Appliance dimensions

Recess dimensions

This is a built-in appliance and is therefore completely enclosed by a kitchen cabinet The kitchen cabinet surrounding the appliance must be designed exactly in accordance with the specified fitting dimensions and must allow sufficient air circulation to ensure the correct operation of the appliance.

The declared energy consumption was determined with a kitchen cabinet depth of 560 mm. The appliance is fully functional with a kitchen cabinet depth of 550 mm but will have a slightly increased level of energy consumption.

• For side-by-side installation of two appliances next to each other install each appliance in its own kitchen cabinet.
• Check the wall thickness of adjacent cabinets: It must be at least 5/8 in. (16 mm).
• Only install the appliance in solid, fixed kitchen cabinets. Ensure that the cabinets cannot tip over.
•  Align the cabinets with a spirit level and a try square. If necessary level them by putting something underneath them.
• Ensure that the floor and the side panels of the cabinet are at right angles to each other.

 Cabinet door

• A door is required for the kitchen cabinet.
• The door must be at least 5/8 in. (16 mm) and no more than 3/4 in. (19 mm) thick.
• There must be a gap of at least 1/8 in. (3 mm) between the door and the cupboard door above it (if there is one).
• The width of the cabinet door depends on the style of the kitchen and the size of the gap between the door panels of the cupboard. Normally a vertical gap of 1/8 in. (3 mm) should be left between the cabinet doors.
• If there are other cabinets the top edge of the cabinet door should be at the same height as the doors on the adjacent cabinets.
• The cabinet door must be assembled flat and free from tension.

NOTICE
An excessively heavy unit door can cause potential damage!
If the unit door is too heavy, we cannot rule out damage to the hinges, which may compromise the use of the unit.

• Before installing the unit door, ensure the door does not exceed the permissible weight.

Total height of the cabinet (i.e. 70 3/8 in. (1788 mm)) plus the thickness of the cover and floor plate Fig. 3 (a) (normally 3/4 in. (19 mm)): 70 3/8 in. + 3/4 in. + 3/4 in. = 71-7/8 in.
(1788 mm + 19 mm + 19 mm = 1826 mm)

Kitchen cabinet setup for the water filter*

The water filter module is supplied with the appliance. It should be installed near the appliance in the cabinet, for example in the adapter cabinet above the appliance. To connect the filter to the appliance, it may be necessary to make an opening (C) on the floor of the adapter cabinet through which the hoses will be routed. The maximum length of the water hose is 98-7/16 ” (2.5 m).
The filter cover must be installed during assembly, so leave sufficient space around the filter module.
