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. This 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
Air is drawn through the grease filters
and active charcoal filters. The filtered
air is then recirculated back into the
kitchen.
The active charcoal filter and the
installation kit may be purchased from
Miele.
Before using the hood in
recirculation mode, ensure that the
active charcoal filters are in place,
see "Cleaning and Care".

,WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR
INJURY TO PERSONS,
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
Before cleaning or servicing the
hood, disconnect it from the power
supply, see "Important Safety
Instructions".
,The halogen bulbs are very hot
when in use. They stay hot for some
time after turned off. Use caution,
danger of burns.
Wet cleaning the hot bulbs will
cause damage.
Wait a few minutes after turning
them off before cleaning.
Cleaning the casing
Never use abrasive cleaners,
scouring pads, steel wool or caustic
(oven) cleaners on the hood. They
will damage the surface.
^All external surfaces and controls can
be cleaned with a mild solution of
warm water and liquid dish soap
applied with a soft sponge.
Do not use too much water when
cleaning the controls. Water could
penetrate 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 or cream cleansers,
–abrasive sponges, e.g. pot scourers
or sponges which have been
previously used with abrasive
cleaning agents.
These will damage the surface.
The following instructions for cleaning
"Stainless steel" surfaces and "Stainless
steel colored controls" should be
followed in addition to the general
"Cleaning the casing" instructions.
Special instructions for stainless steel
surfaces (not applicable to the controls)
Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned
using a non-abrasive stainless steel
cleaner.
To help prevent resoiling, a conditioner
for stainless steel can be applied.
Special instructions for colored
casings (RAL) (Special order)
It is very difficult to clean this type of
surface without causing minor marks to
the surface material. This can become
particularly noticeable with darker
colors and if there is halogen lighting in
the kitchen.
Stainless steel colored controls
These controls may become dis-
colored or damaged if not cleaned
regularly. Do not use a stainless
steel cleaner on these controls.
Cleaning and Care
12

Grease filters
The reusable metal grease filters in the
hood remove solid particles from the
vented kitchen air (grease, dust, etc)
and prevent soiling of the ventilation
system.
The grease filters should be cleaned
every3-4weeks.
,A dirty filter is a fire hazard.
^To remove the grease filter pull the
locking clips forward 1., lower the
filter down 45° 2., unhook it at the
rear 3., and take it out.
Support the grease filter so that it
does not fall and damage the
cooktop.
Cleaning the grease filter
^By hand: use a scrub brush with a
solution of warm water and mild
detergent.
Do not use the pure detergent,
aggressive all purpose cleaners,
oven sprays, abrasive cleaning
agents or limescale removers. They
could destroy the filter.
^In a dishwasher: place the filter
vertically in the lower basket, making
sure that the spray arm is not
blocked.
Use a wash program with a max.
temperature of 150°F (65°C). In a
Miele dishwasher use the "Normal"
program.
Use the recommended amount of
dishwasher detergent. Overuse could
destroy the filter.
Depending on the detergent,
cleaning the grease filter in a
dishwasher may cause permanent
discoloration of the filter surface.
Performance of the filter will not be
affected by this discoloration.
^After cleaning, the filter can be
placed on a towel to air dry.
^While the filters are removed, clean
any dirt or grease from the filter
casing.
Cleaning and Care
13

^When putting the grease filters back
make sure that the locking clips are
visibly facing the cooking surface
^If the filters are incorrectly installed,
insert a small screwdriver into the slit
along its edge to disengage it from
the casing.
Active charcoal filter
In recirculation mode an active
charcoal filter must be used in addition
to the grease filters. It is designed to
absorb cooking odors.
The active charcoal filter will be
replaced in the canopy above the
grease filters.
Replacement active charcoal filters
can be ordered from Miele.
^To install or replace the charcoal
filter, the grease filters must first be
removed as described in the
previous section.
^Remove the charcoal filter from the
packaging.
^Insert the charcoal filter into the
canopy.
^Replace the grease filters.
Replace the active charcoal filter at
least every 6 months or when they no
longer absorb odors efficiently.
Used charcoal filters may be discarded
in household trash.
