Overheated oil and fat can ignite, causing fire damage to theventilation hood.Do not leave cookware, pans, and deep-fat fryers unattended whencooking with oil or fat. Similarly, never leave an open flameunattended when grilling.

Fat and debris deposits impair the proper functioning of theventilation hood.To ensure that cooking vapors are properly cleaned, never use theventilation hood without the grease filters in place.

There is a risk of fire if cleaning is not completed according to theinstructions in this manual.

Please note that the heat rising from the stovetop during cookingcan cause the ventilation hood to become very hot.Do not touch the housing or the grease filters until the ventilationhood has cooled down.


10

Proper installation

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK,OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

- a) Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualifiedperson(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards,including fire-rated construction.

- b) Sufficient air is needed for combustion and exhausting of gasesthrough the flue (chimney of fuel burning equipment to preventback drafting. Follow the heating equipment manufacturer’sguideline and safety standards such as those published by theNational Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and the AmericanSociety for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers(ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.

- c) When cutting or drilling into the wall or ceiling, do not damageelectrical wiring and other hidden utilities.

- d) Ducted hoods must always be vented to the outdoors.

- e) Do not use this hood with any solid-state speed control device.

To determine whether a ventilation hood may be operated aboveyour cooking appliance, please refer to the information provided bythe appliance's manufacturer.

Safety regulations prohibit the installation of a ventilation hoodover solid fuel stoves.

An insufficient safety distance between the cooktop and theventilation hood can result in damage to the ventilation hood.The minimum safety distances between the top of the cooktop andthe bottom of the ventilation hood given in the “Installation” sectionof this manual must be observed, unless the cooktop manufacturerstates that a greater safety distance is required.If more than one cooking appliance is installed beneath theventilation hood, and they have different minimum safety distancesto the ventilation hood, select the greater distance.


11

The information provided in “Installation” must be observed wheninstalling the ventilation hood.

Components can have sharp edges which may cause injury.Wear gloves to protect your hands.

When installing the exhaust duct, only use pipes or tubes made ofnon-flammable material. These can be obtained from your Mieledealer or from Miele Technical Service.

Exhaust air should not be vented into a chimney or vent flue whichis otherwise in use and should not be channeled into ducting whichventilates rooms with fuel-burning installations.

If exhaust air is to be extracted into a chimney or ventilation ductno longer used for other purposes, seek professional advice.

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE USE ONLY METALDUCTWORK.

The following functions are available onyour ventilation hood, depending on themodel:

Extraction mode

The air is drawn in and cleaned by thegrease filters and directed outside.

Recirculation modeThe recirculation mode requires arecirculation kit and OdorFree CharcoalFilter (available as optional accessories,see “Technical Data” for moreinformation)

The air is drawn in and first cleaned bythe grease filters and then by anOdorFree Charcoal Filter. The cleanedair is then recirculated back into thekitchen.

Operation

17

Turning on the blowerSwitch the blower on as soon as youstart cooking. This is to ensure thatvapors are captured right from the start.

Press the On/Off control .

The blower turns on at level 2. The symbol and 2 will light up in the blowerlevel display.

Selecting the power levelPower levels 1 to 3 are available for lightto heavy cooking vapors and odors.

For strong vapors and odors that aretemporarily produced when cooking,e.g., during searing, select the BBooster setting.

Select the power level you want bypressing the or control.

Reducing power down from theBooster setting

If power management is activated(default setting), the blowerautomatically switches back to level 3after 5 minutes.

Delayed shut-down It is advisable to run the blower for a

few minutes after cooking hasfinished.

This helps to neutralize any lingeringvapors and odors in the air.

It also reduces the risk of residuesaccumulating in the ventilation hoodand any resulting odors.

Turning off the blower Press the On/Off control to turn

the blower off.

The symbol will go out.

Turning the overhead lightingon/offThe overhead lighting can be turned onand off separately from the blower.

To do this, press the lightingcontrol .

The symbol will light up when theoverhead lighting is turned on.

