Using at the same time as other heating appliances that depend on the air from the room Warning - danger of toxic fumes ~ For appliances with an external fan motor fitted (...
Warning and Safety instructions In order to ensure safe operation, and to prevent gases given off by the heating appliances from being drawn back into the room when the rangehood and the heater are in operation simultaneously, an underpressure of 0.04 mbar (4 pa) is the maximum permissible in the room.
Warning and Safety instructions Correct use ~ Never use an open flame beneath the rangehood. To avoid the danger of fire, do not flambé or grill over an open flame. When switched on, the rangehood could draw flames into the filter. Fat particles drawn into the rangehood present a fire hazard. ~ Do not use the rangehood without the filters in place. This way you will avoid the risk of grease and dirt getting into the appliance and hindering its smooth operation.
Warning and Safety instructions ~ Safety regulations prohibit the fitting of a rangehood over solid fuel stoves. ~ All ducting, pipework and fittings must be of non-flammable material. These can be obtained from Miele or from builders' merchants. ~ The appliance must not be connected to a chimney or vent flue which is in use. Neither should it be connected to ducting which ventilates rooms with fireplaces.
Modes of operation The rangehood works with . . . air recirculation: . . . air extraction: The air is drawn in and cleaned by the stainless steel outer filter and the grease filter, and then directed outside. If the on-site ventilation system does not have a non-return flap, then the non-return flap supplied with the appliance must be fitted Having a non-return flap fitted in the ducting ensures that air, once ducted to the outside, cannot get back into the room again.
