Several plastic bags are included which are numbered alphabetically. The bag needed for each step will be marked with its respective letter. ^ Use the included Torx screwdriver to tighten the screws. Anti-tip brackets The anti-tip brackets help keep the appliance safely secured to the installation niche to prevent tipping.
Installing the appliance ^ Drill pilot holes: In a cabinet with a back wall 1 – /8" (3 mm) for 5 x 60 mm wood screws – 1 /16" (2 mm) for 4 x 15 mm wood screws. ^ Tightly secure the anti-tip brackets in the niche. Be certain that the screws penetrate through the flooring and into the wall plate a minimum of 3/4" (19 mm). ^ screw the back wall of the cabinet in several places directly to the wall behind it. For this, use suitable plugs/screws depending on the type of wall.
Installing the appliance Securing an alternative anti-tip device – The beam must cover the appliance by at least 2" (50.8 mm). If the anti-tip brackets cannot be attached securely, an alternative anti-tip device can be used. Ensure that there is no "give" between the appliance and the anti-tip device. ^ Mark the installation height (lower edge of the beam) on the rear wall of the niche. If possible, always screw the wooden beam to existing studs.
Installing the appliance Sliding the appliance into the installation niche If a side-by-side installation is desired, connect the two appliances together. See the Installation Manual included with the "Merging Kit". ^ Plug the appliance into the power outlet b. The plug of the appliance should be easily accessible after installation. If the plug is not accessible after the appliance has been installed, disconnection from the power supply should be completed via the circuit breaker.
Installing the appliance Aligning the appliance ^ Align the appliance with the custom front. Important! When unscrewing the height-adjustable feet, proceed gradually, alternating between left and right. ^ Unscrew the height-adjustable feet until the mark on the base has reached the indicated guide dimension 1 1/4" (32 mm). The guide dimension of 1 1/4" (32 mm) is related to a niche height of 84" (2134 mm).
Installing the appliance Note: – The adjustment of the rear feet is aided if the appliance is lifted at the rear (tipped forward slightly). If there is no way to attach the top of the appliance, it can be attached to the sides of the installation niche. Attaching the appliance to the installation niche ^ Pull out the plate side lugs i. ^ Secure the attachment plate side lugs. ^ Screw the attachment plate lugs h to the overhead furniture/fixtures.
Installing the appliance ^ Insert both filler strips into the installation space above the appliance, until they click into place. ^ Open both appliance doors. ^ If necessary, shorten the filler strip j to the required height. ^ Place the 2 strips on top of each other k. ^ Insert the filler strip until you hear it click into place l.
Installing the appliance Now connect the water supply to the appliance (see "Plumbing"). Preparing the custom door For best results, it is important to mount the upper door before the lower door. ^ Open the appliance door. ^ Measure the distance X between the bracket from the upper door and the overhead furniture/fixtures. ^ Loosen the two nuts. Set aside the nuts - you will need them again later. ^ Unscrew the installation supports n from the appliance door.
Installing the appliance ^ Mark the distance X on the back-side of the custom door. ^ Also calculate and mark the center of the custom door Y. ^ Remove the mounting frame from the appliance door and position it according to the markings on the custom door. ^ Pre-drill the holes. ^ Tightly screw on the bracket using the pre-drilled holes: Attach the bracket to each attachment point with at least one screw. ^ Attach the bracket at the top with at least 10 screws.
Installing the appliance Attaching and aligning the custom door front ^ Align the custom door height with the threaded bolts p. ^ Now tighten the nuts q on top. This secures the appliance door. ^ Open the door and hang the custom door with the mounting frame over the threaded bolts p. ^ Put the side strips o back into place and screw them completely down on both sides of the appliance door. Bag E contains spare screws for this purpose. ^ Screw the nuts q a few turns onto the threaded bolts p.
Installing the appliance Note the size of the upper custom door front: The fixing brackets are used to secure the custom door front to the bottom of the appliance door. ^ Open the appliance door all the way. ^ Slightly loosen the screw (1.). ^ Position the fixing bracket on the appliance door (2.) and pre-drill a hole in the custom door front. ^ Screw the fixing bracket securely to the custom door front (3.). ^ Tighten the screw (4.).
Installing the appliance Attaching the covers ^ To mount the cover strips on both sides of the upper and lower doors, click them into place from bottom to top, into the gap between the appliance door and the custom door. ^ Insert the cover strip into the space between the appliance and the side panel. For side-by-side combinations, the cover strips (on both sides of the appliance) are applied to the outermost spaces only. ^ Attach the light switch cover.
Installing the appliance ^ Remove the foil from the adhesive strips. ^ Insert the cover plate on the freezer compartment door. Attaching the toe-kick cover The maximum height of the toe-kick cover is 4" (101 mm) from the top of the floor. Do not cover the ventilation slits in the plinth. Risk of damage to the appliance. ^ Attach the toe-kick cover to the plinth. ^ If required, cut the toe-kick cover to the required length and height.
Installing the appliance Mounting the air separator The air separator keeps the supply and exhaust air separate. This prevents warm exhaust air from flowing into the machine, optimizing the energy performance of the unit. ^ If necessary, shorten the three parts of the air separator. ^ Insert the foam pieces back into the sides. 76 ^ Clip the air separator, left and right of the partition, in the exhaust grille. Be sure that it clicks into place and guides the foam partition under the exhaust grille.
Plumbing All plumbing work should be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person, in accordance with all applicable local and national regulations.
