• The cooling system at the rear of the
appliance must not touch the rear wall.
The greater the gap, the better.
• The appliance must be installed with
adequate ventilation. Ensure that there
is clearance above the appliance to allow
air to escape and that there is space
between the rear of the appliance and
the wall.
Ventilation
The main consideration when installing
any refrigeration unit into a fitted kitchen
is ventilation. The heat removed from
the cooling
compartment needs to be dissipated into
the atmosphere. Incorrect
ventilation can lead to premature
compressor failure, excessive power
consumption, total system failure and
may invalidate the warranty provided
with the appliance. For products
intended to be installed into a tall
housing unit, the following requirements
need to be met:
•
An air intake should be provided
somewhere in
the cabinet run to allow free air in.
•
A cutout should be made in the
plinth below the fridge/ freezer
and this finished neatly using the
air vent grille supplied.
•
Alternatively, a thin section of the
plinth can be removed
to allow air
into the unit (recommended
600mm x 10mm).
•
The top of the cabinet needs
to be vented into the room.
Recommended size of vent
opening: 500 x 30mm.
If the
furniture does not allow free
air into the room then a plinth
vent, or other means of
ventilation needs to be
provided to ensure a natural
flow of air.
•
There should be space at the
rear of the cabinet to allow cool
air to be drawn over the
condenser.
Recommended:
500
x 35mm
For the correct operation of the
appliance it is important that the top of
the housing unit is not blocked off. A
channel depth of 40-50mm is normal
with most units.
A ventilation hole is required in the plinth
of the unit; this allows air to
be drawn over the compressor & heat
exchange. A decorative grille is supplied
with the appliance to finish this vent
neatly. Alternatively the required air flow
can be achieved by removal of a thin
section of plinth (recommended 600mm
x 10mm minimum).
As a rule, the more air that can get in
and out, the better and more efficient
the operation of the product.
Installation into the cabinet
With the help of another individual, or
two, maneuver the appliance into the
cabinet. There are two metal plates at
the base of the appliance. Fit the
supplied white spacers (Fig. 8) to these
plates, as per Fig. 9.
Ensure that the lips of the spacers are
level with the lip of the cabinet base.
With the base of the appliance aligned
correctly with the edge of the cabinet
base, the metal trim at the top of the
