Distance between cooktop and
hood (S)
Do not install this exhaust hood over
cooktops burning solid fuel.
Provided a larger distance is not
given by the manufacturer of the
cooktop, follow the minimum safety
distances between a cooktop and
the bottom of the hood:
Miele cooktops:
- 24" (610 mm) above electric
surfaces,
- 26" (660 mm) above electric
grill/boiler/fryers,
- 24" (610 mm) above gas surfaces
ß 25,000 BTU's (7.5 kW) and no
burner greater than 10,250 BTU's
(3 kW) ,
- 30" (762 mm) above gas surfaces
> 25,000 BTU's (7.5 kW),
- 30" (762 mm) above burner heads
> 10,250 BTU's (3 kW). For
example, a Wok used seperately
or in combination with a cooktop.
Non-Miele cooktops:
- 24" (610 mm) above all electric
surfaces,
- 30" (762 mm) above all gas
surfaces,
- 26" (660 mm) above electric
grill/boiler/fryers.
If several gas surfaces are installed
under the hood, the total output must
be considered when determining the
minimum safety distance.
Appliance dimensions
Be sure to follow the minimum safety
distances given by the gas cooktop
manufacturer to easily flammable
materials e.g. upper cabinets.
If local building codes require a
greater safety distance, follow their
requirement.
If there is more than one appliance
beneath the hood and they have
different minimum safety distances
always select the greater distance.
See "Important Safety Instructions"
for further information.
Cut out area in wall or ceiling for
entrance of 6" (150 mm)
ductwork or 5" (125 mm)
ductwork with a reducing collar.
The installation procedure differs
depending on the model and venting
method.
Before beginning the installation:
^ Read all instructions.
^ Determine height (S), regarding the
user's body height, i.e. a comfortable
height for the user.
However, the greater the distance the
less effectively cooking odors are
drawn in.
^ If the hood is fitted flush to the
ceiling, regard the possible unit
height when selecting the installation
height.
