The ventilation system can be operated

Description of functions

Air extraction

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

The hood comes equipped with a non-return flap. This flap automatically closes when the hood is turned off so that no exchange of outside air and room air can occur. When the hood is turned on, the air pressure of the exhaust fan automatically opens the flap blowing the inside air and cooking odors outside.

Recirculation mode

The recirculation mode requires a conversion kit and odor-free filter (optional accessories for the DA 6590 W only, see "Technical data")

Air is drawn in and cleaned by the glass or stainless steel panels, grease filters as well as an odor-free filter. The filtered air is then recirculated back into the kitchen through a vent at the top of the hood’s chimney.

In air recirculation mode, please ensure that the odor-free filter is in place, see "Cleaning and care".

Cleaning and care

,WARNING TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

Before cleaning or servicing the hood, disconnect it from the power supply, see "Important Safety Instructions".

The halogen bulbs are very hot

when in use. They stay hot for some time after turned off. Use caution, danger of burns. Wet cleaning the hot bulbs will cause damage. Wait a few minutes after turning them off before cleaning.

Cleaning the casing

Never use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, steel wool or caustic (oven) cleaners on the hood. They will damage the surface.

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.

sharp metal scrapers,

–

oven spray.

–

Special instructions for stainless steel surfaces

(not applicable to the controls)

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

To help prevent resoiling, a conditioner for stainless steel can be applied.

Special instructions for colored casings (RAL)

(Special order)

All external surfaces and controls can be cleaned with a mild solution of warm water and liquid dish soap applied with a soft sponge.

Do not use too much water when cleaning the controls. Water could penetrate the electronics and cause damage.

Wipe dry using a soft cloth.

It is very difficult to clean this type of surface without causing minor marks to the surface material. This can become particularly noticeable with darker colors and if there is halogen lighting in the kitchen.

Cleaning and care

Special instructions for glass surfaces

Glass surfaces should be cleaned

with a normal glass cleaner.

Stainless steel colored controls

These controls may become dis colored or damaged if not cleaned regularly. Do not use a stainless steel cleaner on these controls.

Glass or stainless steel panels and grease filters

The glass or stainless steel panels and the reusable metal grease filters remove solid particles from the vented kitchen air (grease, dust, etc.) and

prevent soiling of the hood.

Clean the panels and grease filters at the latest when the grease filter symbol [ of the timer button comes on.

The grease filters should be cleaned every3-4weeks, as the collected grease hardens over time and makes cleaning more difficult.

A dirty filter is a fire hazard!

Pull the front edge of the panels down out of the lock, lower them slightly, unhook them at the back, and take them out.

Support the panel so that it does not fall and damage the cooktop.

Cleaning and care

Open the grease filter lock, lower the

grease filter slightly, unhook it at the back, and take it out.

Support the grease filter so that it does not fall and damage the cooktop.

Cleaning the panels by hand

^ Follow the instructions under

"Cleaning the casing".

Cleaning the grease filters by hand

Use a scrub brush with a solution of warm water and mild dish soap. Do not use the pure detergent, aggressive all purpose cleaners, oven sprays, abrasive cleaning agents or limescale removers. They could damage the filter.

Cleaning the grease filters and panels in the dishwasher

Place the filters vertically in the lower

basket, making sure that the spray arm is not blocked. Use a wash program with a max. temperature of 150°F (65°C). In a Miele dishwasher use the "Normal" program. Use the recommended amount of dishwasher detergent. Overuse could destroy the filter.

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

^ After cleaning, place the filters on a

towel to dry.

^ While the panels and the filters are

removed, clean any dirt or grease from the casing parts that are accessible. This reduces the risk of fire.

Cleaning and care

When reinstalling the grease filters,

make sure that the locking clips are facing down.

If the filters are incorrectly installed,

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

Resetting the grease filter timer

After cleaning, reset the grease filter timer.

With the fan running, press and hold

the grease filter button l for approx. 3 seconds, until only the 1 is flashing. The indicator light will l go out.

If the grease filters are cleaned before the timer has reached its maximum:

Press and hold the grease filter

button for l for approx. 6 seconds, until only the 1 is flashing.

Hook the panels onto the support ledge.

Lift up the front of the panels and push them into the lock until they engage.

Cleaning and care

Air extraction

WARNING

Danger of toxic fumes.

Exhaust ducting and connections

Use smooth or flexible pipework made from approved non-flammable materials for exhaust ducting.

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.

To achieve the most efficient air extraction and quietest noise levels, consider the following:

The diameter of the ductwork should

–

not be less than 6" (150 mm).

If flat ducting is used, the cross

–

section must not be smaller than the cross section of the ventilation exhaust.

– The ducting should be as short and

straight as possible.

– Use ductwork with a wide radius.

– The exhaust duct must not be bent

or compressed.

– Make sure all connections are

secure.

– Where the ductwork is horizontal, it

must slope away from the hood at

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 Telescopic Wall Vent can be used.

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

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

Air extraction

Reducing Collar

(optional accessory)

If you would like to reduce the environmental impact of your ventilation system by limiting the CFM output the Reducing Collar can be installed.

It reduces the air flow to less than 400 CFM.

Check local building codes for max. CFM requirements.

Push the Reducing Collar on the exhaust port of the fan.

Push the exhaust hose over it.

Condensate trap

(optional accessory)

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

When installing a condensate trap, ensure that it is positioned vertically and if possible directly above the exhaust outlet.

Fix both with a hose clamp.

Electrical connection

,WARNING TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

All electrical work should be performed by a qualified electrician in strict accordance with national regulations (for USA: ANSI-NFPA 70) and local safety regulations. Installation, repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous. Ensure that power to the appliance is OFF while installation or repair work is performed.

^ Verify that the voltage, load and

circuit rating information found on the data plate (located behind the grease filters), match the household electrical supply before installing the hood.

Use only with ventilation hood cord-connection kits that have been investigated and found acceptable for use with this model hood.

Grounding Instructions

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

WARNING - Improper grounding can result in a risk of electric shock.

If there is any doubt, have the electrical system of the house checked by a qualified electrician.

Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician install an outlet near the appliance.

Important

The hood comes equipped with a 6.5 ft (2 m) power cord with a NEMA 5-15 molded plug for connection to a 120 VAC, 60 Hz, 15 A power outlet.

If there is any question concerning the electrical connection of this appliance to your power supply, please consult a licensed electrician or call Miele’s Technical Service Department.
