Warning and Safety instructions
Warning and Safety instructions
This appliance conforms to current
safety requirements. Incorrect use
can lead to injury and 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 damage caused by
improper use of the appliance.
Technical safety
Before connecting the appliance
to the mains supply, make sure
that the voltage and frequency details
on the data plate correspond with the
on-site electricity supply. This data
must correspond in order to avoid risk
of damage to the appliance. Consult a
qualified electrician if in doubt.
The electrical safety of this ap-
pliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between
the appliance and an effective earthing
system which complies with local and
national 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.
This equipment is not designed for
maritime use or for use in mobile installations such as caravans, aircraft
etc. However, it may be suitable for
such usage subject to a risk assessment of the installation being carried
out by a suitably qualified engineer.

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 removed. (Do not pull
on the cable, only on the plug), or
– the fuse from the fused spur connec-
tion unit is withdrawn or,
– the mains fuse is withdrawn, or
– the screw-out fuse is removed in
countries where this is applicable.
Ensure power 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
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 using the hob, 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 with-
out 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 regularly
cleaned or changed as appropriate. Saturated filters are a fire hazard.
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.
Under no circumstances use a
steam cleaner to clean this appliance. Pressurised steam could
reach the electrical components and
cause a short circuit.
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 cooker/hob and the bottom of
the cooker hood must measure at least:
– 450 mm above electric hobs and
cookers
– 650 mm above gas hobs and
cookers
– 650 mm above an open grill from our
range
When fitted above an open grill the
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 greater
distance.
If exhaust air is to be extracted into
a chimney or ventilation duct no
longer used for other purposes, seek
professional advice.
Safety regulations prohibit the
fitting of a cooker hood over solid
fuel stoves.
All ducting, pipework and fittings
must be of non-flammable material. These can be obtained from the
Miele Spare Parts department or from
builders’ merchants.
The appliance must not be con-
nected to a chimney or vent flue
which is in use. Neither should it be
connected to ducting which ventilates
rooms with fireplaces.
6
Page 7
Warning and Safety instructions
When using the cooker hood in
extraction mode at the same time
as another heating appliance 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
types of heater need for combustion.
They could also draw exhaust air back
in from chimneys or ducting in contravention of fire safety regulations.
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.
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.
Separate instructions are supplied with
the external fan.
Disposal of your old appliance
Before discarding an old ap-
pliance, switch off and disconnect
it from the power supply. Cut off and
render any plug useless. Cut off the
cable directly behind the appliance to
prevent misuse.
This should be done by a competent
person.
The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by noncompliance with these Warning and
Safety instructions.
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 (with active charcoal
filter) then the above restrictions do not
apply.

The cooker hood works with
. . . air extraction
The air is drawn in and cleaned by the
grease filters and directed outside.
The cooker hood is fitted with a
non-return flap.
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 vapours to be blown directly outside.
. . . air recirculation:
The air is drawn in and cleaned first by
grease filters and then cleaned by active charcoal filters. The cleaned air is
then recirculated back into the kitchen
through a vent in the top of the cooker
hood extension piece.
Before using the cooker hood for
the first time, 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 located
outside the room.
The external fan is connected to the
cooker hood by means of a control
cable and is operated by the control
panel on the cooker hood.

Operation
Altering the filter operating hours
counter
The operating hours counter for the
grease filters is set to 30 hours. This
can be lengthened or shortened to suit
the type of cooking you do. You can
choose from 20, 30, 40 or 50 hours.
– Select a short time if you roast or fry
a lot.
– If you use very little fat for cooking,
select a longer time.
– If, however, you only cook occasion-
ally we recommend that you select a
short time because grease which
has built up gradually over a long
period of time will harden on the
grease filters and make cleaning
more difficult.
Procedure:
Press the On/Off touch control to
switch the fan off.
The indicator lamp above the grease filter touch control and one of the lamps
above the – /+ touch controls will flash.
The – /+ touch control lamps show the
time which has been set:

