Technical safety
~Before installation, check the cooker
hood for visible signs of damage. Do
not install and use a damaged
appliance. It could be dangerous.
~Before connecting the appliance to
the mains supply, make sure that the
voltage and frequency details given on
the data plate correspond with the
household electricity supply, otherwise
the appliance could be damaged.
Consult a qualified electrician if in any
doubt.
~The electrical safety of this
appliance can only be guaranteed if it
is correctly earthed. It is most important
that this basic safety requirement is
observed and regularly tested and
where there is 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).
~For safety reasons, this appliance
may only be used when it has been
fully installed.
~Only open the housing as described
in the instructions given in the
installation sheet and in the Cleaning
and care section of this booklet. Under
no circumstances should any other
parts of the housing be opened.
Tampering with electrical connections
or components and mechanical parts is
highly dangerous to the user, and can
cause operational faults.
~Installation, maintenance and
repairs may only be carried out by a
service technician authorised by the
manufacturer in strict accordance with
current 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.
~Faulty components must only be
replaced by genuine Miele original
parts. The manufacturer can only
guarantee the safety of the appliance
when Miele replacement parts are
used.
~During installation, maintenance and
repair work, the appliance must be
disconnected from the mains electricity
supply.
Warning and Safety instructions
5

~Do not connect the appliance to the
mains electricity supply by a
multi-socket adapter or an extension
lead. These do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance (e.g.
danger of overheating).
~For appliances with an external fan
motor (...EXT models) the connection of
the two units must be made using the
connection cable and the plug
connectors.
These models may only be combined
with a Miele external motor.
~This appliance must not be used in
a non-stationary location (e.g. on a
ship).
~In areas which may be subject to
infestation by cockroaches or other
vermin, pay particular attention to
keeping the appliance and its
surroundings in a clean condition at all
times. Any damage which may be
caused by cockroaches or other vermin
will not be covered by the guarantee.
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, with or
without an external motor fitted, 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 could be drawn out of
the chimney or extraction ducting back
into the room, with potentially fatal
consequences.
Warning and Safety instructions
6

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 cooker
hood and the heating appliance 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 cooker hood 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
qualified gas fitter (GasSafe
registered in the UK) or electrician
must be sought.
One of the following technical
measures may be necessary to ensure
safe operation.
–If the only way of ensuring adequate
ventilation is via an open window, a
window contact switch should be
fitted to ensure 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.
– The cooker hood can be set up to
automatically switch on an air intake
fan or open a motorised inlet flap
when it is switched on.
– The cooker hood can be set up to
automatically switch off a heating
appliance which also depends on
the air from the room when it is
switched on.
The Miele DSM 400 control module
offers the possibility of combining other
components with the cooker hood (see
"Operation with Control module
DSM 400").
It is available to purchase as an
optional extra.
If in any doubt, the advice of a
competent builder or, for gas, a Gas
Safe registered fitter must be
sought.
If the hood is being operated in
recirculation mode, the above
restrictions do not apply.
Warning and Safety instructions
7

Correct 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.
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. Switch
the cooking zone off when a pan is
removed, even for a short time.
Regulate the flame so that it does not
burn up the sides of the pan.
Do not allow the pans to overheat
excessively (e.g. when using a wok).
The cooker hood can become
damaged when exposed to excessive
heat.
~Always switch the cooker hood on
when using the hob, 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 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".
~The cooker hood can get very hot
during cooking due to heat rising from
the hob.
Do not touch the housing or the grease
filters until the cooker hood has cooled
down.
~Do not use a steam-cleaner to clean
this appliance. Steam could reach the
electrical components and cause a
short circuit.
Warning and Safety instructions
8

Correct installation
~Refer to the cooker or hob
manufacturer's instructions as to
whether a cooker hood may be
operated above the cooker/hob.
~The minimum safety distances
between the top of the cooker or hob
and the bottom of the cooker hood
given in the "Appliance dimensions"
section of this booklet must be
maintained, unless the hob
manufacturer states that a greater
safety distance is required.
If more than one cooking 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 material.
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.
Accessories
~Only use genuine Miele original
spare parts and accessories with this
appliance. Using spare parts or
accessories from other manufacturers
will invalidate the guarantee, and Miele
cannot accept liability.
The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by
non-compliance with these Warning
and Safety instructions.

The cooker hood works with
. . . air extraction:
The air is drawn in, cleaned by the
grease filter and then directed outside.
If the on-site ventilation system does
not have a non-return flap, then 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 blown directly
outside.
. . . air recirculation:
(requires a conversion kit and charcoal
filter, available as optional extras: see
"Technical Data")
The air is drawn in and cleaned first by
the grease filter 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".
...anexternal motor:
(...EXT models only)
EXT models are designed to be
connected to an external motor located
outside the room.
The external motor is connected to the
cooker hood by means of a control
cable, and is operated by the controls
on the cooker hood.
Modes of operation

