Side-by-side
This appliance can be installed side-by-
side with another refrigeration appli-
ance. The following overview will show
you which side-by-side options you
have with your appliance:
A side-by-side merging kit and a top
frame (KTF) are required for this. Both
are available from your Miele dealer or
Miele Service.
Instructions for installing appliances
side-by-side can be found in the side-
by-side merging kit instruction man-
ual.
. . . with partition wall
The wall
a
between the side-by-side
appliances must be
at least
5/8" (16 mm)
thick.
If the door hinges of the refrigeration
appliances are next to each other,
you must take into account the thick-
ness of the cabinet fronts and door
handles so that the appliance doors
do not collide and become damaged
if they are opened at the same time.
The refrigeration appliances are secured
individually in their installation niche us-
ing the supplied installation material.
If the partition wall
a
is
narrower than
6 5/16" (160 mm)
, you will need the
side panel heater from the side-by-side
installation kit to prevent condensation
from forming and any resulting damage.
When planning installation niches,
please note that the niche into which
the refrigeration appliance with the
side panel heater is installed must be
3/16" (4 mm)
wider (see “Installation
– Building-in dimensions”).
If the partition wall
a
is
thicker than
6 5/16" (160 mm)
, you do not need the
side-by-side installation kit, nor the side
panel heater.
