Page: 7 / 40

Installation
Follow the manufacturer’s
instructions for your cooking
appliance concerning the use of a
cooker hood over the particular
appliance.
Safety regulations prohibit the
fitting 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
builders’ merchants.
The appliance must not be
connected 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.
Safety distance between cooking
appliance and cooker hood
The minimum safety distances
between the top of a cooker or hob
and the bottom of the cooker hood are
as follows, unless a greater distance is
specified by the manufacturer of your
cooking appliance:
- 450 mm above electric hobs and
cookers,
- 650 mm above gas hobs and cookers,
- 650 mm above an open grill or deep
fat fryer.
If more than one appliance is fitted
beneath the cooker hood, and they
have different minimum safety
distances to the cooker hood, select
the greater distance.
Follow the cooker or hob
manufacturer’s instructions on the use
of flammable materials over the
cooker/hob when installing a wood or
laminate lightshield onto the cooker
hood.
