Ventilation - Miele KFN 7734 D Operating Instructions Manual

Ventilation


WARNING! Fire hazard and risk
of damage due to insufficient ventila-
tion.
If the refrigeration appliance is not
ventilated sufficiently, the compres-
sor will run more frequently and for
longer periods. This causes in-
creased energy consumption and an
increased compressor operating
temperature, which can result in
damage to the compressor.
Please ensure that there is adequate
ventilation around the refrigeration
appliance.
It is essential to observe the required
ventilation gaps.
The ventilation gaps must never be
obstructed.
They must also be cleaned on a reg-
ular basis to remove dust.
There must be a gap of at least
½ inch (13 mm) between the back of
the appliance and the rear wall. If this
gap is not maintained, this will result
in increased energy consumption.
Air at the back of the refrigeration appli-
ance gets warm. The appliance housing
unit must therefore be constructed to
allow sufficient space for ventilation
(see "Installation dimensions" and the
installation instructions provided).
- To ensure ventilation an air channel of
a minimum 1 1/2" (40 mm) depth
must be provided at the back of the
appliance.
- The ventilation slits in the toe-kick, in
the cabinet and under the top of the
cabinet must provide a total
passage volume of at least 31"²
2
(200 cm ) to allow the warm air to
dissipate unimpeded.
- If you wish to fit a grille in the ventila-
tion openings, the ventilation open-
ings must be larger than 31"²
2
(200 cm ). The passage volume of
2
31"² (200 cm ) is the total area of the
opening slits in the grille.
- Important! The larger the ventilation
slits, the more economically the ap-
pliance will work.
