Crown
Important!
The crown of the installation niche must always have a depth of at least 102 mm
(measured from the front edge of the appliance) and be at least 16 mm thick. Only
then a secure installation of the appliance in the niche can be guaranteed.
The height of the door panel on the appliance is dependent on:
— The overall height of the appliance
— The distance from the bottom edge of the door panel to the floor
— The appliance type (one-door or multi-door appliances)
This height may vary depending on the installation conditions. For design reasons
it may be necessary to lengthen the cabinet door upwards by extending it beyond
the top of the appliance.
Dimensions of special accessories – door panels
The cabinetry, the height of the plinth, the overall height of the kitchen and other
determining dimensions of the kitchen must be considered in order to plan the
exact positioning of the door panel, so that the appliance integrates perfectly into
the overall kitchen design.
The following drawings show the basic dimensions of the special accessory door
panels.
These are designed to fit the following basic specifications:
— Height of the plinth: 102 mm
— Overall height of the installation niche: 2134 mm
— Gaps: 3 mm
— Door panel thickness: 19 mm
Important!
The following drawings are not a substitute for detailed designs. Compliance with
specified requirements relating to kitchen design is essential.

A custom door panel can exceed the dimensions of the special accessory door
panels, as long as all given restrictions in this planning notes are considered correctly.
Ensure the maximum panel weights shown in the following table are not exceeded.

Replacement of RVY497 into 914 mm niche
If a RVY 497 is installed into an existing, unmodified 914 mm wide niche (e.g.
replacement of an appliance of the Vario cooling 400 series - RY 492) be aware of
the following dimensional changes:
— Appliance width 894 mm (compared to 908 mm within Vario cooling 400 series)
— Range of height adjustable feet based on the standard installation height
+40 mm / -8 mm (compared to +35 mm / -13 mm within Vario cooling 400 series)
To guarantee the aesthetics of the installation 10 mm wide side trims (RVA 460 910)
should be installed on both sides of the appliance to cover the gap between the
side walls of the appliance and the adjacent cabinetry.
If a Vario cooling 400 appliance was installed in the niche before, the screwing
holes in the crown and side walls (if side trims were used) will become visible, upon
removal of the appliance. To ensure perfect aesthetics of the newly installed
RVY 497 the screwing holes should be covered.
Existing custom door panels can be re-used as well as the special accessory door
panels from the Vario Cooling 400 series. New door panels need to have the
widths displayed in the following drawing.
Be aware that any door panel to fully cover the niche will now protrude from the
doors of the RVY 497 due to the difference in width.
This has an influence on the hinge movement and resulting clearances to adjacent
cabinetry and handles.
