Before setting up and switching the appliance on for the
first time, read the mounting instructions fully and
thoroughly.
ãWarning
The appliances are very heavy and must be
secured from tipping when transporting, when
mounting and when operating. It is absolutely
necessary to fit an anti-tip device.
Keep the doors closed until the appliance has been
mounted completely and secured according to the
instructions in these mounting instructions.
Because of the weight / dimensions of the
appliance and to minimise the risk of injuries and
damage to the appliance at least two persons are
necessary to set-up the appliance securely.
Use the appliances according to the prescribed
application.
Pull out the plug or remove the fuse before
commencing work on the appliance.
Only customer service may change the power cord
and carry out any other repairs. Improper
installations and repairs may put the user at
considerable risk.
Apart from statutory national regulations, you
should stick to the connection terms relating to the
local electricity and water companies.
ãCaution
Setting up and mounting this appliance requires
extensive expertise in various trades (mechanics,
carpentry, plumbing, electrics).
It is the duty of the person setting the appliance up
to guarantee that it is set up and commissioned
securely.
Mistakes in setting the appliance up and damage
resulting from this do not come under the warranty
of the manufacturer. Terms of guarantee are found
in the operating instructions of the appliances.

R
Installation Possibilities
Various installation possibilities are available.
These are only limited by the kitchen design and the
finger protector function.
Stand alone appliance
Side-by-Side set up
Stand alone appliance with dividing
wall
When measuring the dividing wall for model 4, pay
attention to the thickness of the furniture front to be
mounted in order to avoid damage when opening
doors at the same time.
If the distance between the appliances is less than
160 mm, the auxiliary side heater must be used.
For further information see section “Tools and
Accessories which are needed”.
The minimum thickness of the dividing walls
is 16 mm.
Stand alone appliance as an end
section to a row of kitchen units
If a side of the appliance is visible, use a side covering.
The side covering must be connected firmly to the wall,
the floor and the upper cupboards before the appliance
is slid into the installation niche.
The dimensions of the side covering are governed by
the opposing niche wall. During installation, make sure
that the installation niche has right angles and has the
exact size necessary for the appliance.

S
Installing the appliance
Installation location
ãCaution:
The appliance is very heavy. Data relating to the
weight when empty is found in the following
table:
* without water and ice dispenser
The appliance should be installed in a dry, well
ventilated space.
The location should not be exposed to the direct
sunlight and should not lie next to a source of heat such
as a cooker or a radiator etc. If installation next to a
source of heat cannot be avoided, either a suitable
insulating plate should be used or you should keep to
the following minimum distances:
3 cm to electric or gas cookers.
30 cm to an oil-fired or solid-fuel cooker.
The floor of the installation location must not give way;
if required, reinforce floor. To ensure that the ice maker
functions correctly, the appliance must be upright.
Atmosphere grades
The climate class can be found on the rating plate.
The climate class indicates within which ambient
temperatures the appliance can be operated.
Stable installation
The appliance is very heavy and has a tendency to tilt
forwards when the appliance door is opened.
The appliance must not be switched on until there
is no possibility of the appliance tilting over.
The safest method of installing the appliance in a stable
position is to use the supplied anti-tilt brackets.
If the installation cavity is adequately stable and the
appliance can be attached securely to the upper and
side walls of the cavity, it may be possible to dispense
with the anti-tilt brackets. A prerequisite for this is
always a firm connection between the cavity and back
wall!
In the case of doubt, the help of architect or specialist
builder should be enlisted.
Installation niche
It is important to keep to the stated dimensions of the
installation niche with a view to trouble-free fitting, and
the subsequent appearance of the kitchen furniture
frontage.
Special care should be taken that the niche has right
angles. The side walls should not exhibit areas that
stick out, projections or unevenness.
You should determine the right angles of the installation
niche with appropriate means, e.g. by measuring
diagonally and by using a spirit level.
The side walls and the upper end of the installation
niche must be at least 16 mm thick.
Neighbouring kitchen furniture
The new appliance is screwed down tightly using parts
of the cabinet and the upper cabinet.
Care should therefore be taken, that all upper cabinets
to which something has been fastened are securely
connected to the subsurface or wall by appropriate
means.
The minimum thickness of the base should be
aminimumof19mm.

T
Subsurface
ãCaution:
A fully laden appliance is heavy, data relating to
the weight when empty is found in the following
table.
* without water and ice dispenser
The subsurface must be level and even in order to
ensure that the appliance is securely installed and
works correctly.
The subsurface must be made from a hard, non-flexible
material.
The floor of the installation space must have the same
height as the rest of the space.
On account of the weight of a fully-laden appliance, it is
necessary to have a bearing subsurface. In the case of
doubt, the help of architect or specialist builder should
be enlisted.
Aligning the appliance
To ensure that the appliance functions correctly, it must
be set level with a spirit level.
If the appliance is not level, water may flow out of the
ice maker, ice cubes may be irregular or the doors may
not close properly.
Electrical connection
The socket must be near the appliance and also freely
accessible following installation of the appliance.
The appliance complies with the protection class I.
Connect the appliance to 220–240 V/50 Hz alternating
current via a correctly installed socket with protective
conductor. The socket must be fused with a 10 to 16 A
fuse.
For appliances operated in non-European countries,
check whether the stated voltage and current type
match t h e v alues of y o u r m a ins supply match the values
of the mains supply. These specifications can be found
on the rating plate.
ãWarning:
Never connect the appliance to electronic energy
saver plugs. Our appliances can be used with
mains and sine-controlled inverters. Mains-
controlled inverters are used for photovoltaic
systems which are connected directly to the
power supply system. Sine-controlled inverters
must be used for isolated applications (e.g. on
ships or in mountain lodges) which are not
connected directly to the national grid.
Water connection
ãWarning:
Connect the appliance to a cold water pipe only.
A cold water connection is necessary for operating the
automatic ice maker. The water pressure must lie
between 1.7 and 10 bar. The installation must
correspond to the local plumbing regulations.
A separate shut-off valve should be installed in the cold-
water inflow.
The shut-off valve should not be located behind the
appliance. It is recommended that you mount the shut-
off valve directly next to the appliance or at another
place which is easily accessible.
When installing the water connection, pay attention to
the permissible installation area for the water mains.
For more information concerning the permissible
installation area, see the section “Dimensions of the
installation niche”.
Note, if the water line for the cold water connection is
not included in the product package:
For connection to the drinking water mains use
only water pipes which are suitable for drinking
water. Observe national regulations and the
connection conditions of the local water supply
companies.
The maximum outside diameter of the water mains
(without connecting pieces) is 10 mm.
