IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS , WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A COOKTOP GREASE FIRE: Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings. Always turn the hood on when cooking at high heat or when cooking flaming foods. Clean ventilation fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on the fan or filter. Use the proper pan size.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Installation , WARNING To reduce the risk of fire only use metal ductwork. When installing the hood, follow the recommended minimum safety distances between a Miele cooktop and the hood: – 22" (55 cm) above electric cooktops, – 26" (65 cm) above gas cooktops, – 26" (65 cm) above an open grill. If local building codes require a greater safety distance, follow their requirement.
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.

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 Cleaning the grease filters The reusable metal grease filters remove solid particles from the vented kitchen air (grease, dust, etc). ^ - By hand: use a scrub brush in warm water with a mild detergent. - In a dishwasher: place the filters vertically in the lower basket, making sure that the spray arm is not blocked. Wash using the "Sani Wash" or "Normal Plus" programs. The grease filters should be cleaned every 3 - 4 weeks or when the grease filter indicator lights.
Cleaning and Care Active charcoal filter In recirculation mode an active charcoal filter must be used in addition to the grease filters. The charcoal filter 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, and they can burn your hands. 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 the life of the bulb.

Appliance dimensions Do not install this exhaust hood over cooktops burning solid fuel. When installing the hood, make sure that the following minimum distance between the top of a Miele cooking surface and the bottom of the hood is: - 22" (55 cm) above electric cooktops - 26" (65 cm) above gas cooktops - 26" (65 cm) above an open grill For non-Miele cooking appliances maintain the safety distances recommended by the cooktop manufacturer in their installation and operating instructions.
Installation Installation accessories Installation instructions See the enclosed installation instruction sheet. 4 Screws 8 x 60 mm with 4 Washers (S10 wall anchors included in the packaging are not for use in USA / CDN) Please read the "Important Safety Instructions" and Installation instructions before installing this hood. Recirculation mode If site conditions are not suitable for the hood to be used for air extraction, the appliance must be converted for recirculation.
Air extraction Danger of toxic fumes. Gas cooking appliances release carbon monoxide that can be harmful or fatal if inhaled. The exhaust gases extracted by the hood should be vented outside of the building only. Do not terminate the exhaust ducts in attics, garages, crawlspaces, etc. Please read and follow the "Important Safety Instructions" to reduce the risk of personal injury. Follow all local building codes when installing the hood.
Air extraction Condensate trap optional accessory If the exhaust is ducted into an inactive flue, the air must be expelled parallel to the flow direction of the flue. Never connect an exhaust hood to an active chimney, dryer vent, vent flue, or room venting ductwork. Seek professional advice before connecting an exhaust hood vent to an existing, inactive chimney or vent flue. Important! If the ductwork runs through rooms, ceilings, garages, etc.
