Ventilation
The main consideration when installing any refrigeration unit into
a fitted kitchen is ventilation. The heat removed from the cooling
compartment needs to be dissipated into the atmosphere. Incorrect
ventilation can lead to premature compressor failure, excessive
power consumption, total system failure and may invalidate the
warranty provided with the appliance. For products intended to be
installed into a tall housing unit, the requirements on the following
page need to be met:
An air intake
should be provided
somewhere in
the cabinet run to
allow free air in.
In this example, a
plinth vent is shown
underneath the
refrigerator .
A cutout should be
made in the plinth
below the fridge/
freezer and this
finished neatly using
the air vent grille
supplied.
Alternatively, a thin
section of the plinth
can be removed
to allow air into the
unit (recommended
600mm x 10mm).

The top of the cabinet needs to be
vented into the room
Recommended size of vent opening:
500 x 40mm
If the furniture does not allow free air
into the room then a plinth vent, or other
means of ventilation needs to be pro-
vided to ensure a natural flow of air
There should be space at the rear of the
cabinet to allow cool air to be drawn over
the condenser.
Recommended:
