Guide to the appliance 8
Guide to the appliance a Chimney extension m Grease filter button b Chimney The indicator above the grease filter button lights when the grease filters need to be cleaned. This button is also used: c Canopy d Control panel e Active charcoal filter f Recirculation vent g Overhead lighting h Grease filters i Light button – to reset the grease filter timer after cleaning the grease filters (see "Cleaning and Care"). – to show how long the grease filters have been in use (see "Operation / Filter timers").
Functional description The hood offers two modes of operation: Air extraction Recirculation mode The air is drawn in and cleaned by the grease filters and directed outside. Air is drawn through the grease filters and an active charcoal filter. The filtered air is then recirculated back into the kitchen through a vent at the top of the hood’s chimney. The hood comes equipped with a non-return flap.
Operation Turning on the fan Selecting the power level ^ Press the On/Off button. ^ Use the _ controls to select the desired power level. The fan runs at power level "2". The On/Off indicator lights. & =increases the fan speed $ =decreases the fan speed Level "1" to "3" (green indicators) are usually sufficient for normal cooking. Intensive setting Level "4" (yellow indicator) should be used for a short period when frying or cooking food with a strong aroma.
Operation Delayed Shut Down Turning the lighting on/off If odors or smoke remain in the kitchen after cooking has been completed, the Delayed Shut Down feature can be selected to allow the hood to continue running for either 5 or 15 minutes. The overhead lighting can be turned on and off independently of the fan. ^ Press the light button briefly to turn on the lighting. ^ Press the Delayed Shut Down button while the fan is still running. The light button indicator illuminates.
Operation Filter timers Checking the filter timers Grease filters To check the percentage of time already used: A timer monitors the hours of fan operation. The indicator for the grease filter will light after 30 hours of operation. The grease filters must then be cleaned. After the grease filters have been cleaned and put in place, the grease filter timer must be reset. ^ To do this, press the grease filter button for about 3 seconds. ^ Press the On/Off button to turn the fan on.
Operation Reprogramming the timers The grease filter timer is preset to 30 hours. This time can be lengthened or shortened to 20, 30, 40 or 50 hours. – A time of 20 hours should be programmed in kitchens with frequent pan or deep frying. – A time of 20 hours should also be programmed if the kitchen is only used occasionally. Otherwise grease which has accumulated over a long period of time will harden on the filters making cleaning more difficult.
Operation Reprogramming the charcoal filter timer The active charcoal filter can only be used in recirculation mode and can not be used to exhaust fumes. The charcoal filter timer is not preset. Before using the hood in recirculation mode, the charcoal filter timer must be programmed. ^ Turn off the fan using the On/Off button. ^ Press the Delayed Shut Down and Charcoal Filter buttons at the same time. The indicator for the charcoal filter and one of the _ indicators will flash.
Cleaning and Care Before cleaning or servicing the hood, disconnect it from the power supply by either removing the fuse, unplugging it from the outlet or manually "tripping" the circuit breaker. Cleaning the casing ,Never use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, steel wool or caustic (oven) cleaners on the hood. They will damage the surface. ^ All external surfaces and controls can be cleaned with warm water and liquid dish soap applied with a soft sponge. ^ Wipe dry using a soft cloth.
Cleaning and Care Grease filters The reusable metal grease filters remove solid particles from the vented kitchen air (grease, dust, etc). The grease filters should be cleaned every 3 - 4 weeks or whenever the grease filter indicator lights. A dirty filter is a fire hazard. Depending on the detergent, cleaning the grease filters in a dishwasher may cause permanent discoloration of the filter surface. Performance of the filter will not be affected by this discoloration.
Cleaning and Care Active charcoal filters In recirculation mode two active charcoal filters must be used in addition to the grease filters. The charcoal filters are designed to absorb cooking odors. Replacement active charcoal filters can be ordered from the Miele Technical Service Department. USA 1-800-999-1360 CDN 1-800-565-6435 Please quote part # 03 284 681. ^ Remove the grease filters to access the charcoal filters. Follow the instructions supplied with the active charcoal filters.
Cleaning and Care Changing the light bulb Before changing the light bulbs, disconnect the hood from the power supply by either removing the fuse, unplugging it, or manually "tripping" the circuit breaker. When in use halogen bulbs become extremely hot, and they can burn your hands. Do not attempt to change the bulbs until they have had sufficient time to cool down. Do not touch the bulb surface. Fingerprints or body oils deposited on the bulb will decrease the life of the bulb.

