Miele K 32222 i Operating And Installation Instructions page 49

– 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-
flow of at least 200 cm² to ensure
that air can circulate without
hindrance.
If ventilation grilles are to be inserted
into the ventilation gaps, the ventila-
tion gaps must be larger than
200 cm². The free airflow of 200 cm²
results from the total of the ventila-
tion cross-sections in the grille.
– Important. The appliance uses less
energy, the larger the ventilation
gaps.
The ventilation gaps must not be
covered or blocked in any way. They
should be dusted on a regular basis.
Top ventilation gap
The ventilation gap at the top of the ap-
pliance can be constructed in different
ways:
a directly above the appliance with a
ventilation grille (free airflow of at
least 200 cm²).
b in between the housing unit and the
ceiling
c through a suspended ceiling.
