However, under certain conditions it may be possible for installation in these applications. Please contact the nearest Miele dealer or the Technical Service Department with specific requirements.

~Before servicing or cleaning the unit, switch power off at the service panel and lock the service disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. If the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.

~Before discarding an old appliance, unplug it from the power supply and remove the power cord and any doors to prevent hazards.

Use

~Do not allow children to play with or operate the appliance or its controls. Supervise its use by the elderly or infirm.

Installation

~, WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire only use metal ductwork.

~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.

~Be careful not to damage hidden electrical wiring or plumbing when cutting or drilling into the wall or ceiling.

~Do not use an extension cord to connect the appliance to electricity. Extension cords do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance, (e.g. danger of overheating).

Air is drawn through the grease filters and active charcoal filters. The cleaned air is then recirculated back into the kitchen through a vent in the hood’s chimney.

Before using the hood make sure the active charcoal filters are in place, see "Cleaning and Care".
