Caring for the environment  
Disposal of the packing  
material  
Disposal of your old appliance  
Electrical and electronic appliances  
often contain valuable materials. They  
also contain materials which, if handled  
or disposed of incorrectly, could be  
potentially hazardous to human health  
and to the environment. They are,  
however, essential for the correct  
functioning of your appliance. Please  
do not therefore dispose of it with your  
household waste.  
The packaging is designed to protect  
the appliance from damage during  
transportation. 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.  
Please dispose of it at your local  
community waste collection / recycling  
centre or contact your dealer for  
advice. Ensure that it presents no  
danger to children while being stored  
for disposal.  
Take care not to damage the pipework  
at the back of it before or during  
transportation to an authorised  
collection depot.  
In this way, refrigerant in the pipework  
and oil in the compressor will be  
contained, and will not leak out into the  
environment.

Danger of suffocation. Packaging, e.g. plastic wrappings, must  
~
be kept out of the reach of babies and children. Whilst playing,  
children could become entangled in packaging or pull it over their  
head and suffocate.  
Technical safety  
The coolant system is tested for leaks. The appliance complies  
~
with statutory safety requirements and the appropriate EU  
guidelines.  
This appliance contains the coolant Isobutane (R600a), a natural  
~
gas which is environmentally friendly. Although it is flammable, it  
does not damage the ozone layer and does not increase the  
greenhouse effect.  
The use of this coolant has, however, led to a slight increase in the  
noise level of the appliance. In addition to the noise of the  
compressor, you might be able to hear the coolant flowing around  
the system. This is unavoidable, and does not have any adverse  
effect on the performance of the appliance.  
Care must be taken during the transportation and installation of the  
appliance that no parts of the cooling system are damaged. Leaking  
refrigerant can damage the eyes.  
In the event of any damage:  
– avoid any flames or anything which creates a spark,  
– disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply,  
– ventilate the room where the appliance is located for several  
minutes, and  
– call the Service department.  
10  
Warning and Safety instructions  
The more coolant there is in an appliance, the larger the room it  
~
should be installed in. In the event of a leakage, if the appliance is in  
a small room, there is the danger of combustible gases building up.  
For every 8 g of coolant at least 1 m3 of room space is required. The  
amount of coolant in the appliance is stated on the data plate inside  
the appliance.  
To avoid the risk of damage to the appliance, make sure that the  
~
connection data (fuse rating, frequency and voltage) on the data  
plate corresponds to the household supply.  
Check that this is the case before connecting the appliance. Consult  
a qualified electrician if in any doubt.  
The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed  
~
when it is correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety  
requirement is met. If in any doubt, please have the electrical  
installation tested by a qualified electrician.  
If the electrical connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced  
~
by a Miele approved service technician to protect the user from  
danger.  
Do not connect the appliance to the mains electrical supply by a  
~
multi-socket adapter or extension lead. These are a fire hazard and  
do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance.  
Do not use in a damp environment (e.g. garage or utility room).  
~
Moisture could reach live components or the electrical connection  
and cause a short circuit.  
11

The appliance is designed for use within certain climate ranges  
~
(ambient temperatures), and should not be used outside this range.  
The climate range of the appliance is stated on the data plate inside  
the appliance. Installing it in a room with too low an ambient  
temperature will lead to the appliance switching off for longer  
periods so that it cannot maintain the required temperature.  
Do not cover or block the air vents as this could impair the  
~
efficiency of the appliance, increase the electricity consumption and  
could cause damage to the appliance.  
If storing food which contains a lot of fat or oil in the appliance or  
~
the door, make sure that it does not come into contact with plastic  
components as this could cause stress cracks or break the plastic.  
Do not store explosive materials in the appliance or any products  
~
containing propellants (e.g. spray cans). Electrical components  
could cause flammable vapours to ignite. Danger of fire and  
explosion.  
Do not operate any electrical equipment (e.g. an electric  
~
ice-cream maker) inside the appliance. Danger of sparking and  
explosion.  
Do not store cans or bottles containing carbonated drinks or  
~
liquids which could freeze in the freezer section. The cans or bottles  
could explode. Danger of injury and damage to the appliance.  
13  
Warning and Safety instructions  
If storing alcohol with a high percentage proof, make sure it is  
~
tightly closed and stored upright. Danger of explosion.  
When cooling drinks quickly in the freezer section, make sure  
~
bottles are not left in for more than one hour, otherwise they could  
burst, causing injury or damage.  
Never handle frozen food or the metal parts of the appliance with  
~
wet hands. Your hands may freeze to the frozen food or metal parts.  
Danger of frost burn.  
Do not take ice cubes out with your bare hands and never place  
~
ice cubes or ice lollies in your mouth straight from the freezer.  
The very low temperature of the frozen ice or lollies can cause frost  
burn to the lips and tongue.  
Do not refreeze partially or fully defrosted food. Consume  
~
defrosted food as soon as possible, as it will lose its nutritional value  
and spoil if left for too long. Defrosted food may only be re-frozen  
after it has been cooked.  
Observe the manufacturer's "use-by" dates and storage  
~
instructions given on food to avoid the risk of food poisoning.  
Storage times will depend on several factors, including the  
freshness and quality of the food as well as the temperature at which  
it is stored.  
Only use genuine original Miele accessories with this appliance.  
~
Using spare parts or accessories from other manufacturers will  
invalidate the guarantee, and Miele cannot accept liability.  
14

