Technical safety
~Before installation, check the
rangehood for visible signs of damage.
Under no circumstances should you
use a damaged appliance. A damaged
appliance is dangerous.
~Before connecting the appliance to
the mains supply, make sure that the
voltage and frequency details given on
the data plate correspond with the
on-site electricity supply, otherwise the
appliance could be damaged. Consult
a qualified electrician if in any doubt.
~The electrical safety of this
appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between
the appliance and an effective earthing
system which complies with current
local and national safety regulations. It
is most important that this basic safety
requirement is present and tested
regularly and, where there is any doubt,
the household wiring system should be
inspected by a qualified electrician.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable
for the consequences of an inadequate
earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
~For safety reasons, this appliance
may only be used when it has been
fully installed.
~Only open the housing as described
in the instructions given in the
installation sheet and in the Cleaning
and care section of this booklet. Under
no circumstances should any other
parts of the housing be opened.
Tampering with electrical connections
or components and mechanical parts is
highly dangerous to the user, and can
cause operational faults.
~Installation, maintenance and
repairs may only be carried out by a
Miele authorised person in accordance
with current national and local safety
regulations.
Repairs and other work by unqualified
persons could be dangerous. The
manufacturer cannot be held liable for
unauthorised work.
~A damaged connection cable must
only be replaced by an approved and
suitably qualified technician.
~Faulty components must only be
replaced by genuine Miele original
parts. The manufacturer can only
guarantee the safety of the appliance
when Miele replacement parts are
used.
~During installation, maintenance and
repair work, the appliance must be
disconnected from the mains electricity
supply. It is only completely isolated
from the electricity supply when:
–it is switched off at the isolator, or
–the screw-out fuse is removed (in
countries where this is applicable), or
–the mains fuse is disconnected, or
–it is switched off at the wall socket
and the plug withdrawn.
Warning and Safety instructions
5

~Do not connect the appliance to the
mains electricity supply by a
multi-socket unit or an extension lead.
These do not guarantee the required
safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of
overheating).
~This rangehood must not be
installed and operated in mobile
installations (e.g. on a ship).
~In areas which may be subject to
infestation by cockroaches or other
vermin, pay particular attention to
keeping the appliance and its
surroundings in a clean condition at all
times. Any damage which may be
caused by cockroaches or other vermin
will not be covered by the warranty.
Using at the same time as other
heating appliances that depend on
the air from the room
Warning - danger of toxic fumes
~Great care should be taken when
using the rangehood at the same time
and in the same room or area of the
house as another heating appliance
which depends on the air in the room.
Such appliances include gas, oil, wood
or coal-fired boilers and heaters,
continuous flow or other water heaters,
gas cooktops or ovens which draw air
in from the room and duct exhaust
gases out through a chimney or
extraction ducting.
When used in extraction mode, the
appliance draws air in from the room in
which it is installed and from
neighbouring rooms.
If there is insufficient air, an
underpressure will occur. The heating
appliance may be starved of oxygen,
impairing combustion.
Harmful gases could be drawn out of
the chimney or extraction ducting back
into the room, with potentially fatal
consequences.
Warning and Safety instructions
6

There must be adequate ventilation of
the room when the rangehood is used
at the same time as appliances burning
gas or other fuels.
In order to ensure safe operation, and
to prevent gases given off by the
heating appliances from being drawn
back into the room when the rangehood
and the heater are in operation
simultaneously, an underpressure of
0.04 mbar (4 pa) is the maximum
permissible in the room.
Ventilation can be maintained by air
inlets which must not be blocked, in
windows, doors and outside wall vents,
or by other technical measures, such
as ensuring that the rangehood can
only be switched on when the heating
appliance is switched off or vice versa.
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 must be sought
.
If the rangehood is being operated in
recirculation mode, the above
restrictions do not apply.
Correct use
~Never use an open flame beneath
the rangehood. To avoid the danger of
fire, do not flambé or grill over an open
flame.
When switched on, the rangehood
could draw flames into the filter. Fat
particles drawn into the rangehood
present a fire hazard.
~When using the rangehood over a
gas cooktop, ensure that any burners in
use are always covered by a pan.
Switch the cooking zone off when a pan
is removed, even for a short time.
Regulate the flame so that it does not
burn up the sides of the pan.
Do not allow the pans to overheat
excessively (e.g. when using a wok).
The rangehood can become damaged
when exposed to excessive heat.
~Always switch the rangehood on
when a cooking zone is in use,
otherwise condensation may collect in
the hood, which could cause corrosion.
~When cooking with oil or fat, chip
pans and deep fat fryers etc., do not
leave the pans unattended. Never leave
an open grill unattended when grilling.
Overheated oil and fat can ignite and
could set the rangehood on fire.
If in any doubt , the advice of a
qualified builder, gas fitter or
electrician must be sought.
Warning and Safety instructions
7

