INSTALLATION
Location
The appliance should be installed well away from
sources of heat such as radiators, boilers, direct
sunlight etc. Best performance is obtained with
ambient temperature between
+18¡C and +43¡C(class T);
+18¡C and +38¡C (class ST);
+16¡C and +32¡C (class N);
+10¡C and +32¡C (class SN).
The class of your appliance is shown on its
rating plate.
Ensure that air can circulate freely around the back
of the cabinet. To ensure best performance, if the
appliance is positioned below an overhanging wall
unit, the minimum distance between the top of the
cabinet and the wall unit must be at least 100 mm
(A). Ideally, however, the appliance should not be
positioned below overhanging wall units (B).
Accurate levelling is ensured by one or more
adjustable feet at the base of the cabinet.
