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.
