Warning and Safety instructions
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 ap-
pliance 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 installations 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.

Page 5
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 connec-
tion unit is withdrawn or,
– the mains fuse is withdrawn, or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
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 condensation 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 with-
out 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 appropriate. Saturated filters are a fire hazard.
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.
Under no circumstances use a
steam cleaner to clean this appliance. Pressurised steam could
reach the electrical components and
cause a short circuit.
In countries where there are areas
which may be subject to infestation 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.
If exhaust air is to be extracted into
a chimney or ventilation duct no
longer used for other purposes, seek
professional advice.
Safety regulations prohibit the
fitting of a cooker hood over solid
fuel stoves.
All ducting, pipework and fittings
must be of non-flammable material. These can be obtained from the
Miele Spare Parts department or from
builders’ merchants.
The appliance must not be con-
nected to a chimney or vent flue
which is in use. Neither should it be
connected to ducting which ventilates
rooms with fireplaces.
6
Page 7
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.
Appliances with external fans
For appliances with an external fan
motor fitted (EXT models) the connection 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 ap-
pliance, 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.
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.

Operation
Setting/Altering the filter operating
hours counter
You can set the operating hours
counter to suit the type of cooking you
do.
– Select a short time if you roast or fry
a lot.
– If you use very little fat for cooking,
select a longer time.
– If you only cook occasionally we
recommend that you select a short
time because grease which has built
up gradually over a long period of
time will harden on the grease filters
and make cleaning more difficult.
Altering the grease filter operating
hours
The operating hours counter for the
grease filters is set at 30 hours. This
can be lengthened or shortened. You
can choose from 20, 30, 40 or 50 hours.

Housing
Warning: The surfaces and controls
are susceptible to scratches and abrasion. Please observe the following
cleaning instructions:
All external surfaces and controls
can be cleaned using warm water
with a little washing up liquid applied
with a well wrung out soft sponge or
cloth.
Wipe dry using a soft cloth.
agents.
These will damage the surface
material.
Stainless steel
Stainless steel surfaces can be
cleaned using a proprietary non-abrasive cleaning agent designed specifically for use on stainless steel.
To help prevent re-soiling, proprietary
conditioning agents for stainless steel
can also be used.
Apply sparingly with an even pressure.
Stainless steel coloured controls
These controls are made of stainless steel coloured lacquered plastic and may suffer discolouration or
damage if soiling is left on them for
too long.
Remove any soiling straight away.
Do not use stainless steel cleaning
agents on these types of controls.
Do not use too much water when
cleaning the controls. Water could
penetrate into the electronics and
cause damage.
Avoid:
– cleaning agents containing soda,
acids or chlorides,
– abrasive cleaning agents e.g. pow-
der cleaners or cream cleaners and
sponges, e.g. pot scourers or
sponges which have been previously used with abrasive cleaning
16
E-Cloth
A microfibre "E-Cloth" is available from
the Miele UK Spare Parts Department,
Part number 98013530, which is suitable for cleaning surfaces such as
stainless steel, glass, plastic and
chrome without the use of chemicals.
Page 17
Cleaning and care
Grease filters
Re-usable metal filters are fitted which
remove solid particles (oil, dust, etc.)
from the kitchen vapours, preventing
soiling of the cooker hood.
The grease filters should be cleaned
regularly (at least every 3-4 weeks) to
avoid a built-up of fat, but always clean
as soon as the grease filter touch
control lamp comes on.
An over saturated filter is a fire
hazard.
To take out the grease filters press
the locking clips in towards the
middle of the filter. Holding carefully,
lower and remove the filter. Take
care not to let the grease filter fall
onto the hob.
Depending on the cleaning agent
used, cleaning the grease filters in
a dishwasher can cause permanent
discolouration to the surface of the
filters.
However, this will not affect the
functioning of the grease filters in
any way.
After cleaning, leave the filters to dry
on an absorbent surface before putting them back in place.
When removing the filters for cleaning also clean off any residues of oil
or fat from the now accessible housing to prevent the risk of these catching fire.
When putting the grease filters back
in position, ensure that the locking
clips are visible facing down towards
the hob.
Should the grease filters be put back
upside down:
insert a small screwdriver into the
slits to disengage them. Do not let
them drop on to the hob below.
After replacing the grease filters,
press the grease filter touch control
for approx. 3 seconds to re-set the
operating hours counter.
The indicator lamp will go out.
Clean the filters
– by hand: with a nylon brush, warm
water with a little washing up liquid.
– in a dishwasher: place the filters
with the short side upright in the
lower basket, ensuring the spray arm
is not obstructed.
If the grease filters are cleaned before the operating hours counter has
reached its maximum, the grease filter touch control should be pressed
for approx. 6 seconds to reset the
counter to zero.

