Miele DA251-4 - Manual (Page 29)

1) and 2) Cut out area in wall or
ceiling for entrance of 6"
(150 mm) ductwork or 5"
(125 mm) ductwork with a reducing
collar.
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
make sure that the remaining
distance to the ceiling is not greater
or less than appliance height (
H ).
If the standard unit height H is not
suitable for the kitchen’s ceiling height,
longer optional chimney extensions are
available from your Miele dealer or
Miele’s Technical Service Department.
