Mounting instructions for refrigerating and freezing appliances are for quali
fi
ed technicians only.
Appliance should be mounted and installed in compliance with these instructions, current standards and
regulations. Mounting instructions were prepared for various types/models of appliances, therefore they
may describe some procedures that do not apply to your appliance.
Mounting Dimensions and Required Air Circulation
The rear wall of the appliance is getting warm during the operation of the appliance and water is evapo-
rating from the drain pan on the compressor. You must therefore provide for adequate air circulation on
the rear of the appliance.
At the base of the kitchen unit intended for building in the integrated appliance, there should be at least
200 cm² free space, for adequate air circulation.
On the upper part of the appliance the air is coming out, so try not to cover the opening for the out
fl
ow
air.
Changing the Direction of Opening the Door
If you
fi
nd the direction of opening the door on your appliance inconvenient, you can change it. Holes on
the opposite side have already been prepared in the factory and are now plugged.
Remove the cover of the upper hinge, unscrew the hinge and take off the door (the door is not
fi
xed on
the lower hinge).
Unscrew the upper rail, replace it to the opposite side of the appliance and
fi
x it.
Remove the washer from the lower hinge and unscrew (rotate it in clockwise) the fastener on the lower
hinge.
Replace the fastener and the washer in reverse order into the opening of the lower hinge on the op-
posite side of the appliance.
Take off all door corners and interchange them (instead of the corner with a hole insert the one without
the hole and vice versa).
Put the door of the appliance on the lower hinge.
Fix the upper hinge and cover it.
Replace the slide guides to the opposite side of the door.
Plug the remaining holes with decorative caps.
Check the gasket, it shouldn’t be creased and it should seal well. In case it does not
fi
t perfectly, pull it
out and rotate for 180°. In certain models it is not possible to replace the door gasket.Should the seal
not adhere to the casing of the appliance perfectly, it will have to be heated from a suitable distance (by
means of hair drier, for example) and lightly stretched to the required height.
Changing the Direction of Opening the Door on the Low Temperature Compartment
Unscrew the blocking element and the hinge of the low temperature compartment and take off the door.
Plug the holes with plastic caps provided.
Shift safety spring to the lower side of the door. (certain models only)
Turn the door for 180° and replace it on the opposite side of the low temperature compartment. Fix the hinge
and the blocking element of the door (position of holes already provided).
