Caring for the environment
Disposal of pac ing material
The transport and protective packa-
ging 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 of safely and
kept out of the reach of babies and
young children. Danger of suffocation!
Rather than just throwing these ma-
terials away, please ensure they are of-
fered for recycling.
Disposal of your old appliance
Old appliances contain materials which
can be reclaimed or recycled. Please
contact your dealer, your waste collec-
tion centre or scrap merchant 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 current
safety requirements. Inappropriate
use could, however lead to risk of
accidents to the user and damage
to the appliance.
Before using this appliance for the
first time read the operating instruc-
tions carefully. They contain import-
ant information on safety, use and
maintenance of the appliance. This
way you will avoid the risk of acci-
dents and damage to the appliance.
Keep these operating instructions in
a safe place and ensure that new
users are familiar with the content.
Pass them on to any future owner.
Appropriate use
The appliance is intended for do-
mestic use only.
The manufacturer cannot be held re-
sponsible for any damage caused by
improper use or by non-observance of
these instructions.
Technical safety
Before connecting the cooker
hood to the mains supply make
sure that the voltage and frequency de-
tails given on the data plate corre-
spond with the on-site electricity sup-
ply, otherwise the appliance could be
damaged. If in doubt consult a quali-
fied electrician.
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 import-
ant that this basic safety requirement is
tested by a qualified 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.
Warning and Safety instructions

The appliance is only completely
isolated from the mains supply
when:
– it is switched off at the fused spur
connection, or
– it is switched off at the wall socket
and the plug has been withdrawn
(do not pull on the cable, only on the
plug), or
– the mains fuse is withdrawn.
Ensure current is not supplied to the ap-
pliance while maintenance or repair
work is being carried out.
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).
Use of the appliance
Do not let small children play with
the appliance or its controls. Super-
vise its use by the elderly or infirm.
When fitted above an open grill the
cooker hood must not be used in
recirculation mode.
Never use an open flame beneath
the cooker hood. 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
filters. 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 a cooking zone is in use,
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 ig-
nite and could set the cooker hood on
fire.
Do not use the cooker hood with-
out the grease filter 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 filter regularly.
An over-greasy filter is a fire ha-
zard.
Under no circumstances use a
steam cleaner to clean this ap-
pliance. Pressurised steam could
reach the electrical components and
cause a short circuit.
Warning and Safety instructions
5

Installation
– The distance between the top of the
cooker/hob and the bottom of the
cooker hood must measure at least:
– 45 cm above electric cookers/hobs,
– 65 cm above gas cookers/hobs,
– 65 cm above a Miele or Imperial
electric open grill.
For other manufacturer’s cooking ap-
pliances maintain the safety distance
as recommended in their Installation
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 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
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) 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.
In order to ensure safe operation, and
to prevent the gases given off by the
heating 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 ap-
pliance 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 compe-
tent builder or, for gas, a “Corgi” instal-
ler (gas installer) must be sought.
If the cooker hood is used in recircula-
tion mode (with active charcoal filters) ,
there are no restrictions.
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 or other vermin will not be
covered by the appliance guarantee.
Appliances with external fans
For appliances with an external fan
motor fitted (EX models) the connection
of the two units must be made using
the connection cable and the plug con-
nectors. Make sure the correct combi-
nation of the two appliances has been
selected.
Separate instructions are supplied with
the external fan.
Disposal 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 re-
sponsible for any damage caused
by non-observance of these instruc-
tions.

Description of the functions
The cooker hood works
. . . by air extraction:
The air is drawn in, cleaned by a pri-
mary filter and then passed through a
secondary filter before being directed
outside.
The cooker hood is fitted with a non-
return flap .
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 cooking smells to be blown di-
rectly outside.
. . . by air recirculation:
The air is drawn in and cleaned first by
the primary filter, then the secondary fil-
ter before passing through an active
charcoal filter. The cleaned air is then
recirculated back into the kitchen
through a vent in the top of the cooker
hood.
Before using the cooker hood for
the first time in recirculation mode,
ensure that the active charcoal filter
is in place. See Section on "Clean-
ing and care".
Description of the functions

