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.

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 statu-
tory 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 competent person 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 important that this basic
safety requirement is tested by a quali-
fied 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 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.
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 main fuse is withdrawn, or
– the fuse from the fused spur connec-
tion unit is withdrawn, or
– the screw-out fuse is removed in
countries where this is applicable.
Warning and Safety Instructions
4

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).
Ensure power is not supplied to the
cooker hood while maintenance or re-
pair work is being carried out.
Use
Do not let small children play with
the appliance or its controls or
operate it. Supervise its use by the el-
derly and infirm.
Never use an open flame beneath
the cooker hood. To avoid the
danger of fire, do not flambéor grill
dishes.
When switched on the cooker hood
could draw flames into the filter. Fat par-
ticles drawn into the cooker hood pres-
ent a fire hazard.
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.
Overheated oil and fat can ignite 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.
Clean or change the filters regu-
larly. An over saturated filter is 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.
Installation
The cooker hood can only be in-
stalled above an electric hob.
Safety regulations prohibit the fitting of
this cooker hood over a gas hob, a
solid fuel stove or an open grill (elec-
tric).
The distance between the top of
the hob and the bottom of the
cooker hood (when the canopy is com-
pletely withdrawn) must measure at
least 50 cm.
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
5

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 en-
suring that the extractor can only be
switched on when the heating appliance
is switched off or vice-versa.
N.B: The overall ventilation condition of
the dwelling must be taken into account.
If in any doubt, the advice of a compe-
tent builder or, for gas, a "Corgi" installer
must be sought
In countries where there are areas
which may be subject to infesta-
tion by cockroaches or other vermin,
pay particular attention to keeping the
appliance and its surroundings in a
clean condition at all times. Any dam-
age which might be caused by cock-
roaches and other vermin will not be
covered by the appliance guarantee.
isposal 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.

Operation
Switching on
When the canopy is pushed right up
(retracted), the cooker hood is
switched off and cannot be operated.
To be switched on the canopy must be
pulled down slightly.
When the canopy is pulled down a few
centimetres to the "light position" the
hob illumination can be switched on or
off.
When the canopy is pulled down fur-
ther ("fan position") all the other func-
tions can be activated.
The first time the cooker hood is
switched on and the canopy pulled
down it will run as follows (factory set-
ting):
