Load-bearing capacity of the niche
floor
To ensure the safe installation of the
appliance and to guarantee its correct
functioning, the floor of the niche where
the appliance is to be installed must be
smooth and even.
It must be made from strong, rigid
material.
Because the appliance is extremely
heavy when fully loaded, it is essential
that the floor it stands on is able to bear
its weight. If necessary, seek the advice
of an architect or construction expert.
When fully loaded, the approx. weight
of the appliance is:
F 2671 Vi 348 kg
Ventilation

Risk of fire and damage due to
insufficient ventilation.
If the refrigeration appliance is not
ventilated sufficiently, the
compressor will run more frequently
and for longer periods.
This will result in increased energy
consumption and a higher operating
temperature of the compressor. This,
in turn, can result in damage to the
compressor.
Please ensure that there is adequate
ventilation around the appliance.
It is essential to observe the required
ventilation gaps. The ventilation gaps
must not be covered or blocked in
any way.
Side-by-side units
This appliance can be installed side by
side with another refrigeration
appliance. The following overview will
show you which side-by-side
installation options you have with your
refrigeration appliance.
Depending on the installation
situation, you may need the side-by-
side installation kit (see “Accessories -
Optional accessories”).
Instructions for installing appliances
side by side can be found in the side-
by-side installation kit installation
instructions.
