Our new Miele 24” Built–In Wall Cabinet Hood by husband Pieter

 Okay, on December 9, 1998 Pieter started taking out the old Whirlpool hood and now preparing to build in the new Miele 24" Built–In Wall Cabinet Hood.
A very sleek model...
As Pieter states in the beginning—still a lot of headache for getting it built in...
But one day later, he used boxes as a support to prop up this rather heavy piece of appliance.
The shipping weight is 12.5 kg or 27.6 lbs.
The exhaust ring was too wide so Pieter solved that by placing a wooden ring inside.
Later he had to take that wooden ring out again and use one from foam because this Miele comes a bit more to the front with its exhaust pipe.
On the 15th it is all DONE!
I was done cleaning the kitchen a little past midnight and used the video for showing that to Mom & Dad...
Video shows summer time!
My Rado watch shows correct winter time...
Light shuts off when pushed inside.
Such a sleek model!
Pieter did an excellent job making it perfectly flush!
Stainless steel filters that can be taken out to place inside dishwasher

Happy with this mega task being done and what a perfect appliance!
Indeed top quality made in Germany and a big help in saving energy.

Stay tuned for more...

      Thank you and you bet I am proud of him!
      That's the main reason I publish this—now he can still see it and relive those times.

    Ik vrees dat ik ook binnenkort aan een nieuwe afzuigkap toe ben.

  8. Hi, Mariette and Pieter!
    I can't imagine how Pieter did ALL that! It pays to learn and work hard and in the end, enjoy the fruits of your hard labor!
    :)
    And it also pays to invest in quality appliances and clothes. Hum... I wonder with whom I learn that?! ;)

    1. Dearest Paula,
      It has been indeed very hard work over the years—done by Pieter himself.
      Saving money and often also getting a better quality job done!
      Till today, we still enjoy the daily use of all that and we hope it will last our lifetime.
      Well, it often is that way that you forget about the (higher) price but you never forget the higher quality that will last.
      Hugs,
      Pieter & Mariette

    2. I couldn't agree more. It always pays off to go for the best quality one can afford.
      Lots of hugs!
      :)
