Disposal of the pac ing
material
The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for
disposal, and can normally be
recycled.
Packaging (e.g. cling film, polystyrene)
and plastic wrappings must be kept out
of the reach of babies and young
children. Danger of suffocation!
Dispose of or recycle all packaging
materials safely as soon as possible.
Disposal 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.
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 and ensure that it presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.
It should be unplugged or disconnected
from the mains electricity supply by a
competent person. If connected by a
plug, the plug must be rendered
useless and the cable cut off directly
behind the appliance to prevent
misuse. See the "Warning and Safety"
section of this booklet for further details.

instructions carefully. They contain
important information on safety,
installation, use and maintenance of
the appliance. This way you will
avoid the risk of accidents and
damage to the appliance.
Keep these operating instructions in
a safe place and ensure that all
users are familiar with the contents.
Pass them on to any future owner of
the appliance.
Correct usage
The appliance is intended for
domestic use only.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable
for damage caused by improper or
incorrect use of the appliance.
Technical safety
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 get damaged. If in any
doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
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 local and
national regulations. It is most important
that this basic safety requirement is
present and regularly tested. If in any
doubt, the electrical wiring should be
checked by a qualified electrician. The
manufacturer cannot be held liable for
the consequences of an inadequate
earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
Installation work and repairs may
only be carried out by suitably
qualified and competent persons to
ensure safety. Repairs and other work
by unqualified persons could be
dangerous, and the manufacturer will
not be held liable.
This equipment is not designed for
maritime use or for use in mobile
installations such as caravans, aircraft
etc. However it may be suitable for
such usage subject to a risk
assessment of the installation being
carried out by a suitably qualified
engineer.
Warning and Safety instructions

The appliance is only completely
isolated from the electricity supply
when:
–it is switched off at the wall socket
and the plug removed. (Pull on the
plug, not the cable). Or
–the fuse from the fused spur
connection unit is withdrawn. Or
–the screw-out fuse is removed (in
countries where this is applicable).
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
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 filter. 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 ignite and
could set the cooker hood on fire.
Do not use the cooker hood without
the grease 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).
Under no circumstances should a
steam-cleaner be used to clean
this appliance. Pressurised steam
could reach the electrical components
and cause a short circuit.
In countries where there are 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 appliance guarantee.
Warning and Safety instructions
5

Installation
The minimum safety distance
between the top of a cooker or hob
from our range and the bottom of the
cooker hood should be at least:
– 450 mm above electric hobs and
cookers,
– 650 mm above gas hobs and
cookers,
– 650 mm above an open grill
from our range
For cooking appliances not in our range
please maintain the safety distance as
recommended by the manufacturer in
their Installation and Operating
instructions.
If more than one appliance is fitted
beneath the cooker hood, and they
have different minimum safety
distances to the cooker hood, select
the greater distance.
Safety regulations prohibit the
fitting of a cooker hood over solid
fuel stoves.
All ducting, pipework and fittings
must be of non-flammable material.
These can be obtained from the Miele
Spare Parts Department (see back
cover for contact details) 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.
Warning and Safety instructions
6

When using the cooker hood at the
same time as another heating
appliance 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 in which it is installed
and from neighbouring rooms, which
these type of heaters need for
combustion.
They could also draw exhaust air back
in from chimneys or ducting in
contravention of fire safety regulations.
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 extractor
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 and outside wall vents,
or by other technical measures such as
ensuring that the extractor can only be
switched on when the heating
appliance is switched off or vice-versa.
Note: 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 "Corgi"
installer must be sought.
If the cooker hood is operated in
recirculation mode (with a charcoal
filter), the above restrictions do not
apply.
Appliances with external motors
For appliances with an external
motor fitted (EXT models) the
connection of the two units must be
made using the connection cable and
the plug connectors.
Make sure the correct combination of
the two appliances has been selected.
Separate instructions are supplied with
the external motor.
Disposal of your old appliance
Before discarding an old
appliance, 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
liable for damage caused by
non-compliance with these Warning
and Safety instructions.

Operation
9

The cooker hood works with
. . . air extraction:
The air is drawn in and cleaned by the
grease filters and then directed outside.
If the on-site ventilation system does
not have a non-return flap, the
non-return flap supplied must be
fitted.
This flap is closed when the cooker
hood is switched off. No exchange of
room and outside air can take place.
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.
. . . air recirculation:
(with air recirculation conversion kit as
an accessory)
The air is drawn in and cleaned first by
grease filter and then cleaned by active
charcoal filters. The cleaned air is then
recirculated back into the kitchen
through vents in the top of the
appliance.
Before using the cooker hood in
recirculation mode, ensure that the
active charcoal filters are in place,
see section on "Cleaning and care".
Brief description