Power managementThe ventilation hood is equipped with apower management system. Powermanagement helps to save energy. Itensures that the blower power level isreduced automatically and that thelighting is switched off.

- If the booster level is selected, theblower automatically switches tolevel 3 after 5 minutes.

- If the blower is set to level 3, 2, or 1,it switches back one blower settingafter 2 hours and then in 30-minuteintervals until the blower eventuallyswitches off.

- The overhead lighting will switch offautomatically after 12 hours.

Operation

18

Turning power management on/off

You can deactivate powermanagement.Keep in mind that this may increaseenergy consumption.

To set this option, turn off the fan andthe overhead lighting first.

If the new setting is not confirmedwithin 4 minutes, the ventilation systemreverts to the previous setting.

Safety shut-offIf power management has beendeactivated, the ventilation hood willswitch itself off automatically after12 hours if it has been left on (blowerand overhead lighting).

To switch it back on, press the On/Off control or the lightingcontrol .

Energy-saving tips

19

This hood operates in a very efficientand energy-saving manner. Thefollowing will help you to save evenmore energy when using it:

- Ensure that there is sufficientventilation in the kitchen whencooking. If there is insufficient air flowduring extraction mode, the hoodcannot operate efficiently, causingincreased operating noise levels.

- Always cook with the lowest possiblesetting. This produces fewer cookingvapors so that you can use a lowerhood power level and thereforebenefit from reduced energyconsumption.

- Check the power level selected onthe hood. A lower power level isgenerally sufficient for the majority ofcooking. Only use the booster levelwhen necessary.

- When a large volume of cookingvapors are being produced, switch toa high power level in good time. Thisis more efficient than operating thehood for longer to try to capturecooking vapors that have alreadybeen distributed throughout thekitchen.

- Make sure that you switch off thehood after use.

- Clean or change the filters at regularintervals. Heavily soiled filters reduceperformance, increase the risk of fireand are unhygienic.

Cleaning and care

20

Before proceeding with anymaintenance or cleaning task, theventilation hood must bedisconnected from the power supply,see “IMPORTANT SAFETYINSTRUCTIONS”.

Stainless steel housing

General information

Unsuitable cleaning agents candamage the surfaces and controlelements.Do not use any cleaning agentscontaining soda, acid, chloride, orsolvent.Do not use any abrasive cleaningagents, e.g., powder cleaners orcream cleaners and abrasivesponges, as well as pot scourers orsponges which have been usedpreviously with abrasive cleaningagents

Moisture in the ventilation hoodcan cause damage.Make sure that water does not getinto the ventilation hood.

Clean all surfaces and control buttonsusing a small amount of warm waterand liquid dish soap. Apply with asponge cloth.

After cleaning, wipe the surfaces dryusing a soft cloth.

Important information for applianceswith stainless steel surfaces

This information does not apply to thecontrol buttons.

Stainless steel surfaces can be cleanedwith a non-abrasive cleaning agentdesigned specifically for use onstainless steel.

To prevent the surfaces from quicklybecoming dirty again, we recommendtreating them with a stainless steel careproduct (available from Miele).

Important information for thecontrols

If soiling is not removed promptly, itcould cause the control elements toalter or discolor.Remove soiling immediately.

The surface of the control elementscan become damaged if they arecleaned using stainless steelcleaning agents.Do not use stainless steel cleaningagents on the control elements.

Cleaning and care

21

Grease filters

Risk of fireOversaturated grease filters are a firehazard.Clean the grease filters at regularintervals.

The re-usable metal grease filters in theappliance remove solid particles(grease, dust, etc.) from the kitchenvapors, preventing soiling of theventilation hood.

The grease filters must be cleaned atregular intervals.

Heavily soiled grease filters hinder airextraction and will lead to increasedlevels of soiling in the ventilation hoodand in the kitchen.

Cleaning intervals

Accumulated grease solidifies over alonger period of time and makescleaning more difficult. The greasefilters should therefore be cleaned every3 to 4 weeks.

