Functional description The ventilation hood works by air extraction. The air is drawn in and cleaned by the grease filters and directed outside. The hood comes equipped with a non-return flap. This flap automatically closes when the hood is turned off so that no exchange of outside air and room air can occur. When the hood is turned on, the air pressure of the exhaust fan automatically opens the flap blowing the inside air and cooking odors outside.

Operation Grease filter timer Checking the grease filter timer A timer monitors the hours of fan operation. To check the percentage of time already used: 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 Reprograming the grease filter timer The grease filter timer is preset to 30 hours. This time can be lengthend or shortend 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. ^ Press the On/Off button to turn off the fan.
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.). ^ Clean the filters, - by hand: use a scrub brush in warm water with a mild detergent. - in a dishwasher: place the filters in the lower basket, making sure that the spray arm is not blocked. The grease filters should be cleaned every 3-4 weeks or whenever the grease filter timer indicator lights. A dirty filter is a fire hazard.
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. Do not touch the bulb surface. Fingerprints or body oils deposited on the bulb will decrease the life of the bulb.

Installation Do not install this exhaust hood over cooktops burning solid fuel. When installing the hood, make sure the following minimum safety distances (S) between the top of a Miele cooking surface and the bottom of the hood is: - 22" (55 cm) above electric cooktops - 26" (65 cm) above gas cooktops - 26" (65 cm) above an open grill For non-Miele cooking appliances maintain the safety distances recommended by the cooktop manufacturer in their installation instructions.
Installation ^ Hold the mounting plate up to the ceiling so that the orange arrow faces the front of the hood and aligns with the lines drawn on the ceiling. Mark the position of the four mounting bolts a for securing the mounting plate and determining the position of the hole the power cable b will pass through. ^ Drill four 3/16" (5 mm) holes in the ceiling. The S10 wall anchors included in the packaging are not for use in USA/CDN. Be certain that the ceiling is stable enough to support the hood.
Installation ^ Secure the ducting to the mounting plate using a hose clip. ^ Insert the short edge of the two spring clips into their slots from below and pivot them 90° so that the tab faces the center of the mounting plate. ^ Pull the power cable through the mounting plate. ^ Insert the four countersunk screws M 6 x 20 into the recessed holes from above. ^ Tape the screws from above to prevent them from being pushed upwards when the nuts are tightened.
Installation ^ Screw the mounting plate through the ceiling and into the structural framing using 8 x 60 lag bolts and washers. Once tight, make sure that the mounting plate can safely support the weight of the hood. ^ Using at least two people, lift the hood and guide the spring clips through their respective slots in the flange at the top of the chimney. Make sure they click into place and that the hood is hanging securely from the spring clips before allowing them to carry the weight.
Installation ^ Bolt the flange firmly to the ceiling using the four M6 nuts. ^ Shorten the power cable as much as possible and attach it to the terminal block inside the chimney. See "Electrical data". Before connecting the appliance read the "Important Safety Instructions" and "Electrical data" sections. ^ Finally, being careful not to scratch the chimney, push the cover plate upwards until the spring fixing clips click into place.
Air extraction 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. 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.
