IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

d) Before connecting the appliance

~

to the power supply make sure that the
voltage and frequency listed on the
data plate correspond with the
household electrical supply.
This data must correspond to prevent
appliance damage. If in doubt consult a
qualified electrician.

e) Installation work and repairs

~

cause operation faults.

g) Before discarding an old

~

appliance, disconnect it from the power
supply and remove the power cord to
prevent hazards.

Installation

,WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR
INJURY TO PERSONS,
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

a) Installation work and electrical

~

wiring must be done by qualified
person(s) in accordance with all
applicable codes and standards,
including fire-rated construction.

b) Sufficient air is needed for

~

combustion and exhausting of gases
through the flue (chimney) of fuel
burning equipment to prevent back
drafting. Follow the heating equipment
manufacturer’s guideline and safety
standards such as those published by
the National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA) and the American Society for
Heating, Refrigeration and Air
Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and
the local code authorities.

c) When cutting or drilling into the

~

wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical
wiring and other hidden utilities.

Use

Do not use a steam cleaner to clean

~

the appliance. Steam could penetrate
electrical components and cause a
short circuit.

d) Ducted hoods must always be

~

vented to the outdoors.

e) Any fittings, sealant, or materials

~

used to install the ductwork must be
made of approved non-flammable
materials.

,WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
FIRE USE ONLY METAL
DUCTWORK.

Functional description

The external blower should only be
used in combination with Miele
ventilation systems DA 6480 or
DA 6490.

It must be mounted outside the kitchen
on an external wall or on the roof.

The external blower is connected to the
ventilation system by an exhaust duct
and power cord. It is operated by
means of the ventilation system control
panel.

The external blower is equipped with a
non-return flap so that no exchange of
outside air and room air can occur
when the ventilation system is shut off.

It is closed when the ventilation system
is off.

When the blower is turned on, the
non-return flap opens so that the
exhaust air can be transported outside.

Installation

Preparation

Remove all packaging.

^

Unscrew and remove the six screws

^

on the blower cover.

Unscrew the two screws on the

^

terminal box and remove the cover.
Install a UL/CSA-approved cable
clamp in the power cord
feed-through (strain relief). Locate it
so that it is accessible from the
blower.

Close the terminal box and the

^

replace the blower cover.

Installation on an external wall

Select a suitable installation location.

– Make sure that there are no

supporting elements in the wall at the
selected location. The same applies
for power cords and pipes.

– Install the external blower with the

exhaust outlet facing downwards.

Mount the external blower on the

^

external wall using four suitable
screws.

Seal the screw heads.

^

Installation on a roof

Select a suitable installation location.

The angle of the roof must be at least

–

10°.
For installation on a flat roof, consult
a qualified contractor.

Make sure that there are no

–

supporting elements in the roof at the
installation location. The same
applies for power cords and pipes.

– The exhaust outlet must face down

and away from the main wind
direction.

–

The distance between the exhaust
outlet and the ground must be at
least 24" (61 cm).

^

The external blower must be installed
on a level surface.
If necessary, remove the wall
covering at the installation location.

^

Make an 11" hole (28 cm) for the
exhaust duct and a hole for the
power cord 1 ¼" (3 cm).

^

Apply a sealant along the outside
edge on the rear wall of the blower
housing.

9

Installation

If unsure or unfamiliar with these
installation procedures, please
contact a qualified contractor.

^ Remove the roof shingles at the

installation location. Make the cut
such that the upper and side edges
of the housing frame sit under the
roof covering and the lower edge sits
over the roof covering.

The external blower and the

^

ventilation system are connected by
a 10" (254 mm) exhaust duct C (see
"Air extraction").
Mount the provided connection plate
on the ventilation system (see
installation instructions DA 6480,

6490).

Install a UL/CSA-approved power

^

cord (see "Electrical connection").

^

Make an 11" hole (28 cm) for the
exhaust duct and power cord
feed-through (strain relief) 1 ¼"
(3 cm).

^

Fasten the external blower with four
suitable screws.

^

Seal the screw heads.

^

Seal the roof covering all the way
around the housing.

WARNING

,

Danger of toxic fumes.

Air extraction

Exhaust ducting and connections

The ducting should be as short and

–

straight as possible, and the number
of sharp bends should be minimized.

Gas cooking appliances release
carbon monoxide that can be
harmful or fatal if inhaled.
To reduce the risk of fire and to
properly exhaust air, the exhaust
gases extracted by the hood
should be vented outside of the
building only.

Do not vent exhaust air into
spaces within walls or ceilings or
in attics, crawl spaces or garages.

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.

For most efficient air extraction, the

–

diameter of the ductwork should not
be less than 10" (254 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 10" (254 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

1

least

/8" per foot (1 cm per meter) to
prevent condensation dripping into
the appliance.

Important

If the ductwork runs through rooms,
ceilings, garages, etc. where
temperature variations exist, it may
need to be insulated to reduce
condensation.

Electrical connection

,WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR
INJURY TO PERSONS,
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

All electrical work should be
performed by a qualified electrician
in strict accordance with national

and local safety regulations.
Installation, repairs and other work
by unqualified persons could be
dangerous.
Ensure that power to the appliance
is off while installation or repair work
is performed.

This external blower may only be
operated with Miele DA 6480 or
DA 6490 ventilation systems.

If there is any question concerning the
electrical connection of this appliance
to your power supply, please consult a
licensed electrician or contact Miele’s
Technical Service Department. See
back cover for contact information.

Important : To increase security
before the machine is installed, it is
recommended to install a protective
switch (30 mA).

Remove the cover from the external

^

blower.

Remove the cover of the terminal

^

box.

Install a suitable UL listed cable

^

clamp or conduit fitting at the power
cord feed-through (strain relief).

^ Install a power cord to the ventilation

system.
Flexible armored or nonmetallic cable
must be used.
Wire sizes must conform to the
requirements of the National
Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70 —
latest edition or Canadian Electrical
Code, C22.1 and C22.2 No.
113-M1984 (or latest edition), and all
local codes and ordinances. 14
gauge wire (minimum) is
