Installation
The air inlet and outlet must not be
covered or blocked in any way. They
must also be regularly cleaned of
dust.
Top ventilation gap
The ventilation gap at the top of the ap-
pliance can be constructed in different
ways:
a directly above the appliance with a
ventilation grille (free airflow of at
least 200 cm²)
b between the kitchen furniture and
the ceiling
c in a suspended ceiling
48
Furniture door panel
Horizontal and vertical gaps
Depending on the style of kitchen fur-
niture the thickness and edge radius of
the furniture door and the gap that runs
around the door, vertically and horizont-
ally, are specified.
It is essential to pay attention to the
following!
– Horizontal gap
The gap between the appliance fur-
niture door and the housing unit door
above or below it must be at least
3 mm.
– Vertical gap
If the gap between the appliance fur-
niture door and the adjoining housing
unit door or wall on the hinged side
is too small, the appliance door
could collide with the adjoining hous-
ing unit door or wall when opened.
It may be necessary to adjust the
size of this gap to suit the thickness
and edge radius of the appliance fur-
niture door.
This must be taken into consideration
when planning your kitchen and when
replacing an old appliance with a new
one to ensure the installation conditions
required are met.
