Technical safety
 Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be
dangerous. Installation, maintenance work and repairs to electrical
appliances must only be carried out by a Miele approved service
technician.
 A damaged external motor could be dangerous. Check the
appliance for visible signs of damage. Do not use the external motor
if it is damaged.
 The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing
system. It is essential that this basic safety requirement is present
and tested regularly. If in doubt, consult a suitably qualified
electrician.
 Reliable and safe operation of this external motor can only be
assured if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.
 The connection data (voltage and frequency) on the data plate
must match the mains electricity supply in order to avoid the risk of
damage to the motor.
Compare this data before connecting the appliance to the mains. If
in doubt, consult a suitably qualified electrician.
 Do not connect the downdraft extractor to the mains electrical
supply by a multi-socket adapter or extension lead. These are a fire
hazard and do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance.

Warning and Safety instructions
5
 For safety reasons, the external motor may only be used when it
has been fully installed.
 This appliance must not be installed and operated in mobile
installations (e.g. on a ship).
 Any contact with live connections or tampering with the electrical
or mechanical components of the external motor will endanger your
safety and may lead to appliance malfunctions.
Only open the housing as described in the installation instructions

Using at the same time as another heating appliance that depends on the air
from the room
Danger of toxic fumes!
Great care should be taken when using the external motor in the
same room or the same area of the house as another heating
appliance that depends on the air from the room.
Such heating appliances draw in air from the room and duct
exhaust gases out through a chimney or extraction ducting. They
include gas, oil, wood and coal-fired boilers and heaters,
continuous flow or other water heaters, gas cooktops and ovens.
The external motor draws in air from the kitchen and from
neighbouring rooms.
If there is insufficient air, an underpressure will occur. The heating
appliance may be starved of oxygen. This impairs combustion.
Harmful gases could be drawn from the chimney or extraction
ducting back into the room, with potentially fatal consequences.
Risk of death!

Warning and Safety instructions
7
In order to ensure safe operation and to prevent gases given off by
the heating appliance from being drawn back into the room, when
the external motor and the heater are both operated
simultaneously, an underpressure in the room of 0.04mbar (4Pa)
is the maximum permissible.
Sufficient ventilation can be maintained by air inlets which cannot
be blocked, e.g. in windows, doors and outside wall vents. The
diameter of the inlet openings must enable sufficient ventilation. A
ventilation brick alone is not generally sufficient to ensure safe
ventilation.
The overall ventilation condition of the dwelling must be taken into
account. If in any doubt, the advice of a competent builder, or for
gas, a qualified gas fitter should be sought.

Warning and Safety instructions
8
Correct installation
 All ducting, pipework and fittings must be of non-flammable
material. These can be obtained from builders' merchants.
 The appliance must not be connected to a chimney or vent flue
which is in current use for exhausting fumes from appliances burning
gas or other fuels. Neither should it be connected to ducting which
ventilates rooms with fireplaces.

Caring for the environment
9
Disposal of the packing
material
The transport and protective packaging
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for
disposal, and can normally 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. Ensure that any plastic
wrappings, bags etc. are disposed of
safely and kept out of the reach of
babies and young children. Danger of
suffocation.
Disposing of your old
appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain valuable materials. They
also contain specific materials,
compounds and components, which
were essential for their correct function
and safety. These could be hazardous
to human health and to the environment
if disposed of with your domestic waste
or if handled incorrectly. Please do not,
therefore, dispose of your old appliance
with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre for electrical and electronic
appliances. You are also responsible for
deleting any personal data that may be
stored on the appliance prior to
disposal. Please ensure that your old
appliance poses no risk to children
while being stored prior to disposal.

Connection for air extraction
20
Only use smooth pipes or flexible
hoses made from non-flammable
materials for the extraction ducting.
To achieve the greatest possible air
extraction with the lowest noise level,
please note the following:
– The cross-section of the exhaust
ducting must not be smaller than the
cross-section of the exhaust
connection (see "Appliance
dimensions").
– The exhaust ducting should be as
short and straight as possible.
– Only use wide radius bends.
– The exhaust ducting should not be
kinked or compressed.
– Ensure that all connections are
strong and airtight.
Remember that any constriction of
the airflow will reduce extraction
performance and increase operating
noise.
If the exhaust air is to be ducted into
a vent flue, the ducting must be
directed in the flow direction of the
flue.
When ducting is horizontal it must be
laid to slope away at at least 1 cm per
metre. This is to ensure that
condensate cannot drain back into
the downdraft extractor.
If the exhaust ducting is to run
through rooms, ceiling space etc.
where there may be great variations
in temperature between the different
areas, the problem of condensation
will need to be addressed. The
exhaust ducting will need to be
suitably insulated.
