Installation Instructions
KWT 6322 UG en - CA
Installation, repair and maintenance work should be performed by
a Miele authorized service technician in accordance with national
and local safety regulations and the provided installation instructions.

,Failure to follow these
instructions can result in death, fire,
or electrical shock.
Improper connection of the
equipment grounding conductor
may result in electric shock.
If you are in any doubt as to whether
the appliance has been properly
grounded, have the appliance
checked by a qualified electrician or
service technician.
Installation, repairs and other work
by unqualified persons could be
dangerous. The manufacturer will
not be held responsible for damage
or injury arising from unauthorized
work.
Before installing the appliance,
verify that the voltage, load and
circuit rating information found on
the data plate match the household
electrical supply.
,To guarantee the electrical
safety of this appliance, continuity
must exist between the appliance
and an effective grounding system.
It is imperative that this basic safety
requirement be met. If there is any
doubt, have the electrical system of
the house checked by a qualified
electrician.
,This appliance is equipped with
a three-prong grounding plug to
prevent shock hazards. It should be
plugged directly into a properly
grounded outlet. Do not cut or
remove the grounding prong from
the plug. If the plug does not fit the
outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by a licensed electrician.
Do not use extension cords or
ungrounded (two prong) adapters.
Connect this appliance to a 110 –
120 VAC, 60 Hz and 15 amp (20 amp
for side-by-side) circuit with a circuit
breaker or fuse.
This appliance must be grounded
according to local or national codes.
Electrical connection
51

The appliance must be connected to an
electrical outlet that is properly
grounded. The electrical installation
must comply with the applicable
electrical code.
The plug must be easily accessible and
not concealed behind the appliance so
that the appliance can quickly be
disconnected from the electricity
supply in an emergency. In addition, no
other appliances should be plugged
into a socket located directly behind
this appliance.
The power cord must not come into
contact with the back of the appliance,
as they could be damaged by
vibrations from the appliance. This may
result in a short circuit.
Do not use an extension cord to
connect the appliance to the power
supply. Extension cords do not
guarantee the required safety of the
appliance (e.g. they pose a danger of
overheating).
Do not connect the appliance to
stand-alone inverters, such as those
used with an autonomous energy
source, e.g. solar power systems.
Otherwise, when the appliance is
switched on, peak loads in the system
can cause the safety shutdown
mechanism to be triggered. This can
damage electronic units.
In addition, the appliance must not be
used with energy-saving devices,
which reduce the amount of energy
supplied to the appliance and cause it
to overheat.
If the power cord needs to be replaced,
this work must only be performed by a
qualified electrician.

To avoid tipping over, the appliance
must be properly installed and
secured.
WARNING!
Danger of tilting! To avoid a hazard
due to instability of the appliance, it
must be secured in accordance with
the instructions.
Side-by-side installation
To avoid a build-up of condensation
and resultant damage, refrigerators and
freezers should not generally be
installed directly next to other such
appliances.
However, this wine storage unit can be
installed side-by-side with certain
models.
Please contact Miele for specific
information about which
combinations will work with your
appliance.
Location
This appliance should not be installed
where it is exposed to direct sunlight or
directly adjacent to a heat-producing
appliance such as an oven or a
radiator. The room temperature should
not go above or below the climate
range for which the appliance is
designed. The higher the ambient
temperature of the room, the more
energy the appliance requires to
operate.
The appliance should be installed in a
dry, well-ventilated room.
The following should also be taken into
consideration:
– The plug must be easily accessible
and not concealed behind the
appliance so that the appliance can
quickly be disconnected from the
electricity supply in an emergency. In
addition, no other appliances should
be plugged into a socket located
directly behind this appliance.
– The power cord must not come into
contact with the back of the
appliance, as they could be
damaged by vibrations from the
appliance. This may result in a short
circuit.

Climate class
The appliance is designed for use
within a certain climate range (ambient
temperatures) and should not be used
outside this range. The climate range of
the appliance is stated on the data
plate inside the appliance.

Operating in a room which is too cold
will cause the compressor to turn off for
too long, causing the internal
temperature in the appliance to rise
resulting in damage.
,Caution:
At altitudes above 4921 ft. (1500 m)
there is a risk of the glass door
shattering!
Shards of glass can cause injury!
Ventilation
WARNING! Danger of damage from
overheating. May restrict operation.
Keep ventilation openings, in the
appliance enclosure or in the built-in
structure, clear of obstruction.
The ventilation gaps given must be
observed, otherwise the compressor
will run more frequently and for
longer periods. This will result in
increased energy consumption and
a higher operating temperature for
the compressor. This may, in turn,
cause the compressor to be
damaged.
The appliance is ventilated via the
grill in the plinth.
This must not be covered over or
blocked.
Clean the plinth regularly to remove
any dust.

the opening angle to 90°. This may be
necessary if the appliance door hits an
adjacent wall when opened, for
example.
