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.

relevant legal safety requirements.
Inappropriate use can, however,
lead to personal injury and damage
to property.
To avoid the risk of accidents and
damage to the appliance, please
read these instructions carefully
before using it for the first time. They
contain important information on the
safety, installation, use and
maintenance of 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
This 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. 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 local and
national safety regulations. It is most
important that this basic safety
requirement is present and regularly
tested, and where there is in 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).
Installation, maintenance and
repair work may only be carried out
by a suitably qualified and competent
person in accordance with national and
local safety regulations. Repairs and
other work by unqualified persons
could be dangerous. The manufacturer
cannot be held liable for unauthorised
work.
Ensure that current is not supplied to
the appliance until after maintenance or
repair work has been carried out.
This equipment may only be

The appliance is only completely
isolated from the electricity supply
when:
–it is switched off at the wall socket
and the plug removed,
–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 under the cooker
hood. 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".
Do not use a steam-cleaner to
clean this appliance. Pressurised
steam could reach the electrical
components and cause a short circuit.
Warning and Safety instructions

Safety with children
The appliance is only intended for
use by adults who have read these
operating instructions.
This appliance is not a toy! To
avoid the risk of injury keep
children well away and do not let them
play with it or use the controls. They will
not understand the potential dangers
posed by it. They should be supervised
whenever you are working in the
kitchen.
Older children may use the
appliance only when its operation
has been clearly explained to them,
and they are able to use it safely,
recognising the dangers of misuse.
Supervise its use by the elderly or
infirm.
Please be aware that on
appliances with halogen lighting,
the lamps will get very hot during use
and remain hot for some time after
switching off. To safeguard against
burning, keep children well away from
the lamps at all times.
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 or recycle all
packaging materials safely as soon as
possible.
Installation
The minimum safety distance
between the top of the cooker/hob
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 non-Miele cooking appliances,
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
materials. These can be obtained from
the Miele Spare Parts department 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

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 cooker hood 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 hobs, cookers 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 such as carbon
monoxide could be drawn out of the
chimney or extraction ducting back
into the room with potentially fatal
consequences.
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.
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
"Corgi" installer, must be sought.
Warning and Safety instructions
7

If the only way of ensuring adequate
ventilation is via an open window, then
a window contact switch should be
fitted.
The window contact switch ensures that
the cooker hood can only operate when
the window is opened sufficiently. A
window contact switch kit is available
from good builders’ merchants.
Take care when ventilating the room
through an open window that ventilation
is not impaired by a closed blind or
curtain.
If the hood is being operated in
recirculation mode, the above
restrictions do not apply.
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.
Warning and Safety instructions

The cooker hood works with
. . . air extraction:
The air is drawn in and cleaned by the
grease filters and directed outside.
If the on-site ventilation system does
not have a non-return flap, 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 cooker
hood is switched off.
When the cooker hood is switched on,
the non-return flap opens for the
cooking vapours to be ducted away.
. . . air recirculation:
(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 filters and then by a
charcoal filter. The cleaned air is then
recirculated back into the kitchen
through grilles in the top of the cooker
hood extension piece.
Before using the cooker hood in
recirculation mode, ensure that the
charcoal filter is in place. See
"Cleaning and care".
