Caring for the environment

Disposing of packaging materials

The packaging is designed to protect the appliance from damage during transport. The packaging materials used are selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and should be recycled.

Recycling the packaging reduces the use of raw materials in the manufacturing process and also reduces the amount of waste in landfill sites. You can return the packaging to your Miele dealer.

Disposing of your old appliance

Old electrical and electronic equipment often still contain valuable materials. However, they may also include harmful substances that were essential for proper functioning and safe use. Improperly disposing of these items in your household waste can be harmful to your health and the environment. Therefore, please do not dispose of your old appliance in your regular household waste.

Instead, please dispose of your old appliance at your local community waste collection / recycling centre.

Take care not to damage the pipework at the back of the appliance before or during transport to an authorized collection depot. By doing so, refrigerant in the pipework and oil in the compressor will be contained and will not leak into the environment.

Please ensure that your old appliance does not pose a danger to children while being stored prior to disposal. See "Warning and safety instructions" for more information.

Electrical connection

Failure to follow these

instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor may result in electric shock. If you are in any doubt as to whether the appliance has been properly grounded, have the appliance checked by a qualified electrician or service technician.

Installation, repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous. The manufacturer will not be held responsible for damage or injury arising from unauthorized work.

Before installing the appliance, verify that the voltage, load and circuit rating information found on the data plate match the household electrical supply.

Do not ground to a gas pipe. Check with a qualified elictrician if you are not sure the appliance is properly grounded. Do not have a fuse in the neutral or grounding curcuit.

Electrocution hazard

Electrical grounding required. This appliance is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) polarized plug for your protection against possible shock hazards. Do not remove the round grounding prong from the plug. Do not use a two-prong grounding adapter. Do not use extension cords or ungrounded (two prong) adapters.

Connect this appliance to a 110 – 120 VAC, 60 Hz and 15 amp (20 amp for side-by-side) circuit (20 amp for side-by-side) with a circuit breaker or fuse.

This appliance should have its own separate grounded circuit.

The power cord is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug for your protection against potential electrical shock. To maintain this protection:

–

Do not modify the plug by removing the round grounding prong.

–

Do not use a two-prong adapter. Where a two-prong wall outlet is encountered, contact a qualified electrician and have it replaced with a three-prong outlet in accordance with the local electrical codes and regulations.

–

Do not use a power cord that is frayed or damaged.

–

Do not connect the appliance using an extension cord or extension socket.

Electrical connection

The appliance must be connected to an electrical outlet that is properly grounded. The electrical installation must comply with the applicable electrical code.

The outlet must be easily accessible and not concealed behind the appliance so that the appliance can quickly be disconnected from the electricity supply in an emergency.

The plug and power cable must not come into contact with the back of the appliance, as they could be damaged by vibrations from the appliance. This may result in a short circuit.

In addition, no other appliances should be plugged into a socket located directly behind this appliance.

Do not use an extension cord to connect the appliance to the power supply. Extension cords do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. they pose a danger of overheating).

Do not connect the appliance to stand-alone inverters, such as those used with an autonomous energy source, e.g. solar power systems. Otherwise, when the appliance is switched on, peak loads in the system can cause the safety shutdown mechanism to be triggered. This can damage electronic units. In addition, the appliance must not be used with energy-saving devices, which reduce the amount of energy supplied to the appliance and cause it to overheat.

If the power cable needs to be replaced, this work must only be performed by a qualified electrician.

Installation information

Safe operation of the appliance is only assured if it has been installed and connected in accordance with these operating and installation instructions.

WARNING! Danger of tilting! To avoid a hazard due to instability of the appliance, it must be fixde in accordance with the instructions.

Side-by-side

The KFNS 37432 iD has two side-wall heaters encased in foam and can be built into separate cabinet units arranged side-by-side with all appliances.

Please contact your dealer for specific information about which combinations will work with your appliance.

Location

This appliance should not be installed near windows where it is exposed to direct sunlight or directly adjacent to heat-producing appliances such as an oven or a radiator. The higher the room temperature, the longer the compressor runs, increasing energy consumption by the appliance. Install the appliance in a dry, well-ventilated room. When installing the appliance, please also note the following:

The power outlet must not be located

–

directly behind the appliance and must be easily accessible in an emergency.

– The plug and power cable must not

come into contact with the back of the appliance, as they could be damaged by vibrations from the appliance.

– In addition, no other appliances

should be plugged into a socket located directly behind this appliance.

Important! In environments with high humidity condensation can

build up on the appliance exterior and ultimately cause corrosion on the outer walls. To prevent this from happening, we recommend installing the appliance in a dry and/or an air-conditioned room with sufficient ventilation. Once you have completed the installation, please make sure that the appliance doors close properly, that the ventilation openings are not covered and that the appliance has been installed as described in this chapter.

Installation information

Climate class

The appliance is designed for use within a certain climate class (room temperature) and should not be used outside this range. The climate class for your appliance is stated on the data plate inside the appliance.

Climate class Room temperature

+10 °C to +32 °C +16 °C to +32 °C +16 °C to +38 °C +16 °C to +43 °C

Operation in a room which is too cold will cause the compressor to switch off for too long. This may result in increased temperatures inside the appliance and can cause the food to spoil.

Ventilation

WARNING! Danger of damage from overheating. May restrict operation. Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear of obstruction.

sufficient space for ventilation (see "Installation dimensions"):

– Air intake a occurs via the plinth at

the bottom of the appliance and the air escapes at the top b at the back of the cabinet.

– A ventilation gap at least 1,6'' (40

mm) deep must be provided behind the appliance for air to circulate.

The size of the ventilation gaps indicated below must be observed, otherwise the compressor will run more frequently and for longer periods of time. This will result in increased energy consumption and a higher operating temperature for the compressor. This may, in turn, damage the compressor.

The air at the back of the appliance gets warm. The cabinet unit must therefore be constructed to allow

–

The size of the ventilation openings in the plinth, cabinet unit and above the appliance must always be at least 78

3/4 in
