The lighting will switch on at maximum brightness. With the lighting switched on, press and hold the lighting control. The brightness will gradually dim until the control is released.
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.
Changing settings Adjusting the grease filter filter saturation indicator The filter saturation indicator can be set to suit the customer’s cooking habits. The factory default setting is a cleaning interval of 30 hours. - Select a shorter interval of 20 hours if food is fried regularly. - A shorter cleaning interval is also recommended if the customer only cooks occasionally. This will prevent grease buildup from hardening and making cleaning more difficult.
Changing settings Adjusting or deactivating the filter saturation indicator for the charcoal filter Charcoal filters are needed for recirculation mode. The filter saturation indicator can be set to suit the customer’s cooking habits. It has to be deactivated for extraction mode. Deactivating power management Keep in mind that this may increase energy consumption. Activating/deactivating power management Switch off the blower and the lighting. The factory default setting is an interval of 180 hours.
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”.

Cleaning and care Special instructions for glass surfaces Glass surfaces can be cleaned using a cleaner specifically for use on glass. Filter saturation indicator The ventilation hood registers the length of time it has been operated. Filter saturation indicators show when the filters need to be cleaned or changed by lighting up the grease filter symbol or charcoal filter symbol . You can set the filter saturation indicator to suit the type of cooking you do (see “Changing settings”).
Cleaning and care The number of elapsed operating hours remains stored in memory when the ventilation hood is turned off or if there is a power outage. Grease filters Risk of fire Removing the grease filters When handling the grease filter, be careful not to drop it. This can result in damage to the filter and the cooktop below. Make sure you hold the filter securely at all times when handling it. Oversaturated grease filters are a fire hazard. Clean the grease filters at regular intervals.
Cleaning and care Cleaning the grease filters in a dishwasher Place the grease filters upright or slightly inclined in the lower basket. Ensure the spray arm is not obstructed. Use a commonly available household dishwashing detergent. 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.
Cleaning and care Installing/replacing the charcoal filters Resetting the filter saturation indicator for the charcoal filters The slots for the charcoal filters are located above the grease filters. After changing the charcoal filters, the filter saturation indicator must be reset. To do this, press the filter saturation indicator twice with the blower turned on and hold it for approx. 3 seconds until 1 is the only indicator flashing. The charcoal filter symbol will go out.
Cleaning and care Reactivatable charcoal filters Reactivatable charcoal filters are available for this ventilation hood. They can be used several times after being reactivated in the oven.