Installation Retaining plates The ventilation system will be mounted to the wall through the use of retaining plates. Plate A is installed first, followed by plate B. Plate C should only be used if the distance between plate A and plate B is greater than 14 3/8" (365 mm). 32 Attaching the retaining plates to the wall ^ Before fitting the retaining plate draw a vertical line centrally above the cooktop on the rear wall. ^ Mark measurement S from the cooktop surface upwards (see "Appliance dimensions").
Installation Retaining plate A ^ Drill two 1/8" (3 mm) holes, one at S + 4" (100 mm) and one at S + 16 3/4" (425 mm) on the center line for the retaining plate (see "Appliance dimensions"). ^ Lightly secure retaining plate A into position using 5 x 40 mm screws through the two holes and use the notches to align with the center line. ^ Drill 4 more 1/8" (3 mm) holes through the now fitted retaining plate. ^ Screw two 5 x 40 mm screws into the upper two holes.
Installation Retaining plate C Retaining plate C should only be used if dimension Y is greater than 14 3/8" (365 mm.) It provides additional stability for the chimney extension. Attaching the canopy ^ Hang the canopy on the angled brackets on retaining plate A. ^ At a maximum distance of 14 3/8" (365 mm) from the ceiling hold retaining plate C against the wall and use the notches to align it with the center line. Mark the two drill holes. ^ Drill two 1/8" (3 mm) holes into the wall.
Installation Inserting the non-return flap ^ Air extraction: If a non-return flap is not present in the venting system, the non-return flap supplied must be fitted into the exhaust connection on the motor. The flaps must open upwards. Attaching the motor assembly ^ First loosely screw the two locking nuts onto the threaded bolts on retaining plate A. Leave a gap of 1/8" (3 mm) for hanging the motor on. ^ The hood is designed for 6" (150 mm) exhaust ducting.
Installation Electrical connection Before connecting the appliance read the "Warning and Safety Instructions" and the "Electrical data" sections. Air extraction exhaust connection ^ Connect the ductwork to the exhaust connection using whatever means are appropriate for the type of ductwork being installed (hose clamp, duct tape, etc.) ^ Plug the 2 connectors on the canopy into the corresponding receptacles left and right of the motor assembly.
Installation Recirculation connection Recirculation mode is used when venting to the outside of the building is not possible. ^ Slip the hose clamps over the flex hose onto the diverter and the motor assembly exhaust connection. Once in place, tighten the hose clamps. ^ Slide the diverter on to the brackets of plate B. Active charcoal filters must be used in the recirculation mode.
Installation Attaching the chimney extension The use of a chimney extension, allows the hood to be installed at various distances from the ceiling. NOTE: The extension must be intalled in relationship to the method of venting; Extraction or Recirculation. Recirculation Air extraction The extension piece has vented openings on one end. These vents are required for recirculation mode and will be closest to the ceiling when installed.
Installation ^ Screw the extension piece firmly to the upper retaining plate using two 3.9 x 7.5 mm screws. ^ Remove the protective foil from chimney extension. ^ Cover the screws with the supplied cap covers. ^ Bend the top hanging tabs 45° inwards. This will make installing the extension easier. Be careful of sharp edges. ^ Only for recirculation: With the slats pointing downwards, install the recirculation vents through the extension piece and into the diverter.
Installation Attaching the chimney ^ Remove the protective foil from the chimney. ^ Fold the protective shield at the top. ^ Remove the adhesive backing from the shield. ^ Stick the shield to the chimney extension so that it is smooth and flush with the bottom. 40 ^ Remove the backing from the adhesive strips on the protective shield. ^ Attach the protective shield to the front of the chimney so that it protrudes slightly below the bottom edge.
Installation ^ Secure the chimney to reatining plate A on both sides with two 3.9 x 7.5 mm screws. ^ Remove the protective foil from the canopy. ^ Pull the chimney apart slightly and slide it over the chimney extension. Do this carefully to prevent scatching the two pieces. ^ Slide the chimney down aligning its lower screw holes with those on the side of retaining plate A. ^ Remove the protective shields.
Air extraction ,WARNING Danger of toxic fumes. Gas cooking appliances release carbon monoxide that can be harmful or fatal if inhaled. The exhaust gases extracted by the hood should be vented outside of the building only. Do not terminate the exhaust ducts in attics, garages, crawlspaces, etc. To reduce the risk of fire, only use metal ductwork. Please read and follow the "IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS" to reduce the risk of personal injury. Follow all local building codes when installing the hood.
Air extraction Condensate trap Important: If the ductwork runs through rooms, ceilings, garages, etc. where temperature variations exist, it may need to be insulated to reduce condensation. In some cases, a condensate trap may also be required to collect and evaporate any condensate which may occur. When installing a condensate trap, ensure that it is positioned vertically and if possible directly above the exhaust outlet.
