IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS , WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A COOKTOP GREASE FIRE: Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings. Always turn the hood on when cooking at high heat. Clean ventilation fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on the fan or filter. Use the proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Installation , WARNING To reduce the risk of fire only use metal ductwork. Provided a larger distance is not given by the manufacturer of the cooktop, follow the recommended minimum safety distances between a cooktop and the bottom of the hood: - 22" (550 mm) above electric cooktops, - 30" (762 mm) above gas cooktops, - 26" (650 mm) above an open electric grill or an open electric boiler/fryer.
Functional description The ventilation hood offers two modes of operation: Air extraction Recirculation mode (recirculation installation kit available as an optional accessory) The air is drawn in and cleaned by the grease filters and directed outside. The hood comes equipped with a non-return flap. The flap automatically closes when the hood is turned off so that no exchange of outside air and room air can occur. Air is drawn through the grease filters and an active charcoal filter.

Operation Turning the fan on Fan performance ^ Pull the deflector out. The maximum air flow capacity is 625 cfm. Factors such as narrow duct diameter and bends will affect this value. The hood will operate at power level "2". The On/Off indicator and the second "-/+" indicator will light. Selecting the power level Depending on how much the air needs to be filtered, there are four power levels available.
Operation Automatically switching back the Intensive power level The intensive level "4" can be programmed to automatically switch back to level "3" after 10 minutes. ^ Turn the fan and the lights off. Turning the light on and off The light for illuminating the cooktop can be turned on or off independently of the fan. ^ Pull the deflector out to turn the light on. Push it in to turn it off. or ^ Press and hold the "-/+" buttons for 10 secs. The first indicator of the fan power levels lights.
Cleaning and care Casing Before servicing or cleaning the hood, disconnect it from the power supply by "tripping" the circuit breaker or unplugging it. Make sure power is not restored to the appliance while maintenance or repair work is performed. 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.
Cleaning and care Grease filter Cleaning the filter The reusable metal grease filter removes solid particles from the vented kitchen air (grease, dust, etc). ^ By hand: use a scrub brush with a solution of warm water and mild detergent. Do not use the pure detergent, aggressive all purpose cleaners, oven sprays, abrasive cleaning agents or limescale removers. They could destroy the filter. The grease filter should be cleaned every 3 - 4 weeks. A dirty filter is a fire hazard.
Cleaning and care Inserting / replacing the active charcoal filters For recirculation mode an active charcoal filter must be used in addition to the grease filter. The charcoal filter is designed to absorb cooking odors. The active charcoal filter is inserted above the grease filter. ^ To insert the grease filter, make sure that the red plastic guides are at the front and facing up. ^ Insert the grease filter in the deflector and push upwards. It should glide onto the fixing pins.
Cleaning and care Changing the light bulbs 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, use caution. 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 its life. Follow the bulb manufacturer’s instructions.
After Sales Service Repairs MieleCare In the event of a fault which you cannot easily fix yourself, please contact the Miele Technical Service Department at the phone number on the back of this booklet. (only USA) ^ When contacting the Technical Service Department, please quote the model and serial number of your appliance.

Installation Installation accessories 24
Installation a 2 hose clips to secure the vent ducting to the vent connection. b 2 runners (1 x right, 1x left) to support the hood in the cabinet. c 1 spacer strip to conceal the gap between the rear of the appliance and the wall.
Installation 26
Installation 1. Installing the space bar T = K cabinet depth minus G hood depth ^ The hood depth G depends on the custom panel: – a Hood installed with a cabinet matching custom panel – b Hood installed without front panel These measures are only valid for the installation if the front panel sits flush with the cabinet corpus (without the door). ^ Screw the space bar flush with the wall under the cabinet side walls.
Installation 2. Runners 3. Installing the hood in the cabinet ^ Lay the hood on its back side. Do not remove the installation protector between the deflector and casing before the installation is completed. The runners are made for side walls of 5/8" (16 mm) and 3/4" (19 mm). Screw on the angled side which has the imprint of the respective cabinet wall measure. ^ Align the runners with the drawn line and be sure that they are flush with the lower edge of the cabinet side wall.
Installation ^ Take the grease filter out and put it aside. ^ Push the deflector back in. ^ Insert the hood into the cabinet from below and until the spring clips click into place. ^ When installing a 29 13/16" (80 cm) or a 35 1/4" (90 cm) hood into a 23 5/8" (60 cm) cabinet, unscrew the deflector spring clips while the deflector is pulled out. ^ To dismount the appliance: unscrew the screws to the left and the right of the inner side of the hood.
Installation 4. Secure the appliance ^ Push the hood back so it sits flush with the front of the spacer strip. ^ Pull the deflector out. ^ Drill respective holes and screw the fixing brackets to the wall or the cabinet rear wall. ^ Screw the hood, with 4 screws, onto the runners. ^ Tighten the screws to the casing. ^ Remove the installation protection between the deflector and casing. ^ Connect the space bar from the rear with 4 plastic rivets at the hood rear side.
Installation 5. Install the front panel if necessary 6. Install the grease filter ^ Remove the protective film from the grease filter frame. ^ To reinsert the grease filter, pull the deflector out. The installation kit DML 300 is necessary. It can be obtained as an optional accessory from Miele. The installation kit has an installation manual supplied. ^ Make sure that the red plastic guides are at the front and facing up. ^ Insert the grease filter into the deflector, and push upwards.
Installation 7. Venting Air extraction mode ^ Complete the venting installation, see "Air extraction". Recirculation mode If the hood cannot be installed for air extraction the appliance must be connected for recirculation mode. For recirculation mode a respective installation kit is recommended which can be obtained from Miele. In addition an active charcoal filter is needed. ^ Insert the hose from below into the air outlet grille. ^ Insert the hose from the top though the opening in the cabinet.
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 optional accessory In some cases, a condensate trap may be required to collect and evaporate any condensation which may develop. This optional accessory is available for ducts 5" (125 mm) and 5 7/8" (150 mm) in diameter. ^ When installing a condensate trap, ensure that it is positioned vertically and if possible directly above the exhaust outlet. – If the exhaust is ducted into an inactive flue, the air must be expelled parallel to the flow direction of the flue.
