• KWT 26xx Vi, KWT 26xx ViS

It is essential to read these installation instructions as well as the operating and installation instructions for your refrigeration appliances before setup, installation and use.

Danger of injury due to electric shock.

The supply voltage is applied to the appliance even if it is switched off.

Unplug both appliances from the mains power supply prior to commencing side-by-side installation.

The refrigeration appliances must be installed side by side before installing them in the niche.

Danger of damage and injury due to appliances tipping over.

The refrigeration appliances are very heavy and can tip forwards when the doors are open.

Keep the doors shut until the appliances have been built in and secured in their housings in accordance with the operating and installation instructions.

Due to their weight and size, the refrigeration appliances must be installed by two people.

The following tools are required for side-by-side installation:

• Torx T20 screwdriver
• Cordless screwdriver
• Hammer
• Pipe wrench

In addition

• Material to place under the appliances to protect the floor
• Adhesive tape

... with partition wall

The wall between the side-by-side appliances must be at least 16 mm thick.

If the door hinges of the appliances are next to each other, you must take into account the thickness of the cabinet fronts and door handles so that the appliance doors do not collide and become damaged if they are opened at the same time.

If the partition wall is narrower than 160 mm, you will need the side panel heater 1 from the side-by-side merging kit to prevent condensation from forming and any resulting damage (see section "Installing the side panel heater").

The side panel heater ① is attached to the right side of the appliance that is on the left (when seen from the front).

When planning niches, please note that the niche into which the appliance with the side panel heater ① is installed must be 3 - 5 mm wider.
