Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety

Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs (including
removal of any cover) can cause considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance and repairs must only be carried out by a Miele authorised technician.
A damaged appliance can be dangerous. Check it for visible signs
of damage. Do not use a damaged appliance.
The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between it and an effective earthing system. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is present and tested regularly and, where there is any doubt, the household wiring system should be inspected by a qualified electrician.
Reliable and safe operation of this rangehood can only be assured
if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.
The connection data (voltage and frequency) on the data plate of
the rangehood must match the mains electricity supply in order to avoid the risk of damage to the rangehood. Compare this before connecting the appliance to the mains electricity. If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by a
multi-socket unit or an extension lead. Extension leads are a fire hazard and do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance.
5
Warning and Safety instructions
For safety reasons, this appliance may only be used after it has
been built in.
This rangehood must not be installed and operated in mobile
installations (e.g. on a ship).
Tampering with electrical connections or components and
mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can cause operational faults. Only open the housing as described in the instructions given in the installation sheet and in the “Cleaning and care” section of this booklet. Under no circumstances should any other parts of the housing be opened.

Warning and Safety instructions

Using at the same time as other heating appliances that depend on the air from the room

Danger of toxic fumes! Great care should be taken when using the rangehood in the same room or the same area of the house as another heating appliance that depends on the air from the room. Such heating appliances draw in air from the room and duct exhaust gases out through a chimney or extraction ducting. They include gas, oil, wood and coal-fired boilers and heaters, continuous flow or other water heaters, gas cooktops and ovens.
The rangehood draws in air from the kitchen and from neighbouring rooms. This applies to the following modes of operation:
- extraction mode
- recirculation mode with a recirculation box installed outside the room.
If there is insufficient air, an underpressure will occur. The heating appliance may be starved of oxygen. This impairs combustion. Harmful gases could be drawn from the chimney or extraction ducting back into the room. This could have potentially fatal consequences. Risk of death!
7
Warning and Safety instructions
In order to ensure safe operation and to prevent gases given off by a heating appliance from being drawn back into the room, when the rangehood and the heater are both operated simultaneously, an underpressure in the room of 0.04mbar (4Pa) is the maximum permissible.
Sufficient ventilation can be maintained by air inlets which cannot be blocked, e.g. in windows, doors and outside wall vents. The diameter of the inlet openings must enable sufficient ventilation. A ventilation brick alone is not generally sufficient to ensure safe ventilation.
The overall ventilation condition of the dwelling must be taken into account. If in any doubt, the advice of a competent builder or, for gas, a qualified gas fitter (registered with an official gas safety body in accordance with national safety regulations) must be sought.
If the rangehood is being operated in recirculation mode, whereby the air is redirected into the room in which it is installed, the above restrictions do not apply.
8
Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use

Open flames are a fire hazard!
Never use an open flame under the rangehood. To avoid the danger of fire, do not flambé or grill over an open flame. When switched on, the rangehood could draw flames into the filter. Kitchen grease deposits could ignite.
The rangehood can become damaged when exposed to excessive
heat.
– When using the rangehood over a gas cooktop, ensure that any
burners in use are always covered by a pan. Switch the cooking zone off when a pan is removed, even for a short time.
– Select a pan which is suitable for the size of the burner.
– Regulate the flame so that it does not burn up the sides of the
pan.
– Avoid overheating the pan (e.g. when cooking with a wok).
Always switch the rangehood on when a cooking zone is in use,
otherwise condensation may collect in the rangehood, which could cause corrosion.
Overheated oil and fat can ignite, causing fire damage to the
rangehood. When cooking with oil or fat, chip pans and deep fat fryers etc., do not leave the pans unattended. Similarly, never leave an open grill unattended when grilling.
9
Warning and Safety instructions
Do not use the rangehood without the filters in place. This way
you will avoid the risk of grease and dirt getting into the appliance and hindering its smooth operation.
The rangehood can get very hot during cooking due to heat rising
from the cooktop. Do not touch the housing or the grease filters until the rangehood has cooled down.

