Miele Kfns 3917 Sde Ed Operating And Installation Instructions

							Do not place any appliance which
gives off heat, such as a toaster or
microwave oven, on top of this
appliance, as this would increase
the appliance’s energy consumption.
Location
The appliance should be installed in a
dry, well-ventilated room. 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 higher the
ambient temperature of the room, the
more energy the appliance requires to
operate.
The climate range of the appliance is
stated on the data plate inside the

							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
insulated 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 back of
the appliances still needs 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 appliance.
^Place the appliances next to one
another so that the fronts are aligned,
leaving a gap of 10 mm between
them.
^Open the appliance doors, and use a
screwdriver to lever plinth facingsa
out, then pull them forwards and off.
^
Use a screwdriver to remove covers

							600 mm wide appliancescan be
installed into a kitchen run. To match
the height of the rest of the kitchen, the
appliance can be fitted with a suitable
top boxa.
A ventilation gap of at least 50 mm
depth must be allowed for behind the
appliance and top box, if fitted, for air
to circulate.
A gap of at least 40 mm is required
between the top of the appliance (or
top box) and the ceiling to 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.
When built into a kitchen run (max.
depth 580 mm) the appliance can be
installed directly next to a kitchen
furniture housing unit. The appliance
doorbwill protrude in front of furniture
fronts at the sides by 34 mm and by
51 mm in the middle of the door. This
enables the doors to be opened and
shut without being obstructed.
Wheninstalled next to a wallca
distance of approx. 36 mm is needed
on the hinge side between the wall and
the appliance, so that the door and the
handle have sufficient space for
opening.
