hard, rigid material.
If in doubt, contact Miele.

The new appliance will be mounted
securely to adjacent and overhead
furniture/fixtures.
For this reason, it is essential that all
attachable furniture/fixtures be
connected securely to the floor or wall
by a 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.

and the best possible cosmetic result,
check to be sure that the installation
space complies with the installation
dimensions. See "Niche dimensions".

walls and the top wall must be 5/8"
(16 mm).
