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.

Cleaning and Care

Grease filters

The reusable metal grease filters re
move 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.

-

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

- by hand: use a scrub brush in
warm water with a mild detergent.

- in a dishwasher: place the filters in
the lower basket, making sure that
the spray arm is not blocked.

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.

14

^

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 cas
ing to prevent the risk of fire.

-

When putting the grease filters back
make sure that the locking clips are vis
ible 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.

After returning the grease filters,

^

press the grease filter button for

3 seconds to reset the timer. The indi-

cator light will go out.
^ If the grease filters are cleaned be-

fore the timer has reached its maxi-

mum, the grease filter button should

be pressed for 6 seconds to reset the

counter to zero.

Cleaning and Care

Changing the light bulb

Before changing the light bulbs, dis
connect the hood from the power
supply by either removing the fuse,
unplugging it, or manually "tripping"
the circuit breaker.

When in use halogen bulbs become
extremely hot, and they can burn
your hands. Do not attempt to
change the bulbs until they have
had sufficient time to cool down.

Do not touch the bulb surface. Fin­gerprints or body oils deposited on
the bulb will decrease the life of the
bulb. Please follow the bulb manu­facturer’s instructions.

-

To change the halogen bulb first re

^

move the lamp cover, a.

^ Pull the bulb, b, out of its socket and

replace with a new one.

^ Return the lamp cover, a.

Never use the lighting without the
lamp cover, a, in place. The glass is
specially made to filter harmful light
rays.

^

the venting system, the non-return
flap supplied must be fitted into the

exhaust connection on the motor. The
flaps must open upwards.

^ The hood is designed for 6" (150 mm)

exhaust ducting. If 5" (125 mm) ex­haust ducting is used the reducing
collar must be fitted into the exhaust
connection on the motor (see "Air ex­traction").

Attaching the motor assembly

Installation

Attaching the chimney
extension

The use of a chimney extension, allows
the hood to be installed at various dis
tances from the ceiling.

Remove the protective foil from the

^

chimney extension.

-

Secure the chimney extension to the

^

upper retaining plate with two

3.9 x 7.5 mm screws.

^ Bend the top hanging tabs 45° in-

wards. This will make installing the
chimney extension easier. Be careful
of sharp edges.

^

Pull the chimney extension slightly
outwards and snap over the upper
retaining plate B.

^

Fold the protective shield at the top.

^

Remove the adhesive backing from
the shield.

^

Stick the shield to the chimney exten
sion so that it is smooth and flush
with the bottom.

Attaching the chimney

^ Remove the protective foil from the

chimney.

Installation

Secure the chimney to retaning plate

^

A on both sides with two 3.9 x 7.5
mm screws.

Remove the protective foil from the

^

canopy.

If the chimney is not tall enough an
optional chimney extension can be
ordered. See "Appliance dimen­sions".

^ Pull the chimney apart slightly

slide it over the chimney extension.
Do this carefully to prevent scratch­ing the two pieces.

Air extraction

Danger of toxic fumes.

Gas cooking appliances release
carbon monoxide that can be harm
ful 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.

Please read and follow the "Warning
and Safety Instructions" to reduce the

risk of personal injury. Follow all local
building codes when installing the
hood.

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.

36

–

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.