The cooling system switches off. If this  
does not happen, the safety lock is still  
activated (see "Selecting settings - To  
deactivate the lock").  
^ Attach the bottle holder centrally  
along the rear edge of the bottle  
shelf, as shown.  
The flexible ribs grip the bottles  
securely when the door is opened and  
closed.  
19  
Switching on and off  
Switching off for longer  
periods of time  
If the appliance is not going to be used  
for a longer period of time, e.g. whilst  
on holiday:  
^ switch the appliance off,  
^ disconnect it from the mains,  
^ clean the appliance out and  
^ leave the doors ajar to air it.  
If, during a long absence, the  
appliance is switched off but not  
cleaned out and the doors are left  
shut, there is a danger of mould and  
odours building up inside the  
appliance.  
20  
The correct temperature  
It is very important to set the correct  
temperature for storing food in the  
appliance. Micro-organisms will cause  
food which is not stored at the correct  
temperature to deteriorate rapidly.  
Temperature influences the growth rate  
of these micro-organisms. Reducing  
the temperature reduces their growth  
rate.  
. . . in the refrigerator  
We recommend a temperature of 4°C in  
the middle of the refrigerator.  
. . . in the freezer  
To freeze fresh food and to store frozen  
food for a long time, a temperature of  
-18°C is required. At this temperature  
the growth of micro-organisms is  
generally halted. As soon as the  
The temperature in the appliance will  
rise:  
temperature rises above -10°C, the  
micro-organisms become active in the  
food again so that it cannot be kept as  
long. For this reason, partially defrosted  
or defrosted food must not be re-frozen.  
Food may be re-frozen once it has  
been cooked, as the high temperatures  
achieved when cooking destroy most  
micro-organisms.  
– the more often the door is opened  
and the longer it is kept open,  
– the more food that is placed in it,  
– the warmer the food is which is being  
put into it,  
– the higher the ambient temperature  
surrounding the appliance.  
The appliance is designed for use in  
specific ambient temperatures  
(climate ranges). Do not use in  
ambient temperatures for which it is  
not designed.  
21  
The correct temperature

temperature display.  
The average temperature in the freezer  
section will then be approx. -18 °C.  
The first time you press the button the  
last temperature selected will flash in  
the display.  
However, if frozen food is to be stored  
in the freezer section then a setting of  
between 3 °C to 5 °C is recommended  
to ensure that the required temperature  
in the freezer section is maintained.  
The temperature value will change up  
until the setting for 9°C is reached. It  
will then drop back to the 1°C setting.  
The newly selected temperature will be  
adopted automatically after a short  
while.  
It is also advisable to set the  
temperature within this range if the  
doors are opened frequently, large  
quantities of food are being stored in  
the appliance or there is a high ambient  
temperature.  
The temperature in the appliance will  
adjust slowly until it is at this value.

