Installation
Your refrigerator needs ventilation
Integratable models (i-appliances)
The integrated door of the furniture cabi-
net largely seals the installation recess. i-
appliances must therefore be provided
with ventilation by having an opening in
the furniture plinth. The warmed air must
be able to be exhausted upwards through
the air shaft on the furniture back.
The ventilation cross-sections should be at
least 200 cm
2
.
Important note! In order not to impair the
function of the appliance, never cover or
obstruct the ventilation openings.
Models fitted for matching front panel (E-appliances)
Installation option 1 (optimum):
Optimum ventilation of E-appliances is
ensured through fresh air being able to
enter both under the appliance as well as
through an opening in the furniture
plinth. The warmed air must be able to be
exhausted upwards through the air shaft
(min. 200 cm
2
) on the furniture back.

It is necessary to avoid overheating of the refrigerator by maintaining
adequate distances from heat sources and by the use of a suitable
thermal insulation plate. Proper ventilation of the appliance must also
be ensured.
