Warning and Safety instructions
4
This cooker hood complies with all relevant local and national
safety requirements. Inappropriate use can, however, lead to
personal injury and material damage.
Read the operating and installation instructions carefully before
using the cooker hood. They contain important information on its
safety, installation, use and maintenance. This prevents both
personal injury and damage to the cooker hood.
In accordance with standard IEC60335-1, Miele expressly and
strongly advises that you read and follow the instructions in the
chapter on installing the appliance as well as the safety
instructions and warnings.
Miele cannot be held liable for injury or damage caused by non-
compliance with these instructions.
Keep these instructions in a safe place and pass them on to any
future owner.
Correct application
 This cooker hood is intended for use in domestic households and
similar working and residential environments.
 The cooker hood is not intended for outdoor use.
 It must only be used as a domestic appliance to extract vapours
and remove odours from cooking.
Any other usage is not supported by the manufacturer and could be
dangerous.
 Where a recirculation cooker hood is fitted above a gas hob,
please ensure that there is an adequate supply of fresh air into the
room in which it is installed. Please seek the advice of a qualified gas
fitter (e.g. GasSafe in the UK) for more information if necessary.

Warning and Safety instructions
5
 The cooker hood can only be used by people with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, if they are supervised whilst using it, or have been
shown how to use it in a safe way and recognise and understand the
consequences of incorrect operation.
Safety with children
 Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the cooker
hood unless they are constantly supervised.
 Children aged 8 and older may only use the cooker hood without
supervision if they have been shown how to use it and are able to do
so in a safe manner. Children must be able to understand and
recognise the possible dangers caused by incorrect operation.
 Children must not be allowed to clean or maintain the cooker
hood unsupervised.
 Please supervise children in the vicinity of the cooker hood and do
not let them play with it.
 The hob lighting is very intensive.
Ensure, in particular, that babies/small children do not look at the
light.
 Danger of suffocation! Whilst playing, children may become
entangled in packaging material (such as plastic wrapping) or pull it
over their head with the risk of suffocation. Keep packaging material
away from children.
 Keep the battery for the remote control out of the reach of
children.

Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety
 Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can cause
considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance and
repairs must only be carried out by a Miele authorised 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 correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety
requirement is met. If in any doubt please have the electrical
installation tested by a qualified electrician.
 Reliable and safe operation of this cooker hood can only be
assured if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.
 The connection data (voltage and frequency) on the data plate of
the cooker hood must match the mains electricity supply in order to
avoid the risk of damage to the cooker hood
Compare this before connecting the appliance to the mains. 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. These are a fire hazard and
do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance.
 EXT/EXTA model cooker hoodsare connected to their external
motor using a special connection cable and plug connectors.
These appliances may only be combined with a Miele external
motor.
 For safety reasons, this appliance may only be used after it has
been built in.
 The cooker hood must not be used in a non-stationary location
(e.g. on a ship).

Warning and Safety instructions
7
 Touching electrical components and tampering with electrical and
mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can cause
operational faults.
Only open the housing as described in the instructions given in the
installation sheet and in the Cleaning and care section of this
booklet. 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.
 Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when
genuine original Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty
components must only be replaced by Miele spare parts.
 During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliance
must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply.

Warning and Safety instructions

Using at the same time as another heating appliance that depends on the air
from the room
Danger of toxic fumes!
Great care should be taken when using the cooker hood in the
same room or the same area of the house at the same time as
another heating appliance that depends on the air from the room.
Such heating appliances draw in air from the room and duct
exhaust gases out through a chimney or extraction ducting. They
include gas, oil, wood and coal-fired boilers and heaters,
continuous flow or other water heaters, gas hobs and ovens.
The cooker hood draws in air from the kitchen and from
neighbouring rooms. This applies to the following modes of
operation:
– extraction mode
– extraction mode with an external motor
– recirculation mode with a recirculation box installed outside the
room
If there is insufficient air, negative pressure will occur. The heating
appliance may be starved of oxygen. This impairs combustion.
Harmful gases could be drawn from the chimney or extraction
ducting back into the room.
Risk of death!

Warning and Safety instructions
9
In order to ensure safe operation and to prevent gases given off by
the heating appliance from being drawn back into the room when
the cooker hood and the heater are both operated simultaneously,
an underpressure in the room of 0.04mbar (4Pa) is the maximum
permissible.
Sufficient ventilation can be maintained by air inlets which cannot
be blocked, e.g. in windows, doors and outside wall vents. The
cross-section of the inlet openings must enable sufficient
ventilation. 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, seek the advice of a competent building
regulations inspector or qualified gas fitter (GasSafe in the UK).
If the cooker hood is being operated in recirculation mode,
whereby the air is redirected into the room in which it is installed,
the above restrictions do not apply.

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use
 Open flames are a fire hazard.
The use of an open flame under the cooker hood is not permitted. To
avoid the danger of fire, do not flambé or grill over an open flame.
When switched on, the cooker hood could draw flames into the filter.
Fat deposits could ignite, presenting a fire hazard.
 The cooker hood can become damaged when exposed to
excessive heat.
– When using the cooker hood over a gas hob, 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 cooker hood on when a cooking zone is in use,
otherwise condensation may collect in the hood, which could cause
corrosion.
 Overheated oil and fat can ignite, causing fire damage to the
cooker hood.
When cooking with oil or fat, chip pans and deep fat fryers, etc, do
not leave the pans unattended. Similarly, never leave an open grill
unattended when grilling.
