*INSTALLATION* Installation Installation notes  Risk of damage and injury from the wine conditioning unit tipping over. The wine conditioning unit is very heavy and can tip forwards when the appliance door is open. Keep the appliance door shut until the wine conditioning unit has been installed and secured in its installation niche in accordance with these operating and installation instructions. Due to its weight and size, the wine conditioning unit must be installed by two people. Adjoining cabinetry The wine conditioning unit is screwed to the adjoining cabinetry to the side and above. For this reason, it is essential that all of the relevant cabinetry are secured to the ground or wall. 16 Load-bearing capacity of the niche floor To ensure the safe installation of the wine conditioning unit and to guarantee its correct functioning, the floor of the niche where the appliance is to be installed must be smooth and even. It must be made from strong, rigid material. Because the wine conditioning unit is extremely heavy when fully loaded, it is essential that the floor it stands on is able to bear its weight. If necessary, seek the advice of an architect or construction expert. When fully loaded, the weight of the wine conditioning unit is approx.: KWT 26x1 Vi 1486 lbs (674 kg) Ventilation  Risk of fire and damage due to insufficient ventilation. If the wine conditioning unit is not ventilated sufficiently, the compressor will run more frequently and for longer periods. This causes increased energy consumption and an increased compressor operating temperature, which can result in damage to the compressor. Please ensure that there is adequate ventilation around the wine conditioning unit. It is essential to observe the required ventilation gaps. The ventilation gaps must never be obstructed.
