Warning and Safety instructions
9
Overheated oil and fat can ignite, causing fire damage to the
cooker hood.
When cooking with oil or fat, chip pans and deep fat fryers, etc, do
not leave the pans unattended. Similarly, never leave an open grill
unattended when grilling.
Do not use the cooker hood without the filters in place. This way
you will avoid the risk of grease and dirt getting into the appliance
and hindering its smooth operation.
The cooker hood can get very hot during cooking due to heat rising
from the hob.
Do not touch the housing or the grease filters until the cooker hood
has cooled down.
This cooker hood is not suitable for placing objects on.
Proper installation
To determine whether a cooker hood may be operated above your
cooking appliance, please refer to the information provided by the
appliance’s manufacturer.
Safety regulations prohibit the fitting of a cooker hood over solid
fuel stoves.
An insufficient safety distance between the hob and the cooker
hood can result in damage to the cooker hood.
The minimum safety distances between the top of the hob and the
bottom of the cooker hood given in the “Installation” section of this
manual must be observed, unless the hob manufacturer states that a
greater safety distance is required.
If more than one cooking appliance is fitted beneath the cooker hood,
and they have different minimum safety distances to the cooker
hood, select the greater distance.
The information provided in “Installation” must be observed when
fixing the ventilation hood.
Components can have sharp edges which may cause injury.
Wear gloves to protect your hands from being cut.
Exhaust ducting must be of non-inflammable material. Suitable
material is available from Miele specialist dealers or the Miele Spares
Dept.
The appliance must not be connected to a chimney or flue which is
in use. Neither should it be connected to ducting which ventilates
rooms with fireplaces.
