Warning and Safety instructions
8
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 deposits could ignite, presenting a fire hazard.
 The cooker hood can become damaged when exposed to
excessive heat.
– 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.
– Select a pan which is suitable for the size of the burner.
– Regulate the flame so that it does not burn up the sides of the
pan.
– Avoid overheating the pan (e.g. when cooking with a wok).
 Always switch the cooker hood on when a cooking zone is in use,
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.
 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.

Warning and Safety instructions
9
Correct installation
 Refer to the cooker or hob manufacturer's instructions as to
whether a cooker hood may be operated above the cooker/hob.
 Safety regulations prohibit the fitting of a cooker hood over solid
fuel stoves.
 Insufficient distance between the cooker or hob and the cooker
hood can result in damage to the hood.
The minimum safety distances between the top of the cooker or hob
and the bottom of the cooker hood given in the "Installation" section
must be maintained, unless the hob manufacturer states that a
greater 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.
 The distances given in "Installation" must be observed when
fitting the cooker hood.

Warning and Safety instructions
10
Cleaning and care
 Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this appliance.
The steam could reach electrical components and cause a short
circuit.
Accessories
 Only use genuine original Miele accessories with this appliance.
Using accessories from other manufacturers will invalidate the
guarantee, and Miele cannot accept liability.

Caring for the environment
11
Disposal of the packing
material
The packaging is designed to protect
the appliance from damage during
transportation. The packaging materials
used are selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and should be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the
use of raw materials in the
manufacturing process and also
reduces the amount of waste in landfill
sites.
Disposal of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain valuable materials. They
also contain materials which, if handled
or disposed of incorrectly, could be
potentially hazardous to human health
and to the environment. They are,
however, essential for the correct
functioning of your appliance. Please
do not therefore dispose of it with your
household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre or contact your Dealer for
advice.
Ensure that it presents no danger to
children while being stored for disposal.

Modes of operation
12
Recirculation mode
This cooker hoods operates solely in
recirculation mode.
The air is drawn in and cleaned first by
the grease filters and then by four
charcoal filters. The cleaned air is then
recirculated back into the kitchen
through ventilation grilles in the top of
the cooker hood.

Modes of operation
13
Con@ctivity 2.0 function
Automatic control
The cooker hood has a communication
facility which enables the automatic
operation of the cooker hood
depending on the operational state of
the hob.
To make use of the communication
facility the hob must be fitted with a
Con@ctivity 2.0 Stick .
Refer to the installation instructions for
the Con@ctivity 2.0 Stick to check
whether it is compatible with your hob.
To use the Con@ctivity 2.0 function, a
wireless connection must be
established between the hob and the
cooker hood (see "Activating
Con@ctivity 2.0").
The hob transmits information about its
operational status via a radio signal to
the cooker hood.
– When the hob is switched on, the
hob lighting comes on independently
and then after a short time the fan
also comes on.
– During cooking the cooker hood
automatically sets the power level
according to the number of cooking
zones in operation and their power
levels.
– After switching the hob off the fan
and the hob lighting will switch off
automatically after a specified period
of time.
See "Operation" for detailed
information about this function.

Operation (Automatic mode)
16
When Con@ctivity 2.0 is activated, the
cooker hood always works in automatic
mode (see "Activating Con@ctivity
2.0").
To operate the cooker hood manually,
see "Cooking without Con@ctivity 2.0".
Cooking with Con@ctivity 2.0
(Automatic mode)
Switch a cooking zone on at the
power level you want.
The cooker hood lighting will come on.
After a few seconds the fan will come
on, first at power level 2, then it will
switch immediately to power level 1.
The cooker hood selects the power
level automatically during cooking.
This is determined by the total output of
the hob, i.e, the number of cooking
zones in operation and the power levels
selected.
If you select a higher power level or
are using several cooking zones, the
cooker hood will switch to a higher
power level.
When you reduce the power level or
the number of cooking zones on the
hob, the cooker hood power level is
also reduced.
Examples for power levels 1to 4
Reaction time
The cooker hood reacts with a slight
delay because altering the power level
on the hob does not immediately result
in a reduction or increase in cooking
vapours.
Because the hob transmits the
information to the cooker hood at
intervals, this can also cause delays.
The reaction can vary from a few
seconds to a couple of minutes.

Operation (Automatic mode)
17
Cooking process
If for example you switch on a
cooking zone at the highest power
level to heat a pan for frying and
reduce the power level after approx.
60 to 90 seconds*, a cooking process
is recognised (*60 seconds to 5
minutes for a HiLight hob).
The cooker hood switches itself on and
when the hob power level has been
reduced, the hood switches to power
level 3 and remains at that level for
approx. 5 minutes.
After that the cooker hood power level
is determined automatically by the
Con@ctivity function.
You can select another power level
manually before then.
Switching off
Switch off all cooking zones.
The cooker hood fan will reduce its
power level over the next few minutes
and will eventually switch itself off.
This helps to neutralise any lingering
vapours and odours in the air.
– From the intensive setting IS the fan
switches immediately to level 3.
– From level 3, it switches to level 2
after approx. 1 minute.
– From level 2 it switches to level 1
after approx. 2 minutes.
– After 2 minutes at level 1 the fan
switches itself off.
– After another 30 seconds the lighting
switches off.
The cooking process is then finished.

Operation (Automatic mode)
18

Con@ctivity 2.0").
Returning to automatic mode
The cooker hood returns to automatic
mode:
if the cooker hood has not been used
for approx. 5 minutes after selecting
a power level manually, or
if the manually selected fan power
level corresponds to the automatic
one again, or
if the cooker hood fan and the hob
