Miele DA 220-3, Operating And Installation Instructions

Page: 29 / 32

Danger of toxic fumes.
Gas cooking appliances release
carbon monoxide that can be
harmful or fatal if inhaled.
The
exhaust gases extracted by the
hood should be vented outside of
the building only.
Do not terminate the exhaust
ducts in attics, garages,
crawlspaces, etc.
Please read and follow the
"Important
Safety Instructions" to reduce the risk
of personal injury. Follow all local
building codes when installing the
hood.
Exhaust ducting and connections
– The ducting should be as short and
straight as possible, and the number
of sharp bends should be minimized.
– For most efficient air extraction, the
diameter of the ductwork should not
be less than 6" (150 mm). Use of flat
ducts also reduces the air extraction
efficiency.
– Noise levels of the hood will increase
if flat or round ducts of less than 6"
(150 mm) in diameter are used.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire only use
metal ductwork.
CAUTION
To reduce the risk of fire and to
properly exhaust air, be sure to duct
air outside. Do not vent exhaust air
into spaces within walls or ceilings
or into attics, crawl spaces, or
garages.
– Use smooth or flexible pipes made
from approved non-flammable
materials for exhaust ducting.
– Where the ductwork is horizontal, it
must slope away from the hood at
least
1
/
8
" per foot (1cm per meter) to
prevent condensation dripping into
the appliance.
– If the exhaust is ducted through an
outside wall, a Miele Telescopic Wall
Vent can be used.
