Installation
Location & Air Circulation
Locate your fridge freezer away from sources of heat e.g.
cookers, radiators, direct sunlight as extreme temperature
will affect its performance.
Allow a minimum 100mm (4 inches) between the top of
the fridge freezer and the ceiling or the underside of a
wall cupboard.
Providing you follow the recommended ventilation
requirements you will :-
Prolong the life of the fridge freezer.
Minimise the risk of condensation on the outside of
the fridge freezer.
Minimise the running costs.
Minimise operating sounds caused by vibration.

Minimum space required to open door
The fridge freezer needs a space of 600mm (24 inches) in front to allow the door
to open.
When positioning the fridge freezer next to a unit, a gap of 30mm (1
1 /
4
inch) can
be left at the hinge side of the door to allow the easy removal of furniture. If
preferred the fridge freezer can be positioned so that a gap is not left. This will
restrict how far the door can be opened but the furniture can still be removed
(see diagrams below). The door hinge side can be changed to make it easier to
open (see ‘Door Reversal’ in the CLEANING & MAINTENANCE section).
