Ventilation - Miele FN 35402 i Operating And Installation Instructions

Installation
Climate range
The appliance is designed for use with‐
in a certain climate range (ambient tem‐
perature) and should not be used out‐
side this range.
Operating in a room which is too cold
will cause the compressor to switch off
for too long, causing the temperature
inside the appliance to rise with the risk
of food deteriorating and going off.
The climate range is stated on the data
plate inside the appliance.

Ventilation

The ventilation gaps given must be
observed, otherwise the compressor
will run more frequently and for lon‐
ger periods. This will result in in‐
creased energy consumption and a
higher operating temperature for the
compressor. This may, in turn, cause
the compressor to be damaged.
Air at the back of the appliance gets
warm. The appliance housing unit must
therefore be constructed to allow suffi‐
cient space for ventilation (see "Build‐
ing-in dimensions").
– Air intake  occurs via the plinth at
the bottom of the appliance and the
air escapes at the top  at the rear
of the housing unit.
– A ventilation gap of at least 40 mm
depth must be allowed for behind the
appliance for air to circulate.
– The ventilation cross-sections in the
plinth, housing unit and above the
appliance must amount to a free air‐
