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 to the open air 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, an underpressure 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
diameter 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, the advice of a competent builder, or for
gas, a qualified gas fitter should be sought.
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
10
Correct use
 Never use a naked flame beneath the cooker hood. To avoid the
danger of fire, do not flambé or grill over a naked 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.

Warning and Safety instructions
11
 Do not use the cooker hood 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 cooker hood can get very hot during cooking due to heat
rising from the hob.
Do not touch the housing or the grease filters until the cooker hood
has cooled down.
Correct installation
 Refer to the cooker or hob manufacturer's instructions as to
whether a cooker hood may be operated above the cooker/hob.
 Safety regulations prohibit the fitting of a cooker hood over solid
fuel stoves.
 An insufficient safety distance between the hob and the cooker
hood can result in damage to the cooker hood.
The minimum safety distances between the top of the cooker or hob
and the bottom of the cooker hood given in the "Installation" section
of this booklet must be maintained, unless the hob manufacturer
states that a greater safety distance is required.
If more than one cooking appliance is fitted beneath the cooker
hood, and they have different minimum safety distances to the
cooker hood, select the greater distance.
 The distances given in "Installation" must be observed when
fitting the cooker hood.
 Metal parts can have sharp edges which may cause injury.
Wear gloves to protect your hands from being cut.
 Exhaust ducting must be of non-inflammable material. Suitable
material is available from Miele specialist dealers or the Miele Spares
Dept.
 The appliance must not be connected to a chimney or 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 cooker hood is not cleaned as
described in these operating instructions.
 Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this appliance.
The steam could reach electrical components and cause a short
circuit.
Accessories
 Only use genuine original Miele accessories and spare parts with
this appliance. Using accessories or spare parts from other
manufacturers will invalidate the warranty and Miele cannot accept
liability.

Caring for the environment
13
Disposal of the packing
material
The packaging is designed to protect
the appliance from damage during
transportation. The packaging materials
used are selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and should 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.
Disposing of your old
appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain valuable materials. They
also contain specific materials,
compounds and components, which
were essential for their correct function
and safety. These could be hazardous
to human health and to the environment
if disposed of with your domestic waste
or if handled incorrectly. Please do not,
therefore, dispose of your old appliance
with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre for electrical and electronic
appliances, or contact your dealer or
Miele for advice. You are also
responsible (by law, depending on
country) for deleting any personal data
that may be stored on the appliance
being disposed of. Please ensure that
your old appliance poses no risk to
children while being stored prior to
disposal.

Modes of operation
14
Depending on the model of the cooker
hood, the following options are
available:
Extraction mode
The air is drawn in and cleaned by the
grease filters and directed outside.
Non-return flap
The non-return flap is designed to
prevent the exchange of room and
outside air taking place when the
cooker hood is switched off.
The flap is closed when the cooker
hood is switched off.
When the cooker hood 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 in the
exhaust socket in the motor unit.
Recirculation mode
Recirculation mode cooker hoods
require a conversion kit and charcoal
filters (see "Technical Data")
The air is drawn in and cleaned first by
the grease filters and then by the
charcoal filters. The cleaned air is then
recirculated back into the kitchen.
Operation with an external
motor
(...EXT model cooker hoods)
Cooker hoods set up for operation with
an external motor have to be connected
to a Miele external motor located in a
suitable position outside the room in
which the cooker hood is installed. The
external motor is linked to the cooker
hood via a connection cable and then
operated using Con@ctivity 2.0 or via
the controls on the remote control or
the cooker hood.

