Miele KM 81-2 operating instructions öGas connection

]öGas connection

This appliance must be installed with a separate shut-off valve and a gas pressure regulator.

Both shut-off valve and pressure regulator must be easily accessible to the consumer.

This appliance and its individual shut-off valve must be discon- nected from the gas supply during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 PSI (3.5 kPa). This appliance must be isolated from the gas supply pip- ing system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 PSI (3.5 kPa).

A straight thread adapter, from 1/2" ISO 7-1 to 1/2" NPT is included with the ap- pliance.

(Elbow adapter is also included for appliances sold in Canada.)

As shown in the above diagram, the in- cluded adapter and regulator must be used when connecting the Miele cook- top. These two items have been cus- tomized by Miele to meet all applicable safety requirements.

Any pipe connections must be made using a thread sealant ap- proved for gas connections. Failure to correctly install these items could lead to a gas leak and subsequent explosion.

For convenience, an approved type of flexible stainless steel gas pipe (accordion type) may be installed between the adapter and the regulator. This will allow the unit to be lifted for cleaning or servicing. Ensure that any drawers, cabinet doors, etc. do not rub on the gas pipe.

If an elbow adapter is necessary for your particular installation, a cus- tomized one

–can be obtained free of charge from the Miele parts department (USA).

–is supplied with the appliance (CDN). The end with the white mark- ing screws onto the appliance.

Do not use any regulator or adapter, straight, elbow or otherwise, unless it has been supplied by Miele Ap- pliances.

Should you have any questions, please call the Miele Service Department at USA: 1-800-843-7231
