Installing the appliance

Installation location

ãCAUTION

The appliance is very heavy.

Appliance width	Weight (empty)

Fridge-Freezer combination	440 lbs (198 kg)
30" (75.6 cm)

Fridge-Freezer combination	558 lbs (251 kg)
36" (90.3 cm)

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:

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

–1113/16" (30 cm) to an oil-fired or solid-fuel 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.

Climatic class	Permitted ambient temperature

SN	50	°F to 90 °F (+10 °C to 32 °C)
N	61	°F to 90 °F (+16 °C to 32 °C)
ST	61	°F to 100 °F (+16 °C to 38 °C)
T	61	°F to 110 °F (+16 °C to 43 °C)

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-tip 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-tip 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.

Neighbouring kitchen 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.
