Installation Securing the appliance in the niche ^ Pull out the lugs for the side fixing plates g. ^ Screw the lugs for the fixing plates f into the furniture/units above the appliance. If it is not possible to secure the appliance above, it can be attached to the niche at the sides only. ^ Screw on the lugs for the side plates. ^ If necessary, cut trim h to the necessary depth. ^ Join the two pieces of trim together i. ^ Click them into position j.
Installation When installing two appliances side by side, the filler strips for the two appliances need to be joined together to form one long strip. ^ Open the appliance door and drawer. ^ Insert the joining peg from the side-by-side kit halfway into the channel in the filler strip for the left-hand appliance. ^ Then insert the free half of the joining peg into the channel on the other strip, and press the two strips together. ^ Click the two filler strips into place above the appliances.
Installation Connect the appliance to the water inlet hose (see "Mains water connection"). Preparing the furniture front To ensure the correct alignment of the furniture fronts, it is vital to fix the upper furniture door before fixing the lower one. ^ Load the door shelves in the refrigerator door. ^ Open the appliance door as far as it will go. ^ Measure gap X between the adjusting bar and the upper edge of the adjacent furniture front.
Installation – The fixing frame has several different types of holes to take account of a variety of furniture fronts. – When securing the frame, always screw into the strongest part of the furniture door. – To do this, select screws which are slightly shorter than the thickness of the furniture door. ^ Screw the appliance handle to the furniture door from the inside. ^ Mark gap X on the inside of the furniture front. ^ Similarly, locate and mark the midpoint Y on the furniture front.
Installation Securing and aligning the furniture door ^ Press the angle trim on both sides into the white plastic frame, and screw them down securely. Replacement screws for this can be found in the plastic bag marked with the letter E. ^ Screw the nuts o loosely onto the threaded bolts - but do not tighten yet. ^ Close the appliance door and check the distance between the door and neighbouring furniture doors. ^ Insert the angle trim as far as it will go into the spaces in the frame, as shown.
Installation Fitting the fixing brackets Repeat the steps from "Preparing the furniture fronts" to fit the furniture front to the freezer drawer. The positioning of the freezer drawer front must be aligned to that of the refrigerator door front. When fitting the drawer front, bear in mind the gap between the drawer and door fronts: The fixing brackets are used to secure the furniture fronts at the bottom. ^ Open the freezer drawer as far as it will go. ^ Loosen the screws (1).
Installation Securing the covers ^ Fit the plastic cover strips to the refrigerator door and freezer drawer, clicking them into the space between the appliance door/drawer and the furniture front, starting at the bottom and working up to the top. ^ Now attach the covers onto the retaining clips on both sides. In the case of side-by-side installation, the cover strips are only required on the outer side. ^ Secure the retaining clips for the space covers on both sides.
Installation Fitting the plinth facing Do not cover the vents in the plinth. This could result in damage to the appliance. ^ Trim the plinth facing to the required length and height (cut along the lower edge of the plinth facing where it touches the floor). ^ Fit the cover to the light contact switch so that it clicks into place as shown. ^ Fit the cover to the top edge of the freezer drawer, as shown. ^ Secure the plinth to the appliance, and attach the cover caps supplied. ^ Now fit the plinth facing.
Installation Fitting the air separator The air separator in the bottom of the ventilation grille separates air entering the appliance from that leaving it. It also stops warm air flowing into the appliance, which would cause a short circuit. ^ If necessary the three parts of the air separator can be shortened to the correct height. ^ Replace the foam parts in the sides. ^ Clip the air separator to the left and right of the partition in the exhaust grille.
