IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Installation

, WARNING To reduce the risk of fire only

use metal ductwork.

When installing the hood, follow the

recommended minimum safety distances between a Miele cooktop and the hood:

22" (55 cm) above electric cooktops,

–

26" (65 cm) above gas cooktops,

–

26" (65 cm) above an open grill.

– If local building codes require a greater

safety distance, follow their requirement.

For non-Miele cooking appliances maintain the safety distances recommended by the appliance manufacturer in their instructions. If there is more than one appliance beneath the hood and they have different minimum safety distances always select the greater distance.

Be careful not to damage hidden

electrical wiring or plumbing when cutting or drilling into the wall or ceiling.

Any fittings, sealant, or materials

used to install the ductwork must be made of approved non-flammable materials.

Never connect an exhaust hood to

an active chimney, dryer vent, vent flue, or room ventilating ductwork. Seek professional advice before connecting an exhaust hood vent to an existing, inactive chimney or vent flue.

Ducted fans must always be

vented outdoors.

Make sure that the airflow in the

room is sufficient for combustion and exhausting of all non-electric heating appliances (water heaters, gas cooktops, gas ovens, etc.), otherwise backdrafts may occur. Follow the heating manufacturer’s guidelines and safety standards or those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), or the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE). If in doubt, consult an experienced professional.

Do not use an extension cord to

connect the appliance to electricity. Extension cords do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance, (e.g. danger of overheating).

Do not install this hood over

cooktops burning solid fuel.

Functional description

The hood offers two modes of operation:

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

Air is drawn through the grease filters and an active charcoal filter. The filtered air is then recirculated back into the kitchen through a vent at the top of the hood’s chimney.

Before using the hood in recirculation mode, ensure that the active charcoal filters are in place, see "Cleaning and care".

Operation

Main power switch

Press the main power switch to "I".

The fan and the lighting can now be operated.

If the appliance is not going to be used for a long period of time (e.g. while vacationing) turn the appliance off by pressing the main power switch to "0".

The next time it is turned on, the hood will operate at the level previously used.

Turning on the fan

^ Press the On/Off button. The fan runs at power level "2".

The On/Off indicator lights.

Selecting the power level

Use the _ controls to select the

desired power level.

& = increases the fan speed $ = decreases the fan speed

Level "1" to "3" (green indicators) are usually sufficient for normal cooking.

Intensive setting

Level "4" (yellow indicator) should be used for a short period when frying or cooking food with a strong aroma.

Fan performance

The maximum air flow capacity is 625 cfm. Factors such as narrow duct diameter and bends will affect this value.

There will also be a slight decrease in airflow for hoods operated in recirculation mode due to the active charcoal filter.

Level 1 operates at 40% capacity Level 2 operates at 60% capacity Level 3 operates at 80% capacity Level 4 operates at 100% capacity

Operation

Delayed Shut Down

If odors or smoke remain in the kitchen after cooking has been completed, the Delayed Shut Down feature can be selected to allow the hood to continue running for either 5 or 15 minutes.

Press the Delayed Shut Down button

while the fan is still running.

Press once = 5 minute delay

(left indicator lights)

Press twice = 15 minute delay

(right indicator lights)

Operation

Filter timers

Grease filters

A timer monitors the hours of fan operation. The indicator for the grease filter will light after 30 hours of operation. The grease filters must then be cleaned.

After the grease filters have been cleaned and put in place, the grease filter timer must be reset.

^ To do this, press the grease filter

button for about 3 seconds.

The indicator will go out.

Charcoal filters

The timer for the charcoal filter is not preset. Please program this timer, see "Operation/Reprogramming the charcoal filter timer".

The charcoal filter indicator will light once the selected time has elapsed. The charcoal filters must then be replaced and the charcoal filter timer must be reset.

Checking the filter timers

To check the percentage of time already used:

Press the On/Off button to turn the

fan on.

^ Press the grease or charcoal filter

button.

The number of flashing _ indicators show the percentage of programmed hours that have been used.

1 indicator = less than 25 % 2 indicators = less than 50 % 3 indicators = less than 75 % 4 indicators = less than 100 %

This information will remain stored in memory in the event of a power failure.

To do this, press the charcoal filter button for about 3 seconds.

The indicator will go out.

Operation

Reprogramming the timers

The grease filter timer is preset to 30 hours. This time can be lengthened or shortened to 20, 30, 40 or 50 hours.

A time of 20 hours should be

–

programmed in kitchens with frequent pan or deep frying.

A time of 20 hours should also be

–

programmed if the kitchen is only used occasionally. Otherwise grease which has accumulated over a long period of time will harden on the filters making cleaning more difficult.

Reprogramming the grease filter timer

^ Press the On/Off button to turn off the

fan.

The indicator for the grease filter and one of the _ indicators will flash.

The lit indicator shows the programmed time:

1st indicator from the left = 20 hours 2nd indicator from the left = 30 hours 3rd indicator from the left = 40 hours 4th indicator from the left = 50 hours

Use the $ or & button to select the

desired time.

^ Store the selection by pressing the

grease filter button.

Press the Delayed Shut Down and grease filter buttons at the same time.

If the procedure is not stored within 4 minutes of programming, the hood will automatically default to the "old" data.
