Is manual defrosting required?

No, the wine cellar is equipped with an automatic defrost system. Condensation water is drained via an evaporation tray. No manual intervention is necessary.

What should I do if the door does not close properly?

Check that the appliance is level (use adjustable feet). Ensure no objects are blocking the closure and hinges are not loose. If the issue persists, contact Miele after-sales service.

How do I clean the interior of the wine cellar?

Unplug the appliance, remove the shelves, and clean surfaces with a soft cloth dampened with warm water and mild soap. Dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasive products or solvents.

Why is the LED lighting not turning on?

This merging kit should be used for side-by-side installation of the following models:

• K 18x1 Vi, K 19x1 Vi
• F 14x1 Vi, F 18x1 Vi, F 19x1 Vi
• KF 18x1 Vi, KF 19x1 Vi
• KWT 16x1 Vi

Before you begin

Please read all instructions in this manual, as well as the manual which accompanied your machine, before installation and use.

This appliance is top-heavy and must be secured to prevent the possibility of tipping forward.

Keep the doors closed until the appliance is completely installed and secured per the installation instructions.

To reduce the risk of injury or damage to the product, two people should be used for installation.

Side-by-side

... without partition

If the appliances are installed directly next to each other (without a partition), they need to be attached together. A heating mat must also be installed. This will help avoid condensation and prevent damages.

Installing the heating mat will increase energy consumption.

... with partition

The minimum thickness of the partition is 58 " (16 mm).

If there is a partition with a thickness from 5/8'' (16 mm) to 6^5/_16'' (160 mm) between the adjacent appliances, then each appliance should be individually installed within its own niche using the mounting accessories included.

In this case, you will only need the heating mat from the "Merging Kit" to avoid condensation and prevent damages.

Installing the heating mat will increase energy consumption.

When finding the dimensions for the partition in model 4, note the thickness of the custom door panels and the door handles. This will prevent damage to the doors if they are opened at the same time.