Before any cleaning or maintenance
work disconnect the cooker hood
from the mains supply. Ensure that:
- 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 fuse has been withdrawn from
the fused spur connection unit, or
- the mains fuse is withdrawn, or
- the screw-out fuse is removed (in
countries where this is applicable).
Housing
Warning: 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
little 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 the into the electronics and
cause damage.
^Wipe dry using a soft cloth.
Avoid:
–cleaning agents containing soda,
acids or chlorides,
–abrasive cleaning agents e.g.
powder cleaners or cream cleaners
and sponges, e.g. pot scourers or
sponges which have been previously
used with abrasive cleaning agents.
These will damage the surface
material.
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 cooker hood.
Clean the grease filter when it looks
dirty, and avoid letting it become so
dirty that the filtering effect is inefficient.
The grease filter should be cleaned
regularly to avoid a build-up of fat,
(approx. 3-4 weeks on average, but
sooner if necessary).
An over saturated filter is a fire
hazard.
If you are unsure about a particular
product or need further advice please
contact your nearest Miele Sales
office. See back page for address.
Cleaning and care

^To take out the grease filter press the
locking clip in towards the middle of
the filter. Holding carefully, lower and
remove the filter. Take care not to let
the filter drop onto the hob below.
Take care not to let the grease filter
fall onto the hob below.
^Clean the filter
–by hand: with a nylon brush, warm
water with a little washing up liquid.
–in a dishwasher: place the filter
with the short side upright in the
lower basket, ensuring the spray arm
is not obstructed.
Note: some dishwasher detergents
may cause the surface of the metal
filter to discolour.
However, this will not affect the
functioning of the grease filter in any
way.
^After cleaning leave the filter to dry
for a while on an absorbent surface
before putting them back in place.
^When removing the filter for cleaning
also clean off any residues of oil or fat
from the now accessible housing to
prevent the risk of these catching fire.
When putting the grease filter back in
position, ensure that the locking clip is
visible facing down towards the hob.
Should the grease filter be put back
upside down:
Insert a small screwdriver into the slits
to disengage it. Do not let it drop on to
the hob below.
Cleaning and care

Fitting / replacing the active
charcoal filters
If the cooker hood is connected for
recirculation, two active charcoal filters
must be inserted in addition to the
grease filter. These filters absorb
normal kitchen odours.
They are fitted in the canopy above the
grease filter.
Active charcoal filters can be
obtained from your dealer or the
Miele Spare Parts Department.
Refer to the section "Technical data"
for type and reference number.
^Before fitting or replacing the active
charcoal filters, the grease filter must
first be taken out, (see previous
section for instructions on how to do
this).
^Unwrap the active charcoal filters.
^Secure the active charcoal filters
using the screws enclosed.
^Replace the grease filter.

Preparation for recirculation
If site conditions are not suitable for the
cooker hood to be used for air
extraction the appliance must be
connected for recirculation.
The following parts, available through
your Miele Dealer or from the Miele
Spare Parts Department are required
for operating the appliance in
recirculation mode:
–Conversion kit for
recirculation mode
(C125 mm):
exhaust grille,
hose, hose clip
– 2 Active charcoal
filters (see
"Technical data")
Connection for recirculation
mode
^When fitting the cooker hood in a wall
unit the exhaust grille bhas to be
fitted in the top of the unit.
^The exhaust connection aand the
exhaust grille bare joined together
using a suitable hose or flexible
ducting c.
If the front of the unit is ceiling height
(i.e, extractor canopies, ceiling
mounted units) then an appropriate
cut-out must be made in the front
panel d.

Danger of toxic fumes.
Please heed the "Warning and
Safety instructions" to avoid the
danger of toxic fumes.
The cooker hood should be installed
according to local building
regulations. Seek approval from the
building inspector where necessary.
–All ducting, pipework and fittings
must be of non-flammable material.
–The extraction ducting should be as
short and straight as possible.
– To ensure efficient air extraction the
diameter of the exhaust ducting
should not be less than 125 mm.
If exhaust ducting with a diameter of
less than 125 mm or flat ducting
were to be used the noise level of
the cooker hood would increase and
extraction would be less efficient.
Only reduce the diameter of the
ducting if absolutely necessary, e.g.
where narrower ducting has already
been installed.
–Only use wide radius bends. Tight
bends reduce the air throughput of
the cooker hood.
–Only use smooth pipes or flexible
hoses made from non-flammable
materials for extraction connection.
–Where ducting is horizontal it must
be laid to slope away at at least 1 cm
per metre.
This is to ensure that condensate
cannot drain back into the cooker
hood.
–If the exhaust air is to be ducted into
the open air, the installation of a
telescopic wall vent is recommended.
–If the exhaust air is to be ducted into
a vent flue, the ducting must be
directed in the flow direction of the
flue.
