Description of functions
14
The following functions are available on
your ventilation hood, depending on the
model:
Extraction mode
The air is drawn in and cleaned by the
grease filters and directed outside.
Non-return flap
A non-return flap installed in the vent
system ensures that when the
ventilation hood is not in operation, the
duct is closed and no exchange of
room and outside air can take place.
The flap is closed when the ventilation
hood is switched off.
When the ventilation hood is switched
on, the non-return flap opens for the
cooking vapors to be blown directly
outside.
In case the on-site vent system does
not have a non-return flap, one is
supplied with the ventilation hood. It
must be installed in the exhaust socket
on the motor unit.
Recirculation mode
Recirculation mode hoods require a
recirculation kit and OdorFree Charcoal
Filters (available as optional
accessories), see “Technical Data” for
more information.
The air is drawn in and cleaned first by
the grease filters and then by the
charcoal filters. The clean air is then
recirculated back into the kitchen.

Operation
15
Turning on the blower
Switch the blower on as soon as you
start cooking. This is to ensure that
vapors are captured right from the start.
Press the On/Off control.
The blower turns on at level 2. The 
symbol and 2 will light up in the blower
level display.
Selecting the power level
Power levels 1 to 3 are available for light
to heavy cooking vapors and odors.

temporarily produced when cooking,
e.g., during searing, select the B
Booster setting.
Select the power level you want by
pressing the  or  control.
Reducing power down from the
Booster setting
If power management is activated
(default setting), the blower
automatically switches back to level 3
after 5minutes.
Delayed shut-down
It is advisable to run the blower for a
few minutes after cooking has

control.
The symbol will light up when the
overhead lighting is turned on.
Power management
The ventilation hood is equipped with a
power management system. Power
management helps to save energy. It
ensures that the blower power level is
reduced automatically and that the
lighting is switched off.
– If the booster level is selected, the
blower automatically switches to
level 3 after 5 minutes.
– If the blower is set to level 3, 2, or 1,
it switches back one blower setting
after 2 hours and then in 30-minute
intervals until the blower eventually
switches off.
– The overhead lighting will switch off
automatically after 12hours.

Operation

12hours if it has been left on (blower
and overhead lighting).
To switch it back on, press the On/
Off control or the lighting
control.

Energy-saving tips
17
This hood operates in a very efficient
and energy-saving manner. The
following will help you to save even
more energy when using it:
– Ensure that there is sufficient
ventilation in the kitchen when
cooking. If there is insufficient air flow
during extraction mode, the hood
cannot operate efficiently, causing
increased operating noise levels.
– Always cook with the lowest possible
setting. This produces fewer cooking
vapors so that you can use a lower
hood power level and therefore
benefit from reduced energy
consumption.
– Check the power level selected on
the hood. A lower power level is
generally sufficient for the majority of
cooking. Only use the booster level
when necessary.
– When a large volume of cooking
vapors are being produced, switch to
a high power level in good time. This
is more efficient than operating the
hood for longer to try to capture
cooking vapors that have already
been distributed throughout the
kitchen.
– Make sure that you switch off the
hood after use.
– Clean or change the filters at regular
intervals. Heavily soiled filters reduce
performance, increase the risk of fire
and are unhygienic.

Cleaning and care
18
Before proceeding with any
maintenance or cleaning task, the
ventilation hood must be
disconnected from the power supply,
see “IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS”.
Stainless steel housing
General information
Unsuitable cleaning agents can
damage the surfaces and control
elements.
Do not use any cleaning agents
containing soda, acid, chloride, or
solvent.
Do not use any 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
Moisture in the ventilation hood
can cause damage.
Make sure that water does not get
into the ventilation hood.
Clean all surfaces and control buttons
using a small amount of warm water
and liquid dish soap. Apply with a
sponge cloth.
After cleaning, wipe the surfaces dry
using a soft cloth.
Important information for appliances
with stainless steel surfaces
This information does not apply to the
control buttons.
Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned
with a non-abrasive cleaning agent
designed specifically for use on
stainless steel.
To prevent the surfaces from quickly
becoming dirty again, we recommend
treating them with a stainless steel care
product (available from Miele).
Important information for the
controls
If soiling is not removed promptly, it
could cause the control elements to
alter or discolor.
Remove soiling immediately.
The surface of the control elements
can become damaged if they are
cleaned using stainless steel
cleaning agents.
Do not use stainless steel cleaning
agents on the control elements.

Cleaning and care
19
Grease filters
The re-usable metal grease filters in the
appliance remove solid particles
(grease, dust, etc.) from the kitchen
vapors, preventing soiling of the
ventilation hood.
The grease filters must be cleaned at
regular intervals.
Heavily soiled grease filters hinder air
extraction and will lead to increased
levels of soiling in the ventilation hood
and in the kitchen.
Risk of fire
Oversaturated grease filters are a fire
hazard.
Clean the grease filters at regular
intervals.
Cleaning intervals
Accumulated grease solidifies over a
longer period of time and makes
cleaning more difficult. The grease
filters should therefore be cleaned every
3 to 4 weeks.
Removing the grease filters
When handling the grease filter,
be careful not to drop it.
This can result in damage to the filter
and the cooktop below.
Make sure you hold the filter securely
at all times when handling it.
To remove a grease filter, release the
locking clip. Then, open the filter to a
45° angle, unhook it, and remove it
from the hood.
Cleaning the grease filters by hand
Clean the filters with a soft nylon
brush in a mild solution of hot water
and dish soap. Do not use undiluted
dish soap.
Unsuitable cleaning agents
Unsuitable cleaners can cause damage
to the filter surfaces if used regularly.
Do not use any of the following:
– Lime removers
– Abrasive powders or abrasive liquids
– Aggressive all-purpose cleaners and
degreaser sprays
– Oven sprays
Cleaning the grease filters in a
dishwasher
Place the grease filters upright or
slightly inclined in the lower basket.
Ensure the spray arm is not
obstructed.

Cleaning and care
20
Use a commonly available household
dishwashing detergent.
In a Miele dishwasher use the
“Normal” program.
Depending on the detergent used,
cleaning the filters in a dishwasher
may cause the inside filter surfaces to
become discolored. However, this will
not affect the functioning of the grease
filters in any way.
After cleaning
After cleaning, leave the filters on an
absorbent surface to dry.
When removing the filters for
cleaning, also clean off any
accessible oil or fat buildup from the
housing. Doing so will prevent a fire
hazard.
Reinstall the grease filters. When
inserting the filters, make sure that
the locking clip is facing down.
If the filters have been installed
incorrectly, you can insert a small
screwdriver into the slit to disengage
the locking clip.
OdorFree Charcoal Filter
With recirculation mode, two charcoal
filters must be installed in addition to
the grease filters. These are designed to
absorb cooking odors.
The charcoal filters are installed in the
canopy above the grease filters.
Charcoal filters are available to order via
the Miele Web Store, Miele Technical
Service (see end of this manual for
contact details), or from your Miele
dealer.
You will need to order a DKF19-1
charcoal filter set. This set contains
two charcoal filters.
How to install/replace a charcoal
filter
Before fitting or replacing a charcoal
filter, the grease filters must first be
taken out (see previous section for
instructions on how to do this).
Remove the charcoal filters from their
packaging.
