Installation

The minimum distances given in these Installation Instructions must be observed in order to ensure safe operation. Failure to do so increases the risk of fire.

To prevent appliance damage, the cabinetry and venting hood should be installed first.

The countertop must be bonded with heat resistant (212 °F/100 °C) adhesive to prevent distortion.

The cooktops should only be installed with the required safety distances shown. Do not install the cooktop between 2 tall cabinets as this is a fire hazard.

① = Minimum safety distances:

$$ \mathrm{KM} 4 0 0 = 2 ^ {\prime \prime} (5 0 \mathrm{mm}) $$

$$ \mathrm{KM} 4 0 2 / 4 0 3 = 2 ^ {\prime \prime} (5 0 \mathrm{mm}) $$

$$ \mathrm{KM} 4 0 8 - 1 = 2 ^ {\prime \prime} (5 0 \mathrm{mm}) $$

$$ \mathrm{KM} 4 1 0 / 4 1 1 = 1 0 ^ {\prime \prime} (2 5 0 \mathrm{mm}) $$

Deep fryers must not be installed next to gas cooktops. Gas flames can ignite splattering oil. A distance of at least 12" (305 mm) should be maintained between these two appliances.

Cooktops should not be installed above a dishwasher, washer, dryer, freezer or refrigerator. Heat generated by cooktops could damage these appliances.
This equipment has not been designed for maritime use or for use in mobile installations such as aircraft or recreational vehicles. However, under certain circumstances it may be possible for an installation in these applications. Please contact the nearest Miele Dealer or the Miele Technical Service Department with specific requirements.

Safety distance above the appliances

There must be a minimum safety distance of at least 30 inches (760 mm) between the top of the appliance and any cabinet above it, ②. If the cabinet manufacturer recommends a different distance, follow that manufacturer's recommendation.

When installing the cooktops under an exhaust hood, always observe the minimum safety distances recommended by the hood manufacturer.

Safety distance between the KM 410 / KM 411 and a venting hood

The minimum safety distance between the KM 410 / KM 411 and the bottom of a venting hood should be no less than 26" (650 mm).

The filters of the venting hood should be cleaned regularly.

Never leave the grill unattended when in use.

If more than one appliance is installed beneath a hood and they have different minimum safety distances, the greater distance should be followed.

Keep this instruction book in a safe place and pass it on to any future owner.

Cutting out the countertop

All Miele combisets have the same length and width. Make sure that there is enough room beneath the countertop to allow for the depth of the various appliances. When installing a KM 402 / KM 403 or KM 410 / KM 411 remember to allow clearance for the drain valve that will be located in the cabinet beneath the appliances.

The following safety distances must be maintained:

• Between the cooktop and rear wall: 2" (50 mm).
• Between the cooktop and side wall or cabinet:

$$ \mathrm{KM} 4 0 0 = 2 ^ {\prime \prime} (5 0 \mathrm{mm}) $$

$$ \mathrm{KM} 4 0 2 / 4 0 3 = 2 ^ {\prime \prime} (5 0 \mathrm{mm}) $$

$$ \mathrm{KM} 4 0 8 - 1 = 2 ^ {\prime \prime} (5 0 \mathrm{mm}) $$

$$ \mathrm{KM} 4 1 0 / 4 1 1 = 1 0 ^ {\prime \prime} (2 5 0 \mathrm{mm} $$

Refer to section "Important Safety Instructions" for further information.

Installing one or multiple appliances:

Cut out the countertop using the dimensions listed in the following table.

Number of cooktops	Cut out width Dimension "B"
1	10^13/_16" (274 mm)
2	22^1/_8" (562 mm)
3	33^1/_2" (850 mm)
4	44^13/_16 (1138 mm)
5	56^1/_8" (1426 mm)
6	67^1/_2" (1714 mm)
7	78^13/_16" (2002 mm)

The tolerance for each dimension is ^1/_16 " (1 mm).

When installing more than one combiset cooktop, a support bar must be installed between the appliances. Install the support bars as shown on the following page before setting the appliances into the countertop.

Laying out the support bars and clamps

① Clamps
② Support bars

This illustration shows the layout for 3 combisets, their respective support bars, ②, and the 14 spring clamps, ①, required for correct installation.

If more than 3 combisets are being installed, add an additional 11^3/8 (288 mm) to the overall width of the cut out for each extra combiset, or use the table on the preceding page.

③ Slight gap between support bar and countertop.

Securing the support bars

Wood or Corian countertops

■ Arrange the bars, ②, as shown in the illustration
■ Drill ^1/_16 " (1.5 mm) pilot holes through the brackets and secure them using the supplied screws.
■ Fill the gap, ③, between the bars and the countertop using the supplied silicon sealant.

Granite countertops

For granite countertops, the support bars, ②, can be secured using double-sided construction tape. Do not allow the bars to "float", they must be securely fastened. Fill the gap, ③, between the bars and the countertop using the supplied silicon sealant.

The screws are not necessary for granite countertops.

Securing the spring clamps

Wood or Corian countertops

■ Place the spring clamps, ①, as shown in the illustration.
- Drill two ^1/_16 " (1.5 mm) pilot holes for each clamp and secure using the supplied screws.

Granite countertops

For granite countertops, the spring clamps can be secured using doublesided construction adhesive. Do not allow the spring clamps to "float", they must be securely fastened.

The screws are not necessary for granite countertops.

Locking the appliance into place

Make sure the cooktops are aligned correctly before setting them into the countertop. Once the spring clamps are engaged, a special tool is required to release the cooktop from the clamps.

■ Guide the power cord through the cut out and connect the appliance to the electrical supply.
■ Position the cooktop over the cut out. With a hand on each side, above the clamps, ①, press the cooktop down, locking it into the spring clamps. Make sure that the cooktop rim lies flat against the countertop on all sides.

Important

The cooktop must not be permanently sealed into the countertop when installed.

If the cooktop is sealed into position, the countertop or appliance may be damaged if the cooktop needs to be removed for maintenance or service. The sealing strip under the edge of the cooktop provides a sufficient seal for the countertop.

WARNING:

Disconnect the appliance from the main power supply before servicing. To reduce the risk of electric shock, make sure that the appliance is properly grounded after installation.
