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

Safety distance (S)

When planning the installation height
of your rangehood, the minimum
safety distance between the top of a
cooker or cooktop and the bottom of
the rangehood are as follows, unless
a greater distance is specified by
the manufacturer of your cooking
appliance:
600 mm above electric cooktops
650 mm above an open grill or deep
fat fryer,
650 mm above gas cooktops.
If this rangehood 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 rangehood.
See "Warning and Safety" instructions
for further information.
Appliance dimensions
– When deciding on the safety
distance, please note that 650 mm
may be preferable above electric
cooktops to give more working space.
– Account should also be taken of the
height of the person who will be
using the rangehood most often.
They should have sufficient space to
work comfortably at the cooktop, and
be able to reach the rangehood
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 rangehood.
