Installation Location
A grounded electrical outlet should be located within 61 cm of either side of the appliance.Install the appliance on a flat floor. (Allowable slope under the appliance: 1°)The floor must be level, with a maximum slope of 2.5 cm under the appliance. If the slope is greater than 2.5 cm, the appliance cannot be levelled properly.Ensure that when the appliance is installed, it is easily accessible for an engineer in the event of a breakdown.Do not install the appliance in an area where it will be exposed to water and/or weather. Failure to follow this warning could result in risk of electric shock, injury, or product damage or malfunction.Do not install the appliance on a hollow or flexible platform. Doing so may cause excessive noise and vibration and result in damage or injury if the appliance tips over.A sturdy floor should support the total appliance weight of 78 kg.

Recommended Installation Spacing
The following clearances are recommended for the appliance. Although the appliance has been tested for clearances of 3 cm on the sides and rear, recommended clearances should be considered for the following reasons:Allow at least 46 cm in front to open the door.Allow at least 5 cm on both sides and between the back of the appliance and the wall.Allow at least 20 cm between the top of the appliance and any overhanging shelves or cabinets.If the appliance is too close to adjacent items, performance may decrease and electricity consumption may increase.Additional space should be considered on all sides of the appliance to reduce noise transfer.
Installation Spacing for Recessed Area or Closet Installation
There should be at least a little space around the appliance (or any other appliance) to avoid contact with walls, furniture, or other appliances during operation. Allow a minimum of 3 cm on all sides of the appliance to avoid increased noise or damage.Dimensions (mm)A 650B2 455C2 250D2 1889E2 1875F2 400G2 50H2 630I2 485J2 50K2 25L2 30For closet installation, with a door, minimum ventilation openings in the top and bottom of the door are required. Louvered doors with equivalent ventilation openings are acceptable.Minimum vent opening for built-in installation is 200 cm2.
Closet Ventilation Requirements
Closets with doors must have both an upper and lower vent to prevent heat and moisture build-up in the closet.One example shown uses vent grilles in the door.Upper vent opening with a minimum opening of 310 cm2 must be installed no lower than 185 cm above the floor.Lower vent opening with a minimum opening of 155 cm2 must be installed no more than 30.48 cm above the floor.
Electrical Connection
Do not use an extension cord or double adapter.Do not overload the outlet with more than one appliance.Connect the appliance to an earthed socket in accordance with current wiring regulations.The appliance must be positioned a place close to outlet sockets so that the plug is easily accessible.The power plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet socket that is installed and grounded/earthed in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not install the appliance in a wet or damp area.
Ambient Temperature
Temperature must be between 10 °C and 35 °C.If the ambient temperature is too low or high, performance may be affected.Do not install in direct sunlight or where the temperature may fall below 0 °C.
