Warning and Safety instructions

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, or in recirculation mode with a recirculation box installed outside the room, 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 will 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.
8
Page 9
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 rangehood 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 or outside wall vents, or by other technical measures, such as ensuring that the rangehood 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, or for gas a qualified gas fitter (registered with an official gas safety body in accordance with national safety regulations), must be sought.
If the rangehood is used in recirculation mode, where the air is directed back into the room in which it is located, operating a heating appliance which depends on the room air at the same time is not hazardous.

Page 10
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 deposits could ignite, presenting a fire hazard.
The rangehood can become damaged when exposed to excessive
heat.
– 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.
– Select a pan which is suitable for the size of the burner.
– Regulate the flame so that it does not burn up the sides of the
pan.
– Avoid overheating the pan (e.g. when cooking with a wok).
Always switch the rangehood on when a cooking zone is in use,
otherwise condensation may collect in the rangehood, 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 rangehood on fire.
10
Page 11
Warning and Safety instructions
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 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.
This rangehood is not suitable for placing objects on.

Correct installation

Refer to the cooktop manufacturer's instructions as to whether a
rangehood may be operated above the cooktop.
Safety regulations prohibit the fitting of a rangehood over solid
fuel stoves.
Insufficient distance between the cooktop and the rangehood can
result in damage to the rangehood. The minimum safety distances between the top of the cooktop and the bottom of the rangehood given in the "Installation" section must be maintained, unless the cooktop manufacturer states that a greater 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.
The distances given in "Installation" must be observed when
fitting the rangehood.
11
Page 12
Warning and Safety instructions
All ducting, pipework and fittings must be of non-flammable
material. These can be obtained from builders' merchants.
The appliance must not be connected to a chimney or vent flue
which is in current use for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels. 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.

Cleaning and care

There is a risk of fire if cleaning is not carried out as described in
these operating instructions.
Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this appliance.
The steam could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit.
In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or
other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the machine 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 machine warranty.

Accessories

Use only genuine original Miele spare parts. If spare parts or
accessories from other manufacturers are used, the warranty will be invalidated, and Miele cannot accept liability.

Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing material

The transport and protective packaging has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal, and can normally be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the use of raw materials in the manufacturing process and also reduces the amount of waste in landfill sites. Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation.

Disposing of your old appliance

Electrical and electronic appliances often contain valuable materials. They also contain specific materials, compounds and components, which were essential for their correct function and safety. These could be hazardous to human health and to the environment if disposed of with your domestic waste or if handled incorrectly. Please do not, therefore, dispose of your old appliance with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre for electrical and electronic appliances. You are also responsible for deleting any personal data that may be stored on the appliance prior to disposal. Please ensure that your old appliance poses no risk to children while being stored prior to disposal.

Description of the functions

Depending on the model of the rangehood, the following options are available:

Air extraction mode

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

Non-return flap

The non-return flap is designed to prevent the exchange of room and outside air taking place. The flap is closed when the rangehood is switched off. When the rangehood is switched on, the non-return flap opens for the cooking vapours to be blown directly outside.
If the on-site ventilation system does not have a non-return flap, the non­return flap supplied must be fitted.

Recirculation mode

(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.
16
Page 17

Switching the fan on

For light to heavy cooking vapours and odours, select from power settings 1 to
3.
For short periods of cooking food with intensive vapours and a strong aroma, e.g. when searing meat, select Booster settingB.
Switch the fan on with the fan
switch and select the power level you want.

Switching the fan off

It is advisable to run the fan for a few minutes after cooking has finished to neutralise any lingering vapours and odours in the air.
To switch off, move the fan switch to
0.

Switching the cooktop lighting on/off

The cooktop lighting can be switched on and off independently of the fan.

Operation

Use the lighting switch to switch
the cooktop lighting on (1) or off (0).

Page 18

Energy saving tips

This rangehood operates very efficiently and economically. The following will help you to save even more energy when using it:
– Ensure that there is sufficient
ventilation in the kitchen when cooking. In extraction mode, if there is insufficient air flow the rangehood cannot operate efficiently and this causes increased operating noise levels.
– Always cook with the lowest possible
setting. This produces fewer cooking vapours, so you can use a lower rangehood power level and therefore benefit from reduced energy consumption.
– Check the power level selected on
the rangehood. A lower power level is generally sufficient for the majority of cooking. Only use the Booster setting when necessary.
– When a large volume of cooking
vapours are being produced, switch to a high power level in good time. This is more efficient than operating the rangehood for longer to try to capture cooking vapours which have already been distributed throughout the kitchen.
– Make sure that you switch the
rangehood off after use.
– Clean or change the filters at regular
intervals. Heavily soiled filters reduce performance, increase the risk of fire and are unhygienic.
18
Page 19

Cleaning and care

Before proceeding with any
maintenance or cleaning task, the rangehood must be disconnected from the power supply (see "Warning and Safety instructions").