~Do not use the rangehood without
the filters in place. This way you will
avoid the risk of grease and dirt getting
into the appliance and hindering its
smooth operation.
~The filters should be regularly
cleaned or changed as appropriate.
Saturated filters are a fire hazard. See
"Cleaning and care".
~Accessible parts may become hot
when used with cooking appliances.
Do not touch the housing or the grease
filters until the rangehood has cooled
down.
~Do not use a steam-cleaner to clean
this appliance. Steam could reach the
electrical components and cause a
short circuit.
Correct installation
~Refer to the cooktop manufacturer's
instructions as to whether a rangehood
may be operated above the cooktop.
~The minimum safety distances
between the top of the cooktop and the
bottom of the rangehood given in the
"Appliance dimensions" section of this
booklet must be maintained, unless the
cooktop manufacturer states that a
greater safety distance is required.
If more than one cooking appliance is
fitted beneath the rangehood, and they
have different minimum safety
distances to the rangehood, select the
greater distance.
~Safety regulations prohibit the fitting
of a rangehood over solid fuel stoves.
~All ducting, pipework and fittings
must be of non-flammable material.
These can be obtained from Miele or
from builders' merchants.
~The appliance must not be
connected to a chimney or vent flue
which is in use. Neither should it be
connected to ducting which ventilates
rooms with fireplaces.
~If exhaust air is to be extracted into
a chimney or ventilation duct no longer
used for other purposes, seek
professional advice.
~Ensure exhaust ventilation complies
with all relevant regulations.
Accessories
~Only use genuine Miele spare parts
and accessories with this appliance. If
spare parts or accessories from other
manufacturers are used, this will
invalidate the warranty, and Miele
cannot accept liability.
The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by
non-compliance with these Warning
and Safety instructions.

Warning and Safety instructions

The rangehood works with
. . . air extraction:
The air is drawn in and cleaned by the
grease filters and directed outside.
If the on-site ventilation system does
not have a non-return flap, the
non-return flap supplied with the
appliance must be used.
Having a non-return flap fitted in the
ducting ensures that air, once ducted
to the outside, cannot get back into the
room again.
The flap is closed when the rangehood
is switched off.
When the rangehood is switched on,
the non-return flap opens for the
cooking vapours to be blown directly
outside.
. . . air recirculation:
The air is drawn in and cleaned first by
the grease filters and then by a
charcoal filter.
The cleaned air is then recirculated
back into the kitchen through grilles in
the top of the rangehood.
Charcoal filters can be ordered as an
accessory from Miele (see "Technical
data").
Before using the rangehood in
recirculation mode, ensure that the
charcoal filter is in place. See "Cleaning
and care".

air, whether you are using air extraction
or recirculation mode.
Operation
11

,Before any cleaning or
maintenance work is carried out,
disconnect the rangehood from the
mains supply. Ensure that
– it is switched off at the wall socket
and the plug is removed, or
– the mains fuse is withdrawn, or
– the screw-out fuse is removed (in
countries where this is applicable).
,The halogen lamps get very hot
during use, and remain hot for some
time after being switched off.
The hot halogen lamps can be
damaged if water is used to clean
them.
To avoid burns to yourself or
damage to the lamps, wait several
minutes after switching off before
beginning cleaning.
Housing
General information
The surfaces and controls are
susceptible to scratches and
abrasions. Please observe the
following cleaning instructions.
All external surfaces and controls can
be cleaned using warm water with a
small amount of washing-up liquid
applied with a well wrung-out soft
sponge or cloth.
After cleaning, wipe the surfaces dry
using a soft cloth.
Do not use too much water when
cleaning the controls. Moisture
could penetrate into the electronics
and cause damage.
Do not use:
–cleaning agents containing soda,
acids, chlorides or solvents,
–abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.
powder cleaners or cream cleaners
and abrasive sponges, as well as pot
scourers or sponges which have
been used previously with abrasive
cleaning agents. These will damage
the surface material.
Important for appliances with
stainless steel housing
(This infomation does not apply to the
controls)
Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned
with a proprietary non-abrasive
cleaning agent designed specifically
for use on stainless steel.
To prevent immediate resoiling, the
Original Miele care product for stainless
steel can be purchased from Miele or at
www.miele-shop.com (depending on
country). Apply sparingly with a soft
cloth following the instructions on the
packaging.
Cleaning and care
12

Important for appliances with
lacquered housing
It is very difficult to clean this type of
surface without causing minor marks to
the surface material.
This can become particularly
noticeable if there is halogen lighting in
the kitchen.
Important information for cleaning
the controls
The controls may suffer
discolouration or damage if soiling is
left on them for too long. Remove
soiling straight away.
Observe the general information on
cleaning earlier in this section.
Do not use stainless steel cleaning
agents on the controls.
Grease filters
The re-usable metal grease filters in the
appliance remove solid particles
(grease, dust, etc.) from the kitchen
vapours, preventing soiling of the
rangehood.
To avoid a build-up of fat, they should
be cleaned every 3–4 weeks on
average, but sooner if necessary.
,An oversaturated filter is a fire
hazard.
^Open the latch for the grease filter
and lower the filter to remove it.
To avoid damaging the filter or the
cooktop below, make sure you hold
the filter securely at all times when
handling it.
Cleaning and care
13

