Miele KM421 - Manual (Page 4)

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 the Miele
Technical Service Department with
specific requirements.
Because of the heat radiated 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 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, washing
machine, dryer, refrigerator or freezer.
The high temperatures radiated
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
As a general rule there must be a safety
distance of at least 30" (760 mm),
b,
between the appliance and any
flammable objects above it, 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
recommends a different distance, follow
that manufacturers recommendation.
If more than one appliance is
installed beneath a venting hood,
and they have different minimum
safety distances to the hood, select
the higher safety distance of the two.
