Warning and safety instructions
This appliance conforms to current safety requirements. Inappropriate use could, however, prevent a risk of both personal injury and material damage to the appliance.
Before installation and before using for the first time read the operating instructions carefully. They contain important information on safety, use and maintenance of the appliance. This way you will avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the appliance.
Keep these operating instructions in a safe place and pass them on to any future user.
Correct usage
The appliance is intended for domestic use only.
The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any damage caused by improper use or or by non-observance of these instructions.
Technical safety
Before connecting the cooker hood to the mains supply, make
sure that the voltage and frequency details given on the data plate correspond with the on-site electricity supply. If in doubt consult a qualified electrician.
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 local and national safety regulations. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is tested by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
Installation work and repairs may only be carried out by suitably
qualified and competent persons to ensure safety. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous and the manufacturer will not be held responsible.
4
Warning and safety instructions
The appliance is only completely isolated from the electricity supply
when:
–it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug has been withdrawn (do not pull on the cable, only on the plug)
–the mains fuse is withdrawn
–or the screw-out fuse is removed, (in countries where this is applicable).
Ensure current is not supplied to the appliance while maintenance or repair work is being carried out.
Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by an
extension lead. Extension leads do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
Use of the appliance
Do not let small children play with the appliance or its controls or
operate it. Supervise its use by the elderly or infirm.
Never use an open flame beneath the cooker hood. To avoid the
danger of fire, do not flambé or grill over an open flame.
When switched on the cooker hood could draw flames into the filter. Fat particles drawn into the cooker hood present a fire hazard.
When using the cooker hood over a gas hob ensure that any burners
in use are always covered by a pan, otherwise flames could be drawn up by the suction of the cooker hood, parts of which could then be damaged.
Always switch the cooker hood on when a cooking zone is in use,
otherwise condensation may collect in the hood, 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 cooker hood on fire.
Do not use the cooker hood without the grease 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 cleaned regularly. A saturated filter is a fire ha-
zard.
Under no circumstances use a steam cleaner to clean this appliance. Pressurised steam could give rise to a short circuit or cause permanent damage to the surface and components, for which the manufacturer of the cooker hood cannot accept any re-
sponsibility.
In countries where there are 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 appliance guarantee.

Warning and safety instructions
Installation
The distance between the top of the hob and the bottom of the
cooker hood must measure at least:
–45 cm above electric hobs; Australia/New Zealand: 60 cm
–65 cm above gas hobs; Australia/New Zealand: 60 cm
–65 cm above a Miele Open grill.
When fitted above an open grill this cooker hood must not be used
in recirculation mode.
For non-Miele cooking appliances maintain the safety distance as recommended by the manufacturer in their Installation and Operating instructions.
If more than one appliance is fitted beneath the cooker hood and they have different minimum safety distances to the cooker hood, select the higher distance.
Safety regulations prohibit the fitting of a cooker hood over solid
fuel stoves.
All ducting, pipework and fittings must be of non-flammable ma-
terial. These can be obtained from the Miele Spare Parts department or from builders’ merchants.
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, take professional advice.

Warning and safety instructions
When using the cooker hood at the same time as another heating ap-
pliance which depends on the air in the room (e.g. gas, oil or coal fired heaters, continuous flow or other water heaters, gas cooker, gas hob or gas oven), special care must be taken as the action of the cooker hood extracts air from the room, which these type of heaters need for combustion.
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.
N.B: 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 “Corgi” installer must be sought.
If the cooker hood is operated in recirculation mode only, with active charcoal filters, these restrictions do not apply.
Appliances with external fans
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. Make sure the correct combination of the two appliances has been selected.
Disposal of your old appliance
Ensure that disconnection from the mains supply is carried out by a
competent person. Render any plug useless. Cut off the cable directly behind the appliance to prevent misuse.
The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any damage caused by non-observance of these Warning and safety instructions.

Description of the functions
The cooker hood works with
... Air extraction:
The air is drawn in and cleaned by the grease filters and then directed outside.
The cooker hood is fitted with a non-re- turn flap (see section on "Installation"). This flap is closed when the cooker hood is switched off. No exchange of room air and outside air can take place. When the cooker hood is switched on the non-return flap opens for the cooking smells to be blown directly outside.
... Air recirculation:
The air is drawn in and cleaned first by the grease filters and then by active charcoal filters. The cleaned air is then recirculated back into the kitchen through vents on either side of the extension piece on the tower.
Before using the cooker hood for the first time in recirculation mode, ensure that the active charcoal filters are in place, see section on "Cleaning and care".
... an external fan
The ...EXT models are designed to be connected to an external fan which is located outside the room.
The external fan is connected to the cooker hood by a control cable and is operated by the control panel on the cooker hood.

Selecting the power level
Depending on how much the air needs to be filtered, there are four power levels available. For normal cooking a low to medium level is usually sufficient. For frying or cooking food with a strong aroma the highest setting or "intensive level" is recommended.
The cooker hood is set to run on a medium level when it is switched on using the On/Off touch control.
However, when the main switch is used or after an interruption to the power supply, the cooker hood will operate on the power level last selected.
Use _touch controls to select the power level required.
Touch control > = higher setting. Touch control $ = lower setting.
The indicator lights show which power level has been chosen.
