Installation guide

Installation location
Do not install the appliance:
- outdoors,
- in an environment with dripping water,
- in rooms which are at risk of frost.

approx. 335 Ibs / 150 kg*
approx. 300 Ibs / 135 kg
approx. 360 Ibs / 160 kg
(* without Water Dispenser)
Installation room
The appliance should be installed in a dry, ventilated
room,
The ambient temperature should not drop below 55 °F
(13 °C) or rise above 110 °F (43 °C), otherwise
malfunctions may occur.
The installation location should not be exposed to direct
sunlight and not placed near a heat source, such as an
oven, radiator, etc. If installation next to a heat source is
unavoidable, use a suitable insulating plate or observe
the following minimum distances from the heat source:
- 11/4" (30 mm) from an electric cooker,
- 12" (300 mm) from an oil or solid-fuel cooker.
Installation cavity
It is important to observe the specified dimensions of
the installation cavity for a trouble-free installation of the
appliance and for the subsequent general view of the
furniture front.
[-i-] In particular ensure that the cavity is square.
Squareness can be checked by suitable means,
e.g. spirit level, diagonal measurements, etc.
r_The side walls of the cavity must be flush.
The minimum thickness of side walls and the top wall
must be 5/8" (16 mm).
The minimum thickness of toe kick panel must be
1/2" (13 mm).
A thickness of-Y4" (19 mm)is recommended.
Furniture/fixtures
The new appliance is screwed securely to adjacent
and overhead furniture/fixtures.
For this reason it is essential that all attachable
furniture/fixtures are connected securely to the
base or the wall by suitable means.
Base
A fully-load appliance is very heavy - for the
load-bearing capacity at least see the following table:
Refrigerator 24"
Refrigerator 30"
Freezer 18"
Freezer 24"
Freezer 30"
Wine unit 18"
Wine unit 24"
(* without Water Dispenser)
approx. 890 Ibs / 400 kg
approx. 1110 Ibs / 500 kg
approx. 560
approx. 780
approx. 950
Ibs 250 kg*
Ibs 350 kg*
Ibs 425 kg*
approx. 550 Ibs 245 kg
approx. 694 Ibs 310 kg
To ensure that the appliance is installed securely and
functions properly, the base must be flat and level.
The base must be made of a hard, rigid material.
The installation area must be the same height as the rest
of the room.
On account of the heavy weight of a fully loaded
appliance, a load-bearing base is required. If in doubt,
contact an architect or a building expert.
