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.
