Miele DA279-3 Operating And Installation Instructions page 28

The majority of the weight of the in-
stalled ventilation system will be
supported by the lower retaining
plate. It must be firmly attached to
the stud framing behind the drywall.
If studs are not available in the re-
quired locations, a plywood backing
1
(min. / " (13 mm) thick) spanning at
2
least two studs must be installed.
Failure to adequately support the
weight as stated may result in the
ventilation system falling off the wall,
causing personal injury and property
damage.
(If plywood backing is not needed, pro-
ceed to the included installation sheet.)
^ Determine and mark the location of
the retaining plate for the canopy as
outlined on the installation sheet.
^ Make a cutting line 3" (76 mm) above
and 3" (76 mm) below the outline of
the retaining plate.

^ Find the studs to the left and right of
the mounting location by tapping the
wall or using a stud finder.
^ Mark a vertical cutting line along the
center of each stud.
Be careful not to damage any wiring
or plumbing that may be located be-
hind the wall. Make sure that the
power supply to the area where this
installation is being performed has
been turned off at the breaker panel
before cutting into the wall.
^ Remove the drywall between the cut-
ting lines and replace it with plywood
of a matching thickness (min.
(13 mm) thick). Tape the joints and
refinish the wall.
^ Proceed to the included installation
sheet to complete the installation.
