KF 18X1 Vi . . . . . . . . . 992 lbs (450 kg) KF 19X1 Vi . . . . . . . 1,190 lbs (541 kg)

To ensure that the appliance is installed securely and functions properly, the base must be flat, level and made of a hard, rigid material.

If in doubt, contact Miele.

Furniture/fixtures

The new appliance will be mounted securely to adjacent and overhead furniture/fixtures.

For this reason, it is essential that all attachable furniture/fixtures be connected securely to the floor or wall by a suitable means.

Ventilation

The air intake and outlet must not be blocked or covered in any way. They also need to be dusted/cleaned on a regular basis.

Installation niche

To ensure safe, trouble-free installation and the best possible cosmetic result, check to be sure that the installation space complies with the installation dimensions. See "Niche dimensions".

The side walls of the installation cavity must be plumb.

The minimum thickness of the side walls and the top wall must be 5/8" (16 mm).

The minimum thickness of the toe-kick panel must be ½" (13 mm). A thickness of 3/4" (19 mm) is recommended.
