Read these 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.
~This appliance complies with current
safety requirements. Improper use of
the appliance can lead to personal
injury and material damage.
,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.
~This appliance is suitable for
installation above gas or electric
cooking surfaces.
~This appliance is not intended for
outdoor use.
~This appliance must not be used in
a non-stationary location (e.g. on a
ship).
,WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR
INJURY TO PERSONS,
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
~a) Use this appliance only in the
manner intended by the manufacturer.
If you have questions, contact Miele.
~b) Before servicing or cleaning the
appliance, 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.
~c) 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

Installation
,WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR
INJURY TO PERSONS,
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
~a) Installation work and electrical
wiring must be done by qualified
person(s) in accordance with all
applicable codes and standards,
including fire-rated construction.
~b) 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.
~c) When cutting or drilling into the
wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical
wiring and other hidden utilities.
~d) Ducted hoods must always be
vented to the outdoors.
~e) Do not use this hood with any
solid-state speed control device.
~f) 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).
~g) Do not install this hood over
cooktops that burn solid fuel.
~h) 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 given in the
"Appliance dimensions" section of this
manual.
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.
~i) Never connect an exhaust hood to
an active chimney, dryer vent, vent flue,
or room ventilating ductwork.
~j) Seek professional advice before
connecting an exhaust hood vent to an
existing, inactive chimney or vent flue.
~k) Any fittings, sealant, or materials
used to install the ductwork must be
made of approved non-flammable
materials.
,WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
FIRE USE ONLY METAL
DUCTWORK.

The ventilation system can be operated
Air extraction
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.
Recirculation mode
The recirculation mode requires a
conversion kit and odor-free filter
(optional accessories for the
DA 6590 W only, see "Technical data")
Air is drawn in and cleaned by the
glass or stainless steel panels, grease
filters as well as an odor-free filter. The
filtered air is then recirculated back into
the kitchen through a vent at the top of
the hood’s chimney.
In air recirculation mode, please
ensure that the odor-free filter is in
place, see "Cleaning and care".
