Technical safety
 Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can cause
considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance and
repairs must only be carried out by your Miele dealer.
 The downdraft extractor must only be installed and operated in
combination with those SmartLine elements and hob units specified
by Miele.
 Damage to the downdraft extractor can compromise your safety.
Check it for visible signs of damage. Do not use a damaged
downdraft extractor.
 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 electrical safety of the downdraft extractor 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. If in doubt, the electrical
installation should be checked by a qualified electrician.

Warning and Safety instructions
9
 Before connecting the downdraft extractor to the mains supply,
ensure that the connection data on the data plate (voltage and
frequency) match the mains electricity supply. This data must
correspond in order to avoid the risk of damage to the downdraft
extractor.
Compare this data before connecting the appliance to the mains.
Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt.
 Multi-socket adapters and extension leads do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance (fire hazard). Do not use these to
connect the downdraft extractor to the mains electricity supply.
 For safety reasons, this downdraft extractor may only be used
after it has been built in.
 This downdraft extractor must not be installed and operated in
mobile installations (e.g. on a ship).
 Any contact with live connections or tampering with the electrical
or mechanical components of the downdraft extractor will endanger
your safety and may lead to appliance malfunctions.
Only open the casing as described in the installation instructions and
in the “Cleaning and care” section of this booklet. Under no
circumstances should any other parts of the casing be opened.
 The manufacturer's warranty will be invalidated if the downdraft
extractor is not repaired by a Miele authorised technician.
 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.
 The downdraft extractor is not intended for use with an external
timer switch or a remote control system.
 If the plug is removed from the connection cable or if the cable is
supplied without a plug, the downdraft extractor must be connected
to the electrical supply by a suitably qualified electrician.

Warning and Safety instructions
10
 If the mains connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced
with a special mains connection cable by a qualified electrician (see
“Electrical connection” in the “Installation” chapter).
 During installation, maintenance and repair work, the downdraft
extractor must be completely disconnected from the mains
electricity supply. It is only completely isolated from the electricity
supply when:
- the mains fuse has been disconnected or
- the screw-out fuses have been fully unscrewed or
- the plug (if present) is removed from the socket. To do this, pull
the plug not the mains connection cable.

Warning and Safety instructions
11
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 downdraft extractor 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 hobs and ovens.
The downdraft extractor 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!

Warning and Safety instructions
12
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 downdraft extractor 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 should be sought.
If the downdraft extractor is being operated in recirculation mode,
where the air is directed back into the room in which it is located,
operating a heating appliance which depends on the room air at
the same time is not hazardous.

Warning and Safety instructions
13
Correct use
 Open flames are a fire hazard.
Never use an open flame beside the downdraft extractor. To avoid
the danger of fire, do not flambé or grill over an open flame. When
switched on, the downdraft extractor could draw flames into the
filter. Fat deposits could ignite, presenting a fire hazard.
 Overheated oil and fat can ignite, causing fire damage to the
downdraft extractor.
When cooking with oil or fat, chip pans and deep fat fryers, etc, do
not leave the pots and pans unattended. Similarly, never leave an
open grill unattended when grilling.
 Deposits of grease and dirt will prevent the downdraft extractor
from working properly.
Do not use the downdraft extractor without the grease filters in
place. Otherwise cooking vapours will not be cleaned.
 Hot cooking vapours during cooking can cause the downdraft
extractor to get hot.
Do not touch the casing or the grease filters until the downdraft
extractor has cooled down.
 Do not use the downdraft extractor for resting objects on.
 Liquids can damage the downdraft extractor if they get into it.
Keep liquids away from the downdraft extractor.
 Light objects can be drawn into the downdraft extractor and
impair its operation.
Do not place any light objects (e.g. paper towels) within close
proximity of the downdraft extractor.
 If you are operating a gas cooking element directly next to the
downdraft extractor, the FlameGuard must be placed between the
downdraft extractor and the element.

Warning and Safety instructions
14
Cleaning and care
 The steam from a steam cleaning appliance could reach live
electrical components and cause a short circuit.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the downdraft extractor.
 There is a risk of fire if the cooker hood is not cleaned as
described in these operating instructions.
 Miele will guarantee to supply functional spare parts for a
minimum of 10years and up to 15years following the
discontinuation of your CombiSet.
Accessories
 Only use genuine original Miele accessories and spare parts with
this appliance. Using accessories or spare parts from other
manufacturers will invalidate the guarantee, and Miele cannot accept
liability.

Caring for the environment
15
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.
Disposal of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain valuable materials. They
also contain materials which, if handled
or disposed of incorrectly, could be
potentially hazardous to human health
and to the environment. They are,
however, essential for the correct
functioning of your appliance. Please
do not therefore dispose of it with your
household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre or contact your Miele dealer for
advice.
Ensure that it presents no danger to
children while being stored for disposal.

Extraction mode
The air is drawn in and cleaned by the
grease filter and directed outside.
Recirculation mode
(DUU 1000(-1) conversion kit required)
The air is drawn in and cleaned by the
grease filter. The air is then directed into
the recirculation box where it is also
cleaned by the charcoal filters. The
cleaned air is then recirculated back
into the kitchen.

Tips on saving energy
20
This downdraft extractor operates very
efficiently and economically. The
following will help you to save even
more energy when using it:
- It is important to ensure that the
kitchen is well ventilated during
operation. In extraction mode if there
is insufficient air flow, the downdraft
extractor 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
power level and therefore benefit
from reduced energy consumption.
- Check the selected power level on
the downdraft extractor. A low power
level is usually sufficient. 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 downdraft extractor for longer to
try to capture cooking vapours which
have already been distributed
throughout the kitchen.
- Switch the downdraft extractor off
after cooking.
- Clean or replace the filters at regular
intervals. Heavily soiled filters reduce
performance, increase the risk of fire
and are unhygienic.
