Vitrifrigo DRW Sereis Installation Use And Service Manual page 42

Do not place anything over the ventilation grilles, nor cover them.
The recess must respect the minimum distances between the appliance and the surrounding structure,
and must have adequate ventilation opening onto the room's free environment in order to achieve correct
air circulation through the chimney effect, as indicated in fig. 5.3.
The recess must ensure that no electrically live part of the appliance is directly accessible (electronic
board, control unit and fan), equipping them with appropriate grilles as per the ventilation openings.
The grilles must have openings with dimensions of max. 5mm and they must be on at least one side (fig.
5.4).
The ventilation openings must have a minimum height not less than 75mm and must have dimensions
no smaller than the refrigerator's in terms of width if positioned above or below the appliance
(fig. 5.3), or height not less than 120mm and width not less than 120mm if positioned behind (fig. 5.4) .
The minimum distances between the various parts of the appliance and the recess structure must not be
less than 75mm (fig. 5.3).
For recess situations in compartments in which the minimum distance of 75mm is only respected at the
rear of the appliance, you must provide for ventilation openings on the same side, respecting the
instructions for their placement, their number and their dimensions as shown in fig. 5.4.
For recess situations with shelves in contact with the upper and lower parts of the appliance, you must
provide for ventilation openings above and below the appliance, as shown in fig. 5.3, or in the rear part,
as shown in fig. 5.4.
In all the situations of the described ventilation openings, just the minimum distance of 75mm from the
sides of the appliance may not be observed.
Fig. 5.4
NOTE
The minimum distances between the sides of the appliance (excluding the supporting surface) and any
structures around them must respect at least 75mm of space.
For installations without the recommended sufficient lateral ventilation, you must create air ducts in the
position and with the dimensions shown in fig. 5.4, equipped with suitable grilles* with openings no
greater than 5mm on each side.
Leave the appliance for at least one hour before switching it on. In the meantime, clean the appliance for
the first time.
