Miele KM 406 Installation Instructions Manual page 4

The minimum distances given in
these Installation Instructions must
be observed in order to ensure safe
operation. Failure to do so increases
the risk of fire.
To prevent damage to the cooktop,
the cabinetry and venting hood
should be installed first.
Gas appliances should only be
installed in a well ventilated area.
The countertop must be bonded
with heat resistant (212 °F/100 °C)
adhesive to prevent distortion or
dissolving.
The cooktops should only be
installed as shown in the
illustrations, while maintaining the
required safety distances shown. Do
not install the cooktop between 2 tall
cabinets as this is a fire hazard.
a = minimum safety distance
KM 404 = 10" (250 mm)
KM 406 = 10" (250 mm)
Deep fryers must not be installed
next to gas cooktops. Gas flames
can ignite splattering oil. A distance of
at least 12" (305 mm) should be
maintained between these two
appliances.
