trouble-free and, most importantly, safe.
5

Installation options
There are many different installation options.
These are limited only by the design of the kitchen and
the function of the finger guard.
Individual unit
Side-by-Side
Individual appliances with partition
* Partition required!
IT] When 2 appliances are installed Side-by-Side,
the Basic Combination Side-by-Side Sealing kit
must be used to ensure a stable connection.
See the section on "Optional accessories" on
page 17.
%Note
When dimensioning the partition for model 4, note
the thickness of the furniture fronts to prevent
damage if the doors are opened at the same time.
Use the Extreme Combination Side-by-Side
Heating kit if the gap between the appliances is
less than 6" (160 mm).
See the section on "Optional accessories" on
page 17.
Minimum thickness of the partition 5/s" (16 mm).
At the end of the kitchen units
If one side of the appliance is visible, a side panel must
be used.
The side panel must be connected firmly to the wall,
the floor and overhead furniture/fixtures before the
appliance is placed in the cavity.
The dimensions of the side panel are taken from the
opposite cavity wall. During installation ensure that the
cavity is square and the exact size.

Installation location
Do not install the appliance:
- outdoors,
- in an environment with dripping water,
- in rooms which are at risk of frost.
Appliance is very heavy - for empty weight see the
following table:
Refrigerator 24"
Refrigerator 30"
Freezer 18"
Freezer 24"

Wine unit 18"
Wine unit 24"

approx. 300 Ibs /135 kg*
approx. 335 Ibs /150 kg*
approx. 300 Ibs /135 kg
approx. 360 Ibs /160 kg
(* without Water Dispenser)
Installation room
The appliance should be installed in a dry, ventilated
room,
The ambient temperature should not drop below 55 °F
(13 °C) or rise above 110 °F (43 °C), otherwise
malfunctions may occur.
The installation location should not be exposed to direct
sunlight and not placed near a heat source, such as an
oven, radiator, etc. If installation next to a heat source is
unavoidable, use a suitable insulating plate or observe
the following minimum distances from the heat source:
- 11/4" (30 mm) from an electric cooker,
- 12" (300 mm) from an oil or solid-fuel cooker.
Installation cavity
It is important to observe the specified dimensions of
the installation cavity for a trouble-free installation of the
appliance and for the subsequent general view of the
furniture front.
[-i-] In particular ensure that the cavity is square.
Squareness can be checked by suitable means,
e.g. spirit level, diagonal measurements, etc.
r_The side walls of the cavity must be flush.
The minimum thickness of side walls and the top wall
must be 5/8" (16 mm).
The minimum thickness of toe kick panel must be
1/2" (13 mm).
A thickness of-Y4" (19 mm)is recommended.
Furniture/fixtures
The new appliance is screwed securely to adjacent
and overhead furniture/fixtures.
For this reason it is essential that all attachable
furniture/fixtures are connected securely to the
base or the wall by suitable means.
Base
A fully-load appliance is very heavy - for the
load-bearing capacity at least see the following table:
Refrigerator 24"
Refrigerator 30"
Freezer 18"
Freezer 24"
Freezer 30"
Wine unit 18"
Wine unit 24"

Ibs 250 kg*
Ibs 350 kg*
Ibs 425 kg*
approx. 550 Ibs 245 kg
approx. 694 Ibs 310 kg
To ensure that the appliance is installed securely and
functions properly, the base must be flat and level.
The base must be made of a hard, rigid material.
The installation area must be the same height as the rest
of the room.
On account of the heavy weight of a fully loaded
appliance, a load-bearing base is required. If in doubt,
contact an architect or a building expert.

Connecting the power
Electrical Shock Hazard
- Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
- Do not remove ground prong.
- Do not use an adapter.
- Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in
death, fire, or electrical shock.
The appliance comes with a 3-wire power supply cord,
UL listed in the USA.
The appliance requires a 3-wire receptacle.
The receptacle must be installed by a licensed
electrician only.
The receptacle must be fitted with a 10A fuse or higher.
Please observe in this coherence the following table:

Orient ground prong to the bottom as shown in the
pictures.
For the installation position of the receptacle see
"Installation dimensions", page 8.
Additional grounding procedure
Some local regulations may require a seperate ground.
In such cases, the required accesseory ground wire,
clamp and screw must be purchased seperately.
Never ground the appliance to plastic plumbing lines,
gas lines or water pipes.
Grounding instruction
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of
a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce
the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least
resistance for the electric current.
Improper connection of the equipment grounding
conductor may result in electric shock. Have the
appliance checked by a qualified electrician or
service technician if you are in doubt as to whether
the appliance has been properly grounded.
Connecting the water
A cold water connection is required for operation of
the automatic ice maker. The water pressure must
be between 25 and 120 p.s.i. (1.72-8.25 bar).
The installation must comply with local plumbing
regulations.
A separate shut-off valve must be installed for the
appliance water connection.
The shut-off valve for the water connection must not be
behind the appliance. It is recommended to place the
shut-off valve directly next to the appliance (base unit)
or in another easily accessible location.
When installing the water connection, observe the
permitted installation areas for the pipe. For the
permitted installation areas and dimensions see
"Installation dimensions", page 8.
The supply pipe can be located at the side on the right
(a), at the side on the left (b) or underneath (c).
Maximum outer diameter of the water pipe
(without fittings): 13/32" (10 mm).
Attach a separate shut-off valve for the water
connection in a suitable, easily accessible location.
Do not use a self-piercing valve!

- Wine storage units
Therefore the diagrams may not be a true
representation of your appliance.
Particular reference is made to special installation
steps for individual appliance types.
1. Checking the installation cavity
To ensure a safe, trouble-free installation and an
optimum overall view of the subsequent furniture
front, thoroughly check that the installation cavity
complies with the installation requirements.
Before starting the installation, check that the installation
cavity complies with all requirements for a safe and
trouble-free installation.
Q Checkthe base.
Follow the instructions in the section on "Installation
location" on page 7.
