3. Installation
Positioning
Install this appliance at a location where the
ambient temperature corresponds to the
climate class indicated on the rating plate of
the appliance:
Climate class Ambient temperature
SN + 10°C to +32°C
N + 16°C to +32°C
ST + 16°C to +38°C
T + 16°C to +43°C
Location
The appliance should be installed well away
from sources of heat such as radiators,
boilers, direct sunlight etc. Ensure that air
can circulate freely around the back of the
cabinet. To ensure best performance, if the
appliance is positioned below an
overhanging wall unit, the minimum distance
between the top of the cabinet and the wall
unit must be at least 100 mm. Ideally,
however, the appliance should not be
positioned below overhanging wall units.
Accurate leveling is ensured by one or more
adjustable feet at the base of the cabinet.
Warning! It must be possible to
disconnect the appliance from the mains
power supply; the plug must therefore be
easily accessible after installation.
Electrical connection
Before plugging in, ensure that the voltage
and frequency shown on the rating plate
correspond to your domestic power supply.
The appliance must be earthed. The power
supply cable plug is provided with a contact
for this purpose. If the domestic power
supply socket is not earthed, connect the
appliance to a separate earth in compliance
with current regulations, consulting a
qualified electrician.
The manufacturer declines all responsibility
if the above safety precautions are not
observed.
This appliance complies with the E.E.C.
Directives.
