Warning and Safety instructions
This appliance conforms to current safety requirements. Incorrect use can lead to injury and damage to the appliance.
Before installation and before using for the first time read the operating instructions carefully. They contain important information on safety, use and maintenance of the appliance. This way you will avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the appliance.
Keep these operating instructions in a safe place and pass them on to any future user.
Correct usage
The appliance is intended for domestic use only.
The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use of the appliance.
Technical safety
Before connecting the appliance to the mains supply, make sure
that the voltage and frequency details on the data plate correspond with the on-site electricity supply. This data must correspond in order to avoid risk of damage to the appliance. Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.
The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between the appliance and an effective earthing system which complies with local and national regulations. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is tested by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
Installation work and repairs may only be carried out by suitably
qualified and competent persons to ensure safety. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous and the manufacturer will not be held responsible.
This equipment is not designed for maritime use or for use in mobile in-
stallations such as caravans, aircraft etc. However, it may be suitable for such usage subject to a risk assessment of the installation being carried out by a suitably qualified engineer.

Warning and Safety instructions
The appliance is only completely isolated from the electricity supply
when:
–it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug removed. (Do not pull on the cable, only on the plug), or
–the fuse from the fused spur connection unit is withdrawn or,
–the mains fuse is withdrawn, or
–the screw-out fuse is removed in countries where this is applicable.
Ensure power is not supplied to the appliance while maintenance
or repair work is being carried out.
Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by an
extension lead.
Extension leads do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance, (e.g. danger of overheating).
Use
Do not let small children play with the appliance or its controls or
operate it. Supervise its use by the elderly or infirm.
Never use an open flame beneath the cooker hood. 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 particles drawn into the cooker hood present a fire hazard.
When using the cooker hood over a gas hob ensure that any burners
in use are always covered by a pan.
Otherwise flames could be drawn up by the suction of the cooker hood, parts of which could then be damaged.
Always switch the cooker hood on when using the hob, otherwise con-
densation may collect in the hood, which could cause corrosion.
When cooking with oil or fat, chip pans and deep fat fryers etc, do not leave the pans unattended. Never
leave an open grill unattended when grilling. Overheated oil and fat can ignite and could set the cooker hood on fire.
Do not use the cooker hood without the grease filters in place.
This way you will avoid the risk of grease and dirt getting into the appliance and hindering its smooth operation.
The filters should be regularly cleaned or changed as appropri-
ate. Saturated filters are a fire hazard.
Under no circumstances use a steam cleaner to clean this ap-
pliance. Pressurised steam could reach the electrical components and cause a short circuit.
In countries where there are areas which may be subject to infesta-
tion by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance 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 appliance guarantee.

Warning and Safety instructions
Installation
The distance between the top of the cooker/hob and the bottom of
the cooker hood must measure at least:
–450 mm above electric hobs and cookers
–650 mm above gas hobs and cookers
–650 mm above an open grill from our range
When fitted above an open grill the cooker hood must not be used in recirculation mode.
For non-Miele cooking appliances maintain the safety distance as recommended by the manufacturer in their Installation and Operating instructions. If more than one appliance is fitted beneath the cooker hood and they have different minimum safety distances to the cooker hood, select the greater distance.
Safety regulations prohibit the fitting of a cooker hood over solid
fuel stoves.
All ducting, pipework and fittings must be of non-flammable ma-
terial. These can be obtained from the Miele Spare Parts department or from builders’ merchants.
The appliance must not be connected to a chimney or vent 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.
6
Warning and Safety instructions
When using the cooker hood in extraction mode at the same time
as another heating appliance which depends on the air in the room, (e.g. gas, oil or coal fired heaters, continuous flow or other water heaters, gas cooker, gas hob or gas oven) special care must be taken, as the action of the cooker hood extracts air from the room, which these types of heater need for combustion.
They could also draw exhaust air back in from chimneys or ducting in contravention of fire safety regulations.
In order to ensure safe operation, and to prevent gases given off by the heating appliances from being drawn back into the room when the extractor and the heater are in operation simultaneously, an underpressure in the room of 0.04 mbar (4 pa) is the maximum permissible.
Ventilation can be maintained by air inlets which cannot be blocked, in windows, doors and outside wall vents, or by other technical measures, such as ensuring that the extractor can only be switched on when the heating appliance is switched off or vice-versa.
N.B: 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 "Corgi" installer must be sought.
If the cooker hood is operated in recirculation mode (with active charcoal filter) then the above restrictions do not apply.
Appliances with external fans
For appliances with an external fan motor fitted (EXT models) the con-
nection of the two units must be made using the connection cable and the plug connectors. Make sure the correct combination of the two appliances has been selected.
Separate instructions are supplied with the external fan.
Disposal of your old appliance
Before discarding an old appliance, switch off and disconnect
it from the power supply. Cut off and render any plug useless. Cut off the cable directly behind the appliance to prevent misuse.
This should be done by a competent person.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by noncompliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.

Functional description
The cooker hood works with
. . . air recirculation:
. . . air extraction
The air is drawn in and cleaned by the grease filters and directed outside.
The cooker hood is fitted with a non-return flap.
This flap is closed when the cooker hood is switched off. No exchange of room air and outside air can take place. When the cooker hood is switched on, the non-return flap opens for the cooking vapours to be blown directly outside.
The air is drawn in and cleaned first by grease filters and then cleaned by active charcoal filters. The cleaned air is then recirculated back into the kitchen through a vent in the top of the cooker hood extension piece.
Before using the cooker hood for the first time, ensure that the active charcoal filters are in place, see section on "Cleaning and care".
. . . an external fan
The EXT models are designed to be connected to an external fan located outside the room.
The external fan is connected to the cooker hood by means of a control cable and is operated by the control panel on the cooker hood.
