The ventilation system can be operated:
Air extraction
The air is drawn in and cleaned by the
grease filters and directed outside.
The hood comes equipped with a
non-return flap. This flap automatically
closes when the hood is turned off so
that no exchange of outside air and
room air can occur. When the hood is
turned on, the air pressure of the
exhaust fan automatically opens the
flap blowing the inside air and cooking
odors outside.
Recirculation mode
The air is drawn in and cleaned by the
grease filter as well as an odor-free
filter (optional accessories). The
filtered air is then recirculated back into
the kitchen.
In air recirculation mode, please
ensure that the odor-free filter is in
place, see "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".
,The halogen bulbs are very hot
when in use. They stay hot for some
time after turned off. Use caution,
danger of burns.
Wet cleaning the hot bulbs will
cause damage.
Wait a few minutes after turning
them off before cleaning.
Cleaning the casing
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 a mild solution of
warm water and liquid dish soap
applied with a soft sponge.
^Wipe dry using a soft cloth.
Do not use too much water when
cleaning the controls. Water could
penetrate the electronics and cause
damage.
Avoid:
–cleaning agents containing soda,
acids or chlorides,
–abrasive cleaning agents
e.g. powder or cream cleansers,
–abrasive sponges, e.g. pot scourers
or sponges which have been
previously used with abrasive
cleaning agents.
These will damage the surface.
–The following instructions for
cleaning "Stainless steel" surfaces
and "Stainless steel colored controls"
should be followed in addition to the
general "Cleaning the casing"
instructions.s.
Stainless steel surfaces
(does not apply to stainless steel
colored controls)
Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned
using a non-abrasive stainless steel
cleaner.
To help prevent resoiling, a conditioner
for stainless steel can be applied.
Cleaning and care
10

Special instructions for appliances
with a colored (RAL) housing.
It is very difficult to clean this type of
surface without causing minor marks on
the surface material.
This can become particularly
noticeable if there is halogen light in the
kitchen.
Stainless steel colored controls
These controls may become discolored
or damaged if not cleaned regularly.
Do not use a stainless steel cleaner on
these controls.
Observe the general cleaning
information in this chapter.
Do not use a stainless steel cleaner
on the controls.
Grease filters
The reusable metal grease filters in the
hood remove solid particles from the
vented kitchen air (grease, dust, etc.)
and prevent soiling of the ventilation
system.
We recommend cleaning the grease
filters every 3-4 weeks, before the
residues solidify.
,A dirty filter is a fire hazard!
^Open the grease filter locking clips
and pull the filter down to remove.
To prevent damage to the filter and
the cooktop, hold the filter securely
when handling it.
Cleaning and care
11

Cleaning the filter
^By hand: use a scrub brush with a
solution of warm water and mild
detergent.
Do not use the pure detergent,
aggressive all purpose cleaners,
oven sprays, abrasive cleaning
agents or limescale removers. They
could destroy the filter.
^In a dishwasher: place the filter
vertically in the lower basket, making
sure that the spray arm is not
blocked.
Use a wash program with a max.
temperature of 150°F (65°C). In a
Miele dishwasher use the "Normal"
program.
Use the recommended amount of
dishwasher detergent. Overuse could
destroy the filter.
Depending on the detergent,
cleaning the grease filter in a
dishwasher may cause permanent
discoloration of the filter surface.
Performance of the filter will not be
affected by this discoloration.
^After cleaning, the filter can be
placed on a towel to air dry.
^While the filter is removed, clean any
dirt or grease from the filter casing to
prevent the risk of fire.
Cleaning and care
12

Odor-free filter (active charcoal
filter)

filter must be used in addition to the
grease filter. The odor-free filter is
designed to absorb cooking odors. It is
inserted above the grease filter.
^Remove the grease filters.
^Slide the cover of the odor-free filter
duct slightly to the right and
downward to remove.
^Remove the odor-free filter from the
packaging.
^Insert the odor-free filter into the duct
and push upward until it is positioned
under the vent.
^Reinsert the cover and the grease
filter.
Replace the filter every 6 months or
when it is no longer absorbing cooking
odors.
^Used odor-free filters may be
discarded with the household waste.
