Safety Distance (S) - Miele DA 428-4 EXT Operating And Installation Instructions

Safety distance (S)

When planning the installation height
of your cooker hood, the minimum
safety distance between the top of a
cooker or hob and the bottom of the
cooker hood are as follows, unless a
greater distance is specified by the
manufacturer of your cooking
appliance:
450 mm (GB), 600 mm (AU, NZ)
above electric hobs and cookers,
650 mm above an open grill or deep
fat fryer,
650 mm above gas hobs and
cookers.
If this cooker hood is installed above
a Miele Wok CS 1028 CombiSet
appliance, a minimum safety
distance of 760 mm must be
maintained between the burner and
the lower edge of the cooker hood.
See "Warning and Safety" instructions
for further information.

– When deciding on the safety
distance, please note that 650 mm
may be preferable above electric
cookers/hobs to give more working
space.
– Account should also be taken of the
height of the person who will be
using the hood most often. They
should have sufficient space to work
comfortably at the hob, and be able
to reach the hood controls with ease.
– If positioned too high, extraction will
be inefficient.
– The height of the cooking appliance
below must be taken into account
when planning the installation height
of the cooker hood.
