Warning and safety instructions
Before installation and before using
the appliance for the first time read
these operating instructions care-
fully to avoid the risk of accidents
and damage to the appliance.
The appliance is intended for do-
mestic use only.
Do not let small children play with
the extractor or its controls.
This extractor meets all statutory
safety requirements.
The electrical safety of this ap-
pliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between
the appliance and an effective
grounding system. It is imperative that
this basic safety requirement is met. If
there is any doubt, have the electrical
system of the house checked by a
qualified electrician.
The manufacturer cannot be held re-
sponsible for damage caused by the
lack or inadequacy of an effective
grounding system.
Installation and repairs should only
be performed by qualified and
trained personnel. Repairs by unquali-
fied personnel could be dangerous.
Do not connect the appliance to
the main electrical supply using an
extension cord. Extension cords do not
guarantee the required safety of the ap-
pliance.
Before servicing, disconnect the
power supply by removing the fuse
or tripping the circuit breaker. Grasp
the plug, not the cord, when unplugg-
ing from the wall.
Do not use an open flame beside
the extractor. When turned on, the
extractor could draw flames into the fil-
ter. Grease particles trapped in the fil-
ter will then present a fire hazard.
When the extractor is installed
beside a gas cooktop, ensure that
the burners being used are always
covered by a saucepan or pot.
Heat given off by the flames could
otherwise damage the extractor.

Warning and safety instructions
Never leave the unit unattended
when cooking with oil or fat. Very
hot oil can ignite and damage the ex-
tractor.
Try to prevent drops of soup,
sauce, etc., or residues from the
grease filter from finding their way into
the interior of the appliance.
Should this occur however, cleaning
should only be performed by the Miele
Service Department, since the fan cas-
ing will have to be taken completely
apart.
Do not use the extractor without
the grease filter in place.
Clean the grease filter regularly. An
over-greasy filter is a fire hazard.
Do not use a steam-cleaner to
clean the extractor.
The steam could penetrate to electrical
components and cause a short circuit.
For the installer and electrician
Ensure that the electrical connec-
tion in the house and the details on
the data plate correspond.
Do not install the extractor beside
appliances burning solid fuel.
All ducting, pipework and fittings
must be of non-flammable material.
The appliance must not be con-
nected to a chimney or vent flue.
Neither should it be connected to duct-
ing which ventilates rooms with fire-
places.
If exhaust air is to be vented into a
chimney or ventilation duct no
longer serving other purposes, seek
professional advice.
Ensure there is sufficient ventilation
in the room when the extractor is in
operation.
When using the extractor at the same
time as other heating appliances which
depend on the air in the room (e.g.
gas, oil or coal fired heaters, con-
tinuous flow or other water heater, gas
cooktop or gas oven), make certain
that ventillation is adequate as the ex-
tractor will remove air from the room,
which these heaters need for combus-
tion.
In order to ensure safe operation, and
to prevent the exhaust gases of the
heating appliances from being drawn
into the room when the extractor and
heater are in operation simultaneously,
an underpressure of 0.06 psi (4pa) is
the maximum permissible in the room.
Ventilation can be maintained by air in-
lets in windows, doors and outside
walls, or by other means, such as en-
suring that the extractor can only be
turned on when the heating appliance
is off and vice-versa.
Keep these operating instructions in
a safe place for future reference and
pass them on to future owners if ap-
plicable.

Warning and safety instructions
Disposal of an old appliance
Before disposing of an old ap-
pliance, cut the cable off the ap-
pliance as close to the housing as
possible. The plug and cord should be
disposed of and not used elsewhere in
the house (electric shock hazard).
Text highlighted in boxes is of par-
ticular importance, and should be
read in conjunction with the warning
and safety instructions.

Cleaning and care
Before cleaning the extractor dis-
connect it from the main electrical
supply (pull out the plug or trip the
circuit breaker).
Grease filter
A re-usable metal grease filter is used
to remove solid particles (oil, dust, etc.)
from kitchen vapors, preventing soiling
of the extractor fan.
The grease filter can be cleaned in a
dishwasher or by hand.
The grease filter should be cleaned
regularly to ensure trouble free oper-
ation of the extractor fan.
An over-greasy filter is a fire hazard.
To remove the grease filter the venti-
lation grill (1) must be removed.
Carefully withdraw the grease filter
(2).
Make sure that no particles from the
grease filter fall into the interior of
the appliance. If this does happen,
the Service Department will have to
be called to clean the appliance, as
the fan casing will need to be dis-
mantled.
Loosen both screws on the grease fil-
ter and remove the drip tray.
Clean the grease filter, the ventilation
grill and the drip tray.
By hand: in a solution of hot water
and detergent using a nylon brush, or
In a dishwasher: the grease filter,
the ventilation grill and the drip tray
should be placed in the bottom bas-
ket. Ensure that the spray arm is not
obstructed.
When clean and dry, replace the drip
tray on the grease filter and re-install
it in the appliance.
Replace the ventilation grill.
Control panel / Control knob
The control panel and control knob
should be cleaned in a solution of hot
water and detergent and dried using a
soft cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleaning
agents as these will scratch the sur-
face material.