Removing the grease filters

When handling the grease filter,be careful not to drop it.This can result in damage to the filterand the cooktop below.Make sure you hold the filter securelyat all times when handling it.

To remove a grease filter, release thelocking clip. Then, open the filter to a45° angle, unhook it, and remove itfrom the hood.

Cleaning the grease filters by hand

Clean the filters with a soft nylonbrush in a mild solution of hot waterand dish soap. Do not use undiluteddish soap.

Unsuitable cleaning agents

Unsuitable cleaners can cause damageto the filter surfaces if used regularly.Do not use any of the following:

- Lime removers

- Abrasive powders or abrasive liquids

- Aggressive all-purpose cleaners anddegreaser sprays

- Oven sprays

Cleaning the grease filters in adishwasher

Place the grease filters upright orslightly inclined in the lower basket.Ensure the spray arm is notobstructed.

Use a commonly available householddishwashing detergent.

Cleaning and care

22

In a Miele dishwasher use the“Normal” program.

Depending on the detergent used,cleaning the filters in a dishwashermay cause the inside filter surfaces tobecome discolored. However, this willnot affect the functioning of the greasefilters in any way.

After cleaning

After cleaning, leave the filters on anabsorbent surface to dry.

When removing the filters forcleaning, also clean off anyaccessible oil or fat buildup from thehousing. Doing so will prevent a firehazard.

Reinstall the grease filters. Wheninserting the filters, make sure thatthe locking clip is facing down.

If the filters have been installedincorrectly, you can insert a smallscrewdriver into the slit to disengagethe locking clip.

OdorFree Charcoal FilterWith recirculation mode, a charcoalfilter must be installed in addition to thegrease filters. The charcoal filter isdesigned to absorb cooking odors.

The charcoal filter is installed in thecanopy above the grease filters.

Charcoal filters are available to order viathe Miele Web Store, Miele TechnicalService (see end of this manual forcontact details), or from your Mieledealer. The model designations arelisted in the “Technical data” chapter.

How to install/replace a charcoalfilter

Remove the grease filters beforefitting or replacing a charcoal filter.

Take the charcoal filter out of itspackaging.

Press the charcoal filter into theframe.

Reinsert the grease filters.

Cleaning and care

23

When to change the OdorFreeCharcoal Filter

Replace the charcoal filter when it nolonger absorbs kitchen odorseffectively.It should be replaced at least every 6months.

Disposing of charcoal filters

Used charcoal filters can be disposedof with normal household waste.

Changing a light bulb

Installation recommendations- A distance of at least 26" (660 mm) is

recommended above electriccooktops to provide more workspaceand easier cooking under the hood.

- When selecting an installation height,always take the user height intoconsideration. Users should haveample space to work comfortably onthe cooktop and reach the ventilationhood controls with ease.

- Please note that the greater thedistance from the cooktop, the lesseffective the hood is at drawing in thecooking vapors.

- To achieve optimum vapor extraction,the hood must be centered over thecooktop, not to the side.

- The cooktop should be no wider thanthe hood. Preferably, it should benarrower for better extraction.

- The mounting area must be easilyaccessible. The ventilation hoodshould be easy to reach anddisassemble in case a service call isnecessary. This should be taken intoconsideration when planning theposition of cabinetry, shelves,ceilings or decorative elements in thevicinity of the ventilation hood.

Drilling diagram for wallmounting When drilling, please follow the

directions contained on theaccompanying installation sheet.

When installing a custom back wallwith pre-drilled holes, please refer tothe drilling distances in the drawingabove (screws ³/₁₆" (5 mm)).

* The dimension for the middle wallbracket is variable. It will depend on theposition of the wall vent and the socket.It should be set as low as possible.

Plywood backing

The majority of the weight of theinstalled ventilation system will besupported by the lower retainingplate. It must be firmly attached tothe stud framing behind the drywall.If studs are not available in therequired locations, a plywoodbacking (min. ½" (13 mm) thick)spanning at least two studs must beinstalled.Failure to adequately support theweight as stated may result in theventilation system falling off the wall,causing personal injury and propertydamage.

