They will not understand the potential dangers posed by it. They should be supervised whenever you are working in the kitchen.

Older children may use the

rangehood only when its operation has been clearly explained to them and they are able to use it safely. They must be aware of the potential dangers caused by incorrect operation.

Please be aware that on

rangehoods with halogen lighting, the lamps will get very hot during use and remain hot for some time after switching off. To safeguard against burning, keep children well away from the lamps at all times.

Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety

Before installation, check the

rangehood for visible signs of damage. Do not install and use a damaged appliance. A damaged appliance is dangerous.

Before connecting the appliance to

the mains supply, make sure that the voltage and frequency details given on the data plate correspond to the on-site electricity supply, otherwise the appliance could be damaged. Consult a qualified electrician if in any 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 current local and national safety regulations. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is present and tested regularly and, where there is any doubt, the household wiring system should be inspected by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric shock).

For safety reasons, this appliance

may only be used when it has been fully installed.

Only open the housing as described

in the instructions given in the installation sheet and in the Cleaning and care section of this booklet. 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 operational faults.

Installation, maintenance and

repairs may only be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person in strict accordance with current national and local safety regulations. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for unauthorised work.

Faulty components must only be

replaced by genuine Miele original parts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.

During installation, maintenance and

repair work, the appliance must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply. It is only completely isolated from the electricity supply when:

– it is switched off at the mains fuse,

– the screw-out fuse is removed (in

countries where this is applicable),

–

it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn from the socket, or it is switched off at the isolator. If the appliance is connected via a plug: Do not pull the mains connection cable but the mains plug to disconnect your appliance from the mains electricity supply.

Warning and Safety instructions

Do not connect the appliance to the

mains electricity supply via a multi-socket unit or an extension lead. These do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).

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. These models may only be combined with a Miele external motor.

This rangehood must not be

installed and operated in mobile installations (e.g. on a ship).

In 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 warranty.

Using at the same time as other heating appliances that depend on the air from the room

Warning - danger of toxic fumes

Great care should be taken when

using the rangehood at the same time and in the same room or area of the house as another heating appliance which depends on the air in the room. Such appliances include gas, oil, wood or coal-fired boilers and heaters, continuous flow or other water heaters, gas cooktops or ovens which draw air in from the room and duct exhaust gases out through a chimney or extraction ducting. When used in extraction mode, with or without an external motor fitted, the appliance draws air in from the room in which it is installed and from neighbouring rooms. If there is insufficient air, an underpressure will occur. The heating appliance may be starved of oxygen, impairing combustion.

Harmful gases could be drawn out of the chimney or extraction ducting back into the room, with potentially fatal consequences.

Warning and Safety instructions

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. 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 must be sought.

If the rangehood is being operated in recirculation mode, the above restrictions do not apply.

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use

Never use an open flame beneath

the rangehood. To avoid the danger of fire, do not flambé or grill over an open flame. When switched on, the rangehood could draw flames into the filter. Fat particles drawn into the rangehood present a fire hazard.

When using the rangehood over a

gas cooktop, ensure that any burners in use are always covered by a pan. Switch the cooking zone off when a pan is removed, even for a short time. Regulate the flame so that it does not burn up the sides of the pan. Do not allow the pans to overheat excessively (e.g. when using a wok). The rangehood can become damaged when exposed to excessive heat.

Always switch the rangehood on

when a cooking zone is in use, otherwise condensation may collect in the hood, which could cause corrosion.

Do not use the rangehood without

the 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. See "Cleaning and care".

The rangehood can get very hot

during cooking due to heat rising from the cooktop. Do not touch the housing or the grease filters until the rangehood has cooled down.

Do not use a steam cleaner to clean

this appliance. Pressurised steam could reach the electrical components and cause a short circuit.

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 rangehood on fire.

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct installation

Refer to the rangehood or cooktop

manufacturer's instructions as to whether a rangehood may be operated above the cooktop.

The minimum safety distances

between the top of the cooktop and the bottom of the rangehood given in the "Appliance dimensions" section of this booklet must be maintained, unless the cooktop manufacturer states that a greater safety distance is required.

If more than one cooking appliance is fitted beneath the rangehood, and they have different minimum safety distances to the rangehood, select the greater distance.

Safety regulations prohibit the fitting

of a rangehood over solid fuel stoves.

All ducting, pipework and fittings

must be of non-flammable material. These can be obtained from Miele or from builders' merchants.

Accessories

Only use genuine Miele spare parts

and accessories with this rangehood. If spare parts or accessories from other manufacturers are used, this will invalidate the warranty, and Miele cannot accept liability.

The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.

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.

It can also be used to check and alter the operating hours counter.

For information about using the appliance, see "Operation".

Description of the functions

The rangehood works with

. . . air extraction:

The air is drawn in and cleaned by the grease filters and directed outside.

If the on-site ventilation system does not have a non-return flap, the non-return flap supplied with the appliance must be fitted in the exhaust socket in the motor unit.

Having a non-return flap fitted in the ducting ensures that air, once ducted to the outside, cannot get back into the room again.

The flap is closed when the rangehood is switched off.

. . . air recirculation:

(available as an optional extra with a conversion kit and charcoal filter: see "Technical Data")

The air is drawn in and cleaned first by the grease filter and then by a charcoal filter. The cleaned air is then recirculated back into the kitchen through grilles in the top of the rangehood extension piece.

Before using the rangehood in recirculation mode, ensure that the charcoal filter is in place. See "Cleaning and care".

...anexternal motor:

When the rangehood is switched on, the non-return flap opens for the cooking vapours to be blown directly outside.

Please note, the performance of this rangehood hinges greatly on the installed ducting to vent the vapours. Poor choice of ducting results in poor rangehood performance. For ducting recommendations, please refer to the relevant section in these operating instructions or contact a specialised installer.

(Models ...EXT)

The EXT models are designed to be connected to an external motor located outside the room.

The external motor is connected to the rangehood by means of a control cable, and is operated by the controls on the rangehood.
