These do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating). Using at the same time as other heating appliances that depend on the air from the room Warning - danger of toxic fumes ~ For appliances with an external fan motor fitted (...
Warning and Safety instructions In order to ensure safe operation, and to prevent gases given off by the heating appliances from being drawn back into the room when the cooker hood and the heater are in operation simultaneously, an underpressure of 0.04 mbar (4 pa) is the maximum permissible in the room. One of the following technical measures may be necessary to ensure safe operation.
Warning and Safety instructions Correct use ~ Never use an open flame beneath the cooker hood. To avoid the danger of fire, do not flambé or grill over an open flame. When switched on, the cooker hood could draw flames into the filter. Fat particles drawn into the cooker hood present a fire hazard. ~ Do not use the cooker hood without the filters in place. This way you will avoid the risk of grease and dirt getting into the appliance and hindering its smooth operation.
Warning and Safety instructions ~ Safety regulations prohibit the fitting of a cooker hood over solid fuel stoves. ~ All ducting, pipework and fittings must be of non-flammable material. These can be obtained from the Miele Spare Parts department or from builders' merchants. ~ The appliance must not be connected to a chimney or vent flue which is in use. Neither should it be connected to ducting which ventilates rooms with fireplaces.
Modes of operation The cooker hood works with . . . air recirculation: . . . air extraction: (available as an optional extra with a conversion kit and charcoal filter: see "Technical Data") The air is drawn in and cleaned by the grease filters and directed outside.

The hob lighting will switch on at maximum brightness. ^ The glass edge feature lighting can be turned on or off indepedently of the fan, using the left hand lighting control.
Operation Filter operating hours counter The number of hours the appliance has been in operation is stored in memory. The operating hours counter tells you when the grease filters or charcoal filter need to be cleaned or replaced. Resetting the operating hours counter for the grease filters After 30 hours of operation (or another time if the operating hours counter has been altered), the grease filter indicator lamp will light up. The grease filters must then be cleaned.
Operation Altering the operating hours counter for the grease filters The operating hours counter for the grease filters is set to 30 hours. This can be lengthened or shortened to suit the type of cooking you do. – Select a short time if you roast or fry a lot. – If you use very little fat for cooking, select a longer time.
Operation Activating and altering the operating hours counter for the charcoal filter ^ Use the – / + controls to select the desired time. (in recirculation mode) The charcoal filter is needed for recirculation mode. On delivery, the operating hours counter for the charcoal filter is switched off, ^ Confirm the selection by pressing the charcoal filter touch control.

One or more of the indicator lamps for the – / + touch controls will flash. The number of flashing lamps shows the percentage of the operating time which has already been used up.
Cleaning and care Do not use: Before any cleaning or maintenance work is carried out, disconnect the cooker hood from the mains supply. Ensure that: – it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn, or – the fuse is withdrawn from the fused spur connection unit, or – the mains fuse is withdrawn, or – the screw-out fuse is removed (in countries where this is applicable).
Cleaning and care Important for appliances with lacquered housing (special order finish) It is very difficult to clean this type of surface without causing minor marks to the surface material. This can become particularly noticeable with darker colours and if there is halogen lighting in the kitchen. Important for appliances with an aluminium housing: Aluminium is affected by the way that light falls on it, by the surrounding environment and by the angle you observe it from.
Cleaning and care Grease filters Cleaning the grease filters by hand The re-usable metal grease filters in the appliance remove solid particles (grease, dust, etc.) from the kitchen vapours, preventing soiling of the cooker hood. ^ Clean the filters with a soft nylon brush in a mild solution of hot water and a small amount of washing-up liquid. Do not use undiluted washing up liquid.
Cleaning and care When removing the filters for cleaning, also clean off any residues of oil or fat from the now accessible housing to prevent the risk of these catching fire. When putting the grease filters back in position, ensure that the locking clips are facing down towards the hob. Charcoal filter If the cooker hood is connected for recirculation, a charcoal filter must be inserted in addition to the grease filters. This is designed to absorb cooking odours.
Cleaning and care Always replace the charcoal filter immediately if – the indicator lamp for the charcoal filter lights up, or – if it is no longer effective in absorbing kitchen odours. It should, however, be replaced at least every 6 months. Used charcoal filters can be disposed of with the normal household waste. ^ After fitting the new charcoal filter, press the charcoal filter touch control for approximately 3 seconds to reset the operating hours counter.
Cleaning and care Changing a halogen lamp ^ Before any cleaning or maintenance work, disconnect the cooker hood from the mains supply. Ensure that– – it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug removed, or– – it is switched off at the isolator, or– the screw-out fuse is removed (in countries where this is applicable). ,Exercise caution when changing halogen lamps. They get very hot during use and remain hot for some time after being switched off. Let them cool down before you change them.
After Sales Service In the event of a fault which you cannot correct yourself, or if the appliance is under guarantee, please contact: – Your Miele Dealer / Chartered Agent or – The Miele Customer Contact Centre (see back cover for address). When contacting your Dealer or the Contact Centre, please quote the model and serial number of your appliance. These are shown on the data plate which is visible when the grease filter is removed.

Installation Dismantling Before installation, it is important to read the information given on the following pages as well as the "Appliance dimensions" and the "Warning and Safety instructions" at the beginning of this booklet. This is particularly crucial when using the cooker hood at the same time as a heating appliance that relies on oxygen from the same room, which could result in the build-up of toxic fumes.
Connection for air extraction Important: To avoid the danger of toxic fumes please observe the Warning and Safety instructions. This is especially crucial when using the cooker hood at the same time as another heating appliance which relies on air from the same room. The cooker hood should be installed according to local and national building regulations. Seek approval from the building inspector where necessary.
Connection for air extraction Important: If the exhaust ducting is to run through rooms, ceiling space etc. where there may be great variations in temperature between the different areas, the problem of condensation will need to be addressed. The exhaust ducting will need to be suitably insulated. Cooker hoods designed for use with an external motor (...EXT models) have an integrated condensate trap.
Electrical connection All electrical work should be undertaken by a suitably qualified and competent person in strict accordance with current national and local safety regulations (BS 7671 in the UK). Installation, repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous, for which the manufacturer cannot be held liable. Ensure power is not supplied to the appliance until after installation or repair work has been carried out.
Operation with Control module DSM 400 The Miele DSM 400 Control module can be used to combine the cooker hood with other components. It enables the following: Connection to a window contact switch If adequate ventilation to the room can only be ensured by having a window open when the cooker hood is in use at the same time as a heating appliance which depends on the air from the same room, then the control module can be used to connect a window contact switch (not supplied) to the appliance.
Operation with Control module DSM 400 Connection to a light switch The control module can be used to switch on the cooker hood lighting and also to dim it, depending on model, via a light switch in the house. Installation The tower needs to be removed before the control module can be fitted to the fan unit. The control module is supplied with its own detailed operating and installation instructions.
