Overview
Miele's KF 1813 Vi is a left-hinged integrated bottom-freezer that fits a 29 3/4-inch opening, so it suits cabinets planned tightly across the Miami, New York, Houston, Los Angeles and San Diego metro areas. An ice maker comes with the unit, which makes the water line part of the setup: it needs 25 to 80 psi of supply pressure through a standard 1/4-inch flexible connection. The power draw is 110/120 V at 60 Hz on a 15 amp circuit, and the five-foot cord ends in a NEMA 5-15 plug. On the booking form, list the symptom first, then the complete model string off the rating label, then any code the panel displays.
The left-hinged door and the MasterCool controls set this unit apart from right-hinged bottom-freezers of similar width. A 29 3/4-inch body with an included ice maker means the water line is part of the everyday setup, not an add-on. SmartFresh drawers keep produce in the fresh-food section, so a problem there is checked against those drawers first. Confirm the door swing before the cabinet is finished.
