How to Install Your Fridge
Here you will find tips on how to install your new appliance. Be aware that installation methods and measurements may vary from model to model. It's important to check the installation manual for model-specific details.
Installing the unit
- Take into account the thickness of the door panel, when placing units side by side, to avoid damage when opening the door(s).
- During installation, make sure that the installation niche has the correct angles and exact size necessary.
- Make sure the door can be swung open at least 115°, taking into account the door handle. If there are drawers, ensure they are unobstructed and can be pulled out easily.
Installation options
Whether you choose to install the fridge along a dividing wall or have it stand alone, here are the ideal situations for ease of use.
1. Stand alone
1. For sufficient ventilation, ensure that there isn't a wooden panel behind the built-in fridge.
2. Ensure that there is sufficient space between the fridge and the wall, to prevent obstruction when opening the door.
2. Stand alone with dividng wall
1. The minimum distance between 2 built-in fridges is 50mm.
2. The powerpoint connection for the fridge should not be behind the fridge as it would prevent easy access to the power switch.
