Miele Installation Guide for Ventilation Hoods: DA 3460, DA 3480, DA 3490

Installation

The DA3460, DA3480 and DA3490 Built-In Ventilation Hoods all include brackets to affix the hood body to the rear wall of the enclosing cabinet. (Fig. 1) These brackets are necessary to ensure the long-term rigidity and stability of the installed appliance. In many cases, we have found that the rear walls of some cabinets are not structurally reliable. This may be due to the materials used, or the thickness of the rear wall.

In this case, to guarantee a solid connection, these brackets must be attached to a structurally sound surface (such as the wall behind the cabinet) to maintain the hood's level attitude (Fig 2). Depending on the cabinet and wall construction, alternative hardware may be required. Please use hardware which is designed to be used for your specific installation application. Failure to do so may cause the hood to lean forward and cause permanent damage to the sliding shelf. This damage is not covered by the warranty!

￿Connect the space bar from the rear with 4 plastic rivets at the hood rear side.

The installation kit DML 400 is necessary. It can be obtained as an optional accessory from Miele. The installation kit has an installation manual supplied.
