fore using this appliance for the first
time. They contain important infor-
mation about the safety, use and
maintenance of the appliance. This
will avoid the risk of accidents and
damage to the appliance.
Keep these operating instructions in
a safe place and ensure that new
users are familiar with the content.
Pass them on to any future owner of
the appliance.
Appropriate use of the cooker
hood
The appliance is intended for do-
mestic use only.
The manufacturer cannot be held re-
sponsible for any damage caused by
improper use or by non-observance of
these instructions.
echnical safety
Before connecting the appliance to
the mains supply make sure that
the voltage and frequency correspond
to the rating on the data plate, other-
wise the appliance could be damaged.
Consult a competent person if in doubt.
The electrical safety of this ap-
pliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between
the appliance and an effective earthing
system which complies with local and
national regulations. It is most import-
ant that this basic safety requirement is
tested by a qualified electrician.
The manufacturer cannot be held re-
sponsible for the consequences of an
inadequate earthing system (e.g. elec-
tric shock).
Installation work and repairs may
only be carried out by suitably
qualified and competent persons to en-
sure safety.
Repairs and other work by unqualified
persons could be dangerous.
The appliance is only completely iso-
lated from the electricity supply when:
–it is switched off at the fused unit or
the fuse is withdrawn, or
–it is switched off at the wall socket
and the plug removed (do not pull
on the cable, only on the plug), or
–the mains fuse is withdrawn; or
–the screw-out fuse is removed, (in
countries where this is applicable).
Ensure current is not restored to the ap-
pliance while maintenance or repair
work is being carried out.
Do not connect the appliance to
the mains electricity supply by an
extension lead.
Extension leads do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance (e.g.
danger of overheating).
Warning and Safety instructions
7

Use of the appliance
Never use an open flame beneath
the cooker hood. To avoid the
danger of fire do not flambéor grill
dishes. When switched on the cooker
hood could draw flames into the filters.
Fat particles drawn into the cooker
hood present 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.
When cooking with oil or fat, chip
pans and deep fat fryers etc, do
not leave the pans unattended.
Overheated oil and fat can ignite and
could set the cooker hood on fire.
Do not use the cooker hood with-
out the grease filters in place.
This way you will avoid the risk of
grease and dirt getting into the ap-
pliance and hindering its smooth oper-
ation.
Clean or change the filters regu-
larly.
An over-greasy filter is a fire hazard.
Under no circumstances use a
steam cleaner to clean this ap-
pliance.
Pressurised steam could reach the
electrical components and cause a
short circuit.
Installation
The cooker hood can only be in-
stalled above an electric hob.
Safety regulations prohibit the fitting of
this cooker hood over a gas hob, a
solid fuel stove or an open grill (elec-
tric).
The distance between the top of
the hob and the bottom of the
cooker hood (when the vapour guide is
completely retracted) must measure at
least 50 cm.
All ducting, pipework and fittings
must be of non-flammable ma-
terial. These can be obtained from the
Miele Spare Parts department or from
builders’merchants.
The appliance must not be con-
nected to a chimney or vent 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, take
professional advice.
Warning and Safety instructions
8

