not be near a heat source
 such as a
stove or radiator. If installation next to a
heat source is unavoidable, use a
suitable insulating plate or maintain the
following minimum distances from the
heat source:
n3cm from an electric or gas
cooker,
n30cm from oil or solid fuel cookers.
If the appliance is being installed next
to another refrigerator or freezer,
maintain a minimum distance between
the sides of the two appliances of
25mm. This preven
ts the formation of
condensation.
If there is a cover or cupboard above
the appliance, there must be a gap of
10mm to enable the appliance to be
pulled out if necessary.
The heated air 
must be able to escape
unimpeded from the rear of the

the first time, clean its interior (see
section Cleaning the appliance").
nThe water line must be connected
up before the electrical
connections.
nIn addition to the statutory national
regulations, the connection
requirements of the local electricity
and water supply companies are to
be observed.
nOnly remove the transport locks on
the trays and racks once the
appliance has been installed.
nIf the appliance doors need to be
removed in order for the appliance
to fit through the doors of the
house or flat, the doors must be
removed by customer services only.
