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 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. ^ Press the On/Off button to turn the fan on. ^ Press and hold the grease or charcoal filter button.
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 to prevent grease which has accumulated over a long period of time from hardening 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 cannot 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.
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 Warning: 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 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 when the grease filter indicator lights. A dirty filter is a fire hazard. ^ In a dishwasher: place the filter vertically in the lower basket, making sure that the spray arm is not blocked. Use a hot temperature program, e.g. "Heavy Soil" or "Pots and pans". Use the recommended amount of dishwasher detergent.
Cleaning and Care Active charcoal filter In recirculation mode an active charcoal filter must be used in addition to the grease filters. It is designed to absorb cooking odors. The active charcoal filter will be replaced in the canopy above the grease filters. Replacement active charcoal filters can be ordered from Miele. ^ Remove the grease filters to access the charcoal filter. See "Cleaning and Care". ^ Insert the charcoal filter with the flap facing the front.
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, 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.
