out by at least two persons to avoid
any physical injury or damage to the
appliance.
• The appliance must stand level or tilted
slightly to the back, stable on a solid
base. At the front, the appliance is fitted
with two adjustable legs that can be used
to level the appliance. At the rear side,
casters allow for easier installation of the
appliance (only with some models).
• There should be a clearance of at least 5
cm (2 ) between the appliance and any
cupboard installed above it, in order to
allow adequate cooling of the condenser
unit.
