^

Glass surfaces can be cleaned using
glass cleaner.

Avoid:

cleaning agents containing soda,

–

acids or chlorides,

abrasive cleaning agents

–

e.g. powder or cream cleansers,

abrasive sponges, e.g. pot scourers

–

or sponges which have been
previously used with abrasive
cleaning agents.

These will damage the surface.

The following instructions for cleaning
"Stainless steel" surfaces and "Stainless
steel colored controls" should be
followed in addition to the general
"Cleaning the casing" instructions.

Stainless steel

Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned
using a non-abrasive stainless steel
cleaner.

16

Cleaning and care

Grease filter

The reusable metal grease filter
removes solid particles from the vented
kitchen air (grease, dust, etc).

The grease filter should be cleaned
every3-4weeks, when the grease
filter indicator lights, or when they are
visibly dirty, whichever comes first.

A dirty filter is a fire hazard.

,

Removing the grease filter

To remove the grease filter pull the

^

locking clip forward. Lower the filter
45° unhook it at the rear and take it
out. Support the grease filter so that it
does not fall onto the cooktop.

17

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the grease filter

By hand: use a scrub brush with a

^

solution of warm water and mild
detergent.

aggressive all purpose cleaners,
oven sprays, abrasive cleaning
agents or limescale removers. They
could destroy the filter.

In a dishwasher: place the filter

^

vertically in the lower basket, making
sure that the spray arm is not
blocked.
Use a hot temperature program,
e.g. "Heavy Soil" or "Pots and pans".
Use the recommended amount of
dishwasher detergent. Overuse could
destroy the filter.

Depending on the detergent,
cleaning the grease filter in a
dishwasher may cause permanent
discoloration of the filter surface.
Performance of the filter will not be
affected by this discoloration.

^

After cleaning, the filter can be
placed on a towel to air dry.

If the filter is incorrectly installed,

^

insert a small screwdriver into the slit
along its edge to disengage it from
the casing.

^ After returning the grease filter, press

the grease filter button for 3 seconds
to reset the timer.
The indicator light will go out.

^ If the grease filter is cleaned before

the grease filter timer has reached its
maximum, the grease filter button
should be pressed for 6 seconds to
reset the counter to zero.

^

While the filter is removed, clean any
dirt or grease from the interior casing
to prevent the risk of fire.

^

When putting the grease filter back
make sure that the locking clip is
facing the cooking surface.

Air extraction

WARNING

,

Danger of toxic fumes.

Exhaust ducting and connections

The ducting should be as short and

–

straight as possible, and the number
of sharp bends should be minimized.

Gas cooking appliances release
carbon monoxide that can be
harmful or fatal if inhaled.
To reduce the risk of fire and to
properly exhaust air, the exhaust
gases extracted by the hood
should be vented outside of the
building only.

Do not vent exhaust air into
spaces within walls or ceilings or
in attics, crawl spaces, or garages

To reduce the risk of fire, only use
metal ductwork.

Please read and follow the

"IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS" to reduce the risk of

personal injury. Follow all local building
codes when installing the hood.

For most efficient air extraction, the

–

diameter of the ductwork should not
be less than 6" (150 mm). Use of flat
ducts also reduces the air extraction
efficiency.

Noise levels of the hood will increase

–

if flat ducts or round ducts of less
than 6" (150 mm) in diameter are
used.

– Use smooth or flexible pipes made

from approved non-flammable
materials for exhaust ducting.

– Where the ductwork is horizontal, it

must slope away from the hood at

1

least

/8" per foot (1 cm per meter) to
prevent condensation dripping into
the appliance.

– If the exhaust is ducted through an

outside wall, a Miele Telescopic Wall
Vent can be used.

28

– If the exhaust is ducted into an

inactive flue, the air must be expelled
parallel to the flow direction of the
flue.

Never connect an exhaust hood to
an active chimney, dryer vent, flue,
or room venting ductwork. Seek
professional advice before
connecting an exhaust hood vent to
an existing, inactive chimney or vent
flue.

Important

Air extraction

Condensate trap

optional accessory

In some cases, a condensate trap may
be required to collect and evaporate
any condensation which may develop.
This optional accessory is available for
ducts 5" (125 mm) and 6" (150 mm) in
diameter.

exhaust outlet.

If the ductwork runs through rooms,
ceilings, garages, etc. where
temperature variations exist, it may
need to be insulated to reduce
condensation.
