IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Reliable and safe operation of this hood can only be guaranteed if it has been connected to the electrical supply.
To avoid damaging the ventilation hood, make sure that the connection data (voltage and frequency) on the data plate correspond to the building's power supply before connecting the appliance.
If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
Do not use a power bar or extension cord to connect the ventilation hood to electricity. These are a fire hazard and do not guarantee the required level of appliance safety.
To ensure safe operation, only use the ventilation hood after it has been properly installed.
This ventilation hood may not be used in non-stationary locations (e.g. on a ship).
Adequate ventilation must be provided when the hood is operated simultaneously with devices that burn gas or other fuels.
Only open the housing as described in the enclosed “Installation diagram” and in the “Cleaning and care” section of this manual. Under no circumstances should any other parts of the housing be opened.
Tampering with electrical connections or components and mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can cause operation faults.
Defective components should be replaced by Miele original parts only. Only with these parts can the manufacturer guarantee the safety of the appliance.
If the power cord is damaged, it must only be replaced by a qualified service technician.
5
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
During installation, maintenance, and repair work, the ventilation hood must be disconnected from the electrical supply. It is only completely isolated from the electricity supply if one of the following applies:
–The circuit breakers on the electrical service panel are tripped.
–The screw-type fuses on the electrical service panel have been removed.
–The power cord (if present) has been unplugged from the socket (pull the plug not the cord).
Correct use
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A COOKTOP GREASE FIRE:
–a) Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.
–b) Always turn the hood on when cooking at a high heat.
–c) Clean the ventilation hood frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on the fan or filter.
–d) Use the proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the cooking area.
Never use an open flame beneath the ventilation hood.
To avoid the risk of fire, do not flambé or grill over an open flame. When turned on, the ventilation hood will draw any flames into the filter. Fat deposits may ignite.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A COOKTOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING*:
–a) SMOTHER FLAMES with a close fitting lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray then turn off the burner. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
–b) NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN - You may be burned.
–c) DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels - a violent steam explosion will result.
–d) Use a fire extinguisher ONLY if:
–1) You have a class ABC extinguisher, and you know how to operate it.
–2) The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
–3) The fire department is being called.
–4) You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
*Based on “Kitchen Fire Safety Tips” published by NFPA.
The ventilation hood may become damaged if exposed to excessive heat from a gas cooktop.
–When using the ventilation hood over a gas cooktop, ensure that any burners in use are always covered by cookware. Turn burners off when removing the cookware, even if doing so for just a short time.
–Select cookware that is suitable for the size of the burner.
–Adjust the flame so that it never extends up the sides of the cookware.
–Avoid overheating the cookware (e.g., when cooking with a wok).
Always turn the ventilation hood on whenever a burner is in use to prevent damage from condensation.
Overheated oil and fat can ignite, causing fire damage to the ventilation system.
Do not leave cookware, pans, and deep fryers unattended when cooking with oil or fat. Similarly, never leave an open grill unattended when grilling.
Fat and debris deposits impair the proper functioning of the ventilation hood.
To ensure that cooking vapors are properly cleaned, never use the ventilation hood without the grease filters in place.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
There is a risk of fire if cleaning is not completed according to the instructions in this manual.
Please note that the heat rising from the stovetop during cooking can cause the ventilation hood to become very hot.
Do not touch the housing or the grease filters until the ventilation hood has cooled down.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Proper installation
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
–a) Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction.
–b) Sufficient air is needed for combustion and exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney of fuel burning equipment to prevent back drafting. Follow the heating equipment manufacturer’s guideline and safety standards such as those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.
–c) When cutting or drilling into the wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
–d) Ducted hoods must always be vented to the outdoors.
–e) Do not use this hood with any solid-state speed control device.
To determine whether a ventilation hood may be operated above your cooking appliance, please refer to the information provided by the appliance's manufacturer.
Safety regulations prohibit the installation of a ventilation hood over solid fuel stoves.
An insufficient safety distance between the cooktop and the ventilation hood can result in damage to the ventilation hood.
The minimum safety distances between the top of the cooktop and the bottom of the ventilation hood given in the “Installation” section of this booklet must be observed, unless the cooktop manufacturer states that a greater safety distance is required.
If more than one cooking appliance is installed beneath the ventilation hood, and they have different minimum safety distances to the ventilation hood, select the greater distance.
9
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Be sure to observe the information contained in the “Installation” section when mounting the ventilation hood.
Metal parts can have sharp edges which may cause injury. Wear gloves to protect your hands from being cut.
When installing the exhaust duct, only use pipes or tubes made of non-flammable material. These can be obtained from your Miele dealer or from Miele Technical Service.
Exhaust air should not be vented into a chimney or vent flue which is otherwise in use and should not be channeled into ducting which ventilates rooms with fuel-burning installations.
If exhaust air is to be extracted into a chimney or ventilation duct no longer used for other purposes, seek professional advice.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE USE ONLY METAL DUCTWORK.
