INSTALLATION GUIDE

This appliance must never be installed close to heat sources, e.g., heating elements or cookers, nor in damp places. Seek the help of another person, or two, when installing this appliance. This appliance may have sharp edges. Wear adequate PPE for the task and environment. To ensure the appliance is level, you should use the adjustable feet at the front of the appliance.

The cooling system at the rear of the appliance must not touch the wall. The greater the gap, the better. Before the installation,you should provide the inner dimension of your cabinet to your supplier and determine whether your product can be installed into your cabinet or not.

VENTILATION

The main consideration when installing any refrigeration unit into a fitted kitchen is ventilation. The heat from the cooling compartment needs to be dissipated. Incorrect ventilation can lead to premature compressor failure, excessive power consumption, total system failure and may invalidate the warranty provided with the appliance. For products intended to be installed into a tall unit, the following requirements need to be met: Make a 200 m2 opening for the ventilation

For products intended to be installed into a tall unit, the following requirements need to be met:

• An air passageway should be provided at the top of the cabinet to allow free air in and out.
• There should be space at the rear of the cabinet to allow cool air to be drawn over the condenser. Recommended: 500 x 40mm.
• A cutout should be made in the plinth below the fridge/- freezer. Finish it neatly by using the air vent grille. Alternatively, a thin section of the plinth can be removed to allow air into the unit (recommended 600mm x 10mm).

INSTALLATION

1. Place the product in front of the cabinet and connect the power cord.
2. With the help of another person, or two, maneuver the appliance into the cabinet.
3. Push the product half into the cabinet and install shims on hinges.
4. Use a wrench to adjust feet and check if the product is level.
5. There are two metal plates at the base of the appliance. Fit the supplied white spacers to these plates based on the following pics.
   • Ensure that the lips of the spacers are level with the lip of the cabinet base. As a rule, the more air that can get in and out, the better and more efficient the operation of the product.
6. Fix the lower fixed plate and install the screw cover following the pictures.
7. Fix the upper fixed plate and install the screw cover following the pictures.
8. Fix the hinges onto the cabinet side plate.
