Packaging, e.g. plastic wrappings, must be kept out of the reach of babies and children. Whilst playing, children could become entangled in packaging or pull it over their head and suffocate.
Warning and Safety instructions Technical safety Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can cause considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance and repairs must only be carried out by a Miele authorised technician. A damaged appliance can be dangerous. Check it for visible signs of damage. Do not use a damaged appliance. The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed when correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety requirement is met.
Warning and Safety instructions For safety reasons, this appliance may only be used after it has been built in. The cooker hood must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g. on a ship). Tampering with electrical connections or components and mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can cause operational faults. Only open the housing as described in the instructions given in the installation sheet and in the Cleaning and care section of this booklet.
Warning and Safety instructions Using at the same time as other heating appliances that depend on the air from the room Warning - danger of toxic fumes Great care should be taken when using the cooker hood at the same time and in the same room or area of the house as another heating appliance which depends on the air in the room.
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 in the room of 0.04 mbar (4 pa) is the maximum permissible.
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 deposits could ignite, presenting a fire hazard. The cooker hood can become damaged when exposed to excessive heat. – When using the cooker hood over a gas hob, ensure that any burners in use are always covered by a pan.
Warning and Safety instructions Correct installation Refer to the cooker or hob manufacturer's instructions as to whether a cooker hood may be operated above the cooker/hob. Safety regulations prohibit the fitting of a cooker hood over solid fuel stoves. Insufficient distance between the cooker or hob and the cooker hood can result in damage to the hood.
Warning and Safety instructions Accessories Only use genuine original Miele accessories with this appliance. Using accessories from other manufacturers will invalidate the guarantee, and Miele cannot accept liability.
Caring for the environment Disposal of the packing material The packaging is designed to protect the appliance from damage during transportation. The packaging materials used are selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and should be recycled. Recycling the packaging reduces the use of raw materials in the manufacturing process and also reduces the amount of waste in landfill sites.
Modes of operation Depending on the model of the cooker hood, the following options are available: Air extraction The air is drawn in and cleaned by the grease filters and directed outside. Non-return flap The non-return flap is designed to prevent the exchange of room and outside air taking place. The flap is closed when the cooker hood is switched off. When the cooker hood is switched on, the non-return flap opens for the cooking vapours to be blown directly outside.

Cleaning and care Housing General information The surfaces and controls are susceptible to scratches and abrasion. Please observe the following cleaning instructions. All external surfaces and controls can be cleaned using warm water with a small amount of washing-up liquid applied with a well wrung-out soft sponge or cloth. Do not use too much water when cleaning the controls. Water could penetrate into the electronics and cause damage. After cleaning, wipe the surfaces dry using a soft cloth.
Cleaning and care Important for the controls Do not leave soiling on the controls for any length of time. Otherwise they may suffer discolouration or damage. Remove soiling straight away. Please observe the general notes on cleaning earlier in this section. Do not use stainless steel cleaning agents on the controls. Important for appliances with glass surfaces Glass surfaces can be cleaned using a proprietary non-abrasive cleaning agent designed specifically for use on glass.
Cleaning and care Cleaning the grease filters by hand After cleaning 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 "neat" washing up liquid. After cleaning, leave the filters to dry on an absorbent surface before replacing them. Unsuitable cleaning agents Unsuitable cleaning agents can cause damage to the surface of the filters if used regularly.
Cleaning and care Charcoal filter When to change the charcoal filter If the cooker hood is connected for recirculation, a charcoal filter must be inserted in addition to the grease filter. This is designed to absorb cooking odours. Always replace the charcoal filter when it no longer absorbs kitchen odours effectively. It should, however be replaced at least every 6 months. Replacement charcoal filters can be obtained from your Miele retailer or via the internet at www.miele-shop.com.
Cleaning and care Changing a halogen lamp Note that halogen lamps become very hot when in use. They can cause burns even after being switched off for some time! Allow them to cool down for a few minutes before changing them. Disconnect the cooker hood from the mains electrical supply before replacing the lamp (see "Warning and Safety instructions"). To access the halogen lamp, press the lamp cover gently upwards. The cover will open and can then be lowered. Pull the halogen lamp out of its socket.
Installation Before installation Before installation, it is important to read the information given on the following pages as well as the "Warning and Safety instructions" at the beginning of this booklet. Protective foil The housing components have protective foil around them to protect them from transport damage. Dismantling Should the appliance ever need to be dismantled, follow the installation instructions in reverse order as described on the installation sheet.

Installation Installation recommendations – When deciding on the safety distance between the hob and cooker hood, please note that a distance of 650 mm above electric cookers/hobs may be preferable to give more working space under the hood. Drilling diagram for wall mounting Please follow the directions given in the installation instructions supplied for drilling. – Account should also be taken of the height of the person who will be using the hood most often.
Connection for air extraction 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. It is essential that the "Warning and Safety" instructions are observed.
Connection for air extraction will need to be addressed. The exhaust ducting will need to be suitably insulated. Silencer Condensate trap To achieve even further reductions in noise levels, a special silencer (optional accessory) can be fitted in the ducting system. Air extraction In addition to insulating the exhaust ducting, we recommend that a suitable condensate trap is also installed to collect and evaporate any condensate which may occur. Condensate traps are available for 125 mm or 150 mm ducting.
Connection for air extraction Recirculation mode The silencer needs to be positioned between the exhaust connection and the directional unit . Ensure there is adequate space in the tower for fitting it. Air extraction with external motor To minimise noise from the motor in the kitchen, the silencer should be positioned in front of the external motor if possible, or, if the ducting is long, above the exhaust connection inside the hood .
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.
