Miele KM 451 Installation Instructions Manual page 4

The minimum distances given in
these Installation Instructions must
be observed in order to ensure safe
operation. Failure to do so increases
the risk of fire.
The cabinetry and venting hood
should be installed first, to prevent
damage to the cooktop.
The countertop must be bonded
with heat resistant (212 °F/100 °C)
adhesive to prevent distortion or
dissolving.
The cooktop can only be installed
as shown in the illustrations, while
maintaining the required safety
distances shown. Do not install the
cooktop between two tall cabinets, this
is a fire hazard.
a A minimum distance of 2"
(50 mm) from the cooktop to the rear
wall and a side wall or cabinet must
be maintained for safety reasons.
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"
(127 mm) beyond the bottom of the
cabinets.