Housing
Warning: 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 little washing up liquid applied
with a soft sponge.
Wipe dry using a soft cloth.
These will damage the surface material.
Stainless steel
Stainless steel surfaces can be
cleaned using a proprietary non-abrasive cleaning agent designed specifically for use on stainless steel.
To help prevent re-soiling, proprietary
conditioning agents for stainless steel
can also be used.
Apply sparingly with an even pressure.
E-Cloth
A microfibre "E-Cloth" is available from
the Miele UK Spare Parts Department,
Part Number 98013530, which is suitable for cleaning surfaces such as
stainless steel, glass, plastic and
chrome.
Stainless steel coloured controls
These controls may suffer discolouration or damage if soiling is left on
them for too long.
Remove any soiling straight away.
Do not use too much water when
cleaning the controls. Water could
penetrate into the electronics and
cause damage.
Avoid:
– cleaning agents containing soda,
acids or chlorides,
– abrasive cleaning agents, e.g. pow-
der cleaners or cream cleaners,
– abrasive sponges, e.g. pot scourers
or sponges which have been previously used with abrasive cleaning
agents.

Cleaning and care
Grease filters
Re-usable metal filters are fitted which
remove solid particles (oil, dust, etc.)
from the kitchen vapours, preventing
soiling of the cooker hood.
The filters should be cleaned regularly
(at least every 3-4 weeks) to avoid a
build-up of fat, but always clean as
soon as the grease filter touch control
lamp comes on.
An over saturated filter is a fire
hazard.
lower basket, ensuring the spray arm
is not obstructed.
Depending on the cleaning agent
used, cleaning the grease filters in
a dishwasher can cause permanent
discolouration to the surface of the
filters.
However, this will not affect the functioning of the grease filters in any
way.
After cleaning, leave the filters to dry
on an absorbent surface before putting them back in place.
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.
When replacing the grease filters, ensure the locking clips are visible facing
down towards the hob.
Should the grease filters be put back
upside down:
insert a small screwdriver into the slits
to disengage them. Do not let them
drop on to the hob below.
To take out the grease filters press
the locking clips in towards the
middle of the filter. Holding carefully,
lower and remove the filter.
Clean the filters
– by hand: with a nylon brush warm
water with a little washing up liquid.
– in a dishwasher: place the filters
with the short side upright in the
After replacing the grease filters,

Safety regulations prohibit the fitting
of this cooker hood over a solid fuel
stove.
For safety reasons a minimum safedistance must be maintained between the top of the hob / cooker
and the bottom of the cooker hood:
– 450 mm above electric hobs /
cookers
– 650 mm above gas hobs / cookers
– 650 mm above an open grill
from our range.
See "Warning and Safety instructions"
for further information.
A distance of 650 mm may be preferable above electric hobs / cookers to
give more working space.

Installation
Recirculation
If site conditions are not suitable for the
cooker hood to be used for air extraction the appliance must be connected
for recirculation.
Push the directional unit on to the
top retaining plate.
Secure the flexible hose supplied to
the directional unit and to the reducing collar on the motor unit using
hose clips.
Extension piece
An extension piece allows the cooker
hood to be fitted at varying distances
from the ceiling (see section appliance
dimensions).
The extension piece has openings at
each side. These are needed for ventilation when the appliance is being
used in recirculation mode.
Recirculation Extraction
For recirculation the extension piece is
fitted with the openings at the top.
For air extraction the openings are not
required. In this case the extension
piece is fitted with the openings at the
bottom. They are then covered by the
tower.
Insert the recirculation active charcoal filters (see section "Cleaning
and care").
The recirculation active charcoal filters necessary for recirculation are
available from the Spare Parts Department or your dealer.

