Building the appliance into a
kitchen run

If the ventilation gaps given are
not observed, the compressor will
run more frequently and for longer
periods.
This will result in increased energy
consumption and a higher operating
temperature for the compressor. This
may, in turn, cause damage to the
compressor.
It is essential to observe the ventila-
tion gaps given.

* The appliance depth is increased by
approx. 35 mm for appliances with
wall spacers fitted.
The appliance can be built into a kit-
chen run and installed directly next to a
kitchen furniture housing unit. The front
of the appliance will protrude in front of
furniture fronts by 34 mm* at the sides
and by 55 mm* in the middle. This en-
ables the door to be opened and shut
without being obstructed. To align the
height of the appliance with adjoining
kitchen units a suitable top box
 can
be installed above it.
When installed next to a wall  a dis-
tance of at least 50 mm is required on
the hinge side between the wall

and
the appliance  so that there is enough
room for the handle when the door is
open.
The larger the ventilation gap, the
more economically the compressor
will work.
– A ventilation gap of at least 50 mm
depth must be provided at the back
of the appliance behind the whole
width of the top box for air to circu-
late.
– The cross-section of the air inlet and
outlet under the ceiling must be at
least 300 cm
2
to ensure that air can
circulate without obstruction.
