Installation
WARNING:
• Pipes and electrical fittings may only be fitted by qualified
specialists.
• During installation, the appliance must not be connected
to the mains power. Otherwise danger to life, as well as
risk of electric shock exists!
NOTE:
The appliance cover cannot be removed.
Requirements for the installation location
• Good ventilation is required around the appliance. Suffi-
cient clearance must be created for this purpose:
- Gap to the side walls and the back wall is 10 cm;
- Clearance in front of the appliance must be created
so that the appliance door can open without being
impeded.
• The ambient temperature should be between 5 and 35°C.
• Install the appliance in a clean location.
• Always set the appliance onto a stable and secure surface
in order to reduce vibration and noise to a minimum.
• If the appliance does not stand level, adjust the screw-in
feet accordingly (see “Adjusting the screw-in feet”).
• The appliance must be set up in such a way that the mains
socket is easily accessible.
• Avoid installing:
- On surfaces which are not heat resistant.
- Next to heating appliances, a cooker, direct sunlight, or
other sources of heat.
- In locations of high humidity (e.g. outdoors), since the
metal parts are susceptible to rust in these cases.
- In locations in which the temperature could fall below
the freezing point. Never expose the appliance to the
elements.
- Next to volatile and inflammable materials (e.g. gas,
petrol, alcohol, paint, etc.).
Adjusting the screw-in feet
Make sure that the appliance stands securely and level. Adjust
for an uneven floor by turning the screw-in feet.
The feet must have secure contact with the floor. Use a spirit
level to check whether the appliance is level. If the appliance is
not balanced, the screw-in feet must be adjusted again.
CAUTION:
The feet may not be removed. Do not block the gap between
floor and appliance with carpets, wood blocks, or similar.
This may cause a build-up of heat, which in turn impairs the
operation of the appliance.
Electrical connection
WARNING:
• The installation to the mains supply must conform to the
local standards and regulations.
• Improper connection may cause to an electric shock!
• In no event the device should be connected to an exten-
sion cord, adapter plug or the like.
• Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance. If the
plug does not fit properly to the outlet, let install a proper
outlet by an authorized specialist.
• The accessibility of the power plug must always be
ensured in order to disconnect the device from the power
supply in case of an emergency.
• Ensure that your mains power corresponds with the specifi-
cations of the appliance. The specifications are printed on
the rating label.
• Connect the mains cable to a properly installed and earthed
wall outlet.
• Use the required 12 amp fuse, a time delay fuse or circuit
breaker recommended and provide a separate power
protection for this device.
