Installation
Installation room
Install the appliance in a dry, well ventilated room.
The installation location should neither be exposed to direct
sunlight nor near a heat source, e.g. a cooker, radiator, etc.
If installation next to a heat source is unavoidable,
use a suitable insulating plate or observe the following
minimum distances to a heat source:
– 1
1

” (3 cm) to electric or gas cookers.
– from an oil or solid-fuel cooker 11

/
16
" (30 cm).
Ambient temperature
The climatic class can be found on the rating plate. It states
the room temperature within which the appliance can be
operated.
Ventilation
Never cover the ventilation openings in the base panel.
The cooling motor otherwise has to increase ist output,
and this increases the electricity consumption.
Installation cavity
It is important to observe the specified dimensions
of the installation cavity for a trouble-free installation
of the appliance and for the subsequent general view
of the furniture front.
In particular ensure that the cavity is square.
Squareness can be checked by suitable means,
e.g. spirit level, diagonal measurements, etc.
Furniture/Fixtures
The new appliance will be mounted securely to adjacent and
overhead furniture/fixtures.
For this reason it is essential that all attachable furniture/
fixtures are connected securely to the base or the wall
by suitable means. If making structural changes fix the
appliance in place again corresponding to the the installation
instructions.
Base
To ensure that the appliance is installed securely and
functions properly, the base must be flat and level.
The base must be made of hard, rigid material.
The installation area must be the same height as the rest
of the room.
On account of the heavy weight of a fully loaded appliance,
a load-bearing base is required. For the fully-loaded weight
see the following table:
– Freezer 18" 560 Ibs/250 kg
– Freezer 24" 780 Ibs/350 kg
– Freezer 30" 950 Ibs/425 kg
If in doubt, contact an architect or a building expert.
