Installation
Condensation
If the exhaust ducting is to run through
cool rooms or ceiling space, for ex-
ample, the significant variations in tem-
perature between the different areas
can cause condensation to form. Insu-
late the exhaust ducting to reduce tem-
perature variations.
If the exhaust ducting is to be laid hori-
zontally, it must be laid with a down-
wards sloping gradient of at least 1 cm
per meter. This is to ensure that con-
densation cannot drain back into the
cooker hood.
In addition to insulating the exhaust
ducting, it is advisable to also install a
condensate trap for collecting and
evaporating any potential condensation.
Condensate traps for 125 mm or
150 mm diameter exhaust ducting are
available as optional accessories.
When installing a condensate trap, en-
sure that it is positioned vertically and
as closely as possible to the cooker
28
hood above the exhaust connection.
The arrow on the casing indicates the
direction of airflow.
Miele shall not accept warranty claims
for any functional defects or damage
caused by inadequate exhaust duct-
ing.
Silencer
To reduce noise levels even further, a si-
lencer (optional accessory) can be in-
stalled in the exhaust ducting.
In extraction mode, the silencer not only
reduces noise from the fan outside the
house, but also sounds originating out-
side reaching the kitchen through the
exhaust ducting (e.g. traffic noise). For
this reason, the silencer must be posi-
tioned as close as possible to the duct-
ing exit .
