To reduce the risk of fife onJy
use metal ductwork.
When installing the hood, follow the
recommendedm,n,mumsafety
distances between a Miele cooktop and
the hood:
- 22" (55 cm) above electric cooktops,
- 26" (65 cm) above gas cooktops,
- 26" (65 cm) above an open grill.
If local building codes require a greater
safety distance, follow their
requiremenL
For non-Miele cooking appliances
maintain the safety distances
recommended by the appliance
manufacturer.
If there is more than one appliance
beneath the hood and they have
different minimum safety distances
always select the greater distance.
Be careful not to damage hidden
or
electrical wiring plumbing when
cutting or drilling into the wall or ceiling.
Do not use an extension cord to
connect the appliance to electricity.
Extension cords do not guarantee the

Any fittings, sealant, or materials
usedtoinstalltheductworkmust
be made of approved non-flammable
materials.
Never connect an exhaust hood to
an active chimney, dryer vent, vent

professional advice before connecting
an exhaust hood vent to an existing,

Ducted fans must always be

Make sure that the airflow in the
room is sufficient for combustion
and exhausting of all non-electric
heating appliances (water heaters, gas
cooktops, gas ovens, etc.), otherwise
backdrafts may occur. Follow the
heating manufacturer's guidelines and
safety standards or those published by
the National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA), or the American Society for
Heating, Refrigeration and Air
Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE).
If in doubt, consult an experienced
professional.

Functional description
The hood offers two modes of
operation:
Air extraction Recircu_ation mode
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.
Air is drawn through the grease filters
and an active charcoal fiJtet, The
filtered air is then recirculated back into
the kitchen through a vent at the top of
the hood's chimney.
The recirculation mode requires an
install kit and charcoal filter which are
optional accessories.
i ]}
Before using the hood in
recirculation mode, ensure that the
ii active charcoal filte,[ is in place, see
