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 not designed for use in a garage or outdoor installation. Do not drape the unit
with any covering.
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 100 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 adequate space for the
door to fully open to 160°.
