by-side
appliances must be at least
5/8" (16mm) thick.
If the door hinges of the refigeration
appliances are next to each other,
you must take into account the thick-
ness of the cabinet fronts and door
handles so that the appliance doors
do not collide and become damaged
if they are opened at the same time.
a
If the partition wall a is narrower than
6 5/16" (160mm), you will need the
side panel heater from the side-by-
side merging kit to prevent condensa-
tion from forming and any resulting
damage (see section “Installing the side
panel heater”).
The side panel heater is attached to
the right side of the appliance that is on
the left (when seen from the front).
When planning niches, please note
that the niche into which the appli-
ance with the side panel heater is
installed must be
1/8"-1/4"(3–5mm) wider.
Connecting the side panel heater
leads to higher energy consumption.

The appliances are then secured indi-
vidually in their niche using the supplied
installation material (follow the instruc-
tions in the enclosed Operating and In-
stallation Instructions).
. . . without partition wall
If the appliances are to be installed next
to each other without a partition wall
between them, they will need to be
joined together with the side-by-side
merging kit. In addition, you must install
the side panel heater to prevent con-
densation from forming and any result-
ing damage (see from section “Prepar-
ing the refrigeration appliances”).
The door hinges of the appliances
must not be located next to each
other, otherwise the appliance doors
will collide and become damaged if
they are opened at the same time.
Connecting the side panel heater
leads to higher energy consumption.
