Air extraction
The air is drawn in via the glass or
stainless steel panels and cleaned by
the grease filters. Then the air is
released outdoors.
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.

,WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR
INJURY TO PERSONS,
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
Before cleaning or servicing the
hood, disconnect it from the power
supply, see "Important Safety
Instructions".
,The halogen bulbs are very hot
when in use. They stay hot for some
time after turned off. Use caution,
danger of burns.
Wet cleaning the hot bulbs will
cause damage.
Wait a few minutes after turning
them off before cleaning.
Cleaning the casing
Never use abrasive cleaners,
scouring pads, steel wool or caustic
(oven) cleaners on the hood. They
will damage the surface.
^All external surfaces and controls can
be cleaned with a mild solution of
warm water and liquid dish soap
applied with a soft sponge.
Do not use too much water when
cleaning the controls. Water could
penetrate the electronics and cause
damage.
^Wipe dry using a soft cloth.
Avoid:
–cleaning agents containing soda,
acids or chlorides,
–abrasive cleaning agents
e.g. powder or cream cleansers,
–abrasive sponges, e.g. pot scourers
or sponges which have been
previously used with abrasive
cleaning agents.
–sharp metal scrapers,
–oven spray.
The following instructions for cleaning
"Stainless steel" surfaces and "Stainless
steel colored controls" should be
followed in addition to the general
"Cleaning the casing" instructions.
Special instructions for appliances
with stainless steel surfaces
(not applicable to the controls)
Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned
using a non-abrasive stainless steel
cleaner.
To help prevent resoiling, a conditioner
for stainless steel can be applied.
Cleaning and care
14

Special instructions for glass
surfaces
^The glass edge can be cleaned
using a household glass cleaner.
Special instructions for appliances
with colored casings
(Special order)
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
colors and if there is halogen lighting in
the kitchen.
Special instructions for control
buttons
These controls may become dis-
colored or damaged if not cleaned
regularly.
Do not use a stainless steel cleaner
on these controls.
Panels and grease filters
The glass or stainless steel panels and
the reusable metal grease filters
remove solid particles from the vented
kitchen air (grease, dust, etc.) and
prevent soiling of the ventilation hood.
Clean the panels and grease filters at
the latest when the grease filter symbol
[of the timer button comes on.
The grease filters should be cleaned
every3-4weeks, as the collected
grease hardens over time and makes
cleaning more difficult.
,A dirty filter is a fire hazard!
Support the grease filters and
panels so that they do not fall and
damage the cooktop.
Cleaning and care
15

^Pull the front edge of the panels
down slightly, unhook them at the
back, and take them out.
^Open the grease filter lock, lower the
grease filter slightly, unhook it at the
back, and remove.
Cleaning the panels by hand
^Follow the instructions under
"Cleaning the casing".
Cleaning the grease filters
^By hand: use a scrub brush with a
solution of warm water and mild dish
soap.
Do not use the pure detergent,
aggressive all purpose cleaners,
oven sprays, abrasive cleaning
agents or limescale removers. They
could damage the filter.
^In a dishwasher: place the filter
vertically in the lower basket, making
sure that the spray arm is not
blocked.
Use a wash program with a max.
temperature of 150°F (65°C). In a
Miele dishwasher use the "Normal"
program.
Use the recommended amount of
dishwasher detergent. Overuse could
destroy the filter.
Depending on the detergent,
cleaning the grease filters in a
dishwasher may cause permanent
discoloration of the filter surface.
Filter performance will not be
affected by this discoloration.
^After cleaning, place the filters on a
towel to air dry.
^While the panels and the filters are
removed, clean any dirt or grease
from the casing. This reduces the risk
of fire.
^When reinstalling the grease filters,
make sure that the locking clips are
facing down.
Cleaning and care
16

^If the filters are incorrectly installed,
insert a small screwdriver into the slit
along its edge to disengage them
from the casing.
^Hook the panels onto the support
ledge, lift up the front and push them
into the lock until they engage.
Resetting the grease filter timer
Reset the timer each time you clean the
grease filters.
^With the fan running, press and hold
the timer button [for
about 3 seconds, until only the 1is
flashing.
The grease filter symbol [goes out.
If you clean the grease filters before
the operating time elapses:
^Press and hold the timer button [
for about 6 seconds, until only the 1
is flashing.

Changing the light bulbs
,WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR
INJURY TO PERSONS,
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
Before changing the light bulbs,
disconnect the hood from the power
supply, see "Important Safety
