Miele DAS 4620 Slimline Range Hood
Before installation
Before installation, it is important to read the information given on the
following pages as well as the
“Warning and Safety instructions” at the beginning of this booklet.
Installation recommendations
- To achieve optimum vapour extraction, the cooker hood must be positioned centrally over the hob, not to the side.
- The hob should be no wider than the cooker hood, and if possible, it should be narrower.
- The installation area must be easily accessible. The cooker hood should be easily accessible and easy to dismantle in the event that service is required. This should be taken into consideration when planning the position of cupboards, shelves, ceilings or features in the vicinity of the cooker hood.

Footnotes for diagrams 1 to 3:
- The front section of the cabinet must be fitted with a base panel to secure the cooker hood.
- If a partition wall is to be provided in the cabinet, it must be removable.
- Extraction or recirculation with conversion kit DUU 150
- DML 2000 bracket (optional accessory) for fitting a front panel
- In this installation situation, the deflector plate is flush with the front edge of the housing unit carcase. If you wish to position the cooker hood further forward or further back, you must adapt the dimensions accordingly (e.g. if you are using a front panel).
The height of the cabinet and the cut-out dimensions must take into account any accessories fitted (e.g. silencer, recirculation hood conversion kit)
Safety distance between hob and cooker hood (S)
When planning the installation height of your cooker hood, the minimum safety distance between the top of a cooker or hob and the bottom of the cooker hood is as follows, unless a greater distance is specified by the manufacturer of your cooking appliance.
See “Warning and Safety” instructions for further information.
Cooking appliance| Minimum distance S
Electric hob| 450 mm
Electric grill, deep fat fryer (electric)| 650 mm
Multi-burner gas hob,
total output ≤ 12.6 kW, no burner > 4.5 kW
| 650 mm
Multi-burner gas hob,
total output > 12.6 kW and ≤ 21.6 kW, no burner > 4.8 kW.
| 760 mm
Multi-burner gas hob, total output > 21.6 kW,
or multi-burner gas hob where one burner > 4.8 kW.
| Not possible
Single burner gas hob, output ≤ 6 kW.| 650 mm
Single burner gas hob, output > 6 kW and ≤ 8.1 kW.| 760 mm
Single burner gas hob, output > 8.1 kW| Not possible
If you are fitting a front panel made of wood or plastic to the cooker hood, observe the safety distances given by the hob manufacturer regarding the use of easily flammable materials.
Connection for air extraction
If the cooker hood is used at the same time as a heating appliance that relies on oxygen from the same room, there is a risk in certain circumstances of toxic fumes building up.
It is essential that the “Warning and Safety” instructions are observed.
The cooker hood should be installed according to local and national building
regulations. Seek approval from the building inspector where necessary.
Only use smooth pipes or flexible exhaust ducting made from approved non-
flammable materials for exhaust ducting.
To achieve the most efficient air throughput with the lowest noise levels,
please note the following:
-
The diameter of the exhaust ducting must not be smaller than the cross-section of the exhaust duct (see
“Appliance dimensions”). This applies in particular when using flat ducting. -
The exhaust ducting should be as short and straight as possible.
-
Only use wide radius bends.
-
The exhaust ducting must not be kinked or compressed.
-
All connections must be strong and airtight.
-
If the exhaust ducting has flaps, these must be opened whenever the cooker hood is switched on.
Any constriction of the air throughput will reduce extraction performance and increase operating noise.
Flue
If the exhaust air is to be ducted into a flue, the ducting must be directed
in the flow direction of the flue.
If the flue is used by several ventilation units, the cross-section of the
flue must be large enough.
Non-return flap
- Use a non-return flap in the exhaust system.
A non-return flap ensures that when the cooker hood is not in operation, the
duct is closed to prevent unwanted exchange of room air and outside air.
If the exhaust is ducted through an outside wall, a Miele wall vent or roof
vent (available as an optional accessory) is recommended. Both of these have a
built-in non-return flap.
If the on-site ventilation system does not have a non-return flap, one is
supplied with the cooker hood.
The non-return flap is fitted in the exhaust socket of the fan.
Condensation
If the exhaust ducting is to run through cool rooms or ceiling space, for
example, the significant variations in temperature between the different areas
can cause condensation to form. Insulate the exhaust ducting to reduce
temperature variations.
If the exhaust ducting is to be laid horizontally, it must be laid with a
downwards sloping gradient of at least 1 cm per meter. This is to ensure that
condensation 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, ensure that it is positioned vertically and
as closely as possible to the cooker 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 ducting.
Silencer
To reduce noise levels even further, a silencer (optional accessory) can be installed in the exhaust ducting.
In extraction mode, the silencer not only reduces noise from the fan outside the house, but also sounds originating outside reaching the kitchen through the exhaust ducting (e.g. traffic noise). For this reason, the silencer must be positioned as close as possible to the ducting exit .
In recirculation mode, the silencer needs to be positioned between the exhaust vent and the exhaust grille . Check that there is sufficient space.
Electrical connection
The cooker hood is supplied with a mains cable with moulded plug ready for
connection to a suitable earthed socket.
If the socket is not easily accessible or a fixed connection is envisaged,
ensure that a suitable means of disconnection is provided on the installation
side for each pole.
Risk of fire from overheating. Connecting the cooker hood to multi-socket
adapters or extension cables can overload the cables.
For safety reasons, do not use an extension cable or multi-socket adapter.
The electrical system must comply with local and national safety regulations
(BS 7671 in the UK).
For safety reasons, we recommend using a type residual current device (RCD)
in the relevant electrical installation for connecting the cooker hood.
If the mains connection cable is damaged, it must only be replaced with a
specific mains connection cable of the same type (available from the Miele
Customer Service Department). For safety reasons, such replacement may only be
carried out by a qualified specialist or the Miele Customer Service
Department.
These operating instructions and the data plate indicate the nominal power
consumption and the appropriate fuse rating. Compare this information with the
data of the on-site electrical connection.
If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
Temporary or permanent operation on an autonomous power supply system or a
power supply system that is not synchronised with the mains power supply (e.g.
island networks, back-up systems) is possible. A prerequisite for operation is
that the power supply system complies with the specifications of EN 50160 or
an equivalent standard. The function and operation of the protective measures
provided in the domestic electrical installation and in this Miele product
must also be maintained in isolated operation or in operation that is not
synchronised with the mains power supply, or these measures must be replaced
by equivalent measures in the installation. As described, for example, in the
current version of VDE-AR-E 2510-2.