Cleaning the grease filters by hand
^Clean the filter with a soft nylon brush
in a mild solution of hot water and a
little washing-up liquid.
Do not use undiluted washing-up
liquid.
Do not use:
–cleaning agents containing
descaling agents,
–powder cleaners, cream cleaners or
abrasive all-purpose cleaning
agents,
– oven sprays.
Cleaning the grease filters in the
dishwasher
^Place the filters as upright as
possible in the lower basket. Ensure
the spray arm is not obstructed.
^Do not wash at more than 65 °C. If a
Miele dishwasher is being used,
select the Sensor wash programme.
^Use a mild dishwasher detergent.
Depending on the cleaning agent
used, cleaning the filters in a
dishwasher can cause permanent
discolouration to the surface.
However, this will not affect the
functioning of the filters in any way.
^After cleaning, leave the filters to dry
on an absorbent surface before
replacing them.
^When removing the filters for
cleaning, also clean off any residues
of oil or fat from the now accessible
housing to prevent the risk of these
catching fire.
Cleaning and care
14

Charcoal filter
If the rangehood is connected for
recirculation (see "Installation"), a Miele
NoSmell active charcoal filter must be
inserted in addition to the grease filter.
^Remove the grease filters.
^Push the cover for the charcoal filter
duct slightly to the right and then
lower it to remove.
^Unwrap the charcoal filter from its
packaging.
^Place the charcoal filter in its duct
and push it up against the air outlet
grille.
^Refit the cover and the grease filters.
Replace the charcoal filter when it no
longer absorbs kitchen odours
effectively. It should, however, be
replaced at least every six months.
^Used charcoal filters can be
disposed of with the normal
household waste.
Cleaning and care
15

Changing a halogen lamp
^Ensure the rangehood is
disconnected from the electricity
supply. To do this:
–switch off at the wall socket and
remove the plug, or
–remove the mains fuse, or
–remove the screw-out fuse (in
countries where this is applicable).
,Exercise caution when changing
halogen lamps. They get very hot
during use and remain hot for some
time after being switched off.
Let them cool down before you
change them.
^Remove the grease filters.
^Slightly loosen the lamp's fastening
screw.
^Slide the screw and the lamp down.
^Tighten the screw again.
^Turn the halogen lamp anti-clockwise
and pull it out.

Safety distance between cooktop and
rangehood
The minimum distances between
the top of a cooktop and the bottom
of the rangehood are as follows,
unless a greater distance is
specified by the manufacturer of
your cooking appliance:
Cooking appliance Distance
S
Electric cooktop 600 mm
Open electric grill 650 mm
Deep fat fryer (electric) 650 mm
Multi-burner gas cooktop
with maximum 45.4 MJ/h
total output, with no burner
having a greater output
than 16.2 MJ/h.
650 mm
Multi-burner gas cooktop
with total output greater
than 45.4 MJ/h, or a gas
cooktop including a single
burner with an output
greater than 16.2 MJ/h.

Single gas cooktop with a
maximum output of 21.6
MJ/h.
650 mm
Single gas cooktop with a
maximum output greater
than 21.6 MJ/h.
760 mm
See "Warning and Safety"
instructions for further information.
When deciding on the safety distance
between the cooktop and rangehood,
please note that a distance of 650 mm
above electric cooktops may be
preferable to give more working space
under the rangehood.
–Account should also be taken of the
height of the person who will be
using the rangehood most often.
They should have sufficient space to
work comfortably at the cooktop, and
be able to reach the rangehood
controls with ease.
–If positioned too high, extraction will
be inefficient.
– For distances greater than 750 mm,
the rangehood should be wider than
the chosen cooktop.
Appliance dimensions

Before installation, it is important to
read the information given on the
"Warning and Safety instructions" at
the beginning of this booklet.
This is particularly crucial when
using the rangehood at the same
time as a heating appliance that
relies on oxygen from the same
room, which could result in the
build-up of toxic fumes.
^Remove the grease filters.
The housing components of stainless
steel rangehoods have protective foil
around them to prevent them from
transport damage.
^Please remove this foil from the
housing components and the frames
of the grease filters before installing
the rangehood. The foil can be
peeled off easily.
Deflector
A deflector is inserted in the back of the
rangehood.
The position of the deflector is
determined by the operating mode.
In air extraction mode, it guides the air
outside through an opening at the back
of the housing.
In air recirculation mode, it closes the
opening and guides the air to the outlet
at the front.
^Check the position of the deflector.
^If necessary, change the position of
the deflector according to the
operating mode you are using.
Extraction
Recirculation
^To do this, push on the two latching
hooks, pull the deflector out, turn it,
and push it back in until it clicks into
place.
