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. It is only completely isolated
from the 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 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 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 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
qualified gas fitter (Corgi registered
in the UK) 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.
If in any doubt , the advice of a
qualified builder, gas fitter (Corgi
registered in the UK) or electrician
must be sought.
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".
~The cooker hood can get very hot
during cooking due to heat rising from
the hob.
Do not touch the housing or the grease
filters until the cooker hood 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 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.
~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, cleaned by the
grease filter and then directed outside.
If the on-site ventilation system does
not have a non-return flap, then the
non-return flap supplied with the
appliance must be fitted in the exhaust
socket in the motor unit.
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 cooker
hood is switched off.
When the cooker hood is switched on,
the non-return flap opens for the
cooking vapours to be blown directly
outside.
. . . air recirculation:
(requires a conversion kit and charcoal
filters: see "Technical Data")
The air is drawn in and cleaned first by
the grease filter and then by two
charcoal filters. The cleaned air is then
recirculated back into the kitchen.
Before using the cooker hood in
recirculation mode, ensure that the
charcoal filters are in place. See
"Cleaning and care".

To switch the lighting on and
off
The hob lighting acan be switched on
and off independently of the fan.
"0" - lighting off
"1" - lighting on
To switch the fan on
^Turn switch bfor the fan to "1".
To select a power level
You can select one of three power
levels with switch bdepending on how
much the air needs to be filtered.
Depending on the intensity of the
cooking vapours, levels "1" and "2" are
usually sufficient for normal cooking.
Intensive setting
For short periods of cooking food with
intensive vapours and a strong aroma,
e.g. when searing meat, you may wish
to select the Intensive Setting "IS".
After cooking
If the air still needs to be cleared after
cooking, we recommend letting the
cooker hood continue to run for a
further ten minutes.
Then switch the appliance off.
Switching off
^Turn switch bfor the fan to "0".

A range of Miele branded cleaning and
conditioning agents are available to
order through your Miele Dealer /
Chartered Agent, the Miele Spare Parts
Department, or via the internet on
www.miele-shop.com.
,Before any cleaning or
maintenance work is carried out,
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 an E-cloth, or with
warm water and a small amount of
washing-up liquid applied with a well
wrung-out soft sponge or cloth.
^Wipe the surfaces dry using a soft
cloth.
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.
Grease filter
The re-usable metal grease filter in the
appliance removes solid particles from
the kitchen vapours (grease, dust, etc)
preventing soiling of the cooker hood.
Clean the grease filter when it looks
dirty, and avoid letting it become so
dirty that the filtering effect is inefficient.
To avoid a build-up of fat, it should be
cleaned every 3-4 weeks on average,
but sooner if necessary.
,An oversaturated filter is a fire
hazard.
^To take out the grease filter, release
the locking clip on the filter, lower the
filter 45°, unhook it at the back and
remove it.
Cleaning and care
12

To avoid damaging the filter or the
hob below, make sure you hold the
filter securely at all times when
handling it.
Cleaning the grease filter by hand
^Clean the filter with a soft nylon brush
in a mild solution of hot water and a
small amount of 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 filter in the
dishwasher
^Place the filters as upright as
possible in the lower basket, with the
short sides upright. Make sure that
the spray arm can move freely.
^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 filter to dry
for a while on an absorbent surface
before putting it back in place.
^When removing the filter for cleaning,
also clean off any residues of oil or
fat from the now accessible housing
to prevent the risk of these catching
fire.
When putting the grease filter back in
position, ensure that the locking clip is
visible facing down towards the hob.
^If the grease filter is inadvertently
replaced upside down, insert a small
screwdriver blade into the slit to
disengage the clip.
Cleaning and care
13

