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 an-
other heating appliance that depends on the air from the room.
Such heating appliances draw in air from the room and duct ex-
haust gases out to the open air 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 neigh-
bouring 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, an underpressure 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 ventila-
tion. 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 should be sought.
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 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
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.
 This cooker hood is not suitable for placing objects on.
Proper 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 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 de-
scribed 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 cir-
cuit.
Accessories
 Only use genuine original Miele accessories and spare parts with
this appliance. Using accessories or spare parts from other manu-
facturers will invalidate the warranty and Miele cannot accept liabil-
ity.

Caring for the environment
13
Disposal of the packing mater-
ial
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 manufactur-
ing process and also reduces the
amount of waste in landfill sites.
Disposing of your old appli-
ance
Electrical and electronic appliances of-
ten contain valuable materials. They
also contain specific materials, com-
pounds and components, which were
essential for their correct function and
safety. These could be hazardous to hu-
man 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 com-
munity waste collection / recycling
centre for electrical and electronic ap-
pliances, or contact your dealer or
Miele for advice. You are also respons-
ible 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.

Modes of operation
16
Depending on the model of the cooker
hood, the following options are avail-
able:
Extraction mode
The air is drawn in and cleaned by the
grease filters and directed outside.
Recirculation mode
(recirculation mode cooker hoods re-
quire a conversion kit and charcoal fil-
ter, see “Technical Data”)
The air is drawn in and cleaned first by
the grease filters and then by a charcoal
filter. The cleaned air is then recircu-
lated back into the kitchen.

Operation
17
Switching the fan on
Switch the fan on as soon as you start
cooking. This is to ensure that vapours
are captured right from the start.
Press the On/Off control .
The fan will switch on at setting 2 and
the  symbol and 2 will light up in the
power setting display.
Selecting the power level

automatically and that the lighting is
switched off.
- If the Booster setting has been selec-
ted, the fan will automatically switch
to level 3 after 5minutes.
- From fan power levels 3, 2 or 1, the
power will be reduced by one level
after 2hours and then in 30-minute
stages until the fan finally switches
off.
- The hob lighting will switch off auto-
matically after 12hours.

Operation

tivated, the cooker hood will switch it-
self off automatically after 12hours if it
has been left on (fan and hob lighting).
To switch it on again press the On/
Off control or the lighting con-
trol.

Energy saving tips
19
This cooker hood operates very effi-
ciently and economically. The following
will help you to save even more energy
when using it:
- Ensure that there is sufficient ventila-
tion in the kitchen when cooking. In
extraction mode, if there is insuffi-
cient air flow the cooker hood cannot
operate efficiently and this causes in-
creased operating noise levels.
- Always cook with the lowest possible
setting. This produces fewer cooking
vapours, so you can use a lower
cooker hood power level and there-
fore benefit from reduced energy
consumption.
- Check the power level selected on
the cooker hood. A lower power level
is generally sufficient for the majority
of cooking. Only use the Booster set-
ting when necessary.
- When a large volume of cooking va-
pours is being produced, switch to a
high power level in good time. This is
more efficient than operating the
cooker hood for longer to try to cap-
ture cooking vapours which have
already been distributed throughout
the kitchen.
- Make sure that you switch the cooker
hood off after use.
- Clean or change the filters at regular
intervals. Heavily soiled filters reduce
performance, increase the risk of fire
and are unhygienic.

Cleaning and care
20
Before proceeding with any
maintenance or cleaning task, the
cooker hood must be disconnected
from the power supply (see “Warning
and Safety instructions”).
Housing
General information
Unsuitable cleaning agents can dam-
age the surfaces and control ele-
ments.
Do not use any cleaning agents con-
taining soda, acid, chloride or
solvent.
Do not use any abrasive cleaning
agents, e.g. powder cleaners or
cream cleaners and abrasive
sponges, as well as pot scourers or
sponges which have been used pre-
viously with abrasive cleaning
agents.
Moisture in the cooker hood can
cause damage.
Make sure that water does not get
into the cooker hood.
All external surfaces and control ele-
ments can be cleaned using hot wa-
ter with a small amount of washing-
up liquid applied with a well wrung-
out soft sponge or cloth.
After cleaning, wipe the surfaces dry
using a soft cloth.
Important information for appliances
with stainless steel surfaces
This information does not apply to the
control buttons.
Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned
with a non-abrasive cleaning agent de-
signed specifically for use on stainless
steel.
To prevent the surfaces from quickly
becoming dirty again, we recommend
treating them with a stainless steel care
product (available from Miele).
Important information for appliances
with lacquered casing
(Customisation on request)
Minor scratches on the surface are in-
evitable when cleaning the casing;
they may be visible depending on the
lighting in the kitchen.
