Check the installation location
Check the cabinetry
– Check the dimensions of the cabinetry: height (A), width (B), depth (C),
floor level, finished alcove returns.
– Ensure that the ventilation openings in the cabinetry are clear of obstruction.
Check the power supply connection
– Ensure that there is a separate power socket for each appliance.
– Avoid sharing the power point with other appliances to prevent accidental
switching off of the appliance.
– For power requirements, refer to the information on the serial plate.
– Ensure your appliance is properly grounded (earthed).
– Connect your appliance to an electrical supply with the fitted plug and lead.
– If power connection is located behind the appliance, we recommend to
install an isolating switch to a location that is easily accessible to the user
for repair or disconnection.
– Follow local codes and ordinances when installing the appliance.
Check the water supply connection (for Freezer models only)
– We recommend connecting the hose to exit at an angle if there is not
enough clearance between the cabinet wall and back of appliance.
