Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the CVI320XE must adhere to specific dimensions: an installation compartment width of 56 cm and a height of 45 cm. As a built-in appliance, ensure the space allows for the 55 cm depth required for proper airflow. The door hinge is reversible, allowing for flexible layout options in your kitchen cabinetry. To maintain the appliance, periodically check the activated charcoal filter; while it is efficient, replacing it according to usage ensures that internal air remains pure. Clean the interior and the wooden shelves with a damp, soft cloth—never use harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges, as these can damage the beech wood and the inner liner. Ensure the unit is connected to a dedicated 230V, 50Hz outlet for consistent power performance.
