Warning and Safety instructions
4
This cooker hood complies with all relevant local and national
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.
Keep these instructions in a safe place and pass them on to any
future owner.
Correct application
 This cooker hood is intended for use in domestic households and
similar working and residential environments.
 The cooker hood is not intended for outdoor use.
 It must only be used as a domestic appliance to extract vapours
and remove odours from cooking.
Any other usage is not supported by the manufacturer and could be
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) for more information if necessary.

Warning and Safety instructions
5
 The cooker hood can only be used by people with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, if they are supervised whilst using it, or have been
shown how to use it in a safe way and recognise and understand the
consequences 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.
 Children aged 8 and older may only use the cooker hood without
supervision if they have been shown how to use it and are able to do
so in a safe manner. Children must be able to understand and
recognise the possible dangers caused by incorrect operation.
 Children must not be allowed to clean or maintain the cooker
hood unsupervised.
 Please supervise children in the vicinity of the cooker hood and do
not let them play with it.
 The hob lighting is very intensive.
Ensure, in particular, that babies/small children do not look at the
light.
 Danger of suffocation. Packaging, e.g. plastic wrappings, must be
kept out of the reach of babies and children. Whilst playing, children
could become entangled in packaging or pull it over their head and
suffocate.

Warning and Safety instructions
6
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
7
 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
8
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
9
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
10
Correct use
 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.
 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.
 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
11
 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.
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.
 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 hob and the
bottom of the cooker hood given in the “Installation” section of this
manual must be observed, 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 information provided in “Installation” must be observed when
fixing the ventilation hood.
 Components can have sharp edges which may cause injury.
Wear gloves to protect your hands from being cut.
 Exhaust ducting must be of non-inflammable material. Suitable
material is available from Miele specialist dealers or the Miele Spares
Dept.

Warning and Safety instructions
12
 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.
Cleaning and care
 There is a risk of fire if the cooker hood is not cleaned as
described in these operating instructions.
 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.

Caring for the environment
13
Disposing of the packaging
material
The packaging material is used for
handling and protects the appliance
from transport damage. The packaging
material used is selected from materials
which are environmentally friendly for
disposal and can generally be recycled.
Recycling the packaging material
reduces the use of raw materials. Use
material-specific collection points for
valuable materials and take advantage
of return options. Your Miele dealer will
take the packaging material away.
Disposing of your old
appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
contain many valuable materials. They
also contain certain materials,
compounds and components which
were essential for their correct
functioning and safety. These could be
hazardous to human health and to the
environment if disposed of with
household waste or if handled
incorrectly. Please do not, therefore,
dispose of your old appliance with
household waste.
Instead, please make use of officially
designated collection and disposal
points to dispose of and recycle
electrical and electronic appliances in
your local community, with your dealer
or with Miele, free of charge. By law,
you are solely responsible for deleting
any personal data from the old
appliance prior to disposal. You are
legally obliged to remove any old
batteries which are not securely
enclosed by the appliance and to
remove any lamps without destroying
them, where this is possible. These
must be taken to a suitable collection
point where they can be handed in free
of charge. Please ensure that your old
appliance poses no risk to children
while being stored for disposal.
