Installation
 WARNING: 

Do not install the appliance:
ʋ

outdoors,

ʋ

in an environment with dripping water,

ʋ

in rooms which are less than 32 °F (0 °C).

ʋ

A fully-loaded appliance is very heavy.

Installation room
The appliance should be installed in a dry, well 

ventilated space.
The location should not be exposed to the direct 

sunlight and should not lie next to a source of heat 

such as a cooker or a radiator etc. If installation next to 

a source of heat cannot be avoided, either a suitable 

insulating plate should be used or you should keep to 

the following minimum distances:
ʋ

1 1/4" (3 cm) to electric or gas cookers.

ʋ

12" (30 cm) to an oil or coal-fired cooker.

The floor of the installation location must not give way; if 

required, reinforce floor. To ensure that the ice maker 

functions correctly, the appliance must be upright.

Climatic classes
The climate class can be found on the rating plate.
The climate class indicates within which ambient 

temperatures the appliance can be operated.

Stable installation
The appliance is very heavy and has a tendency to tilt 

forwards when the appliance door is opened.
The appliance must not be switched on until there is no 

possibility of the appliance tilting over.
The safest method of installing the appliance in a stable 

position is to use the supplied anti-tilt brackets.
If the installation niche is adequately stable and the 

appliance can be attached securely to the upper and 

side walls of the niche, it may be possible to dispense 

with the anti-tilt brackets. A prerequisite for this is 

always a firm connection between the niche and back 

wall!
In the case of doubt, the help of architect or specialist 

builder should be enlisted.

Installation niche
It is important to keep to the stated dimensions of the 

installation niche with a view to trouble-free fitting, and 

the subsequent appearance of the kitchen furniture 

frontage.
Special care should be taken that the niche has right 

angles. The side walls should not exhibit areas that 

stick out, projections or unevenness.
You should determine the right angles of the installation 

niche with appropriate means, e.g. by measuring 

diagonally and by using a spirit level.
The side walls and the upper end of the installation 

niche must be at least 5/8" (16 mm) thick.

Furniture
The new appliance is screwed down tightly using parts 

of the cabinet and the upper cabinet.
Care should therefore be taken, that all upper cabinets 

to which something has been fastened are securely 

connected to the subsurface or wall by appropriate 

means.
The minimum thickness of the base should be a 

minimum of 3/4" (19 mm).

Floor
The subsurface must be level and even in order to 

ensure that the appliance is securely installed and 

works correctly.
The subsurface must be made from a hard, non-flexible
material.
The floor of the installation space must have the same 

height as the rest of the space.
On account of the weight of a fully-laden appliance, it is 

necessary to have a bearing subsurface. In the case of 

doubt, the help of architect or specialist builder should 

be enlisted.

Aligning the appliance
To ensure that the appliance functions correctly, it must
be levelled properly.
If the appliance is not level, water may flow out of the 

ice maker, ice cubes may be irregular or the doors may 

not close properly.
