Air Venting - Miele DAR 1**0 Operating And Installation Instructions

Air venting

WARNING: Danger of toxic fumes.
Gas cooking appliances release
carbon monoxide that can be
harmful or fatal if inhaled.
To reduce the risk of fire and to
properly exhaust air, the exhaust
gases extracted by the hood should
be vented outside of the building
only.
Do not vent exhaust air into spaces
within walls or ceilings or in attics,
crawl spaces or garages.
To reduce the risk of fire, only use
metal ductwork.
Please read and follow the
"IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS" to reduce the risk
of personal injury. Follow all local
building codes when installing the
hood.
The exhaust air adapter of the
ventilation hood depends on the blower
used:
– DRIB/DREB XL: 8" (203 mm)
– DRIB/DREB XXL: 10" (254 mm)
34
Only use smooth pipes or flexible
duct hoses made from non-
combustible materials for exhaust
duct.
To achieve the greatest possible air
extraction with the lowest noise levels,
please observe the following:
– The cross-section of the exhaust
duct must not be smaller than the
cross-section of the vent collar (see
appliance dimensions).
– The exhaust duct should be as short
and straight as possible.
– If elbows are needed, make sure they
have a large radius.
– The exhaust duct must not be kinked
or compressed. When selecting the
exhaust duct, ensure that it is rigid
enough to retain its shape during
operation.
– Make sure that all connections are
secure and airtight.
Any constriction of the airflow will
reduce extraction performance and
increase operating noise.
 If the exhaust air is to be ducted into
a flue, the duct must be directed in
the flow direction of the flue.