Modes of operation
15
Con@ctivity 2.0 function
Automatic control
The cooker hood has a communication
facility which enables the automatic
operation of the cooker hood
depending on the operational state of
the hob.
To make use of the communication
facility, the hob must be fitted with a
Con@ctivity 2.0 Stick .
Please refer to the installation
instructions for the Con@ctivity 2.0
stick to check whether it is compatible
with your hob.
To use the Con@ctivity 2.0 function, a
wireless connection must be
established between the hob and the
cooker hood (see "Activating
Con@ctivity 2.0).
The hob transmits information about its
operational status via a wireless signal
to the cooker hood.
– The hob lighting will switch on
automatically.
– With the deflector plate pulled out,
during cooking, the cooker hood
automatically sets the power level
according to the number of cooking
zones in operation and their power
levels.
– After the hob has been switched off,
the cooker hood fan and the hob
lighting will switch off automatically.
See "Operation" for detailed information
about this function.

Operation (Automatic mode)
18
When Con@ctivity 2.0 is activated, the
cooker hood always works in automatic
mode (see "Activating Con@ctivity
2.0").
To operate the cooker hood manually,
see "Cooking without Con@ctivity 2.0".
Cooking with Con@ctivity 2.0
(Automatic mode)
Switch a cooking zone on at the
power level you want.
The cooker hood lighting will come on.
Pull out the deflector plate.
The fan will come on at power level 2.
The cooker hood selects the power
level automatically during cooking.
This is determined by the total output of
the hob, i.e, the number of cooking
zones in operation and the power levels
selected.
If you select a higher power level or
are using several cooking zones, the
cooker hood will switch to a higher
power level.
When you reduce the power level or
the number of cooking zones on the
hob, the cooker hood power level is
also reduced.
Examples for power levels 1 to 4
Reaction time
The cooker hood reacts with a slight
delay because altering the power level
on the hob does not immediately result
in a reduction or increase in cooking
vapours.
Because the hob transmits the
information to the cooker hood at
intervals, this can also cause delays.
The reaction can vary from a few
seconds to a couple of minutes.

Operation (Automatic mode)
19
Cooking process
If for example you switch on a
cooking zone at the highest power
level to heat a pan for frying and
reduce the power level after approx.
60 to 90 seconds*, a cooking process
is recognised (*60 seconds to 5
minutes for a HiLight hob).
The cooker hood switches itself on and
when the hob power level has been
reduced, the hood switches to power
level 3 and remains at that level for
approx. 5 minutes.
After that the cooker hood power level
is determined automatically by the
Con@ctivity function.
You can select another power level
manually before then.
Switching off
Switch off all cooking zones.
The cooker hood fan will reduce its
power level over the next few minutes
and will eventually switch itself off.
This helps to neutralise any lingering
vapours and odours in the air.
– From the intensive setting, the fan
switches immediately to level 3.
– If the fan is operating at level 3, it will
switch to level 2 after approx. 1
minute.
– From level 2, the fan switches to level
1 after 2 minutes.
– After 2 minutes at level 1 the fan
switches itself off.
– After another 30 seconds, the hob
lighting switches off.
The cooking process is then finished.
If the deflector plate remains pulled out,
the cooker hood will switch on
automatically the next time the hob is
switched on:
a few seconds after the hob is switched
on, the cooker hood fan will switch on,
first at level 2 briefly before switching
immediately to level 1. Thereafter
operation will be carried out
automatically.

Operation (Automatic mode)
20
Leaving automatic mode
temporarily
To leave automatic mode temporarily
during cooking:
Manually select a different power
level, or
Manually switch the cooker hood off,
or
Activate the run-on option  on the
cooker hood. The fan will switch off
after the selected time and the
lighting remains switched on.
The cooker hood can now be operated
manually (see "Cooking without
Con@ctivity 2.0").
Returning to automatic mode
The cooker hood returns to automatic
mode:
if the cooker hood has not been used
for approx. 5 minutes after selecting a
power level manually, or
if the manually selected fan power
level corresponds to the automatic
one again, or
if the cooker hood fan and the hob
have been switched off for at least 30
seconds.
Automatic mode will resume next
time the hob is switched on.
If you wish to operate the cooker
hood manually for a complete
cooking process, switch on the
cooker hood fan before switching on
the hob.
If the cooker hood and the hob have
been switched off for at least 30
seconds after cooking, automatic
mode will resume the next time the
hob is switched on.
