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– the main fuse is withdrawn, or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tion unit is withdrawn, or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):
–Light on.
–Power level II.
The fan motor can be switched off by
pressing the left hand power level con-
trol. To switch on again, press the right
hand control.
Selecting the power level
Depending on how much the air needs
to be filtered, there are four power
levels available. For normal cooking a
low to medium level is usually suffi-
cient. For frying or cooking food with a
strong aroma the fourth level (intensive
setting) is recommended.
Setting the power level manually:
low setting Intensive setting
Select the power level required by
pressing the left or right touch con-
trol.
The indicator lamps show which power
level has been chosen.
Setting the power level automatically:
Press the "AUTO" touch control.
The indicator lamp for the touch control
comes on. The power setting can now
be regulated by drawing down the ca-
nopy or pushing it up.

With automatic operation the power set-
ting can also be altered manually.
Use the power level control to select
the setting required.
Whatever the position of the canopy
the fan will switch to the power setting
selected.
If you bring the canopy to the
position which corresponds to the
manually selected setting, the
appliance will revert to "AUTO"
operation.
Run-on option
If the air still needs to be cleared after
cooking, the cooker hood can be set to
continue running.
The fan will then switch off automati-
cally after a further 5 or 15 minutes.
Press the run-on option touch control:
Press once = 5 minutes run-on time
(left hand indicator lamp)
Press twice = 15 minutes run-on time
(right hand indicator lamp)
To deactivate the run-on option time,
press the run-on option touch control
until both the control lamps go out.
Switching off
You can switch the fan off by either
repeatedly pressing the left hand
control until all the indicator lamps
go out,
or
Pushing the canopy up.
The next time the canopy is pulled
down, the fan will run at power level
II.
Switching the lighting on and
off
The hob lighting can be switched on
and off independently of the fan.
Draw the canopy down slightly.
Press the lighting touch control
To switch the lighting off either press

Filter operating hours counter
The number of hours the appliance has
been in operation is stored in memory.
The indicator lamp for the grease filter
control will light up after 30 hours of
operation. The grease filters must then
be cleaned.
After the grease filters have been
cleaned and put in place, the filter oper-
ating hours counter must be re-set.
To do this, press the grease filter
touch control and hold for about 4
seconds.
The indicator lamp will go out.
Reading the filter operating
hours counter
To check the percentage of time set al-
ready used:
Switch the fan on.
Press the grease filter touch control.
One or several of the power level touch
controls will flash.
The number of flashing lamps shows
the percentage of the operating time
which has already been used up.
1 lamp = 25 %
2 lamps = 50 %
3 lamps = 75 %
4 lamps = 100 %
The number of operating hours used re-
mains in the memory, even when the
appliance is switched off or there is a
power cut.
Operation
12

Altering the filter operating
hours counter
The operating hours counter for the
grease filters is set at 30 hours. This
can be lengthened or shortened to suit
the type of cooking that you do . 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 you only cook occasionally we re-
commend 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.
Procedure:
Pull down the canopy into the "fan
position".
Switch off the fan by pressing the left
hand power level touch control.
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 control
lamps for the power level touch control
will flash.
The power level 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 power level touch control 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.

Power cut
If there is a power cut while the canopy
is pulled down, the Automatic function
is cancelled.
Restore as follows:
Push the canopy right back in (until
a resistance is felt).
Draw the canopy back down again
until the desired power level position
is reached.
Operation

Cleaning and care
Before any cleaning or maintenance
work the cooker hood must be dis-
connected from the mains. Ensure
current is not supplied to the ap-
pliance while maintenance work is
being carried out.
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
connection unit is withdrawn, or
–the screw-out fuse is removed in
countries where this is applicable.
Extension leads do not guarantee
the required safety of the appliance
(e.g. danger of overheating).
Housing
Warning: The surfaces are suscep-
tible to scratches and abrasion.
Please observe the following clean-
ing instructions:
All external surfaces and controls
can be cleaned using warm water
with a little washing up liquid applied
with a well wrung out soft sponge or
cloth.
Wipe dry using a soft cloth.
Avoid:
–cleaning agents containing soda,
acids or chlorides,
–abrasive cleaning agents, e.g. pow-
der cleaners and cream cleaners.
–abrasive sponges, e.g. pot scourers
or sponges which have been pre-
viously used with abrasive cleaning
agents. These will damage the sur-
face material.
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.
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.
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 grease filters should be cleaned
regularly (at least every 3-4 weeks) to
avoid a built-up of fat but always clean
immediately the grease filter touch
control lamp comes on.
An over saturated filter is a fire
hazard.
Cleaning and care
15

