Silencer - for greater peace and quiet
Many Miele rangehoods have highly
efficient sound proofing features as
standard which make them very quiet
when operating. However, should you
wish to have an even quieter working
environment, fitting a Miele DASD 150
silencer, available as an optional
accessory, will reduce noise levels by up
to 4.5 dB(A) re1pW.
It can be fitted in a variety of positions and
is suitable for use with a range of
extraction as well as recirculation mode
rangehoods.
Wall vent kit
A wall vent kit can be installed in an
outside wall so that the exhaust air can be
ducted to the outside. Thermal bridges
may occur in conventional wall vents,
causing energy losses; for example, in
winter cold air can enter the ventilation
system.
Miele wall vents feature a tight-sealing
non-return baffle with a magnetic catch
preventing cold or warm air from entering
the building, thus saving energy. It also
keeps out foreign objects such as leaves,
debris, etc. The vent's grille is designed to
minimise airflow losses and guide exhaust
air away from the house wall to prevent
any accumulation of debris.
Roof vent
If the extracted air is to be vented into the
atmosphere through the roof, a roof vent
kit is required. Miele's kits are suitable for
use with all roof pitches from 22° and all
types of roof tiles. The high quality
stainless steel housing is secured with
weatherproof lead flashing.
Ventilation ducting
Extraction ducting transports odours,
moisture and heat outside the house to
the atmosphere. The extraction
performance and noise levels of the
rangehood depend greatly on the
geometry and properties of the ducting
system. Smooth round ducting or special
flat ducting, where the diameter is not
reduced, are most suitable. In general,
Miele recommends a ducting diameter
of 150 mm. For rangehoods with higher
extraction rates, a ducting diameter of
200 mm is also an option. Miele offers
flexible aluminium ducting with shallow
corrugation, which reduces air friction.