Housing

General

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 small amount of washing-up liquid applied with a well wrung-out soft sponge or cloth.
Do not use too much water when cleaning the controls.
Water could penetrate into the electronics and cause damage.
After cleaning, wipe the surfaces dry
using a soft cloth.
Do not use:

Important for appliances with stainless steel surfaces

(This information does not apply to the controls)
Stainless steel surfaces can be
cleaned with a proprietary non­abrasive cleaning agent designed specifically for use on stainless steel, e.g. Original Miele ceramic and stainless steel cooktop cleaner.
To help prevent re-soiling, a
proprietary conditioning agent for stainless steel (Original Miele Care product for stainless steel) can also be used. Apply sparingly with a soft cloth following the instructions on the packaging.

Important for appliances with lacquered housing

Observe the general notes on
cleaning earlier in this section.
It is very difficult to clean this type of surface without causing minor marks to the surface material. This can become particularly noticeable if there is halogen lighting in the kitchen.
– cleaning agents containing soda,
acids, chlorides or solvents,
– abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.
powder cleaners or cream cleaners and abrasive sponges, as well as pot scourers or sponges which have been used previously with abrasive cleaning agents. These will damage the surface material.
19
Page 20
Cleaning and care

Important for the controls

Do not leave soiling on the controls for any length of time.
Otherwise they may suffer discolouration or damage.
Remove any soiling immediately.
Observe the general notes on
cleaning earlier in this section.
Do not use stainless steel cleaning agents on the controls.

Grease filters

The re-usable metal grease filters in the appliance remove solid particles (grease, dust, etc.) from the kitchen vapours, preventing soiling of the rangehood.
An oversaturated filter is a fire
hazard.

Grease filter cleaning intervals

The grease filters should be cleaned regularly (at least every 3-4 weeks) to avoid a build-up of grease.

Removing a grease filter

When handling a grease filter, be careful not to drop it.
This can result in damage to the filter and the cooktop below.
Make sure you hold the filter securely at all times when handling it.
To take out a grease filter, release the
locking clip on the filter, lower the filter approx. 45°, unhook it at the back and remove it.

Cleaning the grease filters by hand

Clean the filters with a soft nylon
brush in a mild solution of hot water and a small amount of washing-up liquid. Do not use undiluted washing up liquid.

Unsuitable cleaning agents

Unsuitable cleaning agents can cause damage to the surface of the filters if used regularly. Do not use:
– cleaning agents containing descaling
agents,
– powder cleaners or cream cleaners,
– aggressive all-purpose cleaning
agents or spray cleaners for grease,
– oven sprays.

Cleaning the grease filters in the dishwasher

Place the filters as upright as possible
in the lower basket, with the short sides upright, ensuring the spray arm is not obstructed.
20
Page 21
Cleaning and care
Use a proprietary household
dishwasher detergent.
Select a dishwasher programme with
a wash temperature between 50 °C and 65 °C.
Depending on the cleaning agent used, cleaning the filters in a dishwasher can cause permanent discolouration to the surface. However, this will not affect the functioning of the filters in any way.

After cleaning

After cleaning, leave the filters to dry
on an absorbent surface before refitting them.
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.
Replace the grease filters, making
sure that the locking clips are facing down towards the cooktop.

NoSmell active charcoal filter

If the rangehood is connected for recirculation, a charcoal filter must be inserted in addition to the grease filters. This is designed to absorb cooking odours and is fitted in the canopy above the grease filters.
Charcoal filters are available to order via the Miele Webshop or directly from Miele (see end of this booklet for contact details). See "Technical data" for the model number of the charcoal filter.

Fitting and replacing the charcoal filter

Before fitting or replacing the
charcoal filter, the grease filters must first be taken out (see previous section for instructions on how to do this).
If a grease filter is inadvertently
refitted upside down, insert a small screwdriver blade into the slit to disengage the clip.
Push the cover for the charcoal filter
duct slightly to the right and then lower it to remove.
Unwrap the charcoal filter from its
packaging.

