Warning and Safety instructions
4

Technical safety
~Before installation, check the
rangehood for visible signs of damage.
Under no circumstances should you
use a damaged appliance. A damaged
appliance is dangerous.
~Before connecting the appliance to
the mains supply, make sure that the
voltage and frequency details given on
the data plate correspond with the
on-site electricity supply, otherwise the
appliance could be damaged. Consult
a qualified electrician if in any doubt.
~The electrical safety of this
appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between
the appliance and an effective earthing
system which complies with current
local and national safety regulations. 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.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable
for the consequences of an inadequate
earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
~For safety reasons, this appliance
may only be used when it has been
fully installed.
~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.
Tampering with electrical connections
or components and mechanical parts is
highly dangerous to the user, and can
cause operational faults.
~Installation, maintenance and
repairs may only be carried out by a
Miele authorised person in accordance
with current national and local safety
regulations.
Repairs and other work by unqualified
persons could be dangerous. The
manufacturer cannot be held liable for
unauthorised work.
~Faulty components must only be
replaced by genuine Miele original
parts. The manufacturer can only
guarantee the safety of the appliance
when Miele replacement parts are
used.
~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:
–it is switched off at the isolator, or
–the screw-out fuse is removed (in
countries where this is applicable), or
–the mains fuse is disconnected, or
–it is switched off at the wall socket
and the plug withdrawn.
Warning and Safety instructions
5

~Do not connect the appliance to the
mains electricity supply by a
multi-socket unit or an extension lead.
These do not guarantee the required
safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of
overheating).
~This rangehood must not be
installed and operated in mobile
installations (e.g. on a ship).
~In areas which may be subject to
infestation by cockroaches or other
vermin, pay particular attention to
keeping the appliance 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 warranty.
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, 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 may 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
6

There must be adequate ventilation of
the room when the rangehood is used
at the same time as appliances burning
gas or other fuels.
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 of
0.04 mbar (4 pa) is the maximum
permissible in the room.
Ventilation can be maintained by air
inlets which must not be blocked, in
windows, doors and 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 must be sought.
If the rangehood is being operated in
recirculation mode, the above
restrictions do not apply.
Warning and Safety instructions
7

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
particles drawn into the rangehood
present a fire hazard.
~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.
Regulate the flame so that it does not
burn up the sides of the pan.
Do not allow the pans to overheat
excessively (e.g. when using a wok).
The rangehood can become damaged
when exposed to excessive heat.
~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.
~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 filters should be regularly
cleaned or changed as appropriate.
Saturated filters are a fire hazard. See
"Cleaning and care".
~There is a fire risk if cleaning is not
carried out in accordance with the
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.
~Do not use a steam-cleaner to clean
this appliance. Pressurised steam
could reach the electrical components
and cause a short circuit.
~CAUTION: Accessible parts may
become hot when used with cooking
appliances.
Warning and Safety instructions
8

Correct installation
~Refer to the cooktop manufacturer's
instructions as to whether a rangehood
may be operated above the cooktop.
~The minimum safety distances
between the top of the cooktop and the
bottom of the rangehood given in the
"Appliance dimensions" section of this
booklet must be maintained, unless the
cooktop manufacturer states that a
greater safety 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.
~Follow the cooktop manufacturer's
instructions on the use of flammable
materials over the cooktop when
installing a wood or laminate lightshield
onto the rangehood.
~Safety regulations prohibit the fitting
of a rangehood over solid fuel stoves.
~All ducting, pipework and fittings
must be of non-flammable material.
These can be obtained from Miele or
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.
~Ensure exhaust ventilation complies
with all relevant regulations.
Accessories
~Only use genuine Miele spare parts
and accessories with this appliance. If
spare parts or accessories from other
manufacturers are used, this will
invalidate the warranty, and Miele
cannot accept liability.
The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by
non-compliance with these Warning
and Safety instructions.

The rangehood works with
. . . air extraction:
The air is drawn in, cleaned by the
grease filter and then directed outside.
If the on-site ventilation system does
not have a non-return flap, then the
non-return flap supplied with the
appliance must be fitted in the exhaust
socket in the motor unit.
Having a non-return flap fitted in the
ducting ensures that air, once ducted
to the outside, cannot get back into the
room again.
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.
Please note, the performance of
this rangehood hinges greatly on
the installed ducting to vent the
vapours. Poor choice of ducting
results in poor rangehood
performance. For ducting
recommendations, please refer to
the relevant section in these
operating instructions or contact
a specialised installer.
. . . air recirculation:
(air recirculation conversion kit required)
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.
Charcoal filters are available to order
from Miele or via the internet at
www.miele-shop.com (check availability).
See back cover for contact details and
"Technical Data" for model number.
Before using the rangehood in
recirculation mode, ensure that the
charcoal filter is in place; see
"Cleaning and care".

socket and the plug is removed,
or
– the mains fuse is withdrawn, or
– the screw-out fuse is removed
(in countries where this is
applicable).
,Exercise caution when changing
halogen lamps. They get very hot
during use, and remain hot for some
time after being switched off. Do not
touch the surface directly when
changing a lamp, as grease particles
from your fingers will adhere to the
surface and damage it.
The halogen lamps can also be
damaged if water is used to clean
them.
Wait several minutes after switching
off before beginning cleaning.
Housing
General notes
The surfaces and controls are
susceptible to scratches and
abrasion. Please observe the
following cleaning instructions.
^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.
^Wipe the surfaces dry using a soft
cloth.
Do not use too much water when
cleaning the controls. Water could
penetrate the electronics and cause
damage.
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 housing
(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 prevent immediate resoiling, the
Original Miele care product for stainless
steel can be purchased from Miele or at
www.miele-shop.com (depending on
country). Apply sparingly with a soft
cloth following the instructions on the
packaging.
Cleaning and care
15

Controls
The controls may suffer
discolouration or damage if soiling is
left on them for too long.
Remove soiling straight away.
Observe the "General notes" on
cleaning earlier in this section.
Do not use stainless steel cleaning
agents on the controls.
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.
To avoid a build-up of fat, it should be
cleaned every 3-4 weeks on average,
or sooner if necessary.
,An oversaturated filter is a fire
hazard.
Do not pull the grease filter
downwards to remove while it is at
the back of the canopy.
