Miele Kfn 14827 Sdeed Operating And Installation Instructions

							To avoid a build-up of condensation
and resultant damage, refrigerators and
freezers should not normally be
installed side-by-side.
However, this appliance has side wall
heating, and can be installed
side-by-side with certain other Miele
appliances.
Your dealer will be able to advise
you on which models are suitable.
Installation
^This appliance must be installed to
the left of any refrigerator when
viewed from the front. The side wall
heating in the right-hand wall is
designed to prevent the build-up of
condensation between the two
appliances.
^Place the two appliances as close as
possible to their final position so that
they can be aligned for any
unevenness in the floor. The backs of
the appliances still need to be kept
accessible to complete the
installation.
Joining the two appliances
together
You will need a spirit level,
spanners, a torque screwdriver and
a socket wrench.
^Before starting, peel off any
protective foil from the appliance
casing.