To remove the upper grease filter
push the filter hand hold to the back,
and remove downwards.
To remove the lower grease filters take
hold of each one by the filter hand hold
and remove downwards.
Clean the filters
–by hand: with a nylon 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 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.
After replacing the grease filters,
press the grease filter touch control
for approx. 4 seconds to re-set the
operating hours counter.
Setting the shock absorber:
If after a period of protracted use it
becomes necessary to adjust the
shock absorber of the adjustable
canopy, proceed as follows:
Dismantle the shelf and the side pa-
nels on both sides of the appliance
(see "Installation").
The shock absorber can be adjusted
by turning the screw in the upper
bracket of the shock absorber.
Turning it to the left increases the
shock absorption, turning it to the
right reduces it.
Adjust the screws equally on both
sides until the canopy moves up and
down as required.
When doing this take care that the
screws do not come out altogether.
Replace the side panels and shelf.

Electrical connection
All electrical work should be under-
taken by a suitably qualified and
competent person in strict accord-
ance with national and local safety
regulations.
Installation, repairs and other work
by unqualified persons could be
dangerous. The manufacturer can
not be held responsible for unauth-
orised work.
Ensure power is not supplied to the
appliance while installation or repair
work is being carried out.
The cooker hood is supplied for con-
nection to an a.c. 230 V single phase
50 Hz supply.
The voltage, rated load and fusing are
given on the data plate. This is visible
when the grease filters have been
removed. Ensure that these match the
household mains supply.
Connection should be made either by a
double pole fused spur connection
unit, or a fused plug and a suitable
switched socket. The On-Off switch
should be easily accessible after the
appliance has been built in.
When switched off there must be an all-
pole contact gap of 3 mm in the switch
(including switch, fuses and relays
according to EN 60 335).
If the socket is not accessible after
installation (depending on country) an
additional means of disconnection
must be provided for all poles.
For extra safety it is advisable to install
a residual current device (RCD) with a
trip current of 30 mA (in accordance
with DIN VDE 0664, VDE 0100 Section
739).
Do not connect via an extension lead.

Important UK
If the appliance is fitted with a non-re-
wireable plug (BS 1363 UK) and the
socket outlets are not suitable for the
plug supplied, or if the existing plug
needs to be replaced by a new one,
the old plug will need to be cut off and
an appropriate plug fitted. The fuse car-
rier and the fuse should be removed
from the old plug and disposed of. The
plug cut from the cable should then be
disposed of, and on no account be in-
serted into any socket elsewhere in the
house (electric shock hazard).
The fuse cover must be re-fitted when
changing the fuse and if the fuse cover
is lost the plug must not be used until a
suitable replacement is obtained.
The colour of the correct replacement
cover is that of the coloured insert in
the base of the plug or the colour that
is embossed in words in the base of
the plug (as applicable to the design of
plug fitted).
The correct fuse rating of the replace-
ment fuses that are ASTA approved to
BS 1362 should be fitted. Replacement
fuse covers may be purchased from
your local electrical suppliers or Ser-
vice agent.
Important
The wires in the mains lead are col-
oured in accordance with the following
code:
Green/yellow = earth
Blue = neutral
Brown = live
If the appliance is to be connected via
a plug and socket, please note the fol-
lowing:
As the colours of the wires in the mains
lead of this appliance may not corre-
spond with the coloured markings
identifying the terminals in your plug,
proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured green
and yellow must be connected to the
