Minimum space required to open door
The freezer needs a space of 600mm (24 inches) in front to allow the door to
open.
When positioning the 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 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).
Location & Air Circulation
Locate your 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 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 freezer.
● Minimise the risk of condensation on the outside of
the freezer.
● Minimise the running costs.
● Minimise operating sounds caused by vibration.
