Miele DA 396-7 Operating And Installation Instructions page 11


Do not use the rangehood without the filters in place. This way
you will avoid the risk of grease and dirt getting into the appliance
and hindering its smooth operation.

The rangehood can get very hot during cooking due to heat rising
from the cooktop.
Do not touch the housing or the grease filters until the rangehood
has cooled down.
Correct installation

Refer to the cooktop manufacturer's instructions as to whether a
rangehood may be operated above the cooktop.

Safety regulations prohibit the fitting of a rangehood over solid
fuel stoves.

An insufficient safety distance between the stovetop and the
rangehood can result in damage to the rangehood.
The minimum safety distances between the top of the stovetop and
the bottom of the rangehood given in the "Installation" section of this
booklet must be observed, unless the stovetop manufacturer states
that a greater safety distance is required.
If more than one cooking appliance is fitted beneath the rangehood,
and they have different minimum safety distances to the rangehood,
select the greater distance.

The distances given in "Installation" must be observed when
fitting the rangehood.

Metal parts can have sharp edges which may cause injury.
Wear gloves to protect your hands from being cut.

All ducting, pipework and fittings must be of non-flammable
material. These can be obtained from builders' merchants.

The appliance must not be connected to a chimney or vent flue
which is in current use for exhausting fumes from appliances burning
gas or other fuels. Neither should it be connected to ducting which
ventilates rooms with fireplaces.