A range of Miele branded cleaning and
conditioning products is available to
order from Miele (see back page for
details) or via the internet at
www.miele-shop.com.
,Before any cleaning or
maintenance work is carried out,
disconnect the cooker hood from the
mains supply.
,Halogen lamps get very hot
during use and remain hot for some
time after being switched off. The
hot lamps are also susceptible to
damage from damp cleaning. Wait a
few minutes after switching off
before commencing cleaning.
Housing
General
The surfaces and controls are
susceptible to scratches and
abrasions. Please observe the
following cleaning instructions.
^All external surfaces and controls can
be cleaned using a Miele E-Cloth or
with warm water and a little
washing-up liquid applied with a well
wrung-out soft sponge or cloth.
^Wipe the surfaces dry using a soft
cloth.
Do not use too much water when
cleaning the controls. Water could
penetrate into the electronics and
cause damage.
Do not use:
–cleaning agents containing soda,
acids, chlorides or solvents,
–abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.
powder cleaners or cream cleaners
and abrasive sponges, as well as pot
scourers or sponges which have
been used previously with abrasive
cleaning agents.
These will damage the surface
material.
Important for appliances with
stainless steel housing
(This infomation does not apply to the
controls).
Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned
using the Miele E-Cloth or with a
suitable, non-abrasive, proprietary
cleaning agent, following the
manufacturer's instructions on the
packaging.
To help prevent re-soiling, a
conditioning agent for stainless steel
can also be used. Follow the
manufacturer's instructions on the
packaging.
Important for appliances with
lacquered housing
(Special order finish)
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
colours and if there is halogen lighting
in the kitchen.
Cleaning and care
15

Controls
The controls may suffer
discolouration or damage if soiling is
left on them for too long. Remove
soiling straight away.
Observe the General notes on cleaning
earlier in this section.
Do not use stainless steel cleaning
agents on the controls.
Important for appliances with glass
surfaces
^Glass surfaces can be cleaned using
a proprietary non-abrasive cleaning
agent designed specifically for use
on glass.
Do not use:
– abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.
powder cleaners and cream
cleaners,
–abrasive sponges, e.g. pot scourers
or sponges which have been
previously used with abrasive
cleaning agents,
–oven sprays.
Grease filter
The re-usable metal grease filter in the
appliance removes solid particles from
the kitchen vapours (grease, dust, etc),
preventing soiling of the cooker hood.
To avoid a build-up of fat, it should be
cleaned every 3-4 weeks on average,
but sooner if necessary.
,An oversaturated filter is a fire
hazard.
,The filter and the area around
the filter get very hot due to the
rising cooking vapours and the hob
lighting.
Before removing the filter, switch the
hob lighting off and allow the cooker
hood to cool down.
^To take out the filter, release the
locking clip on the filter, lower the
filter 45°, unhook it at the front and
remove it.
To avoid damaging the filter or the
hob below, make sure you hold the
filter securely at all times when
handling it.
Cleaning and care
16
dai2407

Cleaning the grease filter by hand
^Clean the filter with a soft nylon brush
in a mild solution of hot water and a
little washing-up liquid.
Do not use "neat" washing up liquid.
Do not use:
–cleaning agents containing
descaling agents,
–powder cleaners, cream cleaners or
abrasive all-purpose cleaners.
–oven sprays.
Cleaning the grease filter in the
dishwasher
^Place the filters as upright as
possible in the lower basket, with the
short sides upright. Make sure that
the spray arm can move freely.
^Do not wash at more than 65° C. If a
Miele dishwasher is being used,
select the Sensor wash programme.
^Use a mild dishwasher detergent.
Depending on the cleaning agent
used, cleaning the filters in a
dishwasher can cause permanent
discolouration to the surface.
However, this will not affect the
functioning of the filters in any way.
^After cleaning, leave the filter to dry
for a while on an absorbent surface
before putting it back in place.
^When removing the filter for cleaning,
also clean off any residues of oil or
fat from the now accessible housing
to prevent the risk of these catching
fire.
When putting the grease filter back in
position, ensure that the locking clip is
visible facing down towards the hob.
^Should the grease filter be put back
upside down:
Insert a small screwdriver into the slit
to disengage it. Do not let it drop
onto the hob below.
Cleaning and care
17

Fitting and replacing the
charcoal filter
If the cooker hood is connected for
recirculation, a charcoal filter must be
inserted in addition to the grease filter.
This is designed to absorb cooking
odours.
It is fitted in the canopy above the
grease filter.
New charcoal filters can be
purchased from your Miele dealer,
from the Miele Spare Parts
Department or via the internet at
www.miele.co.uk.
See back cover for contact details,
and "Technical data" for the model
number of the filter.
^Before fitting or replacing a charcoal
filter, the grease filter must first be
taken out (see previous section for
instructions on how to do this).
^Take the charcoal filter out of its
packaging.
^Insert the charcoal filter into the front
of the charcoal filter frame a, then
push up into the frame at the back b.
^Replace the grease filter.
Replace the charcoal filter when it no
longer absorbs kitchen odours
effectively.
It should, however, be replaced at least
every 6 months.
Used charcoal filters can be disposed
of with the normal household waste.
Cleaning and care
18

Changing a halogen lamp
^Before any cleaning or maintenance
work, disconnect the cooker hood
from the mains supply.
^Remove the grease filter.
^Remove the charcoal filter if the
cooker hood is being used in
recirculation mode.
,Exercise caution when changing
halogen lamps. They get very hot
during use and remain hot for some
time after being switched off. Let
them cool down before you change
them.
^Push on the button above the lamp
housing to lower the lighting unit a
little.
^The halogen lamp is now accessible
and should be unscrewed
anti-clockwise.
^Replace it with a new halogen lamp
(specification: GU/GZ 10, 230 V,
50 W). Screw the lamp into the
socket and push it upwards.
Please follow the manufacturer's
instructions.
We recommend only using lamps of the
same specification and also made by
the same manufacturer as the ones
being replaced.
