Remove the two fixing screws and slide the vaporiser tray underneath the cabinet, into the two fixed runners. Bend the corner tabs of the tray upwards, then using the guide holes already in the cabinet secure the tray in position with the two screws originally removed. The heaters electrical connection to the cabinet will already be in place. Ensure the drain line pipe is angled in an upright position to form an air lock. Please make sure that when positioning a dual temperature model with an external vaporiser tray the tray does not come into contact with any other surfaces.
Clearance (All models) Make sure that a minimum clearance of 310mm above and 50mm around the cabinet or counter is available for ventilation and effective operation.
