Your refrigerator needs air
The refrigerating unit of your refrigerator is designed for maintenance-
free operation. What it should never lack is good ventilation. Air is sup-
plied under the door through the ventilation slot between the refriger-
ator and storage surface. Air is extracted through the upper ventilation
grille. Never obstruct these openings by plinth screens or crockery.
If your refrigerator is installed under a
continuous worktop, an air outlet
opening of at least 200 cm
2
and a
ventilation grille (A/B) matching the
worktop design should be provided at
the rear of the worktop.
The cut surfaces of the worktop (C)
should be varnished to avoid swelling
due to penetration of moisture.
The appliance wall distance must be at
least 30 mm and should be checked
before the ventilation grille is inserted.
Special accessories:
A Ventilation grille, brown
B Ventilation grille, white
Detaching the worktop
After the worktop has been removed the appliance can be installed
underneath a continuous worktop.
The procedure is as follows:
Unscrew the Phillips screws (F) on the
right and the left.
Lift the worktop slightly, push it
about 20 mm towards the rear, and
lift it off upwards (G).
Unscrew the holding bracket (H) and
keep it in a safe place.