Page 18
Cleaning and care
Fitting / replacing the active
charcoal filters
If the cooker hood is connected for
recirculation, two active charcoal filters
must be inserted in addition to the
grease filters. These filters absorb
normal kitchen odours.
They are fitted in the canopy above the
grease filters.
Active charcoal filters can be obtained from your dealer or the Miele
Spare Parts Department.
Refer to the section "Technical data"
for type and reference number.
Before fitting or replacing the active
charcoal filters, the grease filters
must first be taken out (see previous
section for instructions on how to do
this).
Unwrap the active charcoal filters.
When fitting for the first time:
Set the operating hours counter to
suit your requirements, (see "Operation – Setting / Altering the filter
operating hours counter").
Always replace the filters as soon as
the lamp for the active charcoal filter
touch control comes on, or if they are
no longer effective in absorbing kitchen
odours.
They should, however, be replaced at
least every 6 months.
After fitting new active charcoal filters, press the active charcoal filter
touch control for approx. 3 seconds
to re-set the operating hours counter.
The indicator lamp will go out.
If the active charcoal filters are
replaced before the operating hours
counter has reached its maximum,
the active charcoal filter touch
control should be pressed for
approx. 6 seconds to reset the
counter to zero.
Secure the active charcoal filters
using the screws enclosed.

Changing a halogen light bulb
Before any cleaning or maintenance
work the cooker hood must be disconnected from the mains supply.
Ensure that:
– it is switched off at the wall socket
and the plug has been withdrawn
(do not pull on the cable, only on
the plug), or
– the fuse has been withdrawn from
the fused spur connection unit, or
– the mains fuse is withdrawn, or
– the screw-out fuse is removed (in
countries where this is applicable).
Exercise caution when changing halogen lamps. They get very hot during use and remain hot for some
time after being switched off.
Do not touch the surface directly
when changing a lamp, as grease
particles from your fingers will adhere to the surface and damage it.
Please follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Cleaning and care
To access the halogen light bulb first
remove the lamp cover
Pull the old halogen light bulb c out
of the connection socket and replace it with a new one.
Replace the lamp cover b carefully,

and the bottom of the cooker hood
should be at least
– 450 mm above an electric hob or
cooker,
– 650 mm above a gas hob or cooker,
– 650 mm above an open grill from
our range
See “Warning and Safety instructions” for further information.
A distance of 650 mm above electric
cookers / hobs may be preferable to
give more working space.
Care should be taken when selecting
the distance S to heed the minimum
distance to the hob, and when installing on the ceiling, that height to ceiling
H is neither too great nor too little.
To fit the tower, distance A between
the top of the tower and the ceiling
must be at least 20 mm.
The shaded area represents
the wall or ceiling area for the
vent cut-out, for feeding the
connection cable through to an external fan and for fitting the connection
socket.
(For recirculation mode the connection
socket may only be fitted in a wall area).

