Miele KM 452 - Manual (Page 5)

This equipment has not been
designed for maritime use or for
use in mobile installations such as
aircraft or recreational vehicles.
However, under certain circumstances
it may be possible for an installation in
these applications. Please contact the
nearest Miele Dealer or Technical
Service Department with specific
requirements.
Because of the heat radiated
downwards from this type of
appliance we do not recommend
installing it over a drawer. It should be
installed in a cabinet base unit with a
dummy drawer front and an additional
protective barrier beneath the unit..
If, in spite of this, there is a drawer
directly underneath the cooktop, do not
store aerosols, combustible liquids or
easily flammable materials in it. If
cutlery inserts are placed in the drawer,
they must be heat resistant.
The cooktop must not be installed
over a dishwasher, washer, dryer,
refrigerator or freezer. The high
temperatures radiating downwards from
this type of cooktop could damage
these appliances.
Make sure that the power cord to
the cooktop does not come in
contact with any mechanical parts once
the cooktop has been installed.
Safety distances above the
appliance
Maintain a safety distance of at least
30" (760 mm),
b, between the
appliance and any flammable objects
above, e.g. cabinetry, venting hood or
utensil rail. The minimum distance of
combustible surfaces located above
and to the side of the cooktop,
c, is 18"
(457 mm).
If the manufacturer of these items
states a different figure, follow that
manufacturer’s recommendation..
If more than one appliance is
installed beneath a venting hood,
and they have different minimum
safety distances to the hood, adhere
to the greater safety distance.
