• Your appliance should be at least 50 cm away from stoves, Gas ovens and heater cores, and should be at least
5 cm away from electrical ovens.

• Your fridge freezer should be positioned at least 20mm away from another freezer.
• Clearance of at least 150 mm is required at the top of your appliance. Do not place anything on top of your

• For safe operation it is important that your fridge freezer is safe and balanced. The adjustable feet are used to
level your fridge freezer. Make sure that your appliance is level before placing any foodstuffs