When using the cooker hood at the
same time as another heating ap-
pliance which depends on the air in the
room, (e.g. gas, oil or coal fired
heaters, continuous flow or other water
heaters, gas cooker, gas hob or gas
oven) special care must be taken, as
the action of the cooker hood extracts
air from the room, which these types of
heater need for combustion.
In order to ensure safe operation, and
to prevent the gases given off by the
heating appliances from being drawn
back into the room when the extractor
and the heater are in operation simulta-
neously, an underpressure in the room
of 0.04 mbar (4 pa) is the maximum
permissible.
Ventilation can be maintained by air in-
lets which cannot be blocked, in win-
dows, doors and outside wall vents, or
by other technical measures, such as
ensuring that the extractor can only be
switched on when the heating ap-
pliance is switched off or vice-versa.
N.B.: The overall ventilation condition of
the dwelling must be taken into ac-
count.
If in any doubt, the advice of a compe-
tent builder or, for gas, a “Corgi”instal-
ler must be sought.
In countries which may be subject
to infestation by cockroaches or
other vermin, pay particular attention to
keeping the appliance and its surround-
ings in a clean condition at all times.
Any damage which might be caused
by cockroaches or other vermin will not
be covered by the appliance guaran-
tee.
Disposal of your old appliance
Before discarding an old ap-
pliance switch off and disconnect
from the power supply. Cut off and ren-
der any plug useless. Cut off the cable
directly behind the appliance to pre-
vent misuse. This should be done by a
competent person.
The manufacturer cannot be held re-
sponsible for any damage caused
by non-observance of these instruc-
tions.

Operation
Switching on
When the vapour guide is completely
retracted, the electrical connection is
switched off. In this position the cooker
hood cannot be operated.
To be switched on the vapour guide
must be drawn down slightly.
When the vapour guide is drawn down
a few centimetres to the "light position"
the hob illumniation can be switched on
or off. When the vapour guide is pulled
down further (“fan position”) all the
other functions can be activated.
The first time the cooker hood is
switched on and drawn down it will run
as follows (factory setting):
–Light on.
–Power level II.
The fan motor can be switched off by
pressing the left hand side of the power
level touch control. To switch on again,
press the right hand side of the control.
Selecting the power level
Depending on how much the air needs
to be filtered, there are four power le-
vels available. For normal cooking a
low to medium level is usually suffi-
cient. For frying or cooking food with a
strong aroma the fourth level (intensive
setting) is recommended.
Setting the power level manually:
low setting intensive setting
Select the power level required by
pressing on the left hand or right hand
side of the touch control.
The indicator lamps show which power
level has been chosen.
Setting the power level automatically:
Press the "AUTO" touch control.
The indicator lamp comes on. The
power setting can now be regulated by
drawing down the vapour guide or re-
tracting it.

With automatic operation the power set-
ting can also be altered manually.
Use the power level control to select
the setting required.
Whatever the position of the vapour
guide the fan will switch to the power
setting required.
If you bring the vapour guide to the
position which corresponds to the
manually selected setting, the ap-
pliance will revert to "AUTO" oper-
ation.
Run-on option
If the air still needs to be cleared after
cooking, the cooker hood can be set to
continue running.
The fan motor will then be switched off
automatically after a further 5 or 15
minutes.
Press the run-on option touch control.
Press once = 5 minutes run-on time
Press twice = 15 minutes run-on time
Press 3 times = switch off
The relevant indicator lamp glows to
confirm the time selected.
To deactivate the run-on option time,
press the run-on option touch control
until both the control lamps go out.
Switching off
You can switch the fan off by either
repeatedly pressing the left hand
side of the power control until all the
indicator lamps go out,
or
retracting the vapour guide.
The next time the vapour guide is
drawn down, the fan will run at
power level II.
Switching the lighting on or off
The lighting in the cooker hood for il-
luminating the hob can be switched on
or off independently of the fan.
Draw the vapour guide down slightly.
Press the touch control for the light-
ing.
To switch the lighting off either press
the lighting touch control again, or re-
tract the vapour guide.
Operation

Filter operating hours counter
The operating hours counter for the
grease filter is set at the factory for 30
hours. (This can be changed if re-
quired. See “Altering the grease filter
operating hours”).
After this set time has elapsed the indi-
cator lamp for the grease filter touch
control glows. The grease filters must
then be cleaned.
After the grease filters have been
cleaned and put back in place, the fil-
ter operating hours counter must be re-
set.
To do this, press the grease filter
touch control and hold for about 4
seconds.
The indicator lamp will go out.
Reading the filter operating
hours counter
To check the percentage of time set al-
ready used:
Switch the fan on.
Press the grease filter touch control.
One or several of the power level touch
controls will flash.
The number of flashing lamps shows
the percentage of the operating time
which has already been used up.
1 lamp = 25%
2 lamps = 50%
3 lamps = 75%
4 lamps = 100%
The number of operating hours used re-
mains in the memory, even when the
appliance is switched off or there is a
power cut.
Operation
12

