The ventilation hood offers two modes
of operation:
Air extraction
The air is drawn in and cleaned by the
grease filters and directed outside.
The hood comes equipped with a
non-return flap. The flap automatically
closes when the hood is turned off so
that no exchange of outside air and
room air can occur.
When the hood is turned on, the air
pressure of the exhaust fan
automatically opens the flap blowing
the inside air and cooking odors
outside.
Recirculation mode
(recirculation installation kit available as
an optional accessory)
Air is drawn through the grease filters
and an active charcoal filter. The
filtered air is then recirculated back into
the kitchen through a vent at the top of
the hood’s chimney.
Active charcoal filters may be
purchased from your Miele dealer or
Miele.
Before using the hood in
recirculation mode, ensure that the
active charcoal filter is in place, see
"Cleaning and care".
