IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over heated surfaces
cabinet storage space above the cooktop should be avoided. If cabinet storage is necessary, the risk can be reduced by installing a venting hood to project horizontally a minimum of 5" beyond the bottom of the cabinets.
Because of the heat radiated it is not recommended to install the
cooktop above a drawer. It should be installed above a cabinet base unit with a dummy drawer front. A protective base should also be installed between the dummy drawer and the cooktop.
This appliance has not been designed for maritime use or for
use in mobile installations such as recreational vehicles or aircraft. However, under certain conditions it may be possible for installation in these applications. Please contact the Miele Technical Service Department with specific requirements.
The cooktop must not be permanently sealed into the
countertop when installed. The sealing strip under the edge of the cooktop provides a sufficient seal for the countertop. See "Sealing".
Safety distances above the appliance
As a general rule there must be a safety distance of at least 30" (760 mm) between the appliance and any objects above it, e.g. cabinetry, venting hood, etc. If the manufacturer of these items states a different figure, always adhere to the greater distance. Their measurements should be given in their operating and installation instructions.
If there is more than one appliance beneath a hood, e.g. wok burner and electric cooktop, and they have different minimum safety distances always select the greater distance.
