Warning and Safety instructions
4

Technical safety
~Before installation, check the cooker
hood 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.
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 appliance must not be used in
a non-stationary location (e.g. on a
ship).
~In countries where there are 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 guarantee.
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 cooker hood 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 hobs, cookers 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

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 cooker
hood and the heater are in operation
simultaneously, an underpressure in the
room of 0.04 mbar (4 pa) is the
maximum permissible.
Ventilation can be maintained by air
inlets which cannot be blocked, in
windows, doors and outside wall vents,
or by other technical measures, such
as ensuring that the cooker hood 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
"Corgi" installer, must be sought.
If the hood is being operated in
recirculation mode, the above
restrictions do not apply.
Correct use
~Never use an open flame beneath
the cooker hood. To avoid the danger
of fire, do not flambé or grill over an
open flame.
When switched on, the cooker hood
could draw flames into the filter. Fat
particles drawn into the cooker hood
present a fire hazard.
~When using the cooker hood over a
gas hob, 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 cooker hood can become
damaged when exposed to excessive
heat.
~Always switch the cooker hood 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 cooker hood on fire.
Warning and Safety instructions
7

~Do not use the cooker hood 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".
~Do not use a steam-cleaner to clean
this appliance. Pressurised steam
could reach the electrical components
and cause a short circuit.
Correct installation
~Refer to the cooker or hob
manufacturer's instructions as to
whether a cooker hood may be
operated above the cooker/hob.
~The minimum safety distances
between the top of the cooker or hob
and the bottom of the cooker hood
given in the "Appliance dimensions"
section of this booklet must be
maintained, unless the hob
manufacturer states that a greater
safety distance is required.
If more than one cooking appliance is
fitted beneath the cooker hood, and
they have different minimum safety
distances to the cooker hood, select
the greater distance.
Follow the cooker or hob
manufacturer's instructions on the use
of flammable materials over the
cooker/hob when installing a wood or
laminate decor panel onto the cooker
hood.
~Safety regulations prohibit the fitting
of a cooker hood over solid fuel stoves.
~All ducting, pipework and fittings
must be of non-flammable material.
These can be obtained from the Miele
Spare Parts department 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.
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 guarantee, 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 cooker hood 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 must be fitted.
This flap is closed when the cooker
hood is switched off. No exchange of
room and outside air can take place.
When the cooker hood 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 two
charcoal filters.
The cleaned air is then recirculated
back into the kitchen through a vent in
the top of the cooker hood.
The charcoal filters are available to
order through your Dealer or the Miele
Spare Parts Dept (see back page for
contact details and Technical data for
part number).
Before using the cooker hood in
recirculation mode, ensure that the
charcoal filters are in place. See
Cleaning and care.

order from Miele (see back page for
details) or via the internet at
www.miele-shop.com.
,Before carrying out any cleaning
or maintenance work, disconnect
the cooker hood from the mains
supply.
,Halogen lamps get very hot
during use and remain hot for some
time after being switched off. The
hot lamps are also susceptible to
damage from damp cleaning. Wait a
few minutes after switching off
before commencing cleaning.
Housing
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
little washing-up liquid applied with a
well wrung-out soft sponge or cloth.
Wipe the surfaces dry using a soft cloth.
Do not use too much water when
cleaning the controls. Water could
penetrate into the electronics and
cause damage.
Avoid:
–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.
A microfibre "E-Cloth" is available from
the Miele UK Spare Parts Department,
which is suitable for cleaning surfaces
such as stainless steel, glass, plastic
and chrome without the use of
chemicals.
Cleaning and care
12

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
cooker hood.
They should be cleaned at least every
3-4 weeks to avoid grease sticking hard
to them.
,An oversaturated filter is a fire
hazard.
^Release the locking clips on the
grease filters, and carefully lower and
remove the filters.
To avoid damaging the filters or the
hob below, make sure you hold the
filters securely at all times when
handling them.
Cleaning the grease filters by hand
^Clean the filters with a soft nylon
brush in a mild solution of hot water
and a little washing-up liquid.
Do not use:
–neat washing-up liquid,
–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, with the
short sides upright, and wash on a
65°C programme, ensuring the spray
arm is not obstructed. 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 grease filters in a
dishwasher can cause permanent
discolouration to the surface of the
filters.
However, this will not affect the
functioning of the grease 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
13

Charcoal filters
If the cooker hood is being used on
recirculation mode, two DKF 14-1
charcoal filters must be fitted behind
the grease filters.
^Open the vapour canopy
^Remove the grease filters.
^Unwrap the charcoal filters.
^Position the charcoal filters on either
side of the fan as shown, and twist
securely into place.
^Replace the grease filters.
The charcoal filters should be replaced
