Technical safety
 Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be
dangerous. Installation, maintenance work and repairs to electrical
appliances must only be carried out by a Miele approved service
technician.
 A damaged appliance can be dangerous. Check it for visible signs
of damage. Do not use a damaged appliance.
 The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing
system. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is
present and tested regularly and, where there is any doubt, the
household wiring system should be inspected by a qualified
electrician.
 Reliable and safe operation of this rangehood can only be assured
if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.
 Before connecting the appliance to the mains supply, ensure that
the connection data on the data plate (voltage and frequency)
matches the mains electricity supply. This data must correspond in
order to avoid the risk of damage to the appliance. Consult a
qualified electrician if in any doubt.
 Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by a
multi-socket unit or an extension lead. Extension leads are a fire
hazard and do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance.
 For appliances with an external motor fitted (...EXT models) the
connection of the two units must be made using the control cable
and the plug connectors.
These models may only be combined with a Miele external motor.

Warning and Safety instructions
7
 For safety reasons, this appliance may only be used after it has
been built in.
 This rangehood must not be installed and operated in mobile
installations (e.g. on a ship).
 Tampering with electrical connections or components and
mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can cause
operational faults.
Only open the housing as described in the installation and cleaning
and care instructions. Under no circumstances should any other
parts of the housing be opened.
 The manufacturer's warranty will be invalidated if the appliance is
not repaired by a Miele approved service technician.
 Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele spare
parts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of the
appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.
 If the mains connection cable is damaged, it must only be
replaced by a Miele authorised service technician in order to avoid a
hazard.
 During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliance
must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply. It is only
completely isolated from the electricity supply when:
– the mains circuit breaker is switched off, or
– it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn from
the socket. Do not pull the mains connection cable but the mains
plug to disconnect your appliance from the mains electricity
supply.

Warning and Safety instructions

Using at the same time as other heating appliances that depend on the air
from the room
Warning - danger of toxic fumes
Great care should be taken when using the rangehood at the same
time and in the same room or area of the house as another heating
appliance which depends on the air in the room.
Such appliances include gas, oil, wood or coal-fired boilers and
heaters, continuous flow or other water heaters, gas cooktops, or
ovens which draw air in from the room and duct exhaust gases out
through a chimney or extraction ducting.
When used in extraction mode, with or without an external motor
fitted, or in recirculation mode with a recirculation box installed
outside the room, the appliance draws air in from the room in
which it is installed and from neighbouring rooms.
If there is insufficient air, an underpressure will occur. The heating
appliance will be starved of oxygen, impairing combustion.
Harmful gases could be drawn out of the chimney or extraction
ducting back into the room, with potentially fatal consequences.

Warning and Safety instructions
9
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 rangehood 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 inlets which cannot be
blocked, in windows, doors or outside wall vents, or by other
technical measures, such as ensuring that the rangehood can only
be switched on when the heating appliance is switched off or vice
versa. A ventilation brick alone is not generally sufficient to ensure
safe ventilation.
The overall ventilation condition of the dwelling must be taken into
account. If in any doubt, the advice of a competent builder, or for
gas a qualified gas fitter (registered with an official gas safety body
in accordance with national safety regulations), must be sought.
If the rangehood is used in recirculation mode, where the air is
directed back into the room in which it is located, operating a
heating appliance which depends on the room air at the same time
is not hazardous.

Warning and Safety instructions
10
Correct use
 Never use an open flame beneath the rangehood. To avoid the
danger of fire, do not flambé or grill over an open flame.
When switched on, the rangehood could draw flames into the filter.
Fat deposits could ignite, presenting a fire hazard.
 The rangehood can become damaged when exposed to excessive
heat.
– When using the rangehood over a gas cooktop, ensure that any
burners in use are always covered by a pan. Switch the cooking
zone off when a pan is removed, even for a short time.
– Select a pan which is suitable for the size of the burner.
– Regulate the flame so that it does not burn up the sides of the
pan.
– Avoid overheating the pan (e.g. when cooking with a wok).
 Always switch the rangehood on when a cooking zone is in use,
otherwise condensation may collect in the rangehood, 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 rangehood on fire.

Warning and Safety instructions
11
 Do not use the rangehood without the filters in place. This way
you will avoid the risk of grease and dirt getting into the appliance
and hindering its smooth operation.
 The rangehood can get very hot during cooking due to heat rising
from the cooktop.
Do not touch the housing or the grease filters until the rangehood
has cooled down.
Correct installation
 Refer to the cooktop manufacturer's instructions as to whether a
rangehood may be operated above the cooktop.
 Safety regulations prohibit the fitting of a rangehood over solid
fuel stoves.
 Insufficient distance between the cooktop and the rangehood can
result in damage to the rangehood.
The minimum safety distances between the top of the cooktop and
the bottom of the rangehood given in the "Installation" section must
be maintained, unless the cooktop manufacturer states that a greater
distance is required.
If more than one cooking appliance is fitted beneath the rangehood,
and they have different minimum safety distances to the rangehood,
select the greater distance.
 The distances given in "Installation" must be observed when
fitting the rangehood.
 All ducting, pipework and fittings must be of non-flammable
material. These can be obtained from builders' merchants.
 The appliance must not be connected 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
12
Cleaning and care
 There is a risk of fire if the rangehood is not cleaned as described
in these operating instructions.
 Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this appliance.
The steam could reach electrical components and cause a short
circuit.
 In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or
other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the machine 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 machine warranty.
Accessories
 Use only genuine original Miele spare parts. If spare parts or
accessories from other manufacturers are used, the warranty will be
invalidated, and Miele cannot accept liability.

