Technical safety
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK,
OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
– Use this appliance only in the manner intended by the
manufacturer. If you have questions, contact Miele.
– Before servicing or cleaning the appliance, switch power off at
the service panel and lock the service disconnecting means to
prevent power from being switched on accidentally. If the service
disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a
prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.
Installation, repair and maintenance work should be performed by
a Miele authorized service technician in accordance with national
and local safety regulations and the provided installation
instructions. Contact Miele’s Technical Service Department for
examination, repair or adjustment. Repairs and other work by
unauthorized persons could be dangerous and may void the
warranty.
A damaged ventilation hood oven can be dangerous. Always
check for visible signs of damage. Never use a damaged ventilation
hood.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Be certain your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a
qualified technician. To guarantee the electrical safety of this
appliance, continuity must exist between the appliance and an
effective grounding system. It is imperative that this basic safety
requirement be met. If there is any doubt, have the electrical system
of the house checked by a qualified electrician.
To avoid damaging the ventilation hood, make sure that the
connection data (voltage and frequency) on the data plate
correspond to the building's power supply before connecting the
appliance. When in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
Do not use a power bar or extension cord to connect the
ventilation hood to electricity. These are a fire hazard and do not
guarantee the required level of appliance safety.
To ensure safe operation, only use the ventilation hood after it has
been properly installed.
This ventilation hood may not be used in non-stationary locations
(e.g. on a ship).
Only open the housing as described in the enclosed "Installation
diagram" and in the "Cleaning and care" section of this manual.
Under no circumstances should any other parts of the housing be
opened.
Tampering with electrical connections or components and
mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can cause
operation faults.
5
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Defective components should be replaced by Miele original parts
only. Only with these parts can the manufacturer guarantee the
safety of the appliance.
If the power cord is damaged, it must only be replaced by a
qualified service technician.
During installation, maintenance, and repair work, the ventilation
hood must be disconnected from the electrical supply. It is only
completely isolated from the electricity supply if one of the following
applies:
– The circuit breakers on the electrical service panel are tripped.
– The screw-type fuses on the electrical service panel have been
removed.
– The power cable (if present) has been unplugged from the socket
(pull the plug not the cord).
Proper use
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A COOKTOP GREASE
FIRE:
– a) Never leave surface units unattended at high settings.
Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers may ignite. Heat
oils slowly on low or medium settings.
– b) Always turn the hood on when cooking at a high heat.
– c) Clean the ventilation hood frequently. Grease should not be
allowed to accumulate on the fan or filter.
– d) Use the proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for
the size of the cooking area.
Never use an open flame beneath the ventilation hood.
To avoid the risk of fire, do not flambé or grill over an open flame.
When turned on, the ventilation hood will draw any flames into the
filter. Fat deposits may ignite.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN
THE EVENT OF A COOKTOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE
FOLLOWING*:
– a) SMOTHER FLAMES with a close fitting lid, cookie sheet, or
metal tray then turn off the burner. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT
BURNS. If the flames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE AND
CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
– b) NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN - You may be burned.
– c) DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels - a
violent steam explosion will result.
– d) Use a fire extinguisher ONLY if:
– 1) You have a class ABC extinguisher, and you know how to operate it.
– 2) The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
– 3) The fire department is being called.
– 4) You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
*Based on "Kitchen Firesafety Tips" published by NFPA.
The ventilation hood may become damaged if exposed to
excessive heat from a gas cooktop.
– When using the ventilation hood over a gas cooktop, ensure that
any burners in use are always covered by cookware. Turn burners
off when removing the cookware, even if doing so for just a short
time.
– Select cookware that is suitable for the size of the burner.
– Adjust the flame so that it never extends up the sides of the
cookware.
– Avoid overheating the cookware (e.g., when cooking with a wok).
Always turn the ventilation hood on whenever a burner is in use to
prevent damage from condensation.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Overheated oils and fats can ignite and set the ventilation hood
on fire.
When cooking with oils or fats, do not leave pots, pans or fryers
unattended. Never leave an electric grill unattended when grilling.
Fat and debris deposits impair the proper functioning of the
ventilation hood.
To ensure that cooking vapors are properly cleaned, never use the
ventilation hood without the grease filters in place.
A filter containing too much grease is a fire hazard!
The filters should be cleaned or replaced at regular intervals.
Please note that the heat rising from the stovetop during cooking
can cause the ventilation hood to become very hot.
Do not touch the housing or the grease filters until the ventilation
hood has cooled down.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Proper installation
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK,
OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
– a) Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by
qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and
standards, including fire-rated construction.
– b) Sufficient air is needed for combustion and exhausting of
gases through the flue (chimney of fuel burning equipment to
prevent back drafting. Follow the heating equipment
manufacturer’s guideline and safety standards such as those
published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and
the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air
Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.
– c) When cutting or drilling into the wall or ceiling, do not damage
electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
– d) Ducted hoods must always be vented to the outdoors.
– e) Do not use this hood with any solid-state speed control device.
To determine whether a ventilation hood may be operated above
your cooking appliance, please refer to the information provided by
the appliance's manufacturer.
Safety regulations prohibit the installation of a ventilation hood
above solid fuel stoves.
Insufficient distance between the cooking appliance and the
ventilation hood can result in damage to the hood.
The minimum safety distances between the appliance and the
bottom of the ventilation hood specified in the "Installation" section
must be maintained, unless the appliance's manufacturer has
indicated that a greater distance is required.
If more than one cooking appliance is used beneath the ventilation
hood, and if different minimum safety distances apply for these
appliances, you should use the greater distance.
9
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Be sure to observe the information contained in the "Installation"
section when mounting the ventilation hood.
When installing the exhaust duct, only use pipes or tubes made of
non-flammable material. These can be obtained from your Miele
dealer or from Miele Technical Service.
Exhaust air should not be vented into a chimney or vent flue
which is otherwise in use and should not be channeled into ducting
which ventilates rooms with fuel-burning installations.
If exhaust air is to be extracted into a chimney or vent flue no
longer used for other purposes, be sure to comply with all applicable
regulations.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE USE ONLY METAL
DUCTWORK.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Cleaning and care
Never use a steam cleaner to clean the ventilation hood.
The steam can reach the electrical components and cause a short
circuit.
Accessories
Use only genuine original Miele parts. If parts or accessories from
other manufacturers are used, the warranty will become void.
