Miele KM 6386 Induction Cooktop Installation Guide

INSTALLATION

Safety instructions for installation

Risk of damage from incorrect installation.
Incorrect installation can damage the cooktop. The cooktop must only be installed by a qualified specialist.
Risk of electric shock from voltage.
Incorrect connection to the power supply may result in an electric shock. The cooktop must be connected to the power supply by a qualified electrician.
**** Damage from falling objects.
Take care not to damage the cooktop when installing wall units or a ventilation hood above it. Install the wall units and ventilation hood before installing the cooktop.

• The veneer or laminate coatings of countertops must be treated with 212° F (100 °C) heat-resistant adhesive which will not dissolve or become deformed. Wall strips must also be heat-resistant.
• The cooktop must not be installed above refrigerators/freezers, dishwashers, or washers/dryers.
• This cooktop must not be installed above ovens or cookers unless these have a built-in cooling down fan.
• Ensure that the power cord cannot be touched after the cooktop has been installed.
• After the installation of the cooktop, the electrical cord may not come into contact with any moving kitchen parts (e.g. a drawer) or be subject to mechanical stress.
• Observe carefully the safety clearances listed on the following pages.

Safety clearances

Safety clearance above the cooktop

For a ventilation hood positioned above the cooktop, always use the clearance specified by the hood manufacturer. If no specifications are available from the hood manufacturer, or if flammable materials (e.g. wall shelf) are installed above the cooktop, the clearance must be at least 760 mm (30″).
If there is more than one appliance installed below the ventilation hood, each with a different safety clearance, the largest clearance must be used.

Safety clearances to the sides and back of the cooktop

Ideally, the cooktop should be installed with plenty of space on either side.
The minimum distance 1 shown below must be maintained between the back of the cooktop and a tall unit or wall.
The minimum distance 2,3 shown below must be maintained between a tall unit or a wall to the left or right of the cooktop with a minimum distance of 300 mm (11 3/4″) on the opposite side.

1. The minimum distance between the back of the countertop cut-out and the rear edge of the countertop: 50 mm (2″)
2. Minimum distance on the right side between the countertop cut-out and the closest adjacent piece of furniture (e.g. tall cabinet) or a room wall: 50 mm (2″)
3. Minimum distance on the left side between the countertop cut-out and the closest adjacent piece of furniture (e.g. tall cabinet) or a room wall: 50 mm (2″)

Minimum clearance underneath the cooktop

To ensure proper ventilation of the cooktop, minimum clearance is required between the appliance and an oven, protective base, or drawer. The minimum clearance from the bottom of the cooktop to
– The top of an oven is /” (15 mm).
– The top of an interim shelf is /” (15 mm).
– The base of a drawer is 3″ (75 mm).

Protective base
Installation of a protective base under the cooktop is allowed but not required.
Leave a gap of 7/16″ (10 mm) at the back of the shelf to accommodate the cable. We recommend a gap at the front of the shelf of 13/16″ (20 mm) to ensure good ventilation.

Safety distance from the wall covering

If a wall covering is installed, a minimum safety distance must be maintained between the countertop cut-out and the covering, since high temperatures can damage these materials.
If the covering is made of flammable material (such as wood), the minimum distance between 5 the countertop cut-out and the wall covering must be 50 mm (2″ ).
For coverings made of non-flammable materials (such as metal, natural stone, ceramic tiles) the minimum safety distance between the countertop cut-out and the wall covering is equal to 50 mm (2″) minus the thickness of the covering. For example: thickness of wall covering 15 mm (3/16″) 50 mm (2″) – 15 mm (3/16″) = minimum distance of 35 mm (1 7/16″)

1. Masonry
2. Wallcovering dimension x = thickness of the wall covering
3. Countertop
4. Countertop cut-out
5. Minimum distance to flammable materials: 50 mm (2″) non-flammable materials: 50 mm (2″) – dimension x

Instructions for installation

Seal between cooktop and countertop

** Damage caused by incorrect installation. Using sealant under the cooktop could result in damage to the cooktop and the countertop if the cooktop ever needs to be removed for servicing. Do not use sealant between the cooktop and the countertop. The sealing strip under the edge of the cooktop provides a sufficient seal for the countertop.
Sealing strip**
Dismantling the cooktop for service purposes may damage the sealing strip underneath the edge of the cooktop. Always replace the sealing strip before reinstalling the cooktop.

Tiled countertop

The grouting1 and the shaded area under the cooktop frame must be smooth and flat so that the frame will sit evenly on the countertop and so that the sealing strip under the top edge of the appliance can provide an adequate seal with the countertop.

The power cable 4′ (1200 mm long) is supplied separately from the cooktop.

• Create the countertop cut-out. Remember to maintain the minimum safety distances (see “Installation” ­ “Safety distances”).
• Seal any cut surfaces on wooden countertops with a special varnish, silicone rubber, or resin to prevent the wood from swelling as a result of moisture. The sealant must be temperature-resistant.

Ensure that the sealant does not get on the top surface of the countertop.

• Attach the sealing strip provided underneath the edge of the cooktop. Do not apply the sealing strip under tension.

**** Risk of damage from the incorrect connection. The electronics of the cooktop may be damaged if a short-circuit occurs. The power cable must be connected to the cooktop by a qualified electrician.

• Connect the power cable to the cooktop by following the instructions in the wiring diagram (see “Installation ­ Electrical connection”).
• Feed the cooktop power cable down through the cut-out in the countertop.
• Place the cooktop centrally in the cut-out. When doing this, make sure that the seal of the appliance sits flush with the countertop on all sides. This is important to ensure an effective seal all around.

If the seal does not sit flush with the countertop in the corners, the corner radius ( R4) can be carefully cut to fit using a jigsaw.

• Connect the cooktop to the electricity supply (see “Installation ­ Electrical connection”).
• Check that the cooktop works.

Electrical connection

ATTENTION:
Before installation or servicing, disconnect the power supply by either removing the fuse, shutting off the main power or manually “tripping” the circuit breaker.
Installation work and repairs should only be performed by a qualified technician in accordance with all applicable codes and standards. Repairs and services by unqualified persons could be dangerous and the manufacturer will not be held responsible. Installation, repair, and maintenance work should only be performed by a Miele-authorized service technician. Work by unqualified persons can cause considerable danger to users. Miele cannot be held liable for any damage arising as a result of such work.
Before connecting the appliance to the power supply, make sure that the voltage and frequency listed on the rating label correspond with the household electrical supply. This data must correspond to prevent appliance damage. Consult an electrician if in doubt.
For safety reasons, the cooktop may only be used when it has been fully installed into the countertop.

This cooktop must be grounded in compliance with local or national codes. Installation, repair, and maintenance work must only be performed by a technician authorized by Miele in compliance with local codes and the ANSI National Electrical Code / NFPA 70 in the United States or the Canadian Electric Code, CSA C22.1-02. for Canada.
Installer: Please leave these instructions with the customer.

Connection

Ensure that the connection data on the data plate (voltage, frequency, and fuse rating) match those of your electrical supply.
The data plate is located underneath the cooktop.
The cooktop is approved and ready for connection to a grounded connector with three connecting wires, sheathed by a flexible metal hose. It must be connected to an assigned line in an approved connecting socket.
The appliance must be able to be disconnected from the power supply on all poles by disconnecting devices! (When turned off, a contact distance of at least 3 mm must be present!) The disconnecting devices are overcurrent protection elements and protective circuit breakers.
Black: Connect to L1 (hot)
Red: Connect to L2 (hot)
Green: Connect to GND (ground)
