The main consideration when installing any refrigeration unit into a fitted kitchen
is ventilation. The heat removed from the Cooling compartment needs to be
dissipated into the atmosphere. Incorrect ventilation can lead to premature
compressor failure, excessive power consumption, total system failure and may
invalidate the warranty provided with the appliance.
For products intended to be installed into a tall housing unit, the following
requirements need to be met:
An air passageway should be
provided in the top of the
cabinet run to allow free air in
and out.
There should be space at the rear of
the cabinet to allow cool air to be
drawn over the condenser.
A cutout should be made in the plinth
below the fridge/- freezer and this
finished neatly using the air vent grille.
Alternatively, a thin section of the plinth
can be removed to allow air into the unit
(recommended 600mm x 10mm)