Storing food in the refrigerator section  
Different storage zones  
Do not store explosive materials in  
the appliance or any products  
containing propellants (e.g. spray  
cans).  
Due to the natural circulation of the air  
in the appliance, there are different  
temperature zones in the refrigerator.  
Cold, heavy air sinks to the lowest  
section of the appliance. Make use of  
the different zones when placing food  
in the appliance.  
Danger of explosion.  
If storing alcohol with a high  
percentage proof, make sure it is  
tightly closed, and store upright.  
Warmest area  
The warmest area is in the top section  
at the front and in the door. Use this for  
storing butter and cheese.  
If storing food which contains a lot of  
fat or oil in the refrigerator or  
refrigerator door, make sure that it  
does not come into contact with  
plastic components as this could  
cause stress cracks or break the  
plastic.  
Coldest area  
The coldest area in the refrigerator  
section is directly above the fruit and  
vegetables drawer (depending on mo-  
del) or above the fruit and vegetable  
drawer (depending on model) and at  
the back of the appliance.  
Food must not touch the back wall,  
as it may freeze to the back wall.  
To allow air to circulate efficiently,  
do not pack food too closely  
Use this for all delicate and highly  
perishable food, e.g.  
together in the refrigerator. Do not  
cover the fan in the rear wall of the  
refrigerator, as this is essential for  
keeping the appliance cool.  
– fish, meat, poultry,  
– sausage products, ready meals,  
– dishes or baked goods containing  
eggs or cream,  
– fresh dough, cake mixtures, pizza or  
quiche dough,  
– soft cheese and other dairy  
products,  
– pre-packed vegetables and other  
fresh food with a label stating it  
should be kept at a temperature of  
approx. 4°C .  
27  
Storing food in the refrigerator section  
Food which is not suitable for  
storing in the refrigerator  
When shopping for food  
The freshness of food when first placed  
in the appliance is an important factor  
in determining how long it stays fresh,  
and how long it can be kept in the  
refrigerator.  
Not all food is suitable for storing in a  
refrigerator at temperatures below 5°C  
as some food is sensitive to cold.  
The appearance, consistency, taste  
and / or the vitamin content of certain  
types of food can be adversely affected  
by being stored in too cold a place.  
Always observe the use-by date and  
recommended storage temperature.  
Time out of the refrigerator, e.g. during  
transportation, should be kept to a  
minimum. For example, do not allow  
food to stay in a hot car for too long.  
Tip: Take a cool bag with you when  
shopping and on return place food into  
the appliance immediately.  
Food which does not tolerate cold  
temperatures includes:  
– Pineapples, avocados, bananas,  
pomegranates, mangos, melons,  
papayas, passion fruit,  
citrus fruit (such as lemons, oranges,  
mandarins, grapefruit),  
– Fruit which is not yet ripe,  
– Aubergines/egg plant, cucumber,  
potatoes, peppers/capiscum,  
tomatoes, courgettes/zucchini,  
– Some hard cheeses, e.g. Parmesan.  
28  
Storing food in the refrigerator section  
Storing food correctly  
Food should generally be stored  
covered or packaged. This will prevent  
food smells from affecting other food,  
food from drying out, and also any  
cross-contamination of bacteria. This is  
particularly important for protein-based  
food such as meat or fish.  
The growth of bacteria, such as  
salmonella, can be avoided by setting  
the correct temperature and  
maintaining good standards of hygiene.  
Fruit and vegetables  
Fruit and vegetables can be stored  
loose in the the fruit and vegetable  
containers or drawer (depending on  
model).  
Protein rich food  
Please note that food rich in protein  
deteriorates faster than others.  
Shellfish, for example, deteriorates  
faster than fish, and fish deteriorates  
faster than meat.  
29  
Adjusting the interior fittings  
Adjusting the door shelf/bottle Moving the shelves  
shelf  
The shelves can be adjusted according  
to the height of the food.  
^ Push the door/bottle shelf upwards,  
then remove it by pulling it forwards.  
^ Raise the shelf slightly at the front,  
and pull it forwards a little until the  
notch at the side is in line with the  
shelf support. It can then be raised or  
lowered to the required level.  
^ Replace the door/bottle shelf at the  
required position. Ensure that it is  
pushed back into position securely.  
Moving the bottle holder  
The raised edge of the protective strip  
at the back of the shelf must face  
upwards to prevent food from touching  
the back of the appliance and freezing  
to it.  
Stoppers prevent the shelves from  
being dislodged by mistake.  
The bottle holder can be moved to the  
left or right to create more room for  
drinks cartons, for example.  
The bottle holder can be removed  
completely (e.g. for cleaning).  
^ Push the bottle shelf upwards, then  
remove it by pulling it forwards.  
^ Pull the bottle holder upwards to  
remove it from the rear edge of the  
bottle shelf.

