Ventilation System Installation
When Borg & Overström u2 undercounter
units are installed inside a cabinet or
housing, adequate ventilation is
recommended to ensure that they operate
satisfactorily.
During a cooling cycle it is normal for the
unit to produce heat, and the purpose of
ventilation is to provide a supply of air
that can absorb the generated heat which
would otherwise accumulate inside the
cabinet or housing, and reduce the cooling
performance of the unit. The amount of heat
generated by the cooling cycle depends
directly upon the amount of usage – the
higher the usage, the more heat produced.
To provide adequate ventilation we
recommend that air grilles/vents are fitted
as supplied (or vent apertures formed) in
the cabinet to allow an airflow as shown
below. Normally this should be enough for
all situations.
In conjunction with an inlet vent grille set into
the front of the plinth, it is recommended that
a ducting box and duct is installed in the
base of the cabinet. Another slot located in
the base is responsible for allowing airflow
past the condenser positioned at the rear of
the dispenser. Instructions for installing the
ventilation system are as follows:
Using the supplied templates, cut the bottom and kickboard panel of the installation cabinet.