Caring for the environment
13
Disposal of the packing
material
The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for
disposal, and can normally be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the
use of raw materials in the
manufacturing process and also
reduces the amount of waste in landfill
sites. Ensure that any plastic
wrappings, bags etc. are disposed of
safely and kept out of the reach of
babies and young children. Danger of
suffocation.
Disposing of your old
appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain materials which, if
handled or disposed of incorrectly,
could be potentially hazardous to
human health and to the environment.
They are, however, essential for the
correct functioning of your appliance.
Therefore, please do not dispose of
your old appliance with your household
waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre.
Ensure that your old appliance presents
no danger to children while being
stored for disposal.

Description of the functions
14
Depending on the model of the
rangehood, the following options are
available:
Air extraction mode
The cooking vapours are drawn in by
the rangehood. The air is then passed
via the edge extraction panel through
the grease filters, cleaned and then
directed outside.
Recirculation mode
The air is drawn in and passed via the
edge extraction panel through the
grease filters and then through two
charcoal filters. The cleaned air is then
recirculated back into the kitchen.
DA 2620 cannot be used as a
recirculation mode rangehood.
Operation with an external
motor
(...EXT model rangehoods)
Rangehoods set up for operation with
an external motor have to be connected
to a Miele external motor located in a
suitable position outside the room in
which the rangehood is installed. The
external motor is linked to the
rangehood via a connection cable and
then operated via Con@ctivity 2.0 or
using the controls on the rangehood.

Description of the functions
15
Con@ctivity 2.0 function
Automatic control
The rangehood has a communication
facility which enables the automatic
operation of the rangehood depending
on the operational state of a Miele
electric cooktop.
For communication to take place, the
cooktop must be fitted with an
appropriate Con@ctivity 2.0 dongle .
Please consult the installation
instructions for the Con@ctivity 2.0
dongle to see if connection to your
cooktop is possible.
In order to be able to use the
Con@ctivity 2.0 function, radio contact
between the cooktop and the
rangehood must be established (see
"Activating Con@ctivity 2.0").
The cooktop transmits information
about its operational status via a radio
signal to the rangehood.
– When the cooktop is switched on,
the cooktop lighting on the
rangehood comes on independently
and, then after a short time, the fan
also comes on.
– During cooking the rangehood
automatically sets the power level
according to the number of cooking
zones in operation and their power
levels.
– After switching the cooktop off, the
fan and the cooktop lighting will
switch off automatically after a
specified period of time.
See "Operation" for detailed information
about this function.

Operation (automatic mode)
18
If Con@ctivity 2.0 is activated, the
rangehood always operates in
automatic mode (see "Activating
Con@ctivity 2.0").
To operate the rangehood manually, see
"Cooking without Con@ctivity 2.0
(manual mode)".
Cooking with Con@ctivity 2.0
(automatic mode)
Switch a cooking zone on at the
power setting you want.
The rangehood lighting will come on.
After a few seconds the fan will come
on, first at power setting 2, then it will
switch immediately to power setting 1.
The rangehood selects the power
setting automatically during cooking.
This is determined by the total output of
the cooktop, i.e. the number of cooking
zones in operation and the power
settings selected.
If you select a higher power setting or
are using several cooking zones, the
rangehood will switch to a higher
power setting.
When you reduce the power setting
or the number of cooking zones on
the cooktop, the rangehood power
setting will also be reduced.
Examples for power levels 1 to 4
Reaction time
The rangehood reacts with a slight
delay because altering the power
setting on the cooktop does not
immediately result in a reduction or
increase in cooking vapours.
Because the cooktop transmits the
information to the rangehood at
intervals, this can also cause delays.
The reaction can vary from a few
seconds to a few minutes.

Operation (automatic mode)
19
Cooking process
If, for example, you switch on a
cooking zone at the highest power
setting to heat a pan for frying and
reduce the power level after approx.
60 to 90 seconds*, a cooking process
is recognised (*60 seconds to 5
minutes for a HiLight cooktop).
The rangehood switches itself on and
when the cooktop power level has been
reduced, the rangehood switches to
power setting 3 and remains at that
level for approx. 5 minutes.
After that the rangehood power setting
is determined automatically by the
Con@ctivity function.
You can select another power setting
manually before then.
Switching off
Switch off all cooking zones.
The rangehood fan will reduce its power
level over the next few minutes and will
eventually switch itself off.
This helps to neutralise any lingering
vapours and odours in the air.
– From the Intensive setting IS the fan
switches immediately to setting 3.
– If the fan is operating at setting 3, it
will switch to setting 2 after approx. 1
minute.
– From setting 2, the fan switches to
setting 1 after 2 minutes.
– After 2 minutes at setting 1, the fan
switches itself off.
– After another 30 seconds, the lighting
switches off.
The cooking process is then finished.

Operation (automatic mode)
20
Leaving automatic mode
temporarily
To leave automatic mode temporarily
during cooking:
Manually select a different power
setting, or
Manually switch the rangehood off, or
Activate the run-on option  on the
rangehood. The fan will switch off
after the selected time and the
lighting remains switched on.
The rangehood functions can now be
operated manually (see "Cooking
without Con@ctivity 2.0 (manual
mode)").
Returning to automatic mode
The rangehood returns to automatic
mode:
if the rangehood has not been used
for approx. 5 minutes after selecting a
power setting manually, or
if the manually selected power setting
corresponds to the automatic one
again, or
if the rangehood fan and the cooktop
have been switched off for at least 30
seconds.
Automatic mode will resume next
time the cooktop is switched on.
If you wish to operate the rangehood
manually for a complete cooking
process, switch on the rangehood fan
before switching on the cooktop.
If the rangehood and the cooktop
have been switched off for at least 30
seconds after cooking, automatic
mode will resume the next time the
cooktop is switched on.