Before fitting the extension piece
remove the protective foil.
Bend the top hanging retainers approx. 45° inwards. This makes fitting
easier.
Installation
Screw the extension piece firmly to
the upper retaining plate at each
side with two 3.9 x 7.5 mm screws.
Recirculation Extraction
Pull the extension piece slightly
outwards and push over the upper
retaining plate.
For recirculation make sure that the
openings in the extension piece are positioned at the same height as the air
outlets in the directional unit of the fan
motor.
Only with recirculation mode: Fit the
recirculation grilles into the extension
piece and into the directional unit behind so that the slats point downwards.

Installation
The paper protective sheet protects the
extension piece from being scratched
when the tower is being fitted. It is
removed when fitting is complete.
Fold the protective sheet at the top.
Remove the protective foil from
around the sticking points.
Stick the protective sheet to the ex-
tension piece so that it is smooth at
the sides and flush at the bottom.
Fitting the tower
Before fitting remove the protective
foil.
A protective cardboard sheet protects
the tower from accidental scratching
during fitting.
Remove the protective foil from
around the sticking points.
Attach the protective sheet to the
front of the tower so that it protrudes
slightly below the bottom edge.
32
Page 33
Hold the main tower gently apart and
fit it over the extension piece.
Then slide the tower down approx.
2 cm into the canopy.
Adjust the tower.
Remove the protective sheets.
Installation
Now secure the tower on both sides
with two 3.9 x 7.5 mm screws.
Remove the protective foil from the
canopy.
Before using the appliance for the
first time take the grease filter out
and remove the protective foil from
the filter frame. Then replace the
filter.

Danger of toxic fumes.
Please heed the "Warning and
Safety instructions" to avoid the
danger of toxic fumes.
The cooker hood should be installed according to local building
regulations. Seek approval from the
building inspector where necessary.
– All ducting, pipework and fittings
must be of non-flammable material.
– The extraction ducting should be as
short and straight as possible.
– To ensure efficient air extraction the
diameter of the exhaust ducting
should not be less than 150 mm.
If exhaust ducting with a diameter
of less than 150 mm or flat ducting
were to be used, the noise level of
the cooker hood would increase
and extraction would be less efficient.
Only reduce the diameter of the ducting if absolutely necessary, e.g.
where narrower ducting has already
been installed.
– Where 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 cooker hood.
– If the exhaust air is to be ducted into
the open air, the installation of a telescopic wall vent 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.
– Only use wide radius bends. Tight
bends reduce the air throughput of
the cooker hood.
– Only use smooth pipes or flexible
hoses made from non-flammable materials for extraction connection.
34
Page 35
Important:
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 sweating or condensation will
need to be addressed. The exhaust
ducting will need to be suitably insulated.
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.
When installing a condensate trap
ensure that it is positioned vertically
and if possible directly above the
exhaust connection.

Important UK
If the appliance is fitted with a non-rewireable plug (BS 1363 UK) and the
socket outlets are not suitable for the
plug supplied, or if the existing plug
needs to be replaced by a new one,
the old plug will need to be cut off and
an appropriate plug fitted. The fuse carrier and the fuse should be removed
from the old plug and disposed of. The
plug cut from the cable should then be
disposed of, and on no account be inserted into any socket elsewhere in the
house (electric shock hazard).
The fuse cover must be re-fitted when
changing the fuse and if the fuse cover
is lost the plug must not be used until a
suitable replacement is obtained.
For U.K.: Connection should be made
either by a double pole fused spur connection unit, or a fused plug and a suitable switched socket. The On-Off
switch should be easily accessible
after the appliance has been built in.
When switched off there must be an allpole contact gap of 3 mm in the switch
(including switch, fuses and relays according to EN 60 335).
If the socket is not accessible after installation (depending on country) an additional means of disconnection must
be provided for all poles.
36
The colour of the correct replacement
cover is that of the coloured insert in
the base of the plug or the colour that
is embossed in words in the base of
the plug (as applicable to the design of
plug fitted).
The correct fuse rating of the replacement fuses that are ASTA approved to
BS 1362 should be fitted. Replacement
fuse covers may be purchased from
your local electrical suppliers or
Service agent.