Freezing and storing food  
Maximum freezing capacity  
Storing frozen food  
To ensure that fresh food placed in the  
freezer freezes through to the core as  
quickly as possible, the maximum  
freezing capacity must not be  
When buying frozen food to store in  
your freezer, check  
– that the packaging is not damaged,  
– the use-by date,  
exceeded. The maximum freezing  
capacity for freezing within a 24-hour  
period is given on the data plate:  
"Freezing capacity ....kg/24 hrs".  
– the temperature at which the frozen  
food is being stored in the shop. The  
length of time it can be kept is  
The maximum freezing capacity given  
on the data plate has been calculated  
according to DIN EN ISO 15502  
Standard.  
reduced if it has been stored at a  
temperature warmer than -18 °C.  
^ Buy frozen food once you have  
finished the rest of your shopping,  
and wrap it in newspaper or use a  
cool bag or cool box to transport it.  
Freezing fresh food  
Fresh food should be frozen as quickly  
as possible. This way the nutritional  
value of the food, its vitamin content,  
appearance and taste are not impaired.  
^ Store it in the freezer as soon as  
possible.  
Never re-freeze partially or fully  
defrosted food. Consume defrosted  
food as soon as possible as it will  
lose its nutritional value and spoil if  
left for too long. Defrosted food may  
only be re-frozen after it has been  
cooked.  
Food which takes a long time to freeze  
will lose more water from its cells, which  
then shrink.  
During the defrosting process, only  
some of this water is reabsorbed by the  
cells; the rest collects around the food.  
In practice this means that the food  
loses a large degree of its moisture.  
You can tell if this has happened by the  
amount of liquid around the food.  
If food is frozen quickly, the cells have  
less time to lose moisture, so they  
shrink less. As there is not so much  
moisture loss, it is easier for the food to  
reabsorb it during the defrosting  
process, and very little water collects  
around the defrosted food.

