Installation

Base

A fully loaded appliance is very heavy. The load-bearing capacity of your floor must meet the following requirements:

KWT 16x1 Vi . . . . . . . . 704 lbs (319 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 are connected securely to the base or the wall by 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.

Custom door panels

This appliance is compatible with all styles and designs of kitchen cabinetry.

The total weight of the decorative panel(s) must not exceed the following:

KWT 16x1 Vi . . . . . . . . . 137 lbs (62 kg)

Do not install a solid custom door panel onto the front of the appliance. Condensation will form between the glass and custom door.

One of the standout technologies of the KWT1611VI is Miele's Active AirClean filter.

The innovative LED lighting illuminates the interior without generating heat, ensuring your wine bottles are showcased beautifully while being stored at the correct temperatures.

In addition to their robust functionality, the KWT1611VI and KWT1601VI are constructed with high-quality materials, including stainless steel and UV-resistant glass. This not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the coolers but also protects wine from harmful UV radiation, which can degrade quality over time.
