Disposal of the pac ing
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 materi-
als away, please ensure that they are
recycled.
Disposal of your old appliance
Old appliances may contain materials
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.

This appliance conforms to current
safety requirements. Incorrect use
can however lead to personal injury
and damage to the appliance.
Before installation and before using
for the fist time, read the operating
instructions carefully. They contain
important information on safety, in-
stallation, use and maintenance of
the appliance. This way you will
avoid the risk of accidents and dam-
age to the appliance.
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 liable
for damage caused by improper or in-
correct use of the appliance.
Technical safety
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 doubt.
The electrical safety of this appli-
ance can only be guaranteed when
continuity is complete between the ap-
pliance and an effective earthing sys-
tem which complies with local and na-
tional regulations. It is most important
that this basic safety requirement is
tested by a qualified electrician. The
manufacturer cannot be held liable for
the consequences of an inadequate
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 danger-
ous and the manufacturer will not be
held liable.
This equipment is not designed for
maritime use or for use in mobile
installations 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 (do not pull on
the cable, only on the plug), 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 power is not supplied to the
appliance while maintenance or re-
pair 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 op-
erate it. Supervise its use by the elderly
or infirm.
Never use an open flame beneath
the cooker hood. To avoid the dan-
ger of fire, do not flambé or grill under
the cooker hood. 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, 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.
Do not use the cooker hood without
the grease filters in place. This way
you will avoid the risk of grease and dirt
getting into the appliance and hinder-
ing its smooth operation.
The filters should be regularly
cleaned, or changed, as appropri-
ate.
Saturated filters are a fire hazard (see
"Cleaning and care").
Under no circumstances use a
steam-cleaning appliance to clean
this appliance. 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 and other vermin, pay
particular attention to keeping the appli-
ance 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 guarantee.
Warning and Safety instructions
5

Installation
The minimum safety distance be-
tween the top of the cooker / hob
and the bottom of the cooker hood
should be at least:
–550 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
maintain 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 greater 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 material.
These can be obtained from the Miele
Spare Parts department or from build-
ers’ 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, 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), spe-
cial care must be taken as the action of
the cooker hood extracts air from the
room, which these type of heaters need
for combustion.
They could also draw exhaust air back
in from chimneys or ducting in contra-
vention of fire safety regulations.
In order to ensure safe operation, and
to prevent gases given off by the heat-
ing 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 technical measures, such as
ensuring that the extractor can only be
switched on when the heating appli-
ance 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.
Separate instructions are supplied with
the external fan.
Disposal of your old appliance
Before throwing an old appliance
away it must first be made unus-
able. Ensure 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.
The manufacturer cannot be held lia-
ble for damage caused by non-com-
pliance with these 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.
The cooker hood is fitted with a non-re-
turn flap. This flap is closed when the
cooker hood is switched off. No ex-
change 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 di-
rectly outside.
. . . 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 ca-
ble and is operated by the controls 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 fil-
ters and make cleaning more diffi-
cult.
^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 left = 20 hours
2nd lamp from the left = 30 hours
3rd lamp from the left = 40 hours
4th lamp from the left = 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 automati-
cally revert to the "old" data.
Operation
14

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 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
abrasion. Please observe the follow-
ing cleaning instructions:
^All external surfaces and controls can
be cleaned using warm water with a
little washing up liquid applied with a
soft sponge.
^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.
Avoid:
–cleaning agents containing soda, ac-
ids or chlorides,
–abrasive cleaning agents, e.g. pow-
der cleaners or cream cleaners,
–abrasive sponges, e.g. pot scourers
or sponges which have been previ-
ously used with abrasive cleaning
agents.
These will damage the surface material.
Stainless steel
Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned
using a proprietary non-abrasive clean-
ing agent designed specifically 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.
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.
Stainless steel coloured controls
These controls may suffer discolour-
ation 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

Grease 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 filters should be cleaned regularly
(at least every 3-4 weeks) to avoid a
build-up of fat, but always clean imme-
diately the grease filter touch control
lamp comes on.
An over saturated filter is a fire
hazard.
^To take out the grease filters press
the locking clips in towards the mid-
dle of the filter. Holding carefully,
lower and remove the filter.
^Clean the filters
–by hand: with a scrubbing brush in
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 putt-
ing 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 replacing the grease filters make
sure 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 lamp
Disconnect the cooker hood from
the mains supply. Ensure that:
- it is switched off at 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
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 ad-
here to the surface and damage it.
Please follow manufacturer's instruc-
tions.
^To change the halogen lamp first re-
move the outer ring a.
^Then detach the circlip btaking care
that the glass cdoes not fall out.
^The halogen lamp dis fitted to a
push-in connection socket. To re-
place, pull out the old lamp and fit a
new one.
^Replace the cover cand press the
circlip bcarefully into the holder.
^Now replace the outer ring a.
Never use the lighting without the
lamp cover cin place as it has a fil-
ter designed to cut out harmful rays.
