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.
Disposing of your old
appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain valuable materials. They
also contain specific materials,
compounds and components, which
were essential for their correct function
and safety. These could be hazardous
to human health and to the environment
if disposed of with your domestic waste
or if handled incorrectly. Please do not,
therefore, dispose of your old appliance
with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre for electrical and electronic
appliances, or contact your dealer or
Miele for advice. You are also
responsible for deleting any personal
data that may be stored on the
appliance being disposed of. Please
ensure that your old appliance poses no
risk to children while being stored prior
to disposal.

Warning and Safety instructions
5

safety requirements. Inappropriate use can, however, lead to
personal injury and material damage.
Read the operating and installation instructions carefully before
using the cooker hood. They contain important information on its
safety, installation, use and maintenance. This prevents both
personal injury and damage to the cooker hood.
In accordance with standard IEC60335-1, Miele expressly and
strongly advises that you read and follow the instructions in the
chapter on installing the appliance as well as the safety
instructions and warnings.
Miele cannot be held liable for injury or damage caused by non-
compliance with these instructions.

 Please supervise children in the vicinity of the cooker hood and do
not let them play with it.
 Danger of suffocation! Whilst playing, children may become
entangled in packaging material (such as plastic wrapping) or pull it
over their head with the risk of suffocation. Keep packaging material
away from children.

Warning and Safety instructions
7
Technical safety
 Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can cause
considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance and
repairs must only be carried out by a Miele authorised technician.
 A damaged appliance can be dangerous. Check it for visible signs
of damage. Do not use a damaged appliance.
 The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed
when correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety
requirement is met. If in any doubt please have the electrical
installation tested by a qualified electrician.
 Temporary or permanent operation on an autonomous power
supply system or a power supply system that is not synchronised
with the mains power supply (e.g. island networks, back-up systems)
is possible. A prerequisite for operation is that the power supply
system complies with the specifications of EN50160 or an
equivalent standard.
The function and operation of the protective measures provided in
the domestic electrical installation and in this Miele product must
also be maintained in isolated operation or in operation that is not
synchronised with the mains power supply, or these measures must
be replaced by equivalent measures in the installation. As described,
for example, in the current version of BS OHSAS 18001–2 ISO
45001.
 The connection data (voltage and frequency) on the data plate of
the cooker hood must match the mains electricity supply in order to
avoid the risk of damage to the cooker hood
Compare this before connecting the appliance to the mains. Consult
a qualified electrician if in any doubt.
 Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by a
multi-socket unit or an extension lead. These are a fire hazard and
do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance.

Warning and Safety instructions
8
 For safety reasons, this appliance may only be used after it has
been built in.
 The cooker hood must not be used in a non-stationary location
(e.g. on a ship).
 Touching electrical components and tampering with electrical and
mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can cause
operational faults.
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.
 The manufacturer's warranty will be invalidated if the appliance is
not repaired by a Miele authorised technician.
 If the electrical connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced
by a Miele authorised technician to protect the user from danger.
 The lamps are a built-in component of the lighting. Replacement
lamps may only be fitted by a Miele authorised technician or by the
Miele Customer Service Department.
 During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliance
must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply.

Warning and Safety instructions
9
Using at the same time as another heating appliance that depends on the air
from the room
Danger of toxic fumes!
Great care should be taken when using the cooker hood in the
same room or the same area of the house at the same time as
another heating appliance that depends on the air from the room.
Such heating appliances draw in air from the room and duct
exhaust gases out through a chimney or extraction ducting. They
include gas, oil, wood and coal-fired boilers and heaters,
continuous flow or other water heaters, gas hobs and ovens.
The cooker hood draws in air from the kitchen and from
neighbouring rooms. This applies to the following modes of
operation:
– Extraction mode
– Recirculation mode with a recirculation box installed outside the
room.
If there is insufficient air, negative pressure will occur. The heating
appliance may be starved of oxygen. This impairs combustion.
Harmful gases could be drawn from the chimney or extraction
ducting back into the room.
Risk of death!

Warning and Safety instructions
10
In order to ensure safe operation and to prevent gases given off by
the heating appliance from being drawn back into the room when
the cooker hood and the heater are both operated simultaneously,
an underpressure in the room of 0.04mbar (4Pa) is the maximum
permissible.
Sufficient ventilation can be maintained by air inlets which cannot
be blocked, e.g. in windows, doors and outside wall vents. The
cross-section of the inlet openings must enable sufficient
ventilation. 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, ask a competent building regulations
inspector or qualified gas fitter (if appropriate).
If the cooker hood is being operated in recirculation mode,
whereby the air is redirected into the room in which it is installed,
the above restrictions do not apply.

Warning and Safety instructions
11
Correct use
 Risk of crushing! Do not reach into the travel area of the extractor
as it moves up or down.
 Open flames are a fire hazard.
The use of an open flame under the cooker hood is not permitted. 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.
 Always switch the cooker hood on when a cooking zone is in use,
otherwise condensation may collect in the hood, which could cause
corrosion.
 Overheated oil and fat can ignite, causing fire damage to the
cooker hood.
When cooking with oil or fat, chip pans and deep fat fryers, etc, do
not leave the pans unattended. Similarly, never leave an open grill
unattended when grilling.
 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.
 There is a risk of fire if the cooker hood is not cleaned as
described in these operating instructions.
 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
12
Proper installation
 To determine whether a cooker hood may be operated above your
cooking appliance, please refer to the information provided by the
appliance’s manufacturer.
 The downdraft extractor must not be installed next to solid fuel
stoves.
 The cooker hood must not be operated in combination with a gas
hob.
 The distances given in “Installation” must be observed when
fitting the downdraft extractor.
 Exhaust ducting must be of non-inflammable material. Suitable
material is available from Miele specialist dealers or the Miele Spares
Dept.
 The appliance must not be connected to a chimney or 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.

Warning and Safety instructions
13
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 and spare parts
 Only use genuine original Miele accessories and spare parts with
this appliance. Using accessories or spare parts from other
manufacturers will invalidate the warranty and Miele cannot accept
liability.
 Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when
genuine original Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty
components must only be replaced by Miele spare parts.
 Miele will guarantee to supply functional spare parts for a
minimum of 10years and up to 15years following the
discontinuation of your vapour extraction unit.

Modes of operation
16
Depending on the model of the cooker
hood, the following options are
available:
Extraction mode
The cooking vapours are drawn in by
the cooker hood. The air is then passed
via the edge extraction panel through
the grease filters, cleaned and then
directed outside.
Recirculation mode
(with conversion kit and charcoal filter
as optional accessories)
The air is drawn in via the edge
extraction panel and cleaned first by the
grease filters and then by charcoal
filters. The air is then circulated back
into the kitchen.
For recirculation operation, we
recommend that the air is fed into the
kitchen through a duct with an outlet,
e.g. in the plinth panel.
Recirculation mode Plug&Play
If the installation space is not sufficient
for an air duct, the air can also be
guided into the plinth under the kitchen
furniture in Plug&Play operation. Please
follow the instructions in “Installation”.
