Installation
room
The appliance
should be installed in a dry, ventilated
room,
The ambient temperature
should not drop below 55 °F
(13 °C) or rise above 110 °F (43 °C), otherwise
malfunctions
may occur.
The installation
location should not be exposed
to direct
sunlight and not placed near a heat source, such as an
oven, radiator, etc. If installation
next to a heat source is
unavoidable,
use a suitable insulating plate or observe
the following
minimum
distances
from the heat source:
-
11/4" (30 mm) from an electric cooker,
-
12" (300 mm) from an oil or solid-fuel cooker.
Installation
cavity
It is important
to observe the specified
dimensions
of
the installation
cavity for a trouble-free
installation
of the
appliance
and for the subsequent
general view of the
furniture front.
[-i-] In particular ensure that the cavity is square.
Squareness
can be checked
by suitable means,
e.g. spirit level, diagonal measurements,
etc.
r_The
side walls of the cavity must be flush.
The minimum
thickness
of side walls and the top wall
must be 5/8" (16 mm).
The minimum
thickness
of toe kick panel must be
1/2" (13 mm).
A thickness
of-Y4" (19 mm)is
recommended.
Furniture/fixtures
The new appliance
is screwed
securely to adjacent
and overhead
furniture/fixtures.
For this reason it is essential that all attachable
furniture/fixtures
are connected
securely to the
base or the wall by suitable means.
Base
A fully-load
appliance
is very heavy - for the
load-bearing
capacity
at least see the following

To ensure that the appliance
is installed securely and
functions
properly, the base must be flat and level.
The base must be made of a hard, rigid material.
The installation
area must be the same height as the rest
of the room.
On account
of the heavy weight of a fully loaded
appliance,
a load-bearing
base is required.
If in doubt,
contact
an architect or a building expert.
