Air extraction

,WARNING

Danger of toxic fumes.

Gas cooking appliances release carbon monoxide that can be harmful or fatal if inhaled.

The exhaust gases extracted by the hood should be vented outside of the building only.

Do not terminate the exhaust ducts in attics, garages, crawlspaces, etc.

To reduce the risk of fire, only use metal ductwork.

Please read and follow the

"IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS" to reduce the risk of personal injury. Follow all local building codes when installing the hood.

Exhaust ducting and connections

The ducting should be as short and straight as possible, and the number of sharp bends should be minimized.

For most efficient air extraction, the diameter of the ductwork should not be less than 6" (150 mm). Use of flat ducts also reduces the air extraction efficiency.

Noise levels of the hood will increase if flat ducts or round ducts of less than 6" (150 mm) in diameter are used.

Use smooth or flexible pipes made from approved non-flammable materials for exhaust ducting.

Where the ductwork is horizontal, it

must slope away from the hood at least 1/8" per foot (1 cm per meter) to prevent condensation dripping into the appliance.

If the exhaust is ducted through an outside wall, a Miele Telescopic Wall Vent can be used.
