FREE-STANDING MODEL FOR

FLOOR INSTALLATION ONLY

The room must be well ventilated and not used as a

bedroom.

Further the room should have a window (which can be

opened) or a door to the outside.

For best performance also at high ambient temperatures

there must be a free air circulation over the cooling unit

at the rear of the refrigerator.

Ensure that there is a free space of at least 4 inches (100

mm) above the refrigerator and that the ventilation ope-

ning on the top of the cabinet is not covered in any way.

Do not place the refrigerator in a space where air circu-

lation is restricted.

A clearance of at least 1 inch (25 mm) should be left

between the rear and sides of the refrigerator and the

surrounding walls.

This free-standing refrigerator requires accessibility to

the back for servicing the gas equipment. If allowed by

the Local Authorities, the accessibility can be obtained

by using a certified Flexible Metal Connector of Gas

Hose Assembly which would allow the refrigerator to be

withdrawn without disrupting the gas supply.

However, if the Local Authorities require a rigid gas

supply connector the refrigerator should be located with

sufficient space at the back for servicing or, if located

against a wall, a removable panel of a minimum size of

16” x 20” should be provided in the wall to allow access

to the rear of the refrigerator.

The refrigerator must be adjusted to a vertical position

in both directions.

Use the feet on the refrigerator to adjust its position.

CLEARANCES

Minimum clearances in inches to combustible materials

are:

SAE (UNF

5/8"
