IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Note to the installer: Please leave this instruction book with the consumer for the local electrical inspector’s use.
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.
The cabinetry and venting hood should be installed first to prevent damage to the cooktop.
The countertop must be bonded with heat resistant (212 °F /100 °C)
adhesive to prevent distortion.
recommended
2 ” 50mm
The cooktop can only be installed
as shown in the illustrations, while maintaining the required safety distances shown. Do not install the cooktop between 2 tall cabinets, this is a fire hazard.
a A minimum distance of 2" (50 mm) from the cooktop to the rear wall and a side wall must be maintained for safety.
To eliminate the risk of burns or fire
by reaching over heated surfaces, cabinet storage space above the cooktop should be avoided. If cabinet storage is necessary, the risk can be reduced by installing a venting hood to project horizontally a minimum of 5" (127 mm) beyond the bottom of the cabinets.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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 the nearest Miele Dealer or Technical Service Department with specific requirements.
Because of the heat radiated
downwards from this type of appliance we do not recommend installing it over a drawer. It should be installed in a cabinet base unit with a dummy drawer front and an additional protective barrier beneath the unit.. If, in spite of this, there is a drawer directly underneath the cooktop, do not store aerosols, combustible liquids or easily flammable materials in it. If cutlery inserts are placed in the drawer, they must be heat resistant.
The cooktop must not be installed
over a dishwasher, washer, dryer, refrigerator or freezer. The high temperatures radiating downwards from this type of cooktop could damage these appliances.
Make sure that the power cord to
the cooktop does not come in contact with any mechanical parts once the cooktop has been installed.
Safety distances above the appliance
Maintain a safety distance of at least 30" (760 mm), b, between the appliance and any flammable objects above, e.g. cabinetry, venting hood or utensil rail. The minimum distance of combustible surfaces located above and to the side of the cooktop, c, is 18" (457 mm).
If the manufacturer of these items states a different figure, follow that manufacturer’s recommendation..
If more than one appliance is installed beneath a venting hood, and they have different minimum safety distances to the hood, adhere to the greater safety distance.

Appliance and cut-out dimensions
KM 452
a Spring clips
^
Make the countertop cut-out following the dimensions given in the illustration.
^

b There must be at least 3
3
/16" (81mm) of usable depth on the right side of the cut out.
^
Seal the cut surfaces with a suitable sealant to avoid swelling caused by moisture. The materials used must be heat resistant.
If, during installation, the seal around the frame does not sit flush with the countertop on the corners, the corner radius max. R4 (
3
/16") can be
carefully filed down to fit.

Installation
Installing the cooktop
Feed the power cord down through
^
the cut-out and connect the appliance to the power supply.
^ Position the cooktop on the spring
clips, a.
^ Then with a hand on each side of the
cooktop press down on the edges evenly until it clicks into position. When doing so make sure that the cooktop seal sits tightly on the countertop to ensure a correct seal is provided. The cooktop can now only be removed with a special tool.
The cooktop must not be permanently sealed into the countertop when installed. The sealing strip under the edge of the cooktop provides a sufficient seal for the countertop.
If the cooktop is sealed into position, the countertop or appliance could be damaged if the cooktop needs to be removed for maintenance or service.
