This appliance is heavy, take care when moving it. To avoid back or other injury,
consider a two person lift or mechanical aid when installing it. Failure to do so can
result in back or other injury. The appliance has two roll wheels underneath the back

WARNING:
Ventilation:
To ensure proper ventilation, keep any ventilation openings,
in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear of obstructions. Ensure
adequate air circulation around the appliance to prevent overheating.
• Level:
Install the appliance level in order to ensure proper operation.
• Location:
Choose a well ventilated indoor area that meets the following requirements:
—
Ambient temperature:
The ambient temperatures must correspond to the climate
class (T) indicated on the rating plate of the appliance: 18°C – 43°C.
—
Floor surface:
The floor must be sturdy, level and strong enough to support the
unit when it is fully loaded. We recommend you place a plastic mat underneath the
appliance if your floor covering is sensitive to moisture.

Areas to avoid:
Avoid areas where the appliance would be exposed to direct
sunlight, sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, oven, etc.), extreme cold ambient
temperatures or excessive moisture and high humidity (such as outdoors or exposed

save energy consumption and running costs.
