Load-bearing capacity of the niche
floor
To ensure the safe installation of the re-
frigeration appliance and to guarantee
its correct functioning, the floor of the
niche where the appliance is to be in-
stalled must be smooth and even.
It must be made from strong, rigid ma-
terial.
Because the refrigeration 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 con-
struction expert.
When fully loaded, the weight of the re-
frigeration appliance is approx.:
KF 2982 SF
1223 lbs
(555 kg)
Ventilation
Risk of fire and damage due to
insufficient ventilation.
If the refrigeration appliance is not
ventilated sufficiently, the compres-
sor will run more frequently and for
longer periods.
This causes increased energy con-
sumption and an increased com-
pressor operating temperature,
which can result in damage to the
compressor.
Please ensure that there is adequate
ventilation around the refrigeration
appliance.
Do not block the ventilation gaps.
The ventilation gaps must never be
obstructed.
