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. Non-return flap A non-return flap in the ducting prevents the exchange of inside and outside air from occurring when the ventilation hood is not in use. The flap is closed when the ventilation hood is turned off.
Operation Turning on the blower Pull out the fume deflector. For optimum extraction with minimum noise levels, always pull out the fume deflector to its full extent. The blower turns on at level 2. The symbol and 2 will light up in the blower level display. Selecting the power level Power levels 1 to 3 are available for light to heavy cooking vapors and odors. If automatic switch-off is not activated, the 1 and B displays will flash. To activate it, press the button.
Operation Delayed shut-off 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. Turning off the blower Push in the fume deflector to switch off the blower. The next time the fume deflector is pulled out, the hood will operate at power level 2, or Press the On/Off button to turn the blower off. The symbol will go out.
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 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 Grease filter Risk of fire! An oversaturated grease filter is a fire hazard. Clean the grease filter at regular intervals. The reusable 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 If the hood is connected for recirculation, an OdorFree Charcoal Filter must be inserted in addition to the grease filter. This is designed to absorb cooking odors. It is fitted in the canopy above the grease filter. Charcoal filters are available to order via the Miele web store (see the back of this manual for 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 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 – 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 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 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 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”). Lift the appliance up into the cabinetry from below until the spring mounts at the side engage in the brackets.
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 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. A DML 400 installation kit, available as an optional accessory, is required for fitting a front panel.
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 Exhaust air connection Insert the non-return flap, if required. Make sure that it opens easily and closes again by itself. Depending on the model, the non-return flap is already installed at the factory. Place the exhaust ducting on the exhaust collar for the hood. See “Connection for air extraction” for further instructions on fitting the ducting. Secure the exhaust ducting to the exhaust socket, e.g., with a hose clip (available as an optional accessory) on flexible ducting.
Installation Set up for recirculation mode If site conditions are not suitable for the hood to be used with air extraction, the appliance must be set up for recirculation. The DUU 151 conversion kit, available from Miele, is required for operating the hood in recirculation mode. You will also need a charcoal filter (see “Technical data”). A non-return flap is not used in recirculation mode. Depending on the model, it is already installed. Remove the non-return flap from the exhaust connection.
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.
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 Reducing Collar (optional accessory) 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.