If plywood backing is not needed,proceed to the included “Installationdiagram”.

To install a plywood backing

Determine and mark the location ofthe retaining plate for the canopyas outlined on the “Installationdiagram”.

Make a cutting line 3“ (76 mm) aboveand 3” (76 mm) below the outline ofthe retaining plate.

Find the studs to the left and rightof the mounting location by tappingthe wall or using a stud finder.

Mark a vertical cutting line along thecenter of each stud.

CAUTION: When cutting or drillinginto the wall or ceiling, do notdamage electrical wiring and otherhidden utilities.

Remove the drywall between thecutting lines and replace it withplywood of a matching thickness(min. ½" (13 mm) thick). Tape thejoints and refinish the wall.

Proceed to the enclosed “Installationdiagram” to complete the installation.

Air venting

WARNING: Danger of toxic fumes.Gas cooking appliances releasecarbon monoxide that can beharmful or fatal if inhaled.To reduce the risk of fire and toproperly exhaust air, the exhaustgases extracted by the hood shouldbe vented outside of the building only.Do not vent exhaust air into spaceswithin walls or ceilings or in attics,crawl spaces or garages.To reduce the risk of fire, only usemetal ductwork.Please read and follow the“IMPORTANT SAFETYINSTRUCTIONS” to reduce the risk ofpersonal injury. Follow all local buildingcodes when installing the hood.

Only use smooth pipes or flexibleducting made from approved non-flammable materials for ducting.

To achieve the most efficient airthroughput with the lowest noise levels,please note the following:

- The diameter of the vent ductingmust not be smaller than the cross-section of the vent collar (see“Appliance dimensions”). This appliesin particular when using flat ducting.

- The ducting should be as short andstraight as possible.

- Only use wide radius bends.

- The ducting must not be kinked orcompressed.

- All connections must be strong andairtight.

- If the ducting has flaps, these mustbe opened whenever the ventilationhood is switched on.

Any constriction of the air throughputwill reduce extraction performanceand increase operating noise.

Ventilation stack

If the exhaust air is to be ducted into aflue, the ducting must be directed in theflow direction of the flue.

If the flue is used by several ventilationunits, the cross-section of the flue mustbe large enough.

Non-return flap

Use a non-return flap in the ventsystem.

A non-return flap ensures that when theventilation hood is not in operation, theduct is closed to prevent unwantedexchange of room air and outside air.

If the exhaust is ducted through anoutside wall, a Miele wall vent or roofvent (available as an optionalaccessory) is recommended. Both ofthese have a built-in non-return flap.

If the on-site vent system does not havea non-return flap, you can purchase oneas an optional accessory.

Installation

*INSTALLATION*

31

Condensate

If the ducting is to run through coolrooms or ceiling space, for example, thesignificant variations in temperaturebetween the different areas can causecondensate to form. Insulate theducting to reduce temperaturevariations.

If the ducting is to be laid horizontally, itmust be laid with a downwards slopinggradient of at least ³/₈" (1 cm) per meter.This is to ensure that condensatecannot drain back into the ventilationhood.

In addition to insulating the ducting, it isadvisable to also install a condensatetrap for collecting and evaporating anypotential condensate.

Condensate traps for 5" (125 mm) or6" (150 mm) diameter ducting areavailable as optional accessories.

When installing a condensate trap,ensure that it is positioned verticallyand as closely as possible to the

ventilation hood above the exhaustvent. The arrow on the casing indicatesthe direction of airflow.

Miele will not accept warranty claimsfor any functional defects or damagecaused by inadequate ducting.

Reducing Collar

(optional accessory)

If you would like to reduce theenvironmental impact of your ventilationsystem by limiting the CFM output theReducing Collar can be installed. Itreduces the air flow to less than400 CFM. Check local building codesfor max. CFM requirements.

Push the Reducing Collar on theexhaust port of the blower.

Push the exhaust hose over it.

Secure both with a hose clamp.
