Air Extraction - Miele DA 362-75 Operating And Installation Instructions

Danger of toxic fumes!
Gas cooking appliances release
carbon monoxide that can be
harmful or fatal if inhaled. The
exhaust gases extracted by the
hood should be vented outside of
the building only.
Do not terminate the exhaust
ducts in attics, garages,
crawlspaces, etc.
– The extraction ducting should be as
short and straight as possible, and
the number of sharp bends should
be minimized.
– For most efficient air extraction, the
diameter of the ductwork should not
be less than 5" (125 mm).
Noise levels of the hood will increase
if flat ducts or round ducts of less
than 5" (125 mm) in diameter are
used.
Only reduce the diameter of the
ducting if absolutely necessary, e.g.
where narrower ducting has already
been installed.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, only use
metal ductwork.
CAUTION
To reduce risk of fire and to properly
exhaust air, be sure to duct air
outside. Do not vent exhaust air into
spaces within walls or ceilings or
into attics, crawl spaces, or garages.
– Only use wide radius bends. Tight
bends reduce the air flow of the
hood.
– Use smooth or flexible pipes made
from approved non-flammable
materials for exhaust ducting.
– Where the ductwork is horizontal, it
must slope away from the hood at
least 1/8" per foot (1 cm per meter) to
prevent condensation dripping into
the appliance.
– If the exhaust is ducted through an
outside wall, a Miele Telescopic Wall
Vent can be used.
– If the exhaust is ducted into an
inactive flue, the air must be expelled
parallel to the flow direction of the
flue.
