Technical safety
 Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs (including
removal of any cover) 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 continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing
system. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is
present and tested regularly and, where there is any doubt, the
household wiring system should be inspected by a qualified
electrician.
 Temporary or permanent operation with a self-sufficient or non-
mains synchronous energy supply system (e.g. isolated networks,
back-up systems) is possible. A requirement for the operation is that
the energy supply system complies with all current local and national
requirements that apply to stand-alone, solar and/or battery
systems.
The protective measures provided in the installation and in this Miele
product must also be assured in their function and operation in
isolated operation or in non-mains synchronous operation, or
replaced with equivalent measures in the installation.
 The connection data (voltage and frequency) on the data plate of
the rangehood must match the mains electricity supply in order to
avoid the risk of damage to the rangehood.
Compare this before connecting the appliance to the mains
electricity. If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
 Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by a
multi-socket unit or an extension lead. Extension leads 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.
 This rangehood must not be installed and operated in mobile
installations (e.g. on a ship).
 Tampering with electrical connections or components 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 service technician.
 If the mains connection cable is damaged, it must only be
replaced by a Miele authorised service technician or suitably
qualified and competent electrician in order to avoid a hazard.
 During installation, maintenance and repair work, the appliance
must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply. It is only
completely isolated from the electricity supply when:
- the mains circuit breaker is switched off, or
- it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn from
the socket. Do not pull the mains connection cable but the mains
plug to disconnect your appliance 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
Danger of toxic fumes!
Great care should be taken when using the rangehood in the same
room or the same area of the house 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 cooktops and ovens.
The rangehood 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, 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.
This could have potentially fatal consequences. Risk of death!

Warning and Safety instructions
9
In order to ensure safe operation and to prevent gases given off by
a heating appliance from being drawn back into the room, when
the rangehood 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
diameter 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, 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) must be
sought.
If the rangehood 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!
Never use an open flame under the rangehood. To avoid the danger
of fire, do not flambé or grill over an open flame. When switched on,
the rangehood could draw flames into the filter. Kitchen grease
deposits could ignite.
 The rangehood can become damaged when exposed to excessive
heat.
- When using the rangehood over a gas cooktop, 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 rangehood on when a cooking zone is in use,
otherwise condensation may collect in the rangehood, which could
cause corrosion.
 Overheated oil and fat can ignite, causing fire damage to the
rangehood.
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 rangehood 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 rangehood can get very hot during cooking due to heat rising
from the cooktop.
Do not touch the housing or the grease filters until the rangehood
has cooled down.
 This rangehood is not suitable for placing objects on.
Correct installation
 To determine whether a rangehood 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 rangehood over solid
fuel stoves.
 An insufficient safety distance between the stovetop and the
rangehood can result in damage to the rangehood.
The minimum safety distances between the top of the cooktop and
the bottom of the rangehood given in the “Installation” section of
these instructions must be observed, unless the cooktop
manufacturer states that a greater safety distance is required.
If more than one cooking appliance is fitted beneath the rangehood,
and they have different minimum safety distances to the rangehood,
select the greater distance.
 The information provided in “Installation” must be observed when
installing the rangehood.
 There may be a risk of injury due to protruding parts and sharp
edges.
Wear gloves that offer protection against cuts during assembly.
 All ducting, pipework and fittings must be of non-flammable
material and comply with all relevant national and local building
regulations.

Warning and Safety instructions
12
 The appliance must not be connected to a chimney or vent flue
which is in current use for exhausting fumes from appliances burning
gas or other fuels. 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 cleaning is not carried out 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.
 In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or
other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the machine and its
surroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage which
may be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered
by the machine warranty.
Accessories and spare parts
 Use only genuine original Miele spare parts. If spare parts or
accessories from other manufacturers are used, the warranty will be
invalidated, and Miele cannot accept liability.
 Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine Miele spare
parts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of the
appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.
 Miele will guarantee to supply functional spare parts for a
minimum of 10years and up to 15years following the
discontinuation of your appliance.

Caring for the environment
13
Disposal of the packing
material
The transport and protective packaging
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for
disposal, and can normally be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the
use of raw materials in the
manufacturing process and also
reduces the amount of waste in landfill
sites. Ensure that any plastic
wrappings, bags etc. are disposed of
safely and kept out of the reach of
babies and young children. Danger of
suffocation.
Disposing of your old
appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain valuable materials. They
also contain specific materials,
compounds and components, which
were essential for their correct function
and safety. These could be hazardous
to human 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
community waste collection / recycling
centre for electrical and electronic
appliances. You are also responsible for
deleting any personal data that may be
stored on the appliance prior to
disposal. Please ensure that your old
appliance poses no risk to children
while being stored prior to disposal.

Energy saving tips
19
This rangehood operates very efficiently
and economically. The following will
help you to save even more energy
when using it:
- Ensure that there is sufficient
ventilation in the kitchen when
cooking. In extraction mode, if there
is insufficient air flow the rangehood
cannot operate efficiently and this
causes increased operating noise
levels.
- Always cook with the lowest possible
setting. This produces fewer cooking
vapours, so you can use a lower
rangehood power level and therefore
benefit from reduced energy
consumption.
- Check the power level selected on
the rangehood. A lower power level is
generally sufficient for the majority of
cooking. Only use the Booster setting
when necessary.
- When a large volume of cooking
vapours are being produced, switch
to a high power level in good time.
This is more efficient than operating
the rangehood for longer to try to
capture cooking vapours which have
already been distributed throughout
the kitchen.
- Make sure that you switch the
rangehood 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 carrying out any
maintenance or cleaning, the
rangehood must be disconnected
from the electricity supply (see
“Warning and Safety instructions”).
Housing
General information
Unsuitable cleaning agents can
damage the surfaces and control
elements.
Do not use any cleaning agents
containing soda, acid, chloride, or
solvent.
Do not use any abrasive cleaning
agents, e.g. powder cleaners or
cream cleaners and abrasive
sponges, or pot scourers or sponges
which have been used previously
with abrasive cleaning agents.
Moisture in the rangehood can
cause damage.
Make sure that water does not get
into the rangehood.
Clean all surfaces and control
elements using a small amount of
warm water and dishwashing liquid.

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 elements.
Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned
with a non-abrasive cleaning agent
designed 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 for appliances with
lacquered casing
Minor scratches on the surface are
inevitable when cleaning the casing;
they may be visible depending on the
lighting in the kitchen.
