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 contain materials which
can be reclaimed or recycled. Please
contact your dealer, your local waste
collection centre or scrap merchant
about potential recycling schemes.
Ensure that the appliance presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.

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, 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 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 correspond
to the rating on the data plate, other-
wise the appliance could be damaged
(see "Electrical connection").
If in any doubt consult a qualified elec-
trician.
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 responsi-
ble 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 danger-
ous and the manufacturer will not be
held responsible.
A damaged connection cable must
only be replaced by an approved
and suitably qualified technician.
Warning and Safety instructions
4

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.
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.
Do not use an extension lead to
connect the appliance to the mains
electricity supply.
Extension leads do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance, (e.g.
danger of overheating).
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.
Use
Never use an open flame beneath
the cooker hood. To avoid the dan-
ger 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, 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 filter in place.
This way you will avoid the risk of
grease and dirt getting into the appli-
ance and hindering its smooth opera-
tion.
Clean or change the filters regu-
larly.
An over saturated filter is a fire
hazard. (See "Cleaning and care").
Warning and Safety instructions
5

Under no circumstances use a
steam cleaner to clean this appli-
ance.
Pressurised steam could reach the
electrical components and cause a
short circuit.
Installation
The distance between the top of
the cooker/hob and the bottom of
the cooker hood must measure at least:
– 450 mm above an electric hob or
cooker,
– 650 above a gas hob or cooker,
– 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 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 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 types of heater 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.
If the cooker hood is operated in
recirculation mode the above
restrictions do not apply.
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 appliance
switch off and disconnect it from
the power supply. Cut off and render
any plug useless. Cut off the cable di-
rectly behind the appliance to prevent
misuse.
This should be done by a competent
person.
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 then directed outside.
If the on-site ventilation system does
not have a non-return flap the
non-return flap supplied must be fit-
ted.
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 cook-
ing smells to be blown directly outside.
. . . air recirculation
The air is drawn in and cleaned first by
the grease filter and then by an active
charcoal filter. The cleaned air is then
recirculated back into the kitchen
through vents in the top of the cooker
hood extension piece.
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 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 control
panel on the cooker hood.
