–Always selects screws with a length smaller than the thickness of the cabinet front.

–Protect the surfaces of the furniture doors during installation against damage.

The overall weight of the furniture door including the handle should not exceed the following values:

	the furniture door
30" (76 cm)

– Freezer drawer	25 lbs/11.5 kg
36" (91 cm)
– Refrigerator door	57 lbs/26 kg
– Freezer drawer	28.5 lbs / 13 kg

Instead of one large door, two furniture doors can be mounted next to each other in the case of appliances with a width of 30" (76 cm) and 36" (91 cm). These furniture doors are then connected using a metal strip on the rear.

This metal strip is available from your dealer as an installation accessory (Connection element for furniture doors). For further information see section “Tools and Accessories which are needed”.

When attaching the metal strip to the furniture doors, observe the maximum possible length of the screws and the position of the drill holes. Always screw into the best load-bearing material of the furniture door.

–If only one furniture door is to be attached to the door of a 30" or 36" wide appliance, attach the supplied sandwich plate to the adjusting rail and lock into position.
