Warning and Safety instructions
This appliance meets statutory
safety requirements. Inappropriate
use could however lead to risk of ac-
cidents to the user and damage to
the appliance.
Read the operating instructions be-
fore using this machine for the first
time. They contain important infor-
mation about the safety, use and
maintenance of the machine. This
will avoid the risk of accidents and
damage to the machine.
Keep these operating instructions in
a safe place and ensure that new
users are familiar with the content.
Pass them on to any future owner of
the machine.
Appropriate use of the cooker
hood
The appliance is intended for do-
mestic use only.
The manufacturer cannot be held re-
sponsible for any damage caused by
improper use or by non-observance of
these instructions.
Technical safety
Before connecting the cooker
hood to the mains supply make
sure that the voltage and frequency de-
tails given on the data plate corre-
spond with the on-site electricity sup-
ply. If in doubt consult a qualified
electrician.
The electrical safety of this ap-
pliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between
the appliance and an effective earthing
system which complies with local and
national regulations. It is most import-
ant that this basic safety requirement is
tested by a qualified electrician.
The manufacturer cannot be held re-
sponsible for the consequences of an
inadequate earthing system (e.g. elec-
tric shock).
Installation work and repairs may
only be carried out by suitably
qualified and competent persons to en-
sure safety.
Repairs and other work by unqualified
persons could be dangerous.
Warning and Safety instructions

The appliance is only completely
isolated from the electricity supply
when, depending on the type of installa-
tion,
– it is switched off at the wall socket
and the plug removed,
(do not pull on the cable, only on the
plug), or
– the fuse from the fused spur connec-
tion unit (if accessible) is withdrawn, or
– the mains fuse is withdrawn, or
– the screw-out fuse is removed, (in
countries where this is applicable).
Ensure current is not restored to the ap-
pliance while maintenance or repair
work is being carried out.
Do not connect the appliance to
the mains electricity supply by an
extension lead.
Extension leads do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance.(e.g.
danger of overheating)
Use of the appliance
Never use an open flame beneath
the cooker hood - to avoid the
danger of fire do not flambé or grill
dishes. 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 covered by a pan. Otherwise
flames could be drawn up by the suc-
tion of the cooker hood, parts of which
could then be damaged.
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.
Overheated oil and fat can ignite and
could set the cooker hood on fire.
Do not use the cooker hood with-
out the grease filter in place.
This way you will avoid the risk of
grease and dirt getting into the ap-
pliance and hindering its smooth oper-
ation.
Warning and Safety instructions

Clean or change the filters regu-
larly.
Over-greasy filters are a fire hazard.
Under no circumstances use a
steam cleaner to clean this ap-
pliance.
Pressurised steam could give rise to a
short circuit, or cause permanent dam-
age to the surface and to components,
for which the manufacturer of the
cooker hood cannot accept any respon-
sibility.
In countries which may be subject
to infestation by cockroaches or
other vermin, pay particular attention to
keeping the appliance and its surround-
ings in a clean condition at all times.
Any damage which might be caused
by cockroaches or other vermin will not
be covered by the appliance guarantee.
Installation
The distance between the top of
the hob and the bottom of the
cooker hood must measure at least:
–45 cm above electric hobs
–65 cm above gas hobs.
Australia / New Zealand:
–60 cm for eletric and gas hobs.
(For U.K. only) - There must be a
minimum distance of 65 cm be-
tween a gas hob and the cooker hood
in order to avoid exceeding the maxi-
mum nominal (heat) ratings.
Gas cooker maximum
nominal rating
one burner 2.7 kW
all burners 7.5 kW
oven 3.5 kW
Gas hob maximum
nominal rating
one burner 3.5 kW
all burners 10.3 kW
Gas hob with ceramic cover plate
The data given for maximum nominal (heat)
ratings do not aply to a gas hob with a ceramic
cover plate. In this case it is essential to refer to
the hob manufacturer’s data.
Safety regulations prohibit the fit-
ting of a cooker hood over solid
fuel stoves.
All ducting, pipework and fittings
must be of non-flammable ma-
terial. These can be obtained from the
Miele Spare Parts department or from
builders’merchants.
The appliance must not be con-
nected 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, take
professional advice.
Warning and Safety instructions

When using the cooker hood in ex-
traction mode at the same time as
another heating appliance which de-
pends on the air in the room, (e.g. gas,
oil or coal fired heaters, continuous flow
or other water heaters, gas cooker, gas
hob or gas oven) special care must be
taken, as the action of the cooker hood
extracts air from the room, which these
types of heater need for combustion.
In order to ensure safe operation, and
to prevent the gases given off by the
heating appliances from being drawn
back into the room when the extractor
and the heater are in operation simulta-
neously, an underpressure in the room
of 0.04 mbar (4 pa) is the maximum
permissible.
Ventilation can be maintained by air in-
lets which cannot be blocked, in win-
dows, doors and outside wall vents, or
by other techical measures, such as en-
suring that the extractor can only be
switched on when the heating ap-
pliance is switched off or vice-versa.
N.B.: The overall ventilation condition of
the dwelling must be taken into ac-
count.
If in any doubt, the advice of a compe-
tent builder or, for gas, a “Corgi”instal-
ler must be sought.
If the cooker hood is operated in re-
circulation mode (with active char-
coal filter) then the above restrictions
do not apply.
Disposal of an old machine
or appliance
Before discarding an old machine
or appliance render it useless. En-
sure that disconnection from the mains
supply is carried out by a competent
person and that the cable is also
removed from the appliance to prevent
misuse. Render any plug useless.
The manufacturer cannot be held re-
sponsible for any damage caused
by non-observance of these instruc-
tions.
Warning and Safety instructions

Descripton of the functions
The cooker hood works with
. . . Air extraction:
The air is drawn in and cleaned by the
grease filters and directed outside.
The cooker hood is fitted with a
non-return flap.
This flap is closed when the cooker
hood is switched off. No exchange of
room air and outside air can take
place. When the cooker hood is
switched on the non-return flap opens
for the cooking smells to be blown di-
rectly outside.
. . . Air recirculation:
The air is drawn in and cleaned first by
the grease filters. In addition it is then
cleaned by the active charcoal filter.
The cleaned air is then recirculated
back into the kitchen through a vent in
the top of the cooker hood.
Before using the cooker hood for
the first time, ensure that the active
charcoal filter is in place, see sec-
tion on “Cleaning and care”.

Operation
Notes on the switches
The sliding switch iturns the hob light-
ing on and off.
The sliding switch jturns the fan on
and off.
The sliding switch kselects one of the
four power settings available (1 = low).
Selecting the power level
The sliding switch kcan be used to se-
lect one of four power levels available
depending on how much the air needs
to be filtered. For normal cooking a low
to medium level is usually enough. For
frying or cooking food with a strong
aroma the "IS" intensive level is recom-
mended.

“1”.
N.B. The cooker hood will run at the
power setting most recently selected.
Alter the power setting with sliding
switch kif a different power setting
is required.
After cooking
If the air still needs to be cleared after
cooking, we recommend letting the
cooker hood continue to run for a fur-
ther ten minutes.
Switching off
Set the sliding switch for the fan jto
“0”
Switching the lighting on and off
The hob lighting ican be switched on
and off independently of the fan.
"0" - lighting off
"1" - lighting on
