It is important to observe the specified dimensions of
the installation cavity for a trouble-free installation of the
appliance and for the subsequent general view of the
furniture front.
– In particular ensure that the cavity is square. Squareness

fixtures are connected securely to the base or the wall by
suitable means.
FINGER GUARd
The finger guard is a safety device which is attached to the
hinge side of the appliance door. When the door is open, it
stops children and pets from inserting limbs unnoticed into
the crack between the door and the appliance and from being
hurt when the door is closed.
Important:
Under no circumstances may the appliance be
installed and operated without the finger guard.
BASE WARNING
