- Air intake occurs via the plinth  at
the bottom of the appliance and the
air escapes at the top  at the back
of the housing unit.
- A ventilation gap of at least 40mm
depth must be allowed behind the re-
frigeration appliance for air to circu-
late.
- The ventilation cross-sections in the
plinth, housing unit and above the
appliance must each provide an un-
obstructed airflow of at least 200cm²
to ensure that warm air can circulate
without hindrance.
If ventilation grilles are to be inserted
into the ventilation gaps, the ventila-
tion gaps must be larger than
200cm². The unobstructed airflow of
200cm² is calculated by adding up
the total area of ventilation openings
in the grilles.
- Important. The larger the ventilation
gaps, the less energy the refrigeration
appliance will use.
The ventilation gaps must not be
covered or blocked in any way. They
must also be regularly dusted.
Top ventilation gap
The ventilation gap at the top of the ap-
pliance can be constructed in different
ways:
a
directly above the appliance with a
ventilation grille (free airflow of at
least 200cm²)
b
between the kitchen furniture and
the ceiling
c
in a suspended ceiling
