Description of functions The following functions are available on your ventilation hood, depending on the model: Extraction mode Air entering through the intake is cleaned by the grease filters and conducted out of the building. 16 Recirculation mode (Recirculation mode hoods require a Recirculation kit an OdorFree Charcoal Filter (available as optional accessories), see “Technical Data” for more information.
Operation Turning on the blower Switch the blower on as soon as you start cooking. This is to ensure that vapors are captured right from the start. Pull out the canopy. For optimum extraction with minimum noise levels, always pull the canopy out to its full extent. The blower turns on at level 2. The symbol and 2 will light up in the blower level display.
Operation Delayed shut-down Safety switch-off It is advisable to run the blower for a few minutes after cooking has finished. If the ventilation hood is switched on but not used for 10 hours, the fan shuts off automatically. The cooktop lighting remains switched on. This helps to neutralize any lingering vapors and odors in the air. It also reduces the risk of residues accumulating in the ventilation hood and any resulting odors.
Energy-saving tips This hood operates in a very efficient and energy-saving manner. The following will help you to save even more energy when using it: - Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation in the kitchen when cooking. If there is insufficient air flow during extraction mode, the hood cannot operate efficiently, causing increased operating noise levels. - Always cook with the lowest possible setting.
Cleaning and care Before proceeding with any maintenance or cleaning task, the ventilation hood must be disconnected from the power supply, see “IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS”. Stainless steel housing General information Unsuitable cleaning agents can damage the surfaces and control elements. Do not use any cleaning agents containing soda, acid, chloride, or solvent. Do not use any abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.
Cleaning and care Grease filter Risk of fire An oversaturated grease filter is a fire hazard. Clean the grease filter at regular intervals. The re-usable metal grease filter in the appliance removes solid particles from the kitchen vapors (grease, dust, etc.), preventing soiling of the ventilation hood. When removing the grease filter, do not tilt it downwards at an angle. This can damage the retaining pins. The grease filter must be cleaned at regular intervals.
Cleaning and care Cleaning the grease filter by hand After cleaning Clean the filters with a soft nylon brush in a mild solution of hot water and dish soap. Do not use undiluted dish soap. After cleaning, leave the filters on an absorbent surface to dry. Unsuitable cleaning agents Unsuitable cleaners can cause damage to the filter surfaces if used regularly.
Cleaning and care OdorFree Charcoal Filter With recirculation mode, a charcoal filter must be installed in addition to the grease filter. The charcoal filter is designed to absorb cooking odors. The charcoal filter is installed in the canopy above the grease filters. Charcoal filters are available to order via the Miele Web Store, Miele Customer Service (see end of this manual for contact details), or from your Miele dealer.
Cleaning and care Changing a light bulb The bulbs should be replaced with the following: Bulb type .............................. LED, GU10 Power ............................................... 3W Replacement bulbs are available from Miele. Pull out the fume deflector, and remove the grease filter as described above. Turn off the blower and the lighting. Please note that bulbs become very hot during use. They can cause burns even after being shut off for some time.

*INSTALLATION* Installation Distance between cooktop and ventilation hood (S) Provided a larger distance is not given by the manufacturer of the cooktop, follow the minimum safety distances between a cooktop and the bottom of the hood. Please also observe the information contained in the “IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS” section.
*INSTALLATION* Installation Installation recommendations - To achieve optimum vapor extraction, the hood must be centered over the cooktop, not to the side. - The cooktop should be no wider than the hood. Preferably, it should be narrower for better extraction. - The mounting area must be easily accessible. The ventilation hood should be easy to reach and disassemble in case a service call is necessary.
*INSTALLATION* Installation a Example: Installation without a front panel installed and with the front edge of the fume deflector flush with the front edge of the cabinetry. b Example: Installation with a front panel to match the cabinetry This installation requires dimension b for the front panel plus ³/₁₆" (5 mm) for the DML 400 fixing bracket to be added to the shelf dimension.
*INSTALLATION* Installation Secure the spacer strip underneath the sides of the cabinetry, flush with the rear wall. Draw a vertical line up both inside walls of the cabinetry from the front of the spacer strip. 34 The brackets are designed for ⁵/₈“ and ³/₄” (16 and 19 mm) thick unit sides. Orientate the bracket so that the vertical depth matches the thickness of the unit side. Screw the brackets onto the right and left inside walls of the housing unit as shown.
*INSTALLATION* Installation To avoid scratching the fume deflector, do not remove the protective film between the fume deflector and the casing until the hood has been placed in the cabinetry Installation of the hood is carried out without the grease filter placed in position. If the grease filter has already been fitted, then it should be removed (see “Cleaning and care”).
*INSTALLATION* Installation Secure the hood to the brackets from below using two screws on each side. Attach the retaining bracket to the rear panel. The casing needs a stable attachment to the rear panel. If this is not guaranteed, the casing can incline forward and damage the fume deflector when it is being pulled out and pushed in. If the cabinet does not have a stable rear panel, the fastening bracket must be attached to the kitchen wall. To do so, use suitable means of fastening.
*INSTALLATION* Installation Attaching the front panel The front of the fume deflector can be fitted with a front panel to match existing cabinetry. The front panel must not exceed approx. 2.8 lbs. (1300 g). This applies to front panels with a depth of up to approx. 1" (30 mm). For larger and heavier front panels, the weight must be reduced. Align the casing and screw the retaining bracket onto the casing.
*INSTALLATION* Installation Aligning the fume deflector Installing the grease filter The position of the fume deflector can be brought forward by up to approx. 1 ³/₈" (35 mm) using the adjusting screws on either side of the fume deflector. This allows the fume deflector to be aligned to the front of the cabinetry on either side. Remove the protective foil around the edge of the grease filter. Use a screwdriver to align the fume deflector correctly.
*INSTALLATION* Installation Connecting the exhaust ducting Setting up recirculation mode If site conditions are not suitable for the ventilation hood to be used with vented extraction, it must be set up for recirculation. A conversion kit, available from a specialist dealer or from Customer Service, is required for operating the ventilation hood in recirculation mode. You will also need a charcoal filter (see “Technical data”). Attach the exhaust ducting, e.g.
*INSTALLATION* Installation Install the conversion kit as described in the kit’s installation instructions. Make sure that the slats in the exhaust grille point toward the center of the room and not toward a wall or the ceiling. Install the charcoal filter (see “Cleaning and care”). Power supply Refer to the notes in “Electrical connection” and “IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS” before connecting to the electricity supply. Connect the hood to the electrical supply.
*INSTALLATION* Installation Grounding Instructions WARNING - Improper grounding can result in a risk of electric shock. This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. If there is any doubt, have the electrical system of the house checked by a qualified electrician. Do not use an extension cord.
*INSTALLATION* Installation - All connections must be strong and airtight. - If the ducting has flaps, these must be opened whenever the ventilation hood is switched on. Any constriction of the air throughput will reduce extraction performance and increase operating noise. Ventilation stack Condensate If the ducting is to run through cool rooms or ceiling space, for example, the significant variations in temperature between the different areas can cause condensate to form.
*INSTALLATION* Installation ventilation hood above the exhaust vent. The arrow on the casing indicates the direction of airflow. Miele will not accept warranty claims for any functional defects or damage caused by inadequate ducting. Reducing Collar (optional accessory) If you would like to reduce the environmental impact of your ventilation system by limiting the CFM output the Reducing Collar can be installed. It reduces the air flow to less than 400 CFM. Check local building codes for max.
