Functional description
The ventilation hood works by air ex
traction. The air is drawn in and
cleaned by the grease filters and di
rected 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 ex
haust fan automatically opens the flap
blowing the inside air and cooking
odors outside.

Exhaust ducting and connections
– The ducting should be as short and
straight as possible, and the number
of sharp bends should be minimized.
-
Use smooth or flexible pipes made
–
from approved non-flammable mate
rials for exhaust ducting.
Where the ductwork is horizontal, it
–
must slope away from the hood at
1
least
/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.
-
– 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.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, only use
metal ductwork.
CAUTION
To reduce risk of fire and to properly
exhaust air, be sure to duct air out
side. 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.

Never connect an exhaust hood to
an active chimney, dryer vent, vent
flue, or room venting ductwork. Seek
professional advice before connect
ing an exhaust hood vent to an exist
ing, 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 hood’s
performance and sound levels will
be affected.
Important:
If the ductwork runs through rooms,
ceilings, garages, etc. where temperature variations exist, it may need to be
insulated to reduce condensation. In
some cases, a condensate trap may
also be required to collect and evaporate any condensate which may occur.
Air extraction

-
When installing a condensate trap,
ensure that it is positioned vertically
and if possible directly above the ex
haust outlet.