freezing. Only season cooked food  
lightly before freezing, but care  
should be taken as the taste of some  
spices alters when frozen.  
Hints on home freezing  
– The following types of food are  
suitable for freezing:  
– Do not place hot food or drinks in the  
freezer. This causes already frozen  
food to thaw, and increases the  
energy consumption considerably.  
Allow hot food and drinks to cool  
down before placing them in the  
freezer.  
Fresh meat, poultry, game, fish,  
vegetables, herbs, fresh fruit, dairy  
products, pastry, leftovers, egg  
yolks, egg whites and a range of  
pre-cooked meals.  
– The following types of food are not  
suitable for freezing:  
Packaging  
Grapes, lettuce, radishes, sour  
cream, mayonnaise, eggs in their  
shells, onions, whole raw apples and  
pears.  
^ Freeze food in portions.  
Unsuitable packaging material  
- wrapping paper  
- grease-proof paper  
- cellophane  
– To retain colour, taste and vitamin C,  
vegetables should be blanched after  
they have been trimmed and  
washed.  
- bin bags  
- plastic carrier bags  
To blanch: bring a large saucepan of  
water to the boil, immerse the  
vegetables in the fast boiling water  
for 2-3 minutes, depending on  
variety. Remove, and plunge into  
ice-cold water to cool quickly. Drain  
and pack ready for freezing.  
Suitable packaging material  
- plastic freezer film  
- freezer bags  
- aluminium foil  
- freezer containers  
^ Expel as much air as possible from  
bags etc. before sealing them, to  
prevent freezer-burn on food.  
– Lean meat freezes better than fatty  
meat, and can be stored for  
considerably longer.  
^ Close the packaging tightly with  
- rubber bands  
– To prevent chops, steaks, cutlets or  
rolled meat from freezing together in  
solid blocks when packed, separate  
with a sheet of plastic freezer film.  
- plastic clips  
- string or bag ties  
- freezer tape.  
Freezer bags may also be sealed  
using home heat sealing kits.  
32  
Freezing and storing food  
^ Make a note of the contents and the  
date of freezing on the packaging.  
– Freezing the maximum amount  
(see data plate)  
^ Remove the upper freezer drawers.  
Before placing food in the freezer  
section  
^ Place the food flat on the upper glass  
cold plates so that it freezes through  
to the core as quickly as possible.  
^ When freezing more than 1 kg of  
fresh food, switch on the Super  
freeze function for some time before  
placing the food in the freezer (see  
"Using Super freeze").  
Once frozen:  
^ Place the frozen food in the freezer  
drawers and push them back into the  
appliance.  
This helps food that is already in the  
freezer section to stay frozen.  
– Large items  
If you wish to freeze large items such  
as a turkey or game, the glass cold  
plates between the drawers can be  
removed.  
Placing food in the freezer section  
The following maximum capacities  
must be observed:  
– freezer drawer = 25 kg  
– glass cold plate = 35 kg  
^ Remove the freezer drawers and  
carefully lift and slide out the glass  
cold plates.  
Food to be frozen must on no  
account touch food which is already  
frozen to avoid partial thawing.  
^ Make sure that the packaging and  
containers are dry to prevent them  
sticking together when frozen.  
– Freezing small amounts of food  
Place the food in the upper freezer  
drawers.  
^ Place the food flat in the bottom of  
the drawers so that it freezes through  
to the core as quickly as possible.  
33  
Freezing and storing food  
Defrosting  
Never re-freeze partially or fully  
defrosted food. Consume defrosted  
food as soon as possible as it will  
lose its nutritional value and spoil if  
left for too long. Defrosted food may  
only be re-frozen after it has been  
cooked.  
Frozen food can be defrosted in  
different ways:  
– in a microwave oven,  
– in an oven using the "Fan" or  
"Defrost" setting,  
– at room temperature,  
Ice cubes  
– in the refrigerator (the cold given off  
by the frozen food helps to keep the  
other food cold),  
– in a steam oven.  
Poultry It is particularly important to  
observe food hygiene rules when  
defrosting poultry. Do not use the liquid  
from defrosted poultry. Pour it away  
and wash the container it was in, the  
sink and your hands. Danger of  
salmonella poisoning.  
^ Fill the ice tray three quarters full with  
water, and place it in the bottom of  
one of the drawers.  
^ Once frozen, use a blunt instrument,  
for example a spoon handle, to  
Ensure that meat and fish (e.g mince,  
chicken, fish fillets) do not come into  
contact with other foods while  
defrosting. Catch the liquid and  
dispose of it carefully.  
remove the ice tray from the freezer.  
^ Ice cubes can be removed easily  
from the tray by twisting the tray  
gently or by holding it under cold  
running water for a short while.  
Fruit should be defrosted at room  
temperature in its packaging, or in a  
covered bowl.  
Cooling drinks  
Most vegetables can be cooked while  
still frozen. Just put straight into boiling  
water or hot fat. The cooking time is  
slightly less than that of fresh  
vegetables due to changes in the cell  
structure.  
When cooling drinks quickly in the  
freezer, make sure bottles are not left  
in for more than one hour; otherwise  
they could burst.

warmth generated by the compressor.  
The condensate is drained away via a  
channel and drain hole into an  
evaporation system at the back of the  
appliance.  
^ This automatic defrosting system  
enables the freezer section to remain  
permanently ice-free, however, the  
food stored in the freezer section will  
not defrost.  
Ensure that the condensate channel  
and drain hole are kept clean and  
are never blocked so that  
condensate can flow away without  
hindrance.  
35  
Cleaning and care  
– sharp metal scrapers.  
Do not let water get into the

Do not use steam cleaning  
apparatus to clean the appliance.  
Steam could reach electrical  
components and cause a short  
circuit.  
^ Disconnect the appliance from the  
mains electricity supply.  
^ Take any food out of the appliance  
and store it in a cool place.  
The data plate located inside the  
appliance must not be removed. It  
contains information which is required  
in the event of a service call.  
^ Take out any removable parts, e.g.  
shelves, for cleaning.  
Adjustable shelves  
To avoid damaging the surfaces of  
your appliance, do not use:  
Before cleaning shelves remove the  
stainless steel trim from the front and  
the protective strip from the back of the  
shelf. To do this:  
– cleaning agents containing soda,  
ammonia, acids or chlorides,  
^ Place the shelf on a worktop covered  
with a soft material (e.g. a tea towel).  
– cleaning agents containing  
descaling agents,  
^ Pull the stainless steel trim off the  
shelf, beginning at one side.  
– abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.  
powder cleaners and cream  
cleaners,  
^ Pull the protective strip off the shelf.  
– solvent-based cleaning agents,  
– stainless steel cleaning agents,  
– dishwasher cleaner,  
^ After cleaning the shelf reattach the  
stainless steel trim and protective  
strip.