Operation
To switch on:
Pull the deflector plate out approx. 5
cm.
Set the fan switch to the required
power level.
You can select one of three power le-
vels depending on how much the air
needs to be filtered.
After coo ing
If the air still needs to be cleared after
cooking, we recommend leaving the
cooker hood running for about another
10 minutes before switching it off.
To switch off:
Set the fan switch to position “0”.
or
Push the deflector plate back in.
The next time the deflector plate is
pulled out the cooker hood will oper-
ate at the power level it was pre-
viously at.
Switching the lighting on or
off
The lighting for illuminating the hob can
be switched on or off independently of
the fan.
To switch the lighting on:
Pull the deflector plate out approx. 3
cm.
Set the light switch to position “1”.
To switch the lighting off:
Set the light switch to position “0”.
or
Push the deflector plate back in.
The next time the deflector plate is
pulled out the lighting will come on
again.
Operation

Cleaning and care
Before any cleaning or maintenance
work the cooker hood must be dis-
connected from the mains supply.
Ensure that:
- it is switched off at the fused spur
connection or
- it is switched off at the wall socket
and the plug has been withdrawn
(do not pull on the cable, only on
the plug), or
- the mains fuse is withdrawn.
Ensure current is not supplied to the
appliance while maintenance or re-
pair work is being carried out.
Housing
The surfaces can be cleaned using hot
water to which a little mild washing-up
liquid has been added. Dry with a soft
cloth.
Never use cleaners which scour or
contain chlorine, acids or soda.
These would damage the surface of
the cooker hood.
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 cooker hood has a primary filter
which is visible on the underside of the
appliance. A secondary filter is situ-
ated above it in the appliance.
The filters should be cleaned regularly
(at least every 3-4 weeks) to avoid a
build-up of fat.
Important! Always clean both filters.
An over saturated filter is a fire
hazard.
Cleaning and care
12

Primary filter
To remove the primary filter pull the
deflector plate out slightly.
Switch the fan off.
Holding the primary filter at the front,
tilt it approx. 3 cm downwards and
then pull it towards you to remove it.
Secondary filter
Pull the deflector plate out to its full
extension.
The secondary filter will now be visible.
Holding it by the handle pull it down-
wards to remove it.
Clean the filters –
–by hand: with a nylon brush in a
mild solution of hot water and wash-
ing 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 functioning 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.
Cleaning and care
13

Replacing the filters
Secondary filter:
Fit the filter into the appliance so that
it hooks into position at the back,
then push it upwards at the front and
make sure it engages in position on
the left and right hand sides.
Primary filter:
Turn the filter so that the red plastic
guides are at the front and facing up-
wards.
With the deflector plate pulled out, in-
sert the primary filter from below and
hold in position.
Press the filter gently upwards and
at the same time push the deflector
plate in. The filter will slide into its
holders.
Cleaning and care
14

Fitting / replacing the active
charcoal filter
For recirculation mode the active char-
coal filter has to be used in addition to
the grease filters. It is designed to ab-
sorb cooking odours.
The active charcoal filter is fitted into a
slot on the front of the appliance hous-
ing.
Active charcoal filters can be obtained
from your dealer or the Miele Spare
Parts Department. Refer to the section
“Technical data”for type and refer-
ence number.
Follow the instructions supplied with
the active charcoal filter when fitting it.
Replace the filter when it no longer ab-
sorbs kitchen odours effectively. It
should, however, be replaced at least
every 6 months.
Cleaning and care
15

Defective lighting
If the lighting does not work the light
tube may need replacing or the starter
could be defective.
Before any cleaning or maintenance
work the cooker hood must be dis-
connected from the mains supply.
Ensure that:
- it is switched off at the fused spur
connection or
- it is switched off at the wall socket
and the plug has been withdrawn
(do not pull on the cable, only on
the plug), or
- the mains fuse is withdrawn.
Ensure current is not supplied to the
appliance while maintenance or re-
pair work is being carried out.
Take out the primary filter as already
described.
Unscrew the fixing screws on the
right and left hand sides of the light
cover. Whilst undoing the screws
hold the cover securely so that it
does not fall onto the hob.
