cooking surface and the bottom of
the hood is:
- 22" (55 cm) above electric cooktops

- 26" (65 cm) above an open grill
For non-Miele cooking appliances
maintain the safety distances recom
-
mended by the cooktop manufac-
turer in their installation and operat-
ing instructions.
If there is more than one appliance
beneath the hood and they have dif-
ferent minimum safety distances al-
ways select the greater distance.
See "Warning and Safety instruc-
tions" for further information.
26" (65 cm) is recommended for all in

to the ceiling is not greater or less than
