Warning and Safety Instructions
When connecting the hood to an external vent, make sure that there is
adequate ventilation in the room
where the exhaust hood is to be
used.
When using the hood in the same area
as other appliances requiring room air
(e.g. non-electric water heaters, gas
cooktops, gas ovens, etc.) make certain that the air extracted by the hood
does not hinder their operation. These
appliances need air for combustion.
Adequate ventilation can be maintained by installing air vents in windows
or walls or by ensuring that the hood
can only be turned on when the other
appliances are off, or vice versa.
To prevent combustion gases being
drawn back into the room by the exhaust hood, the underpressure in the
room must be no greater than 0,0006 psi
(0,04 mbar) when the hood and these
appliances are running simultaneously.
Disposal of discarded appliances
Before discarding an old appliance, disconnect its power cord to prevent it
from becoming a hazard.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS AND

Descripton of the functions
Descripton of the functions
The exhaust hood offer two functional
operations:
1) Draws air in through the grease
filters and directs it into the exhaust
ductwork.
The hoods are installed with a non-return exhaust valve. This valve automatically closes when the hood is turned off
so that outside air cannot enter the kitchen. When the hood is turned on, the
air pressure of the exhaust fan automatically opens the valve, allowing the inside air and odors to be vented outside.
2) Draws air in through the grease
filters and directs the air through an
active charcoal filter. The filtered air is
then recirculated back into the kitchenthrough a vent at the top of the
cooker hood.
Before using the cooker hood for
the first time, ensure that the active
charcoal filters is in place, see section on "Cleaning and care".

Never use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, steel wool or caustic
(oven) cleaners to clean the hood.
will damage the surface.
They
Cleaning and Care
To release the filters, press their latches toward the middle of the hood.
A mild, non-abrasive stainless steel
cleaner can also be used to clean the
hood.
Grease filters
The reusable metal grease filters will
absorb any grease, dust, or other solid
particles that are pulled into them by
the fan. The filters should be cleaned
every 3 - 4 weeks, or whenever the
grease filter indicator lamp illuminates.
Continued operation with dirty
grease filters is dangerous. They
could ignite and cause personal injury and property damage.
Once the filters have been cleaned,
reset the filter timer by pressing and
holding the Grease filter switch until the
indicator lamp goes out.
To clean the grease filters:
By hand - use a scrub brush in hot
water with mild detergent.
In a dishwasher - place the grease filters in the lower basket.
Cleaning the filters in a dishwasher
may cause permanent discoloration
of the filter surface. Performance of
the filter will be unaffected, however.
After cleaning, the filters can be
dried by placing them on a towel or
other absorbent surface.
While the filters are removed, clean
any dirt or grease from the filter casing to prevent the risk of fire.
Before replacing the filters make
sure that the latches are facing
down. If a filter is installed upside
down, insert a small screwdriver
into the slit along its edge to disengage it from the casing.
15
Cleaning and Care
Active charcoal filter
Active Charcoal Filters will absorb most
kitchen odors. They are non-washable/non-reusable and must be replaced as needed.
Remove the grease filters to gain access to the charcoal filters.
Remove the charcoal filters and install the new filters so that the catch
faces the cooktop.
Always change the active charcoal filter when the charcoal filter indicatorlamp comes on. Failure to replace the
charcoal filters will adversely effect the
odor absorbing performance of the filtering system. Replace the filter at
least every 3 - 4 months of normal use.

Air extraction
Air extraction
Danger of toxic fumes.
Gas cooking appliances release
carbon monoxide that can be harmful or fatal if inhaled. The exhaust
gases extracted by the hood
should be vented outside of the
building
Do not terminate the exhaust ducts
in attics, garages, crawlspaces, etc.
Please read and follow the "Warningand Safety Instructions“ to reduce the
risk of personal injury, and follow all local
building codes when installing the hood.
Exhaust ducting and connections
– The ducting should be as short and
straight as possible, and the number
of sharp bends should be minimized.
– For most efficient air extraction, the
diameter of the ductwork should not
be less than 6" (150 mm). Use of flat
ducts also reduces the air extraction
efficiency.
only.
– Use smooth or flexible pipes made
from non-flammable materials for exhaust ducting.
– Where the ductwork is horizontal, it
must slope away from the hood at
least 1/8" per foot (1cm per meter) to
prevent condensation dripping into
the appliance.
– If the exhaust is ducted through an
outside wall, a Miele Telescopic Wall
Vent can be used.
– Noise levels of the hood will increase
if flat ducts or round ducts of less
than 6" (150 mm) in diameter are
used.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, Use only
metal ductwork.
CAUTION
To reduce risk of fire and to properly
exhaust air, be sure to duct air outside - Do not vent exhaust air into
spaces within walls or ceilings or
into attics, crawl spaces, or garages.
– If the exhaust is ducted into an inac-
tive flue, the air must be expelled
parallel to the flow direction of the
flue.
31
Air extraction
Never connect an exhaust hood to
an active chimney, dryer vent, vent
flue, or room venting ductwork.
Seek professional advice before
connecting an exhaust hood vent to
an existing, inactive chimney or
vent flue.
Ductwork with a diameter of less
than 6" (150 mm) should only be
used when absolutely necessary.
As duct diameter decreases, the
