Installation
,WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR
INJURY TO PERSONS,
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
~a) Installation work and electrical
wiring must be done by qualified
person(s) in accordance with all
applicable codes and standards,
including fire-rated construction.
~b) Sufficient air is needed for
combustion and exhausting of gases
through the flue (chimney of fuel
burning equipment to prevent back
drafting. Follow the heating equipment
manufacturer’s guideline and safety
standards such as those published by
the National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA) and the American Society for
Heating, Refrigeration and Air
Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and
the local code authorities.
~c) When cutting or drilling into the
wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical
wiring and other hidden utilities.
~d) Ducted hoods must always be
vented to the outdoors.
~e) Do not use this hood with any
solid-state speed control device.
~f) Do not use an extension cord to
connect the appliance to electricity.
Extension cords do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance,
(e.g. danger of overheating).
~g) Do not install this hood over
cooktops that burn solid fuel.
~h) Provided a larger distance is not
given by the manufacturer of the
cooktop, follow the minimum safety
distances between a cooktop and the
bottom of the hood given in the
"Appliance dimensions" section of this
manual.
If local building codes require a greater
safety distance, follow their
requirement.
If there is more than one appliance
beneath the hood and they have
different minimum safety distances
always select the greater distance.
~i) Never connect an exhaust hood to
an active chimney, dryer vent, vent flue,
or room ventilating ductwork.
~j) Seek professional advice before
connecting an exhaust hood vent to an
existing, inactive chimney or vent flue.
~k) Any fittings, sealant, or materials
used to install the ductwork must be
made of approved non-flammable
materials.

combination with the DRIB XL/XXL or
DREB XL/XXL Miele Blower.
,WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
FIRE USE ONLY METAL
DUCTWORK.

The ventilation system offers the
following modes of operation:
Air extraction with internal blower
A blower that is integrated into the
ventilation system removes any cooking
vapors. The air is guided though the
baffle filters and cleaned. Then the air
is directed outside.
A non-return flap in the exhaust air
system closes when the ventilation
system is turned off so that no
exchange of outside air and room air
can occur.
It is closed when the ventilation system
is turned off.
When the hood is turned on, the air
pressure of the exhaust blower opens
the flap and blows the cooking vapors
outside.
Air extraction with external blower
The external blower must be installed
outside the room at a location of your
choosing.
The external blower is connected to the
ventilation system by a control cable
and is operated via the control panel of
the ventilation system.
Air recirculation mode
The air that is drawn in is cleaned by
the baffle filters and then by an
OdorFree charcoal filter. The air is
returned to the kitchen through opening
on the top of the range hood.
In air recirculation mode, please
ensure that the OdorFree charcoal
filters are in place; see "Cleaning
and Care".

Turning the light on/off
The overhead LED light and the blower
can be turned on and off separately.
Turning the blower on/off
^Turn the blower switch to "1" to turn
the blower on and to "0" to turn the
blower off.
Selecting the blower power
level
Select one of the four power levels
according to the intensity of the
cooking vapors.
Typically, levels "1" to "3" are sufficient
for normal cooking needs.
Intensive level
Use the intensive setting "IS" for short
periods of time when frying or cooking
food with strong vapors and odors.
Always turn the ventilation system
on when cooking.
When using a gas range regardless
of the cooktop setting, use the
following power levels:
Ventilation system with blower DRIB
XL or DREB XL (700 cfm):
22 kW or more: min. Level 2
31 kW or more: min. Level 3
Ventilation system with blower DRIB
XXL or DREB XXL (1100 cfm):
31 kW or more: min. Level 2
40 kW: min. Level 3
The ventilation system is equipped
with a temperature sensor.Ifan
insufficient power level was
selected, the ventilation system
temporarily switches to the intensive
setting "IS". This also happens when
the ventilation system is off.
After cooking
If the kitchen is still full of cooking
vapors after you have finished cooking,
we recommend leaving the ventilation
system on for approx. 10 minutes.
^Then turn the system off.

,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".
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.
These will damage the surface.
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 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
12

Stainless steel colored controls
These controls may become dis-
colored or damaged if not cleaned
regularly.
Do not use a stainless steel cleaner
on these controls.
Baffle filtration
The stainless steel baffle filtration in the
hood remove solid particles from the
vented kitchen air (grease, dust, etc)
and prevent soiling of the ventilation
system.
The baffle filters should be cleaned
every3-4weeks.
,A dirty filter is a fire hazard!
^Push the baffle filter slightly upwards
a, pull the lower side out b, and
remove the filter.
Support the baffle filter so that it
does not fall and damage the
cooktop.
The OdorFree charcoal filters mounted
in back of the baffle filters should be
removed before cleaning (see
"OdorFree charcoal filters").
Cleaning and Care
13

Cleaning the baffle filters
^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 either the
"Normal" or "Grates and Filters"
program.
Use the recommended amount of
dishwasher detergent. Overuse could
destroy the filter.
^By hand: use a sponge with a
solution of warm water and liquid
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.
^After cleaning, place the filters on a
towel to air dry.
^While the filters are removed, clean
any dirt or grease from the filter
casing.
^The bottom lip that the baffle filter
sits on serves as a grease collecting
tray that can be removed for
cleaning. To do this simply pull it
upwards.
The grease collecting tray of 30"
models can be cleaned in the
dishwasher.
^Reinsert the baffle filters by pushing
the filter upwards athen pushing it
in b.
Cleaning and Care
14

OdorFree charcoal filters
For recirculation mode the OdorFree
charcoal filters must be used in
addition to the baffle filters. The
OdorFree charcoal filters are designed
to absorb cooking odors.
The OdorFree charcoal filters are
installed behind the baffle filters.
A recirculation kit is required to use the
ventilation system in air recirculation
mode. The kit contains one OdorFree
charcoal filter for each baffle filter as
well as housings that hold the OdorFree
charcoal filters. Install the filters
according to the instructions included
with the kit.
Replacement OdorFree charcoal
filters can be ordered from Miele.
Replacing the OdorFree charcoal
filters
^To install or replace the OdorFree
charcoal filters, the baffle filters must
first be removed as described in the
previous section.
^Remove the filters from the
packaging.
^Open the filter housing.
^Insert the OdorFree charcoal filter.
^Repeat these steps for each filter.
^Replace the baffle filters.
(Be sure the arrow on the back of the
filter faces upwards.)
Replace the OdorFree charcoal filters
every 6 months or when it is no longer
absorbing cooking odors.
^Used filters may be discarded with
the household waste.
