Miele DA 279-4 EN - Manual (Page 31)

Do not install this exhaust hood over
cooktops burning solid fuel.
Provided a larger distance is not
given by the manufacturer of the
cooktop, follow the minimum safety
distances between a cooktop and
the bottom of the hood:
- 22" (550 mm) above electric
cooktops,
- 30" (762 mm) above gas cooktops,
- 26" (650 mm) above an open
electric grill or an open electric
boiler/fryer.
If local building codes require a
greater safety distance, follow their
requirement.
If there is more than one appliance
beneath the hood and they have
different minimum safety distances
always select the greater distance.
See "Important Safety Instructions"
for further information.
Distance between cooktop and
hood (S)
The installation procedure differs
depending on the model and venting
method.
Before beginning the installation:
^ Read all instructions.
^ Determine height (S), regarding the
user’s body height, i.e. a comfortable
height for the user.
However, the greater the distance,
the less effectively cooking odors are
drawn in.
^ If the hood is fitted flush to the
ceiling, regard the possible unit
height when selecting the installation
height.
