Positioning and installing the appliance
1. Once the appliance has been unpacked, check the main voltage is the same as that indicated on the
rating plate.

2. If the door opening direction is as required, contine with the installation. Otherwise, reverse the
position of the hinges. To do this, carefully follow the guide on page 7

When installing the appliance, remember the following:

A. Do not install the appliance near any sources of heat such as heaters, radiators, ovens, cookers, etc. or
in direct sunlight.
B. Make sure that during the automatic defrost, any water on the back wall of the compartment
runs into the drain channel.
C. A fter the appliance has been placed in its final position, leave it for at least 12 hours before
connecting it to the power supply.
D. Make sure that the appliance is working correctly before placing any food in it.

WARNING: DO NOT INSTALL THE APPLIANCE NEAR TO ANY HEAT SOURCES AND LEAVE A GAP OF AT LEAST 5
CM ABOVE IT.

INSTALLATION IN THE TALL UNIT HOUSING

The dimensions of the tall unit housing must correspond to those illustrated on pages 4 and 5.
Insert the appliance in the housing against the side panel adjacent to the opening.
Adjust the foot until the top panel is not in contact with the unit, and anchor the upper part of the
appliance, using the screws supplied, in the pre-drilled panel over the front fascia. Anchor the two
bottom brackets to the base of the cabinet and the center of the appliance to the wall of the unit using the
special brackets. Fix the two bottom feet in the holes in the base of the unit.
Apply the plastic joint gasket.
Position the door sliders and fix in place. Also clip in the screw cover sections.
Fit and secure the slider blocks to the door.

Once the slider has been fitted to to the

Tip: It can help if the door slider blocks are fitted after the sliders have been
fully fixed to the furniture door and the covers cliped into place.
Installation dimensions

-Refer to the dimensions on the following page

-The arrow denotes the air flow

Ventilation

The main consideration when installing a refrigeration product into a cabinet is ventilation. The heat removed
from the appliance need to be dissipated into the room. Failure to correctly ventilate the product can result in
increased running costs and premature failure. It will also invalidate the guarantee provided with the
appliance.

An air intake in the plinth is required to allow for the correct air flow (recommended 500mm x 40mm). If
preferred a decorative stainless steel plinth grille is available, product code: GRILL/SENSE600. This can be
purchased from your retailer or www.caple.co.uk.

To ensure the correct operation of the appliance it is important the top of the housing is not blocked off. The
top of the cabinet needs to be vented into the room, the recommended size of the vent opening is 500mm x
40mm.

There should also be space at the rear of the cabinet to allow the cool air to be drawn over the condenser.
This should also be at least 500mm x 40mm.

The more air available to circulate the product, the more efficiently it will operate.