Installation recommendations

– To achieve optimum vapour
extraction, the rangehood must be positioned centrally over the cooktop, not to the side.
– The cooktop should be no wider than
the rangehood and, if possible, it should be narrower, especially for safety distances greater than 750mm.
– The installation area must be easily
accessible. The rangehood should be easily accessible and easy to dismantle in the event that service is required. This should be taken into consideration when planning the position of cupboards, shelves, ceilings or features in the vicinity of the rangehood.

Protective foil

The housing components of stainless steel models have protective foil around them to protect them from transport damage.
Please remove the grease filters from
the appliance and remove this foil from the housing components and the frames of the grease filters before installing the rangehood. The foil can be peeled off easily.

Deflector

A deflector is installed in the rear of the rangehood. Its position depends on the operating mode. With extraction the air is directed upwards and out of the housing at the back. With recirculation the opening is closed and the air is directed forwards through the recirculation grille.
30

If required, install the non-return flap.
Check that the flap opens easily and closes by itself.

Secure the exhaust ducting to the
exhaust connection, e.g. with a hose clip (available as an optional accessory) on flexible ducting.
Insert the exhaust socket into the
exhaust opening and secure it by turning clockwise.
Installation

Mains connection

Refer to the notes in “Electrical connection” and “Warning and Safety instructions” before connecting to the electricity supply.
Plug the connection cable into an
electrical socket.

Functional check

To do this, switch the fan on.
– In air extraction mode air should not
come out of the air outlet at the front of the rangehood.
– In recirculation mode the air should
come out of the air outlet at the front of the rangehood.
If this does not happen, the deflector is not installed correctly (see "Deflector").
See "Connection for air extraction"
for further instructions on fitting the ducting.

For recirculation mode

Fit the charcoal filter (see "Cleaning
and care").

Electrical connection

All electrical work must be undertaken by a suitably qualified and competent person in strict accordance with current national and local safety and building code regulations. Installation, repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous, for which the manufacturer cannot be held liable. Ensure power is not supplied to the appliance until after installation or repair work has been carried out.
The rangehood must be connected to a suitably earthed socket (AC 230 V, 50Hz).
For extra safety it is advisable to install a residual current device (RCD) with a trip current of 30 mA.
Connection of this appliance must be made via a suitable isolator switch which provides disconnection on all poles and which complies with national and local safety regulations. The isolator switch should be easily accessible after the appliance has been built in.
If the mains socket is not accessible after installation, an additional means of disconnection must be provided for all poles. There must be an all-pole contact gap of 3 mm in the switch (including switch, fuses and relays).
The connection data is given on the data plate (See "After sales service"). Ensure that this data matches the household mains supply.

Connection for air extraction

Before installation, it is important
to read the information given on the following pages as well as the "Appliance dimensions" and the "Warning and Safety instructions" at the beginning of this booklet. This is particularly crucial when using the rangehood at the same time as a heating appliance that relies on oxygen from the same room, which could result in the build-up of toxic fumes.
The rangehood should be installed according to local and national building regulations. Seek approval from the building inspector where necessary.
Only use smooth pipes or flexible hoses made from non-flammable materials for the extraction ducting.
To achieve the greatest possible air extraction with the lowest noise level, please note the following:
– The diameter of the exhaust ducting
should not be less than 150mm.
– If flat ducting is being used, the
cross-sectional area must not be smaller than the cross-sectional area of the exhaust connection.
– The exhaust ducting should be as
short and straight as possible.
– Only use wide radius bends.
Remember that any constriction of the airflow will reduce extraction performance and increase operating noise.
If the exhaust is ducted through an
outside wall, a telescopic wall vent or a roof vent (available as an optional accessory) 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.
When 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 rangehood.
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 condensation will need to be addressed. The exhaust ducting will need to be suitably insulated.
– The exhaust ducting must not be
kinked or compressed.
– Ensure that all connections are
strong and airtight.

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. Condensate traps are available for 125mm or 150mm ducting.
When installing a condensate trap,
ensure that it is positioned vertically and, if possible, directly above the exhaust socket. The arrow on the housing indicates the direction of airflow.

Silencer

To achieve even further reductions in noise levels, a special silencer (optional accessory) can be fitted in the ducting system.

Air extraction mode

The silencer not only reduces noise from the motor outside the house, but also sounds from outside (e.g. traffic noise). For this reason, the silencer must be positioned as close as possible to the ducting exit .