Fitting and replacing the
charcoal filters
If the cooker hood is connected for
recirculation, two charcoal filters must
be inserted in addition to the grease
filter. They are designed to absorb
cooking odours and are fitted in the
canopy above the grease filter.
New filters can be purchased from
your Miele Dealer / Chartered Agent
or from the Miele Spare Parts
Department.
See back cover for contact details,
and "Technical data" for the model
number of the filter.
^Before fitting or replacing the active
charcoal filters, the grease filter must
first be taken out, (see previous
section for instructions on how to do
this).
^Unwrap the charcoal filters.
^Insert the charcoal filters into the
canopy.
^Replace the grease filter.
Replace the charcoal filters when they
no longer absorb kitchen odours
effectively.
They should, however, be replaced at
least every 6 months.
Used charcoal filters can be disposed
of with the normal household waste.
Cleaning and care
14

Changing a halogen lamp
Before any cleaning or maintenance
work is carried out, disconnect the
cooker hood from the mains supply.
^Remove the grease filter.
^Remove the charcoal filters if the
cooker hood is being used in
recirculation mode.
,Exercise caution when changing
halogen lamps. They get very hot
during use, and remain hot for some
time after being switched off.
Do not touch the surface directly
when changing a lamp, as grease
particles from your fingers will
adhere to the surface and damage
it. Please follow the manufacturer's
instructions.
^Push down the lighting unit slightly
via the opening in the safety panel.
^The halogen lamp is now accessible
and should be unscrewed
anti-clockwise.
^Replace it with a new halogen lamp
(specification: GU/GZ 10, 230 V,
50 W). Screw the lamp into the
socket and push it upwards.
Please follow the manufacturer's
instructions.
We recommend only using lamps of the
same specification and also made by
the same manufacturer as the ones
being replaced.
^Replace the grease filter and, if being
used in recirculation mode, the
charcoal filters.

Safety distance between hob and
cooker hood
When planning the installation height
of your cooker hood, the minimum
safety distance between the top of a
cooker or hob and the bottom of the
cooker hood is as follows, unless a
greater distance is specified by the
manufacturer of your cooking
appliance:
Electric cookers / hobs:
450 mm (GB), 600 mm (AU, NZ)
Gas cookers / hobs:
650 mm
Electric grill / deep fat fryer:
650 mm
See "Warning and Safety" instructions
for further information.
If this cooker hood is installed above
a Miele Wok CS 1028 CombiSet
appliance, a minimum safety
distance of 760 mm must be
maintained between the burner and
the lower edge of the cooker hood.
Appliance dimensions
16

–When deciding on the safety
distance between the hob and
cooker hood, please note that a
distance of 650 mm above electric
cookers/hobs may be preferable to
give more working space under the
hood.
–Account should also be taken of the
height of the person who will be
using the hood most often. The
person should have sufficient space
to work comfortably at the hob, and
also be able to reach the hood
controls with ease.
– Please be aware that if positioned
too high, extraction will be inefficient.
*Cut-out dimensions
A depth Tof at least 25 mm must be
provided at the back of the building-in
niche.
Appliance dimensions

Fitting the non-return flap
(Air extraction mode only)
^If a non-return flap is not present in
the venting system, the non-return
flap supplied must be fitted onto the
exhaust socket in the motor unit. The
flaps must open upwards.
Building in
The cooker hood is intended to be built
into wall units, cooker hood housing
units, and above breakfast bars or
island areas.
Check prior to installation that the top of
the appliance will be accessible after
installation.
If this is not the case, install the exhaust
ducting and prepare the electrical
connection before installation.
^Place the appliance in the cut-out
from below and align it.
^Secure the cooker hood by the frame
using 3.5 x 16 mm screws.
^Before using the appliance for the
first time, take the grease filters out
and remove the protective foil from
the filter frame. Then replace the
grease filters.

Preparation for extraction
^When using C150 mm ducting,
secure the exhaust connection
supplied to exhaust ducting with
hose clips.
^If using C125 mm ducting, fit the
reducing collar into the exhaust
connection, and secure the exhaust
ducting to the reducing collar with a
hose clip. (See "Connection for air
extraction").
^Place the exhaust ducting on the fan
connection for the cooker hood.
^See "Connection for air extraction" for
further instructions on fitting the
ducting.
Recirculation
If site conditions are not suitable for the
cooker hood to be used with air
extraction, the appliance must be set
up for recirculation.
For this, conversion kit DUU 151
