Installation and Planning Notes

Plan the niche without back wall.
Left-hinged door; hinge not reversible.
Protrusion from appliance front to furniture cabinet is 21 mm.
For corner solutions, ensure sufficient distance to the wall for the side-opening door.
Door opening angle approx. 110° (delivery status) requires a mounting distance to the wall of at least 350 mm.
With door opening angle approx. 92° (spare part No. 10020041), the mounting distance to the wall must be at least 100 mm.
Installation directly above a warming drawer is possible.
Due to the higher appliance housing (449 mm), combinations with GC appliances must be planned cautiously.
For optimum gap dimensions, the full-surface intermediate shelf GA601010 is recommended for vertical combinations with other appliances.
Installation above a combi microwave oven is only possible with a standard furniture shelf; the intermediate shelf GA601010 must not be used in this case.
The water connection for the inlet hose must always be accessible and not located directly behind the appliance.
