Ventilation - Miele KFNS 37432 iD Operating Instructions Manual

Ventilation

The ventilation gaps given must be
adhered to, otherwise the
compressor will be activated more
frequently and for longer periods.
This will result in increased 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
sufficient space for ventilation (see
"Building-in dimensions").
– Air intake a occurs via the plinth at
the bottom of the appliance and the
air escapes at the top b 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.
Installation advice
– The ventilation cross-sections in the
plinth, housing unit and above the
appliance must amount to at least
2
200 cm to ensure that air can
circulate without hindrance.
– The larger the ventilation
cross-sections, the more energy
efficient the appliance operates.
The air inlet and outlet must not be
covered or blocked in any way.
They should be dusted on a regular
basis.
Top ventilation cross-section
The top ventilation cross-section can be
achieved in various ways:
a Directly above the appliance with a
ventilation grille (free passage of at
2
least 200 cm ).
b Between furniture units and the
ceiling.
c In an intermediate ceiling.
