Gaggenau 538 Refrigerator User Manual


 
Additional planning notes
Read all instructions in the installation manual completely
and carefully prior to installation. Installation manuals
are supplied with the appliance and are also available at
www.gaggenau-usa.com.
Refrigeration appliances are top heavy and must be
secure to prevent the possibility of tipping forward. Anti-tip
protection is required.
Keep doors closed until the appliance is completely
installed and secured per installation instructions.
Due to size and weight of appliance and to reduce risk of
personal injury or damage to the product — TWO PEOPLE
ARE REQUIRED FOR PROPER INSTALLATION.
When installing a refrigeration appliance next to a BO/
BS oven with handle (optional), a side clearance of 2 ⅜" (60
mm) is required if the BO/BS handle is on the same side as
the hinge of the refrigeration appliance.
Door swivel range
To ensure correct kitchen planning it is essential to take
opening angle of the appliance door into account (plus
tted cabinet door and handle). There should be no pos-
sibility of collision with other kitchen furnishings (work-
tops, handles of other cabinetry etc.) or parts of the room
(walls, protrusions etc.).
The space needed for the hinge and the consequential dis-
tance to the adjacent cabinetry and its handle can, depend-
ing on the panel thickness, be seen in the following drawing.
The drawing assumes a panel thickness of ¾".
Restrict the door opening angle to 90°
(standard 115°) with a door stop pin installed into
the hinge.
Install a spacer between the appliance and the
kitchen element that creates the interference.
Rearrange surrounding cabinetry or appliance.
