Miele DA 249-2, Operating And Installation Instructions

Page: 6 / 36

Under no circumstances use a
steam cleaner to clean this appli-
ance.
Pressurised steam could reach the
electrical components and cause a
short circuit.
Installation
The distance between the top of
the cooker/hob and the bottom of
the cooker hood must measure at least:
– 450 mm above an electric hob or
cooker,
– 650 above a gas hob or cooker,
– 650 mm above an open grill from
our range
For non-Miele cooking appliances
maintain the safety distance as recom-
mended by the manufacturer in their In-
stallation and Operating instructions.
If more than one appliance is fitted be-
neath the cooker hood and they have
different minimum safety distances to
the cooker hood, select the higher dis-
tance.
Safety regulations prohibit the fit-
ting of a cooker hood over solid
fuel stoves.
All ducting, pipework and fittings
must be of non-flammable material.
These can be obtained from the Miele
Spare Parts department or from build-
ers' merchants.
The appliance must not be con-
nected to a chimney or vent 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.
