Important Safety Instructions - Miele KM 5676 Operating And Installation Instructions

To eliminate the risk of burns or fire
by reaching over heated surfaces
cabinet storage space above the
cooktop should be avoided. If cabinet
storage is necessary, the risk can be
reduced by installing a venting hood to
project horizontally a minimum of 5"
beyond the bottom of the cabinets.
Because of the heat radiated it is
not recommended to install the
cooktop above a drawer. It should be
installed above a cabinet base unit with
a dummy drawer front. A protective
base should also be installed between
the dummy drawer and the cooktop.
This appliance has not been
designed for maritime use or for
use in mobile installations such as
recreational vehicles or aircraft.
However, under certain conditions it
may be possible for installation in these
applications. Please contact the Miele
Technical Service Department with
specific requirements.
The cooktop must not be
permanently sealed into the
countertop when installed. The sealing
strip under the edge of the cooktop
provides a sufficient seal for the
countertop. See "Sealing".

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Safety distances above the
appliance
As a general rule there must be a safety
distance of at least 30" (760 mm)
between the appliance and any objects
above it, e.g. cabinetry, venting hood,
etc. If the manufacturer of these items
states a different figure, always adhere
to the greater distance. Their
measurements should be given in their
operating and installation instructions.
If there is more than one appliance
beneath a hood, e.g. wok burner
and electric cooktop, and they have
different minimum safety distances
always select the greater distance.
