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
5

The appliance is only completely
isolated from the electricity supply
when:
– it is switched off at the wall socket
and the plug removed, (do not pull on
the cable, only on the plug)
– the mains fuse is withdrawn;
– or the screw-out fuse is removed, (in
countries where this is applicable). En-
sure 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
The appliance is not intended for
use by young children or infirm per-
sons without supervision.
Young children should be supervised
to ensure that they do not play with 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 always covered by a pan.
Otherwise flames could be drawn up
by the suction 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
6

The filters should be regularly
cleaned, or changed, as appropri-
ate.
Saturated filters are a fire hazard.
Some washing-up liquids or dish-
washer detergents may cause the
metal filter to discolour. This discolour-
ation will in no way affect the function
or fitness for use.
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 (when the vapour guide is
completely retracted) must measure at
least:
–45 cm above electric hobs
–65 cm above gas hobs.
(Australia: 60 cm for electric and gas
hobs)
Only for U.K.: The distance of
65 cm between the cooker hood
and a gas hob is a minimum, which is
only permissible if the nominal heat
ratings given in the table below are not
exceeded:
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
7

When using the cooker hood at the
same time as another heating ap-
pliance which depends 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 recir-
culation mode (with active charcoal fil-
ter) then this is not a factor.
only for appliances with external fans
For appliances with an external fan
motor fitted (EXT models) the con-
nection of the two units must be made
using the connection cable and the
plug connectors. Make sure the correct
combination of the two appliances has
been selected.
Disposal of an old machine /
appliance
Before discarding an old machine
unplug it. Render the plug useless.
Cut off the cable directly behind the ap-
pliance to prevent misuse.
The manufacturer cannot be held re-
sponsible for any damage caused
by non-observance of these instruc-
tions.

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-re-
turn 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.
. . . 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".
. . . an external fan
The ...EXT models of cooker hoods are
designed to be connected with an ex-
ternal fan.
The external fan is connected to the
cooker hood by means of a control
cable and is operated by the control
panel on the cooker hood.

Operation
15

Cleaning and Care
Before any cleaning or maintenance
work the cooker hood must be dis-
connected from the mains supply
by
–switching it off at the wall socket
and removing the plug (do not pull
on the cable, only on the plug), or
–the mains fuse is withdrawn, or
–the screw-out fuse is removed, (in
countries where this is applicable).
Housing
The cooker hood housing may be
cleaned using hot water to which a little
mild detergent has been added. Dry
with a soft cloth.
Never use a cleaner which scours
or contains chlorine, acids or soda.
These would damage the surface of
the cooker hood.
A mild, non-abrasive proprietary stain-
less steel cleaner is suitable.
Grease filters
Re-usable metal grease filters are fitted
which remove solid particles (oil, dust,
etc.) from the kitchen vapours, prevent-
ing soiling of the cooker hood.
The grease filters should be cleaned
regularly, but always clean immediately
the grease filter touch control lamp
comes on.
An over-greasy filter is a fire hazard.
Some washing-up liquids or dish-
washer detergents may cause the
metal filter to discolour. This discol-
ouration will in no way affect the
function or fitness for use.
To remove a grease filter press the
hand hold catch towards the middle
of the filter.
Remove the filter.
Clean the filters
–by hand: with a scrubbing brush in
hot water with detergent.
–in a dishwasher: place the filters
with the short side upright in the
lower basket, ensuring the spray
arm is not obstructed.
After cleaning leave the filters to dry
for a while on an absorbent surface
before putting them back in place.
Cleaning and Care
16

When removing the filters for clean-
ing also clean off any residues of oil
or fat from the now accessible hous-
ing to prevent the risk of these catch-
ing fire.
When putting the grease filters back
ensure that the handhold catches
face towards the hob.
Should the grease filters be put back
upside down,insert a small screw-
driver into the slits to disengage
them. Do not let them drop on to the
hob below.
Active charcoal filter
If the cooker hood is connected for re-
circulation, an active charcoal filter
must be inserted in addition to the
grease filters. Charcoal filters absorb
normal kitchen odours.
Remove the grease filters.
Insert the active charcoal filter so
that the catch faces towards the hob.
Always change the active charcoal fil-
ter when the indicator lamp for the
charcoal filter touch control comes on.
Otherwise the cooker hood will cease
to absorb the kitchen odours suffi-
ciently. Replace the filter at least every
3-4 months.
Cleaning and Care
17

Changing a light bulb
Disconnect the cooker hood from
the mains supply by
–switching it off at the wall socket
and removing the plug (do not pull
on the cable, only on the plug), or
–the mains fuse is withdrawn, or
–the screw-out fuse is removed, (in
countries where this is applicable).
Unscrew the fixing screw on the
glass holder by turning to the right or
left.
When doing this, push the glass
cover upwards so that it does not fall
on the hob surface.
Take off the glass holder.
Then take out the glass cover, guid-
ing it downwards at an angle.
Carefully swivel the light tubes down-
wards and pull out to the front.
Change the light tubes and push
back upwards into place.
Put the glass cover back in place
and secure with the glass holder.
