- Center the appliance.
- Carefully open the drawer. Check that the tilt protection is secure.
- Screw the appliance into place.
Figures 2 & 3 illustrate the installation process within a cabinet. This includes required internal cabinet clearances: minimum height of 550mm, minimum side clearance of 35mm, minimum width of 560mm (+8mm tolerance), and minimum depth of 590mm (+5mm tolerance). It also shows clearance requirements for installation under a worktop, with a maximum worktop overhang of 30mm and a vertical clearance of 141mm (+1mm tolerance). The figures detail steps for removing transport locks, installing the oil filter, mounting the tilt protection mechanism, sliding the appliance into the cabinet, and securing it with brackets and screws, followed by final checks and drawer operation.
Electrical Connection
The appliance must only be connected to a correctly installed, earthed socket.
A socket must only be installed or the power cable replaced by a qualified electrician in accordance with appropriate regulations.
Use only the provided power cable. Connect it to the back of the appliance.
Do not use multi-plugs, multiple connectors, or extension leads, as overloading causes a risk of fire.
If the plug is no longer accessible after installation, a partition must be provided in the phases in the permanent electrical installation according to regulations.
Fitted Units
Do not install the appliance behind a unit door.
Follow the installation instructions for the appliance you wish to combine with the drawer.
Installing Below the Worktop
If the worktop overlaps the furniture cavity too much, it may lead to collisions with the glass cover in the vacuum-sealing drawer. Observe the maximum possible dimension.
