Read these Operating Instructions carefully before installing or
using the Ventilation System.
This appliance is intended for
residential use only. Use the
appliance only for its intended
purpose. The manufacturer cannot
be held responsible for damages
caused by improper use of the
hood.
This appliance complies with current
safety requirements. Improper use
of the appliance can lead to
personal injury and material
damage.
READ AND SAVE THESE
INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION
For General Ventilating Use Only.
Do not use to exhaust hazardous or
explosive materials and vapors.
~This appliance is designed to vent
cooking smoke and odors only.
~Be certain your appliance is
properly installed and grounded by a
qualified technician.
To guarantee the electrical safety of this
appliance, continuity must exist
between the appliance and an effective
grounding system. It is imperative that
this basic safety requirement be met. If
there is any doubt, have the electrical
system of the house checked by a
qualified electrician. The manufacturer
cannot be held responsible for
damages caused by the lack, or
inadequacy, of an effective grounding
system.
~Before connecting the appliance to
the power supply make sure that the
voltage and frequency listed on the
data plate correspond with the
household electrical supply. This data
must correspond to prevent machine
damage. If in doubt consult a qualified
electrician.
~Installation work and repairs should
only be performed by a qualified
technician in accordance with all
applicable codes and standards.
Repairs and other work by unqualified
persons could be dangerous and the
manufacturer will not be held
responsible.

~This equipment is not designed for
maritime use or for use in mobile
installations such as recreational
vehicles or aircraft. However, under
certain conditions it may be possible for
an installation in these applications.
Please contact the nearest Miele dealer
or the Miele Technical Service
Department with specific requirements.
WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK
OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR
INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE
THE FOLLOWING:
~Use this unit only in the manner
intended by the manufacturer. If you
have questions, contact the
manufacturer.
~Before servicing or cleaning the unit,
switch power off at the service panel
and lock the service disconnecting
means to prevent power from being
switched on accidentally. If the service
disconnecting means cannot be
locked, securely fasten a prominent
warning device, such as a tag, to the
service panel.
~Before discarding an old appliance,
disconnect it from the power supply
and remove the power cord to prevent
hazards.
Use
~Do not allow children to play with or
operate the appliance or its controls.
Supervise its use by the elderly or
infirm.
~Do not flambé or grill with an open
flame beneath the hood.
Flames could be drawn up into the
hood by the suction and the grease
filters may catch fire.
~Never operate gas burners without
cookware. Turn the burner off when not
in use. Adjust the burner so that the
flames do not extend beneath the
cookware. Do not overheat the
cookware, e.g. when using a wok. The
hood can be damaged due to
excessive heat from the burners and
the cookware.
~Do not use the hood without the
grease filter in place.
~Clean the grease filter regularly.
Dirty filters are a fire hazard.
~Do not use a steam cleaner to clean
the hood. Steam could penetrate
electrical components and cause a
short circuit.
~Always turn on the hood when using
the cooktop to prevent damage from
condensation.
~This hood has an adjustable
canopy. Be sure that no one is above or
below the canopy while it is being
adjusted. While the canopy is in motion
refrain from using the cooktop until the
hood is at the desired position.

Installation
~,WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire only use
metal ductwork.
~Any fittings, sealant, or materials
used to install the ductwork must be
made of approved non-flammable
materials.
~Provided a larger distance is not
given by the manufacturer of the
cooktop, follow the minimum safety
distances between a cooktop and the
bottom of the hood:
– 22" (550 mm) above electric
cooktops,
– 30" (762 mm) above gas cooktops,
– 26" (650 mm) above an open electric
grill or an open electric boiler/fryer.
If local building codes require a greater
safety distance, follow their
requirement.
If there is more than one appliance
beneath the hood and they have
different minimum safety distances
always select the greater distance.
~Do not install this hood over
cooktops burning solid fuel.
~Do not use an extension cord to
connect the appliance to electricity.
Extension cords do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance,
(e.g. danger of overheating).
~Never connect an exhaust hood to
an active chimney, dryer vent, vent flue,
or room ventilating ductwork. Seek
professional advice before connecting
an exhaust hood vent to an existing,
inactive chimney or vent flue.
WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK
OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR
INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE
THE FOLLOWING:
~Installation work and electrical
wiring must be done by qualified
person(s) in accordance with all
applicable codes and standards,
including fire-rated construction.
~Sufficient air is needed for
combustion and exhausting of gases
through the flue (chimney of fuel
burning equipment to prevent back
drafting. Follow the heating equipment
manufacturer’s guideline and safety
standards such as those published by
the National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA) and the American Society for
Heating, Refrigeration and Air
Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and
the local code authorities.
~When cutting or drilling into wall or
ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring
and other hidden utilities.
~Ducted fans must always be vented
to the outdoors.

Guide to the hood

The ventilation hood works by air
extraction. The air is drawn in and
cleaned by the grease filter 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.