Altering the filter operating
hours counter
You can set the operating hours
counter to suit the type of cooking you
do.
–Select a short time if you roast or fry
a lot.
–If you use very little fat for cooking,
select a longer time.
–If you only cook occassionally, we
still recommend that you select a
short time because grease which
has built up gradually over a long
period of time will harden on the
grease filters and make cleaning
more difficult.
Altering the grease filter
operating hours
The operating hours counter for the
grease filter is set at 30 hours. This can
be lengthened or shortened. You can
choose from 20, 30, 40 or 50 hours.
Pull down the vapour guide into the
“fan position”.
Switch off the fan by pressing the left
hand side of the power level touch
control.
Press the run-on and grease filter
touch controls at the same time.
The indicator lamp for the grease filter
touch control and one of the control
lamps for the power level touch control
will flash.
The power level touch control lamps
show the time which has been set:
1st lamp from left = 20 hours
2nd lamp from left = 30 hours
3rd lamp from left = 40 hours
4th lamp from left = 50 hours
Use the power level touch control to
select the desired time.
Confirm the procedure by pressing
the grease filter touch control.
If the procedure is not confirmed
within 4 minutes of programming
the steps, the cooker hood will auto-
matically revert to the "old" data.
Operation
13

Power cut
If there is a power cut while the vapour
guide is pulled down, the Automatic
function is cancelled.
Restore as follows:
Push the vapour guide right back in
(until a resistance is felt).
Draw the vapour guide back down
again until the desired power level
position is reached.
Operation
14

Cleaning and care
Before any cleaning or maintenance
work the cooker hood must be iso-
lated from the power supply at the
mains fuse box or the wall connec-
tion unit (as appropiate). See "Warn-
ing and Safety" instructions.
Ensure current is not supplied to the
appliance while maintenance or re-
pair work is being carried out.
Housing
For stainless steel surfaces a mild non-
abrasive proprietary stainless steel
cleaner is suitable. Use a mild solution
of washing up liquid and warm water to
clean any painted surfaces.
Rub dry with a soft cloth.
Never use a cleaner which scours
or contains chlorine, acids or soda.
These would damage the surface of
the cooker hood.
Grease filters
Re-usable metal grease filters are fitted
which remove solid particles (oil, dust,
etc.) from the kitchen vapours, prevent-
ing soiling of the cooker hood.
The grease filters should be cleaned
regularly to avoid a build-up of fat, (ap-
prox. 3-4 weeks on average, but
sooner if necessary). Always clean the
filters immediately when the lamp for
the grease filter touch control comes on.
An over-greasy filter is a fire hazard.
To remove the upper grease filter
push the filter hand hold to the back,
and remove downwards.
To remove the lower grease filters
take hold of each one by the filter
hand hold and remove downwards.
Cleaning and care
15

Clean the filters
–by hand: with a scrubbing brush in
a mild solution of warm water and
washing up liquid.
–in a dishwasher: place the filter
with the short side upright in the
lower basket, ensuring the spray
arm is not obstructed.
Depending on the cleaning agent
used, cleaning the grease filters in
a dishwasher can cause permanent
discolouration of the surface of the
filters. However, this will not affect
the functioning of the grease filters
in any way.
After cleaning, leave the filters to dry
for a while on an absorbent surface
before putting it back in place.
When removing the filters for clean-
ing also clean off any residues of oil
or fat from the now accessible hous-
ing to prevent the risk of these catch-
ing fire.
After putting the grease filters back
in place, press the grease filter touch
control for approx. 4 seconds to re-
set the operating time counter.