Correct installation

Refer to the cooktop manufacturer's instructions as to whether a
rangehood may be operated above the cooktop.
Safety regulations prohibit the fitting of a rangehood over solid
fuel stoves.
An insufficient safety distance between the cooktop and the
rangehood can result in damage to the rangehood. The minimum safety distances between the top of the cooktop and the bottom of the rangehood 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 fitted beneath the rangehood, and they have different minimum safety distances to the rangehood, select the greater distance.
The information provided in “Installation” must be observed when
installing the rangehood.
Metal parts can have sharp edges which may cause injury.
Wear gloves to protect your hands from being cut.
All ducting, pipework and fittings must be of non-flammable
material and comply with all relevant national and local building regulations.
10
Warning and Safety instructions
The appliance must not be connected to a chimney or vent flue
which is in current use for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels. Neither should it be connected to ducting which ventilates rooms with fireplaces.
If exhaust air is to be extracted into a chimney or ventilation duct
no longer used for other purposes, seek professional advice.

Cleaning and care

There is a risk of fire if cleaning is not carried out as described in
these operating instructions.
Do not use a steam cleaning appliance to clean this appliance.
The steam could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit.
In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or
other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the machine and its surroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage which may be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the machine warranty.

Accessories

Use only genuine original Miele spare parts. If spare parts or
accessories from other manufacturers are used, the warranty will be invalidated, and Miele cannot accept liability.
11

Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing material

The transport and protective packaging has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal, and can normally be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the use of raw materials in the manufacturing process and also reduces the amount of waste in landfill sites. Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation.

Disposing of your old appliance

Electrical and electronic appliances often contain valuable materials. They also contain specific materials, compounds and components, which were essential for their correct function and safety. These could be hazardous to human health and to the environment if disposed of with your domestic waste or if handled incorrectly. Please do not, therefore, dispose of your old appliance with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre for electrical and electronic appliances. You are also responsible for deleting any personal data that may be stored on the appliance prior to disposal. Please ensure that your old appliance poses no risk to children while being stored prior to disposal.
12

Description of the functions

Depending on the model of the rangehood, the following options are available:

Air extraction mode

The air is drawn in and cleaned by the grease filter and directed outside.

Non-return flap

A non-return flap fitted in the exhaust air system ensures that when the rangehood is not in operation the duct is closed and no exchange of room air and outside air can take place. The flap is closed when the rangehood is switched off. When the rangehood is switched on, the non-return flap opens for the cooking vapours to be blown directly outside.

Recirculation mode

(available as an optional accessory with a conversion kit and charcoal filters: see “Technical Data”)
The air is drawn in and cleaned first by the grease filter and then by charcoal filters. The cleaned air is then recirculated back into the kitchen.
If the on-site exhaust air system does not have a non-return flap, one is supplied with the rangehood. It must be fitted in the exhaust socket on the motor unit.

Operation

Switching the fan on/off

Switch the fan on as soon as you start cooking. This is to ensure that vapours are captured right from the start.
For light to heavy cooking vapours and odours, select from power levels 1 to 2.
For short periods of cooking food with intensive vapours and a strong aroma, e.g. when searing meat, select Booster setting B.
Switch the fan on with the fan
switch and select the power level you want.

Switching the fan off

It is advisable to run the fan for a few minutes after cooking has finished to neutralise any lingering vapours and odours in the air.
To switch off, move the fan switch to
0.

Switching the cooktop lighting on/off

The cooktop lighting can be switched on and off independently of the fan.
Use the lighting switch to switch
the cooktop lighting on (1) or off (0).
16
This rangehood operates very efficiently and economically. The following will help you to save even more energy when using it:
– Ensure that there is sufficient
ventilation in the kitchen when cooking. In extraction mode, if there is insufficient air flow the rangehood cannot operate efficiently and this causes increased operating noise levels.
– Always cook with the lowest possible
setting. This produces fewer cooking vapours, so you can use a lower rangehood power level and therefore benefit from reduced energy consumption.
– Check the power level selected on
the rangehood. A lower power level is generally sufficient for the majority of cooking. Only use the Booster setting when necessary.

