location
When selecting a position for your unit you should make sure the floor is flat and firm, and the
room is well ventilated with an average room temperature of between 16°C and 43°C. Avoid
locating your unit near a heat source, e.g. cooker, boiler or radiator. Also avoid direct sunlight as
it may increase the electrical consumption. Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also cause
the unit not to perform properly. This unit is suitable for use in a garage or outbuilding. Do not
drape the unit with any covering.

levelling the unit
To do this adjust the two levelling feet at the front of the unit.
If the unit is not level, the doors and magnetic seal alignments
will not be covered properly.
free space requirements
When installing the unit, ensure that 25 mm of
free space is left at both sides, 50 mm at the
rear of the unit and 25 mm at the top of the unit.
The door can be opened to the right or the left,
depending on which best suits the location.
Please ensure there is more than twice the width
and depth distance space of the unit to fully open
the door to a maximum angle of 160°.
If the appliance is placed under a continuous worktop, the appliance lid (if applicable) may
be removed and a ventilation grille of at least 200 cm
2
(available from DIY shops or specialist
retailers) should be installed to the worktop above the rear of the appliance to increase
ventilation.
Benefits of increased ventilation:
• Lowered power consumption
• Improved cooling performance
• Reduce running costs
• Prolong product life span
