Installation , WARNING: Do not install the appliance: outdoors, in an environment with dripping water, in rooms which are less than 32 °F (0 °C). Appliance is very heavy: BottomFreezer 36": Empty weight approx. 430 Ibs/195 kg Installation room The appliance should be installed in a dry, ventilated room. The ambient temperature should not drop below 55 °F (13 °C) or rise above 110 °F (43 °C), otherwise malfunctions may occur. The installation location should not be exposed to direct sunlight and not placed near a heat source, such as an oven, radiator, etc. If installation next to a heat source is unavoidable, use a suitable insulating plate or observe the following minimum distances from the heat source: 11/4" (30 mm) from an electric range, 12" (300 mm) from a gas range. Stable installation The appliance is very heavy and has a tendency to tilt forwards when the appliance door is opened. Do not open the door until there is no possibility of the appliance tilting over. The safest method of installing the appliance in a stable position is to use the supplied anti-tip devices. If the installation enclosure is adequately stable and the appliance can be attached securely to the upper and side walls of the installation enclosure, this may provide additional stability. A prerequisite for this is always a firm connection between the installation enclosure and back wall! If in doubt, contact an architect or a building expert. Installation enclosure Note: It is strongly recommended the top panel of the niche be of solid material at least 5/8" (16 mm) thickness. If, for some reasons, a seperate niche cabinet is created, make sure that the furniture return area is at least 4" (100 mm) deep. It is important to observe the specified dimensions of the installation enclosure for a trouble-free installation of the appliance. In particular ensure that the installation enclosure is square. Squareness can be checked by suitable means, e.g. level, diagonal measurements, etc. Furniture The new appliance must be screwed securely to adjacent and overhead furniture. For this reason it is essential that all attachable furniture are connected securely to the floor or the wall by suitable means. Floor , WARNING: A fully-loaded appliance is very heavy - for the loadbearing capacity minimum see the following: BottomFreezer 36" approx. 1200 Ibs/540 kg To ensure that the appliance is installed securely and functions properly, the floor must be flat and level. The floor must be made of a hard, rigid material. The floor in the installation area must be at the same level as the rest of the room (no step up or down). On account of the heavy weight of a fully loaded appliance, a load-bearing floor is required. If in doubt, contact an architect or a building expert. Aligning the appliance To ensure that the appliance functions correctly, it must be levelled properly. If the appliance is not level, water may flow out of the ice maker, ice cubes may be irregular or the doors may not close properly. 7
