							The door hinges are set ex-works to
enable the doors to be opened wide.
However, if the opening angle of the
door needs to be limited for any reason,
the hinges can be adjusted to
accommodate this.
For example, if the appliance door hits
an adjacent wall when opened, the
opening angle can be limited to 90°.
^Place the locking pins supplied for
limiting the door opening into the
hinges from above.
The door opening angle is now limited
to 90°.

When built into a peninsular run, the
rear of the building-in niche must be
fitted with a kitchen furniture panel.
Aligning the housing unit
The housing unit must be carefully
aligned using a spirit level before
installing the appliance. The unit
corners must be at right angles, as
otherwise the furniture door will not
align correctly with the 4 corners of the

–With 16 mm thick walls:
The spacers should touch the front
edge at the top and bottom of the
side walls of the housing unit, detail
a.
–
With 19 mm thick walls:
The front edges of the top and
bottom hinges sit flush with the front
edge of the housing side walls, detail
b.
^
Make sure that the covers on the top
and bottom fixing brackets sit flush
with the front edges of the housing
unit side walls, detaild.
This will create a gap all round of
42 mmto the front edges of the
housing unit side walls.On furniture with door fittings (e.g.
stubs, seals etc)the dimension of
these must be taken into account when
making sure there is a gap all round of
42 mm.
^Pull the appliance forwards by the
dimension of the door fitting to keep
the gap at 42 mm all round.
The hinges and the covers will now
protrude by the dimension of the door
fitting.
Tip: Remove the door fittings. This will
ensure that the doors are flush with the
surrounding kitchen unit furniture doors.
If the all round gap of 42 mm is not
maintained between the appliance
casing and the front edge of the
housing unit side wall the doors may
not shut properly.
This could lead to a build-up of ice
and condensation and also cause
operational faults.
^
Align the appliance height on both
sides by altering the adjustable feet
using the spanner suppliedc.
