Miele KM 344 - Manual (Page 4)

Installation
The minimum distances given in
these Installation Instructions must
be observed in order to ensure safe
operation. Failure to do so increases
the risk of fire.
The countertop must be bonded
with heat resistant (212 °F/100 °C)
adhesive to prevent distortion or dis-
solving.
Deep fat fryers must not be in-
stalled next to gas cooktops. Gas
flames can ignite splattering oil. A dis-
tance of at least 12" (305 mm) should
be maintained between these two ap-
pliances. The mimimum distance be-
tween two cooktops must be 4"
(10 cm).
The cooktops should only be in-
stalled as shown in Figs. 1 & 2,
while maintaining the required safety
distances shown. Do not install the
cooktop between two tall cabinets as
this is a fire hazard.
a = minimum distance between
cooktop and a tall cabinet:
12" (300 mm)
Cooktops should not be installed
above a dishwasher, washer, dryer,
freezer or refrigerator. The heat gener-
ated by cooktops could damage these
appliances.
