Installation

Base

The new appliance will be mounted securely to adjacent and overhead furniture/fixtures.

For this reason it is essential that all attachable furniture/fixtures are connected securely to the base or the wall by suitable means.

Ventilation

The air intake and outlet must not be blocked or covered in any way. They also need to be dusted/cleaned on a regular basis.

Installation niche

To ensure safe, trouble-free installation and the best possible cosmetic result, check to be sure that the installation space complies with the installation dimensions. See "Niche dimensions".

The side walls of the installation cavity must be plumb.

The minimum thickness of the side walls and the top wall must be 5/8" (16 mm).

The minimum thickness of the toe-kick panel must be ½" (13 mm). A thickness of 3/4" (19 mm) is recommended.
