Securing the appliance in the niche ^ Pull out the lugs for the side fixing plates g. ^ Screw on the lugs for the side plates. ^ Screw the lugs for the fixing plate f into the furniture/units above the appliance.
Installation When installing two appliances side by side, the trims for the two appliances need to be joined together to form one long strip: ^ Open both appliance doors. ^ Insert the joining peg from the side-by-side kit halfway into the channel in the trim for the left-hand appliance. ^ Then insert the free half of the joining peg into the channel on the other trim, and press the two trims together. ^ Click the two trims into place above the appliances.
Installation Connect the water inlet hose to the appliance (see "Mains water connection"). Preparing the furniture fronts To ensure the correct alignment of the furniture fronts, it is vital to fix the furniture door to the refrigerator before fixing the drawer front to the freezer. ^ Load the door shelves in the appliance door. ^ Open the appliance door as far as it will go. ^ Measure the gap X between the adjusting bar and the upper edge of the adjacent furniture front.
Installation ^ Mark the gap X on the inside of the furniture front. – The mounting 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. ^ Similarly, locate and mark the midpoint Y on the furniture front.
Installation Securing and aligning the furniture door ^ Press the pieces of angle trim m on both sides into the white plastic frame, and screw them down securely. Spare screws can be found in the plastic bag marked "E". ^ Screw the nuts o loosely onto the threaded bolts, but do not tighten yet. ^ Close the door and check the distance between the door and neighbouring furniture doors. ^ Insert the angle trim m as far as it will go into the spaces in the frame, as shown.
Installation When fitting the drawer front, bear in mind the gap between the drawer and the refrigerator door front: ^ Measure the gap Y between the adjusting bar on the freezer drawer and the refrigerator door. ^ A gap of 3 mm needs to be maintained between the drawer and refrigerator door. Fitting the fixing brackets The fixing brackets are used to secure the furniture front to the freezer drawer at the bottom. ^ Open the freezer drawer as far as it will go. ^ Slightly loosen the screw (1.).
Installation Securing the covers ^ Fit the two cover strips to both sides of 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 covers on both sides.
Installation Fitting the plinth facing Do not cover the vents in the plinth. This will damage 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. ^ Secure the plinth to the appliance, and attach the cover discs supplied. ^ Fit the cover to the top edge of the freezer drawer as shown. ^ Now fit the plinth facing.
Installation Fitting the air separator The air separator in the vent underneath 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. ^ Refit the foam parts in the sides. ^ Clip the air separator to the left and right of the partition in the exhaust grille.