Installation instruction sheet
See enclosed installation sheet for
instructions on how to install this
appliance.
Before installation it is important to read
the information given on the following
pages as well as the "Appliance dimensions" and "Warning and Safety instructions" at the beginning of this book.
Dismantling
Should the appliance ever need to be
dismantled, follow the installation instructions in reverse order as described on the installation sheet.
A lever is supplied to assist with the
removal of the tower.
After loosening the fixing screws on
the tower push the lever between the

Danger of toxic fumes.
Please heed the "Warning and
Safety instructions" to avoid the
danger of toxic fumes.
The cooker hood should be installed according to local building
regulations. Seek approval from the
building inspector where necessary.
– All ducting, pipework and fittings
must be of non-flammable material.
– The extraction ducting should be as
short and straight as possible.
– To ensure efficient air extraction the
diameter of the exhaust ducting
should not be less than 150 mm.
If exhaust ducting with a diameter
of less than 150 mm or flat ducting
were to be used, the noise level of
the cooker hood would increase
and extraction would be less efficient.
Only reduce the diameter of the ducting if absolutely necessary, e.g.
where narrower ducting has already
been installed.
– Where ducting is horizontal it must
be laid to slope away at at least
1 cm per metre.
This is to ensure that condensate cannot drain back into the cooker hood.
– If the exhaust air is to be ducted into
the open air, the installation of a telescopic wall vent is recommended.
– If the exhaust air is to be ducted into
a vent flue, the ducting must be directed in the flow direction of the flue.
– Only use wide radius bends. Tight
bends reduce the air throughput of
the cooker hood.
– Only use smooth pipes or flexible
hoses made from non-flammable
materials for extraction connection.

Important:
If the exhaust ducting is to run through
rooms, ceiling space etc. where there
may be great variations in temperature
between the different areas, the problem of sweating or condensation will
need to be addressed. The exhaust
ducting will need to be suitably insulated.
Condensate trap
In addition to insulating the exhaust
ducting we recommend that a suitable
condensate trap is also installed to
collect and evaporate any condensate
which may occur.
When installing a condensate trap
ensure that it is positioned vertically
and if possible directly above the
exhaust connection.

All electrical work should be undertaken by a suitably qualified and
competent person in strict accordance with national and local safety
regulations.
Installation, repairs and other work
by unqualified persons could be
dangerous. The manufacturer can
not be held responsible for unauthorised work.
Ensure power is not supplied to the
appliance while installation or repair
work is being carried out.
U.K., IRL, NZ, ZA: The cooker hood is
supplied for connection to an a.c.
230 V single phase 50 Hz supply.
AUS: The cooker hood is supplied for
connection to an a.c. single phase
240 V, 50 Hz supply.
The voltage, rated load and fusing are
given on the data plate. This is visible
when the grease filters have been
removed. Ensure that these match the
household mains supply.
For extra safety it is advisable to install
a residual current device (RCD) with a
trip current of 30 mA (in accordance
with DIN VDE 0664, VDE 0100 Section
739).
Do not connect via an extension lead.
Important UK
If the appliance is fitted with a non-rewireable plug (BS 1363 UK) and the
socket outlets are not suitable for the
plug supplied, or if the existing plug
needs to be replaced by a new one,
the old plug will need to be cut off and
an appropriate plug fitted. The fuse carrier and the fuse should be removed
from the old plug and disposed of. The
plug cut from the cable should then be
disposed of, and on no account be inserted into any socket elsewhere in the
house (electric shock hazard).
The fuse cover must be re-fitted when
changing the fuse and if the fuse cover
is lost the plug must not be used until a
suitable replacement is obtained.
For U.K.: Connection should be made
either by a double pole fused spur connection unit, or a fused plug and a suitable switched socket. The On-Off
switch should be easily accessible
after the appliance has been built in.
When switched off there must be an allpole contact gap of 3 mm in the switch
(including switch, fuses and relays according to EN 60 335).
If the socket is not accessible after installation (depending on country) an additional means of disconnection must
be provided for all poles.
The colour of the correct replacement
cover is that of the coloured insert in
the base of the plug or the colour that
is embossed in words in the base of
the plug (as applicable to the design of
plug fitted).
The correct fuse rating of the replacement fuses that are ASTA approved to
BS 1362 should be fitted. Replacement
fuse covers may be purchased from
your local electrical suppliers or
Service agent.
