Installation - Miele KM 5621 Operating And Installation Instructions

Installation

Preparing the countertop
 Create the countertop cut-out. Re-
member to maintain the minimum
safety distances (see "Installation" –
"Safety distances").
Wooden countertops
 Seal any cut surfaces on the wooden
countertop with a special varnish, sili-
cone rubber, or resin to prevent the
wood from swelling as a result of
moisture. The sealant must be tem-
perature-resistant.
Ensure that the sealant does not get
on the top surface of the countertop.
The sealing strip ensures that the
cooktop will sit securely in the cut-out
without slipping. Any gap between the
trim and countertop will become
smaller over time.
Securing the spring clamps
The exact positioning of the spring
clamps is shown in the individual
cooktop diagrams.
Wooden countertops
 Position the spring clamps  on the
top edge of the cut-out as shown in
the cooktop illustration.
 Fasten the spring clamps  using the
1 3/8" (3.5) x 1" (25 mm) wood
screws supplied with the appliance.
