Connection For Air Extraction - Miele DA 1160 Operating And Installation Instructions

Important: To avoid the danger of
toxic fumes, please observe the
Warning and Safety instructions.
This is especially crucial when using
the rangehood at the same time as
another heating appliance which
relies on air from the same room.
The rangehood should be installed
according to local and national
building regulations. Seek approval
from the building inspector where
necessary.
– Only use smooth pipes or flexible
hoses made from non-flammable
materials for extraction connection.
To achieve the most efficient air
extraction with the lowest noise levels,
please note the following:
– The diameter of the exhaust ducting
should not be less than 150 mm.
– If flat ducting is being used, the
cross section must not be smaller
than the cross sectional area of the
exhaust connection.
– The exhaust ducting should be as
short and straight as possible.
– Only use wide radius bends.
– The exhaust duct must not be kinked
or compressed.
– Ensure that all connections are
strong and airtight.

Connection for air extraction

– When ducting is horizontal, it must
be laid to slope away at at least 1 cm
per metre to ensure no condensate
drains into the appliance.
– If the exhaust is ducted through an
outside wall, a telescopic wall vent or
a roof vent (available as an optional
accessory) is recommended.
– If the exhaust air is to be ducted into
a vent flue, the ducting must be
directed in the flow direction of the
flue.
Important!
If the exhaust ducting is to run through
rooms, ceiling space etc. where there
may be great variations in temperature
between the different areas, the
problem of condensation will need to
be addressed. The exhaust ducting will
need to be suitably insulated.
