Caring for the environment
Disposal of packing material
The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials
which are environmentally friendly for
disposal and can normally be recycled.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings,
bags etc. are disposed safely and kept
out of the reach of babies and young
children. Danger of suffocation!
Rather than just throwing these
materials away, please ensure they are
offered for recycling.
Disposal of your old appliance
Old appliances may contain material
which can be reclaimed or recycled.
Please contact your dealer, your local
waste collection centre or scrap mer-
chant about potential recycling
schemes.
Ensure that the appliance presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.
See the appropriate section in the
Warning and Safety instructions.

Warning and Safety instructions
This appliance conforms to current
safety requirements. Incorrect use
can lead to injury and damage to
the appliance.
Before installation and before using
for the first time read the operating
instructions carefully. They contain
important information on safety, use
and maintenance of the appliance.
This way you will avoid the risk of
accidents and damage to the ap-
pliance.
Keep these operating instructions in
a safe place and pass them on to
any future user.
Correct usage
The appliance is intended for do-
mestic use only.
The manufacturer cannot be held re-
sponsible for damage caused by im-
proper use of the appliance.
Technical safety
Before connecting the appliance
to the mains supply make sure that
the voltage and frequency details on
the data plate correspond with the on-
site electricity supply. This data must
correspond in order to avoid risk of
damage to the appliance. Consult a
qualified electrician if in doubt.
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 respon-
sible for the consequences of an inade-
quate earthing system (e.g. electric
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 dan-
gerous and the manufacturer will not
be held responsible.
This equipment is not designed for
maritime use or for use in mobile in-
stallations such as caravans, aircraft
etc. However it may be suitable for
such usage subject to a risk assess-
ment of the installation being carried
out by a suitably qualified engineer.
Warning and Safety instructions
4

The appliance is only completely
isolated from the electricity supply
when:
– it is switched off at the wall socket
and the plug removed (pull on the
plug, not the cable), or
– the fuse from the fused spur connec-
tion unit 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 supplied to
the appliance whilst 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
Do not let small children play with
the appliance or its controls or
operate it. Supervise its use by the el-
derly or infirm.
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.
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 using the hob.
Other 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 ig-
nite and could set the cooker hood on
fire.
Do not use the cooker hood with-
out the grease filters in place.
This way you will avoid the risk of
grease and dirt getting into the ap-
pliance and hindering its smooth oper-
ation.
The filters should be regularly
cleaned, or changed, as appropri-
ate. Saturated filters are a fire hazard.
Under no circumstances use a
steam cleaner to clean this ap-
pliance. Pressurised steam could
reach the electrical components and
cause a short circuit.
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 appliance guar-
antee.
Warning and Safety instructions
5

Installation
The distance between the top of
the cooker/hob and the bottom of
the cooker hood must measure at least:
– 450 mm above electric hobs and
cookers,
– 650 mm above gas hobs and
cookers,
– 650 mm above an open grill from our
range
For non-Miele cooking appliances main-
tain the safety distance as recom-
mended by the manufacturer in their In-
stallation and Operating instructions.
If more than one appliance is fitted be-
neath the cooker hood and they have
different minimum safety distances to
the cooker hood, select the higher dis-
tance.
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
seek professional advice.
Warning and Safety instructions
6

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.
They could also draw exhaust air back
in from chimneys or ducting in con-
travention of fire safety regulations.
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 extractor 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 in-
lets which cannot be blocked, in win-
dows, doors and outside wall vents, or
by other technical measures, such as
ensuring 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
competent builder or, for gas, a "Corgi"
installer must be sought.
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 your old appliance
Before discarding an old ap-
pliance switch off and disconnect
it from the power supply. Cut off and
render any plug useless. Cut off the
cable directly behind the appliance to
prevent misuse.
This should be done by a competent
person.
The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by non-
compliance with these Warning and
Safety instructions.

Functional description
The cooker hood works
. . . by 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 vapours to
be blown directly outside.
. . . with an external fan
The EXT models are designed to be
connected to an external fan located
outside the room.
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.

3 lamps = 75 %
4 lamps = 100 %
The operating hours completed remain
in memory, even when the machine is
switched off or there is a power cut.
Operation
13

Altering the filter operating
hours counter
The operating hours counter for the
grease filters is set to 30 hours. This
time can be lengthened or shortened.
You can choose from 20, 30, 40 or 50
hours.
–Select a short time if you roast or fry
a lot.
–If you use very little fat for cooking,
select a longer time.
–If, however, you only cook occasion-
ally we recommend that you select a
short time because grease which
has built up gradually over a long
period of time will harden on the
grease filters and make cleaning
more difficult.
Use the On/Off touch control to
switch the fan off.
Press the run-on option touch control
and the grease filter touch control at
the same time.
The indicator lamp for the grease filter
touch control and one of the +/–touch
control lamps will flash.
The +/–touch control lamps show the
time which has been set:
1st lamp from the right = 20 hours
2nd lamp from the right = 30 hours
3rd lamp from the right = 40 hours
4th lamp from the right = 50 hours
Use the +/–touch controls to select
the desired time.
Confirm the selection by pressing
the grease filter touch control.
If the procedure is not confirmed
within 4 minutes of programming
the steps, the cooker hood will auto-
matically revert to the "old" data.
Operation
14

