Proper installation

To determine whether a cooker hood may be operated above your
cooking appliance, please refer to the information provided by the
appliance's manufacturer.

Safety regulations prohibit the fitting of a cooker hood over solid
fuel stoves.

Safety regulations prohibit the fitting of a cooker hood over a gas
hob.

An insufficient safety distance between the hob and the cooker
hood can result in damage to the cooker hood.
The minimum safety distances between the top of the hob and the
bottom of the cooker hood given in the "Installation" section of this
manual must be observed, unless the hob manufacturer states that a
greater safety distance is required.
If more than one cooking appliance is fitted beneath the cooker
hood, and they have different minimum safety distances to the
cooker hood, select the greater distance.

The information provided in "Installation" must be observed when
fixing the ventilation hood.

Components can have sharp edges which may cause injury.
Wear gloves to protect your hands from being cut.

Exhaust ducting must be of non-inflammable material. Suitable
material is available from Miele specialist dealers or the Miele Spares
Dept.

The appliance must not be connected to a chimney or flue which
is in use. Neither should it be connected to ducting which ventilates
rooms with fireplaces.

If exhaust air is to be extracted into a chimney or ventilation duct
no longer used for other purposes, seek professional advice.
