Ventilation - Miele KFN 37452 iDE Operating And Installation Instructions

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‐
flow of at least 200 cm² to ensure
that air can circulate without hin‐
drance.
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.
