Installation recess

The refrigerator must be installed draught-proof
in a recess (also refer to Section "4.1.4"). The
measurements of the recess are stated in the
table below. Step A (Fig.31) is only required for
cabinets with a step. Push the appliance far
enough into the recess until the front edge of the
refrigerator casing is aligned with the front of the
recess. Allow a gap of 15-20 mm between the
back wall of the recess and the refrigeration
unit. The floor of the recess must be level, allo-
wing the appliance to be pushed easily into its
correct position. The floor must be substantial
enough to bear the weight of the appliance.
Ensure that the refrigerator is installed level
in the recess.

4.5.1 Installation in the recess

Note: When installing the appliance ensure
that the door hinges are supported. Figure 28
shows the optimum installation of the refrige-
rator, whereas Fig. 29 shows the minimum
requirement with the maximum clearance bet-
ween installation area and end of hinge. If the
installation is carried out as per Fig. 30, the
hinge is not capable of supporting the possible
load in the door. It is therefore essential that
the maximum clearance of 40 mm not be
exceeded
