							Electrical connection U.K.
All electrical work should be carried out
by a suitably qualified and competent
person in strict accordance with current
local and national safety regulations
(BS 7671 in the UK).
The appliance is supplied with a mains
cable and moulded plug ready for
connection to an a.c. single phase
220-240 V 50 Hz supply.
Please ensure that the connection data
quoted on the data plate match the
household mains supply.
Connection should be made via a
suitable switched socket which is easily
accessible. For extra safety it is
advisable to install a suitable residual
current device (RCD).
Do not connect the appliance to the
mains electricity supply by an extension
lead. Extension leads do not guarantee
the required safety of the appliance
(e.g. danger of overheating).
The appliance must not be connected
to an inverter and must not be used
with a plug adapter as these can cause
damage to the appliance’s electronic
unit.Non-rewireable plugs (BS 1363)
The fuse cover must be re-fitted when
changing the fuse, and if the fuse cover
is lost, the plug must not be used until a
suitable replacement is obtained. The
colour of the correct replacement cover
is that of the coloured insert in the base
of the plug, or the colour that is
embossed in words in the base of the
plug (as applicable to the design of the
plug fitted).
Replacement fuses should be ASTA
approved to BS 1362 and have the
correct rating. Replacement fuses and
fuse covers may be purchased from
your local electrical supplier.

							This appliance must be built in,
otherwise it could tip up.
Location
The appliance should be installed in a
dry, well-ventilated room.
The room temperature should not go
above or below the climate range for
which the appliance is designed.
The higher the ambient temperature of
the room, the more energy the
appliance requires to operate.
It should not be installed where it is
exposed to direct sunlight or directly
adjacent to a heat-producing appliance
such as an oven or a radiator.
Climate range
The appliance is designed for use
within certain climate ranges (ambient
temperatures) and should not be used
outside this range. The climate range of
the appliance is stated on the data
plate inside the appliance.

+16°C to +43°C
+10°C to +38°C
+10°C to +43°C
Operating in a room which is too cold
will cause the cooling system to switch
off for too long, causing the internal
temperature in the appliance to rise
with the risk of frozen food deteriorating
and going off.
Ventilation
Air at the back of the appliance gets
warm. The appliance housing unit must
be constructed to allow sufficient space
for ventilation.
A ventilation gap of at least 38 mm
depth must be allowed for behind the
appliance for air to circulate.The air
inlet to the appliance is via the plinth in
the housing unit.
The cross-section of the air inlet and
outlet must be at least 200 cm
2to
ensure that air can circulate without
hindrance. Otherwise the appliance has
to work harder, resulting in an increase
in electricity consumption.
The air inlet and outlet must not be
covered or blocked in any way.
They should be dusted on a regular
basis.
Installation

							Before installation
^Before installation remove the cover
strip, sealing strip and other
accessories from the appliance and
from the external rear wall of the
appliance.
^On no account should the spacers
be removed from the back of the
appliance. These ensure the gap
required between the back of the
appliance and the wall is maintained.
^Remove any cable clips from the rear
of the appliance.
^Check that all parts at the back of the
appliance are unhindered. Carefully
remove any hindrance.
Does your old appliance have
a different hinging
mechanism?
If your old appliance had a different
type of hinging, the furniture door can
still be used. Remove the old hinges
from the housing unit. They are no
longer required because the furniture
door is now fitted to the appliance door.
All the necessary parts are supplied or
can be ordered from the Miele Spare
Parts Department.
Stainless steel front
(depending on model)
The old door can be replaced by a
stainless steel front if required.
This is available from your dealer or
the Miele Spare Parts Department.

							The door hinges are set ex-works to
enable the door to be opened wide.
However, if the opening angle of the
door needs to be limited for any reason,
the hinge can be adjusted to
accommodate this.
–For example, if the appliance door
hits an adjacent wall when opened,
the opening angle can be limited to
90°.
^Place the locking pins supplied for
limiting the door opening into the
hinges from above.
The door opening angle is now limited
to 90°.–If you would like the appliance door
to be cushioned so that it opens
more softly, the spring tension on the
appliance door can be adjusted.
To do this, use the allen key supplied to
adjust the door hinges.
aTo reduce the opening angle:
^
Turn the allen key clockwise.
This tightens the hinges and makes it
harder to open the door wide.
bTo open the door fully:
^
Turn the allen key anticlockwise.
