Operation Switch on the blower Power levels 1 to 3 are available for light to heavy cooking vapors and odors. If heavy cooking vapors and odors occur temporarily, e.g., during frying, select stage B as booster level. Use the blower switch to turn on the blower and select the appropriate power level. Turning off the blower It is advisable to run the blower for a few minutes after cooking has finished to neutralize any lingering vapors and odors in the air.
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 vented mode, the hood cannot operate efficiently, causing increased operating noise levels. – Always cook with the lowest possible setting.
Cleaning and care WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING: Before cleaning or servicing the hood, disconnect it from the power supply, see “IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS”. Stainless steel housing General information The surfaces and control buttons are susceptible to scratching and chipping. Observe the following cleaning instructions. Clean all surfaces and control buttons using warm water and liquid dish soap. Apply with a sponge cloth.
Cleaning and care Important for the controls Do not leave dirt and debris on the buttons for any length of time. Otherwise they may become discolored or damaged. Remove any dirt or debris immediately. Observe the general cleaning instructions contained in this chapter. Do not use a stainless steel cleaner to clean the control buttons. Grease filters The reusable metal grease filters in the appliance remove the solid particles contained in kitchen vapors (grease, dust, etc.
Cleaning and care In a Miele dishwasher use the “Normal” program. Depending on the detergent used, cleaning the filters in a dishwasher may cause the inside filter surfaces to become discolored. However, this will not affect the functioning of the grease filters in any way. To remove a grease filter, release the locking clip. Then, open the filter to a 45° angle, unhook it, and remove it from the hood.
Cleaning and care OdorFree Charcoal Filter If the hood is equipped for recirculation, an OdorFree Charcoal Filter must be installed in addition to the grease filters. This filter is designed to absorb odorcausing agents and is mounted in the canopy above the grease filters. Charcoal filters are available to order via the Miele Webstore, Miele Service (see end of this booklet for contact details) or directly from Miele.
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. Turn off the blower and the lighting. Remove the grease filters. Disconnect the hood from the electrical supply before replacing the bulbs (see “IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS”). Loosen the lamp's securing screw a little.

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 recommendations Removing the protective film – To achieve optimum vapor extraction, the hood must be centered over the cooktop, not to the side. Protective film has been used to cover all housing components attached to stainless steel models. This will shield them from any damage that may occur during transport. – The cooktop should be no wider than the hood. Preferably, it should be narrower for better extraction. – The mounting area must be easily accessible.
Installation Check the installation position of the deflector. Remove the deflector if necessary and turn it as appropriate for the operating mode required. To do this, press the two hooks, remove the deflector, turn it, and push it back in until it clicks into position. For operation in the recirculation mode, attach the cover foil to the opening at the back of the range hood. The foil comes with the OdorFree Charcoal Filter (optional accessory).
Installation Installation underneath the wall unit Attachment from the top Use only the attachment points shown on the drilling template and the screws supplied. Incorrect attachment can lead to damage to the hood and could compromise electrical safety (e.g. electric shock). When selecting the installation position, ensure that the recirculation grille at the front of the appliance are not covered by the wall unit.
Installation Attachment from below As described previously, Miele recommends the attachment from above. Should it not be possible to proceed with the attachment from above, the hood can also be mounted to the cabinet's floor from below. The provided screws are intended for the attachment of the hood to a solid wooden cabinet floor with a minimum thickness of ⁵/₈" (16 mm). Ensure the floor can permanently support the applied load. Lift the hood underneath the wall unit.
Installation Wall installation You also have the option of mounting the range hood to the wall by means of two brackets. Two mounting brackets are supplied for this purpose. Remove the guide plugs from the housing. Use the cover caps to close the holes (this also applies when mounting the hood from above). Reinsert the grease filters. Attach the pre-cut drilling template to the wall. The top edge of the template indicates the top edge of the ventilation hood.
Installation Attach the mounting brackets to the wall, using the wall anchors and screws provided. The screws and plugs are designed for use in solid walls only. Use different fasteners for other wall construction types. Make sure that the wall can support the load. Removing the bulb: – Loosen the bulb's securing screw slightly. – Slide the screw and the bulb downwards. – Then tighten the screw again. – Turn the bulb counter-clockwise and pull it out.
Installation Preparation for vented mode Insert the hood. When using 6“ (150 mm) exhaust ducting, use a sharp knife to cut the exhaust socket to size with. When using 5” (125 mm) exhaust ducting, install the exhaust socket as is. Tighten the two screws on the right and left hand sides of the back of the appliance. This will adjust the angle and secure the ventilation hood. Refit the bulbs. Reinsert the grease filters. 34 Insert the non-return flap, if required.
Installation 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. Functional check To do this, switch the blower on. Secure the exhaust ducting to the exhaust socket, e.g., with a hose clip (available as an optional accessory) on flexible ducting. Insert the exhaust socket into the exhaust opening and secure it by turning it slightly clockwise.
Electrical connection WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING: All electrical work should be performed by a qualified electrician in strict accordance with national regulations (for USA: ANSI-NFPA 70) and local safety regulations. Installation, repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous. Ensure that power to the appliance is OFF while installation or repair work is performed.
Air venting WARNING: Danger of toxic fumes. Gas cooking appliances release carbon monoxide that can be harmful or fatal if inhaled. To reduce the risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, the exhaust gases extracted by the hood should be vented outside of the building only. Do not vent exhaust air into spaces within walls or ceilings or in attics, crawl spaces or garages. To reduce the risk of fire, only use metal ductwork.
Air venting Condensate trap In addition to insulating the exhaust duct, we recommend installing a condensate trap to collect and evaporate any condensate which might accumulate. Condensate traps are available for exhaust ducts with a diameter of 5" (125 mm) or 6" (150 mm). When installing a condensate trap, make sure that it is positioned vertically and, if possible, directly above the hood outlet duct collar. The arrow on the housing indicates the direction of airflow.
