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".

Stainless steel colored controls
These controls may become
discolored or damaged if not
cleaned regularly.
Do not use a stainless steel cleaner
on these controls.
Avoid:
–
cleaning agents containing soda,
acids or chlorides,
–
abrasive cleaning agents e.g.
powder or cream cleansers,
–
abrasive sponges, e.g. pot scourers
or sponges which have been
previously used with abrasive
cleaning agents.
These will damage the surface.
16
Cleaning and Care
Grease filters
The reusable metal grease filters
remove solid particles from the vented
kitchen air (grease, dust, etc).
The grease filters should be cleaned
every 3 - 4 weeks or whenever the
grease filter indicator lights.
A dirty filter is a fire hazard.
Depending on the detergent,
cleaning the grease filters in a
dishwasher may cause permanent
discoloration of the filter surface.
Performance of the filter will not be
affected by this discoloration.
After cleaning, the filters can be
^
placed on a towel to air dry.
While the filters are removed, clean
^
any dirt or grease from the filter
casing to prevent the risk of fire.
When putting the grease filters back
make sure that the locking clips are
visible facing down towards the
cooking surface.
If a filter is incorrectly installed, insert a
small screwdriver into the slit along its
edge to disengage it from the casing.
^
To remove the grease filters press the
locking clips in towards the middle of
the filter. Holding carefully, lower and
remove the filter.
^
Clean the filters

Slip the hose clamps over the flex
hose onto the diverter and the motor
assembly exhaust connection. Once
in place, tighten the hose clamps.
Active charcoal filters must be used
in the recirculation mode.
36
These vents are required for recirculation mode and will be closest to the
ceiling when installed.
For air extraction, the vents are not
required and are covered by the
chimney.
Remove the protective foil from
^
chimney extension.
^ Bend the top hanging tabs 45°
inwards. This will make installing the
extension easier. Be careful of sharp
edges.

WARNING
,
Danger of toxic fumes.
Exhaust ducting and connections
The ducting should be as short and
–
straight as possible, and the number
of sharp bends should be minimized.
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 only.
Do not terminate the exhaust
ducts in attics, garages,
crawlspaces, etc.
To reduce the risk of fire, only use
metal ductwork.
Please read and follow the
"IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS" to reduce the risk of
personal injury. Follow all local building
codes when installing the hood.
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.
Noise levels of the hood will increase
–
if flat ducts or round ducts of less
than 6" (150 mm) in diameter are
used.
– Use smooth or flexible pipes made
from approved non-flammable
materials for exhaust ducting.
– Where the ductwork is horizontal, it
must slope away from the hood at
1
least
/8" per foot (1 cm 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.
40
If the exhaust is ducted into an inactive
flue, the air must be expelled parallel to
the flow direction of the flue.
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.
Air extraction
Condensate trap
optional accessory
In some cases, a condensate trap may
also be required to collect and
evaporate any condensate which may
occur. This optional accessory is
available for ducts 4" (125 mm) and
7
5
/8" (150 mm) in diameter.
When installing a condensate trap,
ensure that it is positioned vertically
and if possible directly above the
exhaust outlet. The arrow on the casing
shows the venting direction.
Important!
If the ductwork runs through rooms,
ceilings, garages, etc. where
temperature variations exist, it may
need to be insulated to reduce
condensation.
