Miele DA 216-2 EXT Operating And Installation Instructions page 6

The distance between the top of
the cooker/hob and the bottom of
the cooker hood must measure at least:
– 450 mm above electric hobs and
cookers
– 650 mm above gas hobs and
cookers
– 650 mm above an open grill from our
range
When fitted above an open grill the
cooker hood must not be used in recir-
culation mode.
For non-Miele cooking appliances
maintain the safety distance as recom-
mended by the manufacturer in their
Installation and Operating instructions.
If more than one appliance is fitted be-
neath the cooker hood and they have
different minimum safety distances to
the cooker hood, select the greater
distance.
Safety regulations prohibit the
fitting of a cooker hood over solid
fuel stoves.
All ducting, pipework and fittings
must be of non-flammable ma-
terial. These can be obtained from the
Miele Spare Parts department or from
builders' merchants.
The appliance must not be con-
nected to a chimney or vent flue
which is in use. Neither should it be
connected to ducting which ventilates
rooms with fireplaces.

If exhaust air is to be extracted into
a chimney or ventilation duct no
longer used for other purposes, seek
professional advice.
