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 air is drawn in and cleaned by the grease filter as well as an odor-free filter (optional accessories). The filtered air is then recirculated back into the kitchen.

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

Page 10

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.

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

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.s.

Stainless steel surfaces

(does not apply to stainless steel colored 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.

Wipe dry using a soft cloth.

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

Page 11

Cleaning and care

Special instructions for appliances with a colored (RAL) housing.

It is very difficult to clean this type of surface without causing minor marks on the surface material. This can become particularly noticeable if there is halogen light in the kitchen.

Stainless steel colored controls

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

Observe the general cleaning information in this chapter.

Do not use a stainless steel cleaner on the controls.

Grease filters

The reusable metal grease filters in the hood remove solid particles from the vented kitchen air (grease, dust, etc.) and prevent soiling of the ventilation system.

We recommend cleaning the grease filters every 3-4 weeks, before the residues solidify.

A dirty filter is a fire hazard!

^ Open the grease filter locking clips

and pull the filter down to remove.

To prevent damage to the filter and the cooktop, hold the filter securely when handling it.

Page 12

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the filter

By hand: use a scrub brush with a

solution of warm water and mild detergent. Do not use the pure 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 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 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.

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

Page 13

The hood comes equipped with a 2.5 ft (0.75 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.

,WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE GROUNDED

Page 29

WARNING

Danger of toxic fumes.

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.

Exhaust ducting

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

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.

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.

– 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 (optional accessory).

Page 30

Exhaust ducting

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!

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

Page 31

Condensate trap

(optional accessory)

In addition to appropriate insulation of the exhaust ducting, we recommend installing a condensate trap to collect and evaporate any condensation which may develop. This is available for ducts C 5" ( 125 mm) or C 6" ( 150 mm).

Exhaust ducting

When installing a condensate trap, ensure that it is positioned vertically and if possible directly above the exhaust outlet of the ventilation hood. The arrow on the casing indicates the exhaust flow direction.
