Air extraction
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.
–The extraction 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 5" (125 mm).
Noise levels of the hood will increase if flat ducts or round ducts of less than 5" (125 mm) in diameter are used.
Only reduce the diameter of the ducting if absolutely necessary, e.g. where narrower ducting has already been installed.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, only use metal ductwork.
CAUTION
To reduce risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be sure to duct air outside. Do not vent exhaust air into spaces within walls or ceilings or into attics, crawl spaces, or garages.
–Only use wide radius bends. Tight bends reduce the air flow of the hood.
–Use smooth or flexible pipes made from approved
–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.
–If the exhaust is ducted into an inactive flue, the air must be expelled parallel to the flow direction of the flue.
