Installation Recommendations; Connection For Air Extraction - Miele DA 2450 Operating And Installation Instructions

Installation

Installation recommendations

– To achieve optimum vapour
extraction, the rangehood must be
positioned centrally over the cooktop,
not to the side.
– The installation area must be easily
accessible. The rangehood should be
easily accessible and easy to
dismantle in the event that service is
required. This should be taken into
consideration when planning the
position of cupboards, shelves,
ceilings or features in the vicinity of
the rangehood.

Connection for air extraction


Before installation, it is important
to read the information given on the
following pages as well as the
"Appliance dimensions" and the
"Warning and Safety instructions" at
the beginning of this booklet. This is
particularly crucial when using the
rangehood at the same time as a
heating appliance that relies on
oxygen from the same room, which
could result in the build-up of toxic
fumes.
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
ducting made from approved non-
flammable materials for exhaust
ducting.

To achieve the greatest possible air
extraction with the lowest noise level,
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 ducting must not be
kinked or compressed.
– Ensure that all connections are
strong and airtight.
Remember that any constriction of
the airflow will reduce extraction
performance and increase operating
noise.
 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.
