INSTALLATION
Positioning
This appliance shoul only be installe at a location
where the ambient temperature correspon s to the
climate classification in icate on the rating plate,
which is locate at the left on the insi e of the
appliance.
The following table shows which ambient
temperature is correct for each climate classification:
SN +10°C to + 32°C
N +16°C to + 32°C
ST +18°C to + 38°C
T +18°C to + 43°C
It shoul be locate in a ry atmosphere, out of
irect sunlight an away from extreme temperature
e.g. not next to a boiler or ra iator, or in a very col
room e.g. an outhouse, where the temperatures may
fall below 10°C (50°F). If these temperatures are
excee e i.e. col er or warmer, then the appliance
may not operate correctly.
You shoul also ensure that air can circulate freely
aroun the back an the top of the cabinet. There
must also be at least 100 mm (4”) istance between
the top of the cabinet an any overhanging kitchen
furniture (A). I eally, the appliance shoul not be
positione beneath overhanging furniture (B).
There shoul also be a gap of 25 mm either si e of
the appliance. Do not obstruct the space
un erneath. The back of the cabinet may be place
close to the wall but must not touch it. DO NOT
install in places with restricte ventilation.
A just the level of the appliance by screwing out the

An accumulation of ust will affect the performance
of the appliance an cause excessive electricity
consumption.
Before any maintenance or cleaning work is carrie
out, DISCONNECT the appliance from the
ELECTRICITY supply.

When the appliance is not in use for long perio s,
isconnect from the electricity supply, empty all
foo s an clean the appliance, leaving the oors ajar
to prevent unpleasant smells.

INSTALLATION
Positioning
This appliance shoul only be installe at a location
where the ambient temperature correspon s to the
climate classification in icate on the rating plate,
which is locate at the left on the insi e of the
appliance.
The following table shows which ambient
temperature is correct for each climate classification:
SN +10°C to + 32°C
N +16°C to + 32°C
ST +18°C to + 38°C
T +18°C to + 43°C
It shoul be locate in a ry atmosphere, out of
irect sunlight an away from extreme temperature
e.g. not next to a boiler or ra iator, or in a very col
room e.g. an outhouse, where the temperatures may
fall below 10°C (50°F). If these temperatures are
excee e i.e. col er or warmer, then the appliance
may not operate correctly.
You shoul also ensure that air can circulate freely
aroun the back an the top of the cabinet. There
must also be at least 100 mm (4”) istance between
the top of the cabinet an any overhanging kitchen
furniture (A). I eally, the appliance shoul not be
positione beneath overhanging furniture (B).
There shoul also be a gap of 25 mm either si e of
the appliance. Do not obstruct the space
un erneath. The back of the cabinet may be place
close to the wall but must not touch it. DO NOT
install in places with restricte ventilation.
