Installation, repair and maintenance work should be performed by
a Miele authorized service technician in accordance with national
and local safety regulations and the provided installation instructions.

The ceiling mounting plate will
support the weight of the hood. This
ceiling plate must be attached to
rigid structural framing that is
supported in its entirety by the
ceiling joists, or to the ceiling joists
directly. Do not attach the plate
directly to the ceiling with anchors,
toggle bolts, etc.

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 there is more than one appliance
beneath the hood and they have
different minimum safety distances
always select the greater distance.
Observe local building codes.
See "Important Safety Instructions"
for further information.
CAUTION:
During the installation process,
please be careful of sharp edges
that can cause harm.

,WARNING
Danger of toxic fumes.
Gas cooking appliances release
carbon monoxide that can be
harmful or fatal if inhaled.
The exhaust gases extracted by
the hood should be vented
outside of the building only.
Do not terminate the exhaust
ducts in attics, garages,
crawlspaces, etc.
To reduce the risk of fire, only use
metal ductwork.
Please read and follow the
"IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS" to reduce the risk of
personal injury. Follow all local building
codes when installing the hood.
Exhaust ducting and connections
– The ducting should be as short and
straight as possible, and the number
of sharp bends should be minimized.
– For most efficient air extraction, the
diameter of the ductwork should not
be less than 6" (150 mm). Use of flat
ducts also reduces the air extraction
efficiency.
– Noise levels of the hood will increase
if flat ducts or round ducts of less
than 6" (150 mm) in diameter are
used.
– Use smooth or flexible pipes made
from approved non-flammable
materials for exhaust ducting.
– Where the ductwork is horizontal, it
must slope away from the hood at
least 1/8" per foot (1 cm per meter) to
prevent condensation dripping into
the appliance.
– If the exhaust is ducted through an
outside wall, a Miele Telescopic Wall
Vent can be used.
Air extraction
29

– If the exhaust is ducted into an
inactive flue, the air must be expelled
parallel to the flow direction of the
flue.
Never connect an exhaust hood to
an active chimney, dryer vent, flue,
or room venting ductwork. Seek
professional advice before
connecting an exhaust hood vent to
an existing, inactive chimney or vent
flue.
Important
If the ductwork runs through rooms,
ceilings, garages, etc. where
temperature variations exist, it may
need to be insulated to reduce
condensation.
Condensate trap
optional accessory
In some cases, a condensate trap may
be required to collect and evaporate
any condensation which may develop.
This optional accessory is available for
ducts 5" (125 mm) and 5 7/8" (150 mm)
in diameter.
^When installing a condensate trap,
ensure that it is positioned vertically
and if possible directly above the
exhaust outlet.
