Miele KM 452 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, install cabinetry
and the venting hood before install-
ing the cooktop.
The countertop must be bonded
with heat resistant (212 °F /100 °C)
adhesive to prevent distortion.
The cooktop can 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 distance of 2" (50 mm)
from the cooktop to the rear wall and
a side wall must be maintained for
safety.
To eliminate the risk of burns or fire
by reaching over heated surfaces,
cabinet storage space above the
cooktop should be avoided. If cabinet
storage is necessary, the risk can be
reduced by installing a venting hood to
project horizontally a minimum of 5"
(127mm) beyond the bottom of the
cabinets.
