difficulties when changing the filter,
depending on the thickness and height
of the tiles or panel.
If this is the case the filter needs to be

Distance between cooktop and
hood (S)
Do not install this exhaust hood over
cooktops burning solid fuel.
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:
Miele cooktops:
- 24" (610 mm) above electric
surfaces,
- 26" (660 mm) above electric
grill/boiler/fryers,
- 24" (610 mm) above gas surfaces
ß25,000 BTU's (7.5 kW) and no
burner greater than 10,250 BTU's
(3 kW) ,
- 30" (762 mm) above gas surfaces
> 25,000 BTU's (7.5 kW),
- 30" (762 mm) above burner heads
> 10,250 BTU's (3 kW). For
example, a Wok used separately
or in combination with a cooktop.
Non-Miele cooktops:
- 24" (610 mm) above all electric
surfaces,
- 30" (762 mm) above all gas
surfaces,
- 26" (660 mm) above electric
grill/boiler/fryers.
If several gas surfaces are installed
under the hood, the total output must
be considered when determining the
minimum safety distance.
Be sure to follow the minimum safety
distances given by the gas cooktop
manufacturer to easily flammable
materials e.g. upper cabinets.
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.
See "Important Safety Instructions"
for further information.
The installation procedure differs
depending on the model and venting
method.
Before beginning the installation:
^Read all instructions.
^Determine height (S), regarding the
user’s body height, i.e. a comfortable
height for the user.
However, the greater the distance the
less effectively cooking odors are
drawn in.
^If the hood is fitted flush to the
ceiling, regard the possible unit
height when selecting the installation
height.

Use the following distances when
preparing a rear wall (screw ø 5 mm).
*The middle retaining plate can vary in
position, depending on the ventilation
gap and the position of the outlet. It
should be mounted as low as possible.
If the exhaust hood is being mounted
directly on the wall, follow the enclosed
assembly.

The majority of the weight of the
installed ventilation system will be
supported by the lower retaining
plate. It must be firmly attached to
the stud framing behind the drywall.
If studs are not available in the
required locations, a plywood
backing (min. ½" (13 mm) thick)
spanning at least two studs must be
installed. Failure to adequately
support the weight as stated may
result in the ventilation system falling
off the wall, causing personal injury
and property damage.
(If plywood backing is not needed,
proceed to the included "Installation
diagram".)
To install a plywood backing
^Determine and mark the location of
the retaining plate for the canopy as
outlined on the "Installation diagram".
^Make a cutting line 3" (76 mm) above
and 3" (76 mm) below the outline of
the retaining plate.
^Find the studs to the left and right of
the mounting location by tapping the
wall or using a stud finder.
^Mark a vertical cutting line along the
center of each stud.
,CAUTION
When cutting or drilling into the wall
or ceiling, do not damage electrical
wiring and other hidden utilities.
^Remove the drywall between the
cutting lines and replace it with
plywood of a matching thickness
(min. ½" (13 mm) thick). Tape the
joints and refinish the wall.
^Proceed to the enclosed "Installation
diagram" to complete the installation.

Installation instructions
^See the enclosed installation
instruction diagram.
^Please read the "Important Safety
Instructions" and Installation
instructions before installing this
hood.
Protective film
The casing is covered with a protective
film to prevent scratching during
transport.
^Peel off the film before installing the
casing parts.
Dismantling
If the hood needs to be disassembled,
follow the instructions on the installation
diagram in the reverse order.
A lever is enclosed for easier removal
of the chimney extension.
^After loosening both of the clamping
screws on the chimney, slide the
lever between the chimney and the
chimney extension and gently apply
pressure to ease the chimney from its
hooks.

,WARNING
Danger of toxic fumes.
Gas cooking appliances release
carbon monoxide that can be
harmful or fatal if inhaled.
To reduce the risk of fire and to
properly exhaust air, the exhaust
gases extracted by the hood
should be vented outside of the
building only.
Do not vent exhaust air into
spaces within walls or ceilings or
in attics, crawl spaces or garages.
To reduce the risk of fire, only use
metal ductwork.
Please read and follow the
"IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS" to reduce the risk of
personal injury. Follow all local building
codes when installing the hood.
Exhaust ducting and connections
–The ducting should be as short and
straight as possible, and the number
of sharp bends should be minimized.
–For most efficient air extraction, the
diameter of the ductwork should not
be less than 6" (150 mm). Use of flat
ducts also reduces the air extraction
efficiency.
–Noise levels of the hood will increase
if flat ducts or round ducts of less
than 6" (150 mm) in diameter are
used.
– Use smooth or flexible pipes made
from approved non-flammable
materials for exhaust ducting.
– Where the ductwork is horizontal, it
must slope away from the hood at
least 1/8" per foot (1 cm per meter) to
prevent condensation dripping into
the appliance.
– If the exhaust is ducted through an
outside wall, a Telescopic Wall Vent
can be used.
Air extraction
30

– If the exhaust is ducted into an
inactive flue, the air must be expelled
parallel to the flow direction of the
flue.
Never connect an exhaust hood to
an active chimney, dryer vent, flue,
or room venting ductwork. Seek
professional advice before
connecting an exhaust hood vent to
an existing, inactive chimney or vent
flue.
Important
If the ductwork runs through rooms,
ceilings, garages, etc. where
temperature variations exist, it may
need to be insulated to reduce
condensation.
Condensate trap
optional accessory
In some cases, a condensate trap may
also be required to collect and
evaporate any condensate which may
occur. This optional accessory is
available for ducts 5" (125 mm) and 6"
(150 mm) in diameter.
^When installing a condensate trap,
ensure that it is positioned vertically
and if possible directly above the
exhaust outlet.

,WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR
INJURY TO PERSONS,
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
All electrical work should be
performed by a qualified electrician
in strict accordance with national
regulations (for USA: ANSI-NFPA 70)
and local safety regulations.
Installation, repairs and other work
by unqualified persons could be
dangerous.
Ensure that power to the appliance
is OFF while installation or repair
work is performed.
^Verify that the voltage, load and
circuit rating information found on the
data plate (located behind the
grease filter), match the household
electrical supply before installing the
hood.
^Use only with ventilation hood
cord-connection kits that have been
investigated and found acceptable
for use with this model hood.
If there is any question concerning the
electrical connection of this appliance
to your power supply, please consult a
licensed electrician or contact Miele’s
Technical Service Department.
,WARNING:
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
GROUNDED
Grounding Instructions
(USA and Mexico only)
This appliance must be grounded. In
the event of an electrical short circuit,
grounding reduces the risk of electric
shock by providing a path of least
resistance. This appliance is equipped
with a cord having a grounding wire
with a grounding plug. The plug must
be plugged into an outlet that is
properly installed and grounded.
WARNING - Improper grounding can
result in a risk of electric shock.
If there is any doubt, have the electrical
system of the house checked by a
qualified electrician.
Do not use an extension cord. If the
power supply cord is too short, have a
qualified electrician install an outlet
near the appliance.
Important (USA and Mexico only)
The hood comes equipped witha4ft
(1.2 m) power cord with a NEMA 5-15
molded plug for connection to a
120 VAC, 60 Hz, 15 A power outlet.
Important (Canada only)
To increase security before the
machine is installed, it is
recommended to install a protective
switch (30 mA).
Important (Canada only)
The hood must be hard wired
accordingly:
Black/Red wire: connect to L1 (live)
White wire: connect to N (neutral)
Green wire: connect to GND (ground)
