dangerous.
 Where a recirculation cooker hood is fitted above a gas hob,
please ensure that there is an adequate supply of fresh air into the
room in which it is installed. Please seek the advice of a qualified gas
fitter (e.g. GasSafe in the UK) if necessary.

Warning and Safety instructions
4
 The cooker hood can only be used by people with reduced phys-
ical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and know-
ledge, if they are supervised whilst using it, or have been shown how
to use it in a safe way and recognise and understand the con-
sequences of incorrect operation.
Safety with children
 Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the cooker
hood unless they are constantly supervised.

Technical safety
 Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can cause
considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance and re-
pairs 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 re-
quirement is met. If in any doubt please have the electrical installa-
tion tested by a qualified electrician.
 Reliable and safe operation of this cooker hood can only be as-
sured if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.
 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
6
 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 op-
erational faults.
Only open the housing as described in the instructions given in the
installation sheet and in the Cleaning and care section of this book-
let. 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 approved service technician.
 Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when genu-
ine original Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty components
must only be replaced by Miele spare parts.
 If the electrical connection cable is faulty it must only be replaced
by a Miele authorised service technician to protect the user from
danger.
 During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliance
must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply.

Warning and Safety instructions

Using at the same time as other heating appliances that depend on the air
from the room
Warning - danger of toxic fumes
Great care should be taken when using the cooker hood at the
same time and in the same room or area of the house as another
heating appliance which depends on the air in the room.
Such appliances include gas, oil, wood or coal-fired boilers and
heaters, continuous flow or other water heaters, gas hobs, cook-
ers or ovens which draw air in from the room and duct exhaust
gases out through a chimney or extraction ducting.
When used in extraction mode, with or without an external motor
fitted, or in recirculation mode with a recirculation box installed
outside the room, the appliance draws air in from the room in
which it is installed and from neighbouring rooms.
If there is insufficient air, an underpressure will occur. The heating
appliance will be starved of oxygen, impairing combustion.
Harmful gases could be drawn out of the chimney or extraction
ducting back into the room, with potentially fatal consequences.

Warning and Safety instructions
8
In order to ensure safe operation, and to prevent gases given off
by the heating appliances from being drawn back into the room
when the cooker hood and the heater are in operation simultan-
eously, an underpressure in the room of 0.04 mbar (4 pa) is the
maximum permissible.
Ventilation can be maintained by air inlets which cannot be
blocked, in windows, doors or outside wall vents, or by other tech-
nical measures, such as ensuring that the cooker hood can only be
switched on when the heating appliance is switched off or vice
versa. 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, the advice of a competent builder or, for
gas a qualified gas fitter (registered with an official gas safety body
in accordance with national safety regulations, GasSafe in the UK)
must be sought.
If the cooker hood is used in recirculation mode, where the air is
directed back into the room in which it is located, operating a heat-
ing appliance which depends on the room air at the same time is
no cause for concern.

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use
 Never use a naked flame beneath the cooker hood. To avoid the
danger of fire, do not flambé or grill over a naked 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 excess-
ive 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.
 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.

Warning and Safety instructions
10
 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 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.
 This cooker hood is not suitable for placing objects on.
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.
 An insufficient safety distance between the hob and the cooker
hood can result in damage to the cooker 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
of this booklet must be maintained, unless the hob manufacturer
states that a greater safety 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 fit-
ting the cooker hood.
