IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Installation

The minimum distances given in these Installation Instructions must be observed in order to ensure safe operation. Failure to do so increases the risk of fire.

To prevent damage to the cooktop, the cabinetry and venting hood should be installed first.

recommended

Gas appliances should only be installed in a well ventilated area.

The countertop must be bonded

with heat resistant (212 °F/100 °C) adhesive to prevent distortion or dissolving.

The cooktops should only be

installed as shown in the illustrations, while maintaining the required safety distances shown. Do not install the cooktop between 2 tall cabinets as this is a fire hazard.

not recommended

a = minimum safety distance

KM 404 = 10" (250 mm) KM 406 = 10" (250 mm)

Deep fryers must not be installed

next to gas cooktops. Gas flames can ignite splattering oil. A distance of at least 12" (305 mm) should be maintained between these two appliances.

not allowed

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Cooktops should not be installed

above a dishwasher, washer, dryer, freezer or refrigerator. The heat generated by cooktops could damage these appliances.

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 a Miele Dealer or Miele’s Technical Service Department with specific requirements.

This appliance must be installed with its own shut off valve and gas pressure regulator. Both the valve and the regulator must be easily accessible to the consumer after the appliance is installed.

This appliance must be disconnected from the gas supply during any pressure testing of that system performed in excess of (3.5 kPa), or isolated at test pressures equal to or less than (3.5 kPa).

psi

Safety distance above the cooktop

There must be a minimum safety distance of at least 30 inches (760 mm) between the top of the cooktop and any cabinet above it, b. The overhead cabinet depth, if unprotected, must not exceed 13 inches. If the cabinet manufacturer recommends a different distance, follow that manufacturer’s recommendation.

When installing the cooktop under a venting hood, always observe the minimum distances recommended by the hood manufacturer.

Any pipe connections must be made using a thread sealant approved for gas connections. Failure to correctly install these items could lead to a gas leak and subsequent explosion.

Keep this instruction book in a safe place and pass it on to any future owner.

Countertop cut-out

Installing one or multiple appliances:

Cut out the countertop using the dimensions listed in the following table.

All Miele combisets have the same length and width. Make sure that there is enough room under the countertop to allow for the depth of the various appliances. Remember to allow clearance for the gas regulator and gas pipe that must be connected to the appliance.

The following distances must be maintained for safety:

– Between the cooktop and rear wall:

2" (50 mm)

–

Between the cooktop and side wall or cabinet: 10" (250 mm)

Refer to section "IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS" for further installation information.

7 7813/16" (2002 mm)

The tolerance for each dimension is

/16" (1 mm).

When installing more than one combiset cooktop, a support bar must be installed between the appliances. Install the support bars as shown in the relevant section before setting the appliances into the countertop.

The illustration shows the layout for 3 combisets, their respective support bars, b, and the support brackets, a, required for their correct installation.

If more than 3 combisets are being installed, add an additional 11 (290 mm) to the overall length of the cut out for each additional combiset, or use the table on the preceding page.
