 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.

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

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.
 There is a risk of fire if the rangehood is not cleaned as described
in these operating instructions.
 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.

Warning and Safety instructions
12
 If exhaust air is to be extracted into a chimney or ventilation duct
no longer used for other purposes, seek professional advice.
Cleaning and care
 There is a risk of fire if the rangehood is not cleaned as described
in these operating instructions.
 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.
 Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this appliance.
The steam could reach electrical components and cause a short
circuit.
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
16
Depending on the model of the
rangehood, the following options are
available:
Air extraction mode
The air is drawn in and cleaned by the
grease filter and directed outside.
Non-return flap
The non-return flap is designed to
prevent the exchange of room and
outside air taking place.
The flap is closed when the rangehood
is switched off.
When the rangehood is switched on,
the non-return flap opens for the
cooking vapours to be blown directly
outside.
If the on-site ventilation system does
not have a non-return flap, the non-
return flap supplied must be fitted.
Recirculation mode
(available as an optional extra with a
conversion kit and charcoal filter: see
"Technical Data")
The air is drawn in and cleaned first by
the grease filter and then by a charcoal
filter. The cleaned air is then
recirculated back into the kitchen.

Operation
17
Switching the fan on
For light to heavy cooking vapours
select from power levels 1to 3. For
short periods of strong vapours and
cooking odours, e.g. whilst searing
meat, select the IS (Intensive) setting.
Pull the deflector plate out. For
optimum extraction with minimum
noise levels, always pull the deflector
plate out to its full extent.
Switch the fan on with the fan switch
and select the power level you
want.
Fan run-on after cooking
It is advisable to run the fan for a few
minutes after cooking has finished to
neutralise any lingering vapours and
odours in the air.
Switching the fan off
Push the deflector plate in to switch
the fan off. The next time the
deflector plate is pulled out the
rangehood will operate at the power
level it was at previously.
Alternatively you can slide the fan
switch to 0.
Switching the cooktop lighting
on/off
The cooktop lighting can be switched
on and off with the deflector pushed in
or pulled out and independently of the
fan.
Use the lighting switch to switch
the cooktop lighting on (1) or off (0).

Energy saving tips
18
This rangehood operates very efficiently
and economically. The following will
help you to save even more energy
when using it:
– Ensure that there is sufficient
ventilation in the kitchen when
cooking. In extraction mode, if there
is insufficient air flow the rangehood
cannot operate efficiently and this
causes increased operating noise
levels.
– Always cook with the lowest possible
setting. This produces fewer cooking
vapours, so you can use a lower
rangehood power level and therefore
benefit from reduced energy
consumption.
– Check the power level selected on
the rangehood. A lower power level is
generally sufficient for the majority of
cooking. Only use the intensive
setting when necessary.
– When a large volume of cooking
vapours are being produced, switch
to a high power level in good time.
This is more efficient than operating
the rangehood for longer to try to
capture cooking vapours which have
already been distributed throughout
the kitchen.
– Make sure that you switch the
rangehood off after use.
– Clean or change the filters at regular
intervals. Heavily soiled filters reduce
performance, increase the risk of fire
and are unhygienic.

Cleaning and care
19
Housing
General
The surfaces and controls are
susceptible to scratches and
abrasion.
Please observe the following
cleaning instructions.
Switch the rangehood off before any
cleaning or maintenance work is
carried out.
All external surfaces and controls can
be cleaned using warm water with a
small amount of washing-up liquid
applied with a well wrung-out soft
sponge or cloth.
Do not use too much water when
cleaning the controls.
Water could penetrate into the
electronics and cause damage.
After cleaning, wipe the surfaces dry
using a soft cloth.
Do not use:
– cleaning agents containing soda,
acids, chlorides or solvents,
– abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.
powder cleaners or cream cleaners
and abrasive sponges, as well as pot
scourers or sponges which have
been used previously with abrasive
cleaning agents. These will damage
the surface material.
Important for appliances with
stainless steel surfaces
(This infomation does not apply to the
controls)
Stainless steel surfaces can be
cleaned with a proprietary non-
abrasive cleaning agent designed
specifically for use on stainless steel.
To help prevent re-soiling, a
proprietary conditioning agent for
stainless steel (Original Miele Care
product for stainless steel) can also
be used. Follow the manufacturer’s
instructions on the packaging.
Apply sparingly with a soft cloth
following the instructions on the
packaging.
Important for the controls
Do not leave soiling on the controls
for any length of time.
Otherwise they may suffer
discolouration or damage.
Remove any soiling immediately.
Observe the general notes on
cleaning earlier in this section.
Do not use stainless steel cleaning
agents on the controls.

Cleaning and care
20
Grease filter
The re-usable metal grease filter in the
appliance removes solid particles from
the kitchen vapours (grease, dust, etc.)
preventing soiling of the rangehood.
An oversaturated filter is a fire
hazard.
When to clean the grease filters
The grease filter should be cleaned
regularly (at least every 3-4 weeks) to
avoid a build-up of grease.
Removing a grease filter
The grease filter can fall out when
you are handling it.
This can result in damage to the filter
and the cooktop below.
Make sure you hold the filter
securely at all times when handling
it.
When removing the grease filter do
not tilt it downwards at an angle.
This can damage the retaining pins.
With the deflector plate pushed in,
grip the front of the deflector plate
and hold the grease filter securely.
Whilst holding the grease filter, pull
the deflector plate out as shown.
Then pull the filter downwards to
remove it.
Switch off the fan.
Cleaning the grease filter by hand
Clean the grease filter with a soft
nylon brush in a mild solution of hot
water and a small amount of
washing-up liquid. Do not use
undiluted washing-up liquid.
