Miele Kfns 3917 Sded Operating And Installation Instructions

							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 7651 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 residual current
device (RCD) with a trip current of 30
mA (in accordance with DIN VDE 0664,
VDE 0100, Section 739).
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.

							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.
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.

+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 risewith the risk of food deteriorating and
going off.
Side-by-side installation
To avoid a build-up of condensation
and resultant damage, refrigerators and
freezers should not generally be
installed side-by-side next to another
refrigerator or freezer.
However, there are certain models with
insulated side wall heating which are
suitable for side-by-side installation with
this refrigerator.
Ask your dealer which models can
be combined with your refrigerator.
^Instructions on how to install the two
appliances side-by-side are given in
the instruction booklet supplied with
the matching  freezer or
fridge-freezer.
Ventilation
Air at the back of the appliance gets
warm. To ensure sufficient ventilation,
the ventilation gaps must not be
covered over. The air inlet and outlet
must not be covered or blocked in any
way. They should be dusted on a
regular basis.

							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.