Cleaning and care  
Cleaning the interior and  
accessories  
The following are not dishwasher safe:  
– the stainless steel trim and the  
protective strips on the shelves and  
door shelves  
The appliance should be cleaned  
regularly, at least once a month.  
– the fruit and vegetable drawer  
– the freezer drawers  
Remove any obvious soiling immedi-  
ately and do not let it dry on.  
^ These should all be hand washed.  
^ Clean the interior surfaces and  
accessories with a solution of  
lukewarm water and a little  
washing-up liquid. After cleaning,  
wipe with clean water and dry with a  
soft cloth.  
^ Clean the condensate channel and  
drain hole frequently, so that  
condensate can drain away  
unhindered. Use a straw or similar to  
clear the drain hole if necessary.  
The following are dishwasher safe:  
^ Leave the doors open to air the  
appliance for a short while.  
– the bottle holder, egg trays, ice cube  
tray  
(supplied as standard, depending on  
model)  
Ventilation gaps  
^ The ventilation gaps should be  
cleaned on a regular basis with a  
brush or vacuum cleaner. A build-up  
of dust will increase the energy  
consumption of the appliance.  
– the shelves and bottle shelf in the  
door  
– the adjustable shelves (excluding  
any stainless steel trim or protective  
strip)  
The temperature of the dishwasher  
programme must not exceed 55 °C.  
Contact with some foodstuffs, such  
as carrots, tomatoes or ketchup can  
cause plastic items to discolour.  
However, this discolouration will not  
affect the stability of plastic items.  
37  
Cleaning and care  
Door seals  
Do not use any oils or grease on the  
door seals as these will cause the  
seal to deteriorate and become  
porous over time.  
^ The door seals should be cleaned  
regularly with clean water, and then  
wiped dry with a soft cloth.  
After cleaning  
^ Replace all shelves and accessories  
in the appliance.  
^ Reconnect to the mains and switch  
the appliance back on.  
^ Switch on the Super freeze function  
for a while so that the appliance can  
cool down quickly.  
^ Place food back in the refrigerator  
section and close the doors.  
^ Once the freezer section has  
reached the required temperature,  
place the food back in the freezer  
drawers and put them back in the  
freezer.

57  
Building in the appliance  
The following installation parts are  
required  
– required for fitting the furniture  
door:  
All installation parts are number coded.  
This coding is also used in the  
installation instructions.  
– required for installing the  
appliance in its housing unit:  
All fitting instructions given are for a  
right-hand hinged appliance. If you  
have converted the appliance to  
left-hand hinging you will need to  
adapt these instructions accordingly.

of the appliance on the door opening  
side.  
1. Position the sealing strip flush with  
the lower edge of the top fixing.  
2. Stick it down along its entire  
length.  
^ Push the appliance into the niche:  
– until the top fixing bracket c  
touches the front edge of the furniture  
side wall.  
– until the front edge of lower  
left-hand fixing bracket j and the  
lower right-hand fixing bracket is  
flush with the front edge of housing  
unit base.  
A gap of 42 mm (from the appliance  
carcase to the front edge of the  
furniture side walls) must be  
maintained.  
60  
Building in the appliance  
If the all round gap of 42 mm is not  
maintained between the appliance  
casing and the front edge of the  
housing unit side walls the door may  
not shut properly.  
This can cause ice to build up,  
condensate to accumulate and lead  
to faults in the appliance. These can  
all lead to increased energy  
consumption.  
On furniture with door fittings (e.g.  
stubs, seals etc) the dimension of  
these must be taken into account to  
ensure there is a gap all round of  
42 mm.  
^ Align the appliance on both side  
using the adjustable feet.  
^ Pull the appliance forwards by the  
dimension of the door fitting to keep  
the gap at 42 mm all round.  
Tip: Remove the door fittings. This will  
ensure that the door is flush with the  
surrounding kitchen unit furniture doors.  
61  
Building in the appliance
