Installation niche
Unlike conventional built-in appliances, Vario cooling appliances stand on the
floor. This means that the installation niche is a space in a line of kitchen units.
Installation niche
The specified dimensions of the installation niche must be observed to guarantee
the proper installa tion of the appliance and the design of the cabinet front.
It is particularly important that the installation niche is square. The side walls must
be smooth, not have any protrusions or unevenness. Use the appropriate tools,
e.g. spirit level, diagonal measurements, etc. to determine whether the installation
niche is square.
The side walls and the crown of the installation niche must be at least 16 mm thick.
Installation niche for an individual appliance:
A Area for installation the water connection
B Area for installation the electrical connection must be outside the niche

Installation niche for a side-by-side solution
In a side-by-side solution, there are many ways to combine the appliances. The
width of the installation niche is calculated from the sum of the widths of the
individual appliances. The height and depth of the installation niche cor respond to
the specifications for the individual ap pliances. It is important to comply with the
dimensions in the area set aside for electric and water connections. For the
precise dimensions, please refer to the de tails given for individual appliances.
Location
The appliance should be installed in a dry, well ventilated room. The location of the
appliance should not be subject to direct sunlight or near a source of heat, such as
a cooker, a radiator, etc.
If installation next to a heat source is unavoidable or observe the following
minimum dis tances from the heat source:
— 3 cm to electric or gas cookers.
— 3 cm to electric or gas ovens.
— 30 cm to an oil-fired or solid-fuel cooker.
The floor of the installation location must not give way; if required, reinforce floor.
To ensure that the ice maker functions correctly, the appliance must be upright.
Surface
To ensure that the appliance is installed securely and functions properly, the
surface must be level and even.
The floor must consist of a hard, rigid material.
The floor in the installation area must have the same height as the floor in the rest
of the room.
Due to the heavy weight of a fully loaded appliance, the floor beneath must be
stable.
If in doubt, consult an architect, structural engineer or construction expert.
Neighbouring cabinetry
The new appliance is screwed firmly in place with the neighbouring cabinet parts.
Care should be taken to ensure that all cupboards onto which something is
fastened, are connected firmly to the floor or the wall.
The thickness of the plinth can be a maximum 19 mm.
