Miele DA 8-2 - Manual (Page 7)

Warning and safety instructions
Never leave the unit unattended
when cooking with oil or fat. Very
hot oil can ignite and damage the ex-
tractor.
Try to prevent drops of soup,
sauce, etc., or residues from the
grease filter from finding their way into
the interior of the appliance.
Should this occur however, cleaning
should only be performed by the Miele
Service Department, since the fan cas-
ing will have to be taken completely
apart.
Do not use the extractor without
the grease filter in place.
Clean the grease filter regularly. An
over-greasy filter is a fire hazard.
Do not use a steam-cleaner to
clean the extractor.
The steam could penetrate to electrical
components and cause a short circuit.
For the installer and electrician
Ensure that the electrical connec-
tion in the house and the details on
the data plate correspond.
Do not install the extractor beside
appliances burning solid fuel.
All ducting, pipework and fittings
must be of non-flammable material.
The appliance must not be con-
nected to a chimney or vent flue.
Neither should it be connected to duct-
ing which ventilates rooms with fire-
places.
If exhaust air is to be vented into a
chimney or ventilation duct no
longer serving other purposes, seek
professional advice.
Ensure there is sufficient ventilation
in the room when the extractor is in
operation.
When using the extractor at the same
time as other heating appliances which
depend on the air in the room (e.g.
gas, oil or coal fired heaters, con-
tinuous flow or other water heater, gas
cooktop or gas oven), make certain
that ventillation is adequate as the ex-
tractor will remove air from the room,
which these heaters need for combus-
tion.
In order to ensure safe operation, and
to prevent the exhaust gases of the
heating appliances from being drawn
into the room when the extractor and
heater are in operation simultaneously,
an underpressure of 0.06 psi (4pa) is
the maximum permissible in the room.
Ventilation can be maintained by air in-
lets in windows, doors and outside
walls, or by other means, such as en-
suring that the extractor can only be
turned on when the heating appliance
is off and vice-versa.
Keep these operating instructions in
a safe place for future reference and
pass them on to future owners if ap-
plicable.
