Installing the appliance
WARNING
Danger of fire due to incorrect positioning!
If the mains cable or plug touches the back of the appliance, the vibration
can damage the mains cable or the plug resulting in a short circuit.
- Make sure the mains cable is not trapped under the appliance when you position the appliance.
- Stand the appliance so that it is not touched by connectors or main cables.
- Do not connect any appliances to sockets in the area of the back of the appliance.
- Do not place and operate multi-sockets/power distributors and other electronic devices (such as halogen trans‐formers) at the back of the appliances.
WARNING
Fire hazard due to dampness!
If live parts or the mains lead become damp this may cause short circuits.
- The appliance is designed for use in enclosed areas. Do not operate the appliance outdoors or in areas where it is exposed to splash water or damp conditions.
- Only use the appliance when it is installed.
WARNING
Leaking coolant and oil!
Fire. The coolant contained in the appliance is eco-friendly, but also
flammable. The oil contained in the appliance is flammable. Escaping coolant
and oil can ignite if the concentration is high enough and in contact with an
external heat source.
- Do not damage the pipelines of the coolant circuit and the compressor.
WARNING
Fire hazard and danger of damage!
- Do not place appliances emitting heat e.g. microwaves, toasters etc. on the appliance!
NOTICE
Risk of damage due to condensation!*
When assembling an appliance name beginning with S… or a side-by-side (SBS)
appliance:
- The appliance can be installed next to another refriger‐ator or freezer. If your appliance name does not begin with S…:
- Do not install the appliance next to another refrigerator or freezer.
NOTICE
Covered vents!
Damage. Appliance can overheat, which can reduce the service life of various
parts of the appliance and lead to operational impairments.
- Always make sure there is good ventilation.
- Always keep vents or ventilation grids in the appliance housing and in the kitchen furniture (fully integrated appliance) unobstructed.
- Always keep the fan air vents unobstructed.
- In the event that the appliance is damaged, contact the supplier immediately before connecting to the mains.
- The floor at the site must be flat and level.
- Do not install the appliance in a location where it is exposed to direct radiation of the sun, next to a cooker, heater and similar.
- Do not install the appliance alone: it is best to work together with two or more people.
- The more refrigerant there is in the appliance, the larger the space that it is installed in must be. If the space is too small, any leak may create a flammable mixture of gas and air. For every 8 g of refrigerant, the installation space must be at least 1 m3. Information regarding the coolant can be found on the type plate inside the appli‐ance.
- If the appliance is installed in a very damp environment, condensed water may form on the outside of the appli‐ance. Always make sure that there is good ventilation -both at air inlet and outlet – at the site of installation.
After installation:
- Remove protective films, adhesive tapes and transport lock parts etc.
Note
- Clean the appliance (see Operating Instructions, Chapter “Cleaning the appliance”).
Appliance dimensions
Fig. 1
Recess dimensions
This is a base unit and should be installed under a worktop. The kitchen units must be fitted according to the specifi‐cations, allowing sufficient ventilation to ensure the equip‐ment works properly.
Fig. 2
The specified energy consumption applies to a unit depth of 560 mm. The
appliance will work properly at a unit depth of 550 mm, but at a slightly
higher energy consumption.
- Check the wall thickness of the adjoining cabinets: it must be min. 16 mm thick.
- Align the kitchen unit using a spirit level and marking square and if necessary compensate with shims. Ensure that the floor and walls of the unit are at right angles to one another.
Unit door
- One door is required for the kitchen unit.
- The door must be at least 16 mm and maximum 19 mm thick.
- There must be a gap of minimum 3 mm width between the door and the unit door located above it (if one exists). The width of the unit door depends on the style of the kitchen and the gap size between the door panels of the cabinet. Generally, there should remain a vertical gap of 3 mm between the unit doors.
- If there are more cupboards the upper edge of the cabinet door should be at the same height as the doors on the next cabinet.
- The unit door must be planar and mounted stress-free.
NOTICE
Risk of damage from over-heavy unit door!
If the unit door is too heavy, damage to the hinges and resulting impairment
of function cannot be excluded.
- Before mounting the unit door, make sure that the door does not exceed the approved unit door weight.
Appliance model | Maximum unit door weight |

S/UIK/UIKP/UIG/UIGN/UIB/ | 10 kg |
Changing the door direction
NOTICE
Risk of damage due to colliding doors!*
When assembling an appliance with the appliance name beginning with S… next to
another appliance:
- Install the appliances so that the doors open outwards. Switch the door hinges, if necessary.
WARNING
Risk of injury due to the door dropping out!
If the fastening parts are not screwed into place firmly enough, the door may
drop out. This may lead to severe injuries. What is more, the door may not
close and therefore the appliance may fail to cool properly.
- Screw on the hinges and the ball stud of the soft stop mechanism firmly to 4 Nm.
- Screw on the bracket of the soft stop mechanism firmly to 3 Nm.
- Check all of the screws and retighten if necessary.
Note
You can change the direction of the door only if there is enough room at the
top to remove the hinge fixing brackets and refit them on the opposite side.
This is rarely the case once the unit is installed in the recess.
- Change the direction of the door before the appliance is installed.
- Risk of injury here! Follow the safety notes!
| These instructions apply to a range of models. Follow this step only if it
applies to your appliance.
