Aligning the installation niche

The building-in niche must be carefully
aligned using a spirit level before the re-
frigeration appliance is installed. The
niche corners must be at 90° angles to
each other, otherwise the cabinet front
will not sit straight on all 4 corners of
the building-in niche.

Checking the installation niche

 Check the installation dimensions
(see "Installation – Installation dimen-
sions").
 Check the position of the electrical
connection. The length of the power
cord is 9' 10" (3 m).
The electrical socket must not be
concealed behind the appliance and
must be easily accessible in an
emergency.
 Check the surroundings for possible
collisions (see "Installation – Dimen-
sions with appliance door open").
 Only install the refrigeration appliance
in stable, solid building-in niches, po-
sitioned on an even and level floor.
 Also check the building-in niche for
the following criteria:
– The side panels of the installation
niche must be even.
– The surrounding walls of the installa-
tion niche must be at least
5/8" (16 mm) thick.
– The surrounding walls must be se-
curely fixed to the floor or wall.
– Shortened side walls must be at least
4" (100 mm) deep.