Cleaning and care
Before any cleaning or maintenance
work the cooker hood must be dis-
connected from the mains supply.
Ensure that:
- it is switched off at the wall socket
and the plug has been withdrawn
(do not pull on the cable, only on
the plug), or
–the fuse has been withdrawn from
the fused spur connection unit, or
- the mains fuse is withdrawn, or
- the screw-out fuse is removed (in
countries where this is applicable).
Housing
Warning: The surfaces and controls
are susceptible to scratches and ab-
rasion. Please observe the following
cleaning instructions:
All external surfaces can be cleaned
using warm water with a little wash-
ing up liquid applied with a well
wrung out soft sponge or cloth.
Wipe dry using a soft cloth.
Do not use too much water when
cleaning the controls. Water could
penetrate into the electronics and
cause damage.
Glass surfaces can be cleaned
using a proprietary cleaning agent
for glass.
Avoid:
–cleaning agents containing soda,
acids or chlorides,
–abrasive cleaning agents, e.g. pow-
der cleaners or cream cleaners,
–abrasive sponges, e.g. pot scourers
or sponges which have been pre-
viously used with abrasive cleaning
agents.
These will damage the surface ma-
terial.
E-Cloth
A microfibre "E-Cloth" is available from
the Miele UK Spare Parts Department,
Part number 98013530, which is suit-
able for cleaning surfaces such as
stainless steel, glass, plastic and
chrome without the use of chemicals.
Stainless steel
Stainless steel surfaces can be
cleaned using a proprietary non-ab-
rasive cleaning agent designed specifi-
cally for use on stainless steel.
To help prevent re-soiling, proprietary
conditioning agents for stainless steel
can also be used.
Apply sparingly with an even pressure.
Stainless steel coloured controls
These controls are made of stain-
less steel coloured lacquered plas-
tic and may suffer discolouration or
damage if soiling is left on them for
too long.
Remove any soiling straight away.
Do not use stainless steel cleaning
agents on these types of controls.
Cleaning and care
15

rease filters
Re-usable metal filters are fitted which
remove solid particles (oil, dust, etc.)
from the kitchen vapours, preventing
soiling of the cooker hood.
The grease filters should be cleaned
regularly (at least every 3-4 weeks) to
avoid a build-up of fat but always clean
immediately the grease filter touch con-
trol lamp comes on.
An over saturated filter is a fire
hazard.
To take out the grease filters press
the locking clips in towards the
middle of the filter. Holding carefully,
lower and remove the filter.
Clean the filters
–by hand: with a nylon brush, warm
water with a little washing up liquid.
–in a dishwasher: place the filters
with the short side upright in the
lower basket, ensuring the spray arm
is not obstructed.
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 func-
tioning of the grease filters in any
way.
After cleaning, leave the filters to dry
on an absorbent surface before put-
ting them back in place.
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.
Cleaning and care
16

When putting the grease filters back in
position, ensure that the locking clips
are visible facing down towards the
hob. Should the grease filters be put
back upside down, insert a small
screwdriver into the slits to disengage
them. Do not let them drop on to the
hob below.
After replacing the grease filters,
press the grease filter touch control
for approx. 3 seconds to re-set the
operating hours counter.
The indicator lamp will go out.
If the grease filters are cleaned be-
fore the operating hours counter has
reached its maximum, the grease fil-
ter touch control should be pressed
for approx. 6 seconds to reset the
counter to zero.
Cleaning and care
17

Changing a halogen light bulb
Before any cleaning or maintenance
work the cooker hood must be dis-
connected from the mains supply.
Ensure that:
–it is switched off at the wall socket
and the plug has been withdrawn
(do not pull on the cable, only on
the plug), or
–the fuse has been withdrawn from
the fused spur connection unit, or
–the mains fuse is withdrawn, or
–the screw-out fuse is removed (in
countries where this is applicable).
Exercise caution when changing ha-
logen lamps. They get very hot dur-
ing 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 ad-
here to the surface and damage it.
Please follow the manufacturer’s in-
structions.
To access the halogen light bulb first
remove the lamp cover b.
Pull the old halogen light bulb cout
of the connection socket and re-
place it with a new one.
Replace the lamp cover bcarefully,
making sure it engages securely in
position.
Never use the lighting without the
lamp cover b. It has a filter
designed to cut out harmful rays.
