Load-bearing capacity of the niche
floor
To ensure the safe installation of the re-
frigeration appliance and to guarantee
its correct functioning, the floor of the
niche where the appliance is to be in-
stalled must be smooth and even.
It must be made from strong, rigid ma-
terial.
Because the refrigeration appliance is
extremely heavy when fully loaded, it is
essential that the floor it stands on is
able to bear its weight. If necessary,
seek the advice of an architect or con-
struction expert.
When fully loaded, the weight of the re-
frigeration appliance is approx.:
KF 2802 Vi, KF 2812 Vi 866 lbs
(393 kg)
KF 2902 Vi, KF 2912 Vi 990 lbs
(449 kg)
Ventilation
 Risk of fire and damage due to
insufficient ventilation.
If the refrigeration appliance is not
ventilated sufficiently, the compres-
sor will run more frequently and for
longer periods.
This causes increased energy con-
sumption and an increased com-
pressor operating temperature,
which can result in damage to the
compressor.
Please ensure that there is adequate
ventilation around the refrigeration
appliance.
Do not block the ventilation gaps.
The ventilation gaps must never be
obstructed.
Door hinge
 Risk of damage and injury when
changing the door hinges.
Changing the door hinges single-
handedly can cause damage to the
appliance and injury.
The refrigeration appliance is sup-
plied with a fixed hinge. On no ac-
count should you attempt to change
the door hinge yourself.
If you need to change the door hinge
to the other side, please contact the
Miele Service department.