Energy saving tips

– When a large volume of cooking
vapours are being produced, switch to a high power level in good time. This is more efficient than operating the rangehood for longer to try to capture cooking vapours which have already been distributed throughout the kitchen.
– Make sure that you switch the
rangehood off after use.
– Clean or change the filters at regular
intervals. Heavily soiled filters reduce performance, increase the risk of fire and are unhygienic.
17

Cleaning and care

Before carrying out any
maintenance or cleaning, the rangehood must be disconnected from the electricity supply (see “Warning and Safety instructions”).

Housing

General information

Unsuitable cleaning agents can damage the surfaces and control elements.
Do not use any cleaning agents containing soda, acid, chloride, or solvent.
Do not use any abrasive cleaning agents, e.g. powder cleaners or cream cleaners and abrasive sponges, or pot scourers or sponges which have been used previously with abrasive cleaning agents.
Moisture in the rangehood can
cause damage. Make sure that water does not get
into the rangehood.
Clean all surfaces and control
elements using a small amount of warm water and dishwashing liquid. Apply with a soft sponge.
After cleaning, wipe the surfaces dry
using a soft cloth.

Grease filter

Fire hazard!
An oversaturated grease filter is a fire hazard.
Clean the grease filter at regular intervals.
The re-usable metal grease filter in the appliance removes solid particles from the kitchen vapours (grease, dust, etc.), preventing soiling of the rangehood.
The grease filter must be cleaned at regular intervals.
A heavily soiled grease filter hinders air extraction and will lead to increased levels of soiling in the rangehood and in the kitchen.

Grease filter cleaning intervals

Accumulated grease solidifies over a longer period of time and makes cleaning more difficult. The grease filter should therefore be cleaned at least every 3 to 4 weeks.

Removing the grease filter

When handling the grease filter,
be careful not to drop it. This can result in damage to the filter
and the cooktop below. Make sure you hold the filter securely
at all times when handling it.
18
To take out the grease filter, release
the locking clip on the filter, lower the filter approx. 45°, unhook it at the back and remove it.

Cleaning the grease filter by hand

Clean the grease filter with a soft
nylon brush in a mild solution of hot water and a small amount of washing-up liquid. Do not use undiluted washing-up liquid.

Unsuitable cleaning agents

Unsuitable cleaning agents can cause damage to the surface of the filters if used regularly. Do not use:
Cleaning and care
Use a standard household
dishwasher detergent.
Select a dishwasher programme with
a wash temperature between 50°C and 65°C.
Depending on the detergent used, cleaning the grease filter in a dishwasher can cause permanent discolouration to the internal surfaces of the filter. This will not affect the functioning of the grease filter in any way.

After cleaning

After cleaning, leave the grease filter
to dry on an absorbent surface before refitting it.
When removing the filter for cleaning,
also clean off any residues of oil or fat from the now accessible casing to prevent the risk of these catching fire.
Refit the grease filter, making sure
that the locking clip is facing down towards the cooktop.
– cleaning agents containing descaling
agents,
– powder cleaners or cream cleaners,
– aggressive all-purpose cleaning
agents or spray cleaners for grease,
– oven sprays.

Cleaning the grease filter in the dishwasher

Place the grease filter upright or
slightly inclined in the lower basket. Ensure the spray arm is not obstructed.
If the grease filter has inadvertently
been refitted upside down, insert a small screwdriver blade into the slit to disengage the clip.
19
Cleaning and care

NoSmell active charcoal filters

If the rangehood is connected for recirculation, two charcoal filters must be inserted in addition to the grease filter. These are designed to absorb cooking odours.
The charcoal filters are fitted in the canopy above the grease filter.
Charcoal filters are available to order via the Miele online shop (see the end of this booklet for contact details) or directly from Miele. The part number of the charcoal filters required is listed under “Technical data”.

Fitting and replacing the charcoal filters

Before fitting or replacing a charcoal
filter, the grease filter must first be taken out (see previous section for instructions on how to do this).
Unwrap the charcoal filters.

Disposing of the charcoal filters

Used charcoal filters can be disposed
of with the normal household waste.
Fit the charcoal filters into the frame.Refit the grease filter.

When to change the NoSmell active charcoal filters

Replace the charcoal filters when they no longer absorb kitchen odours effectively, or at least every 6months.

Installation recommendations

– To achieve optimum vapour
extraction, the rangehood must be positioned centrally over the cooktop, not to the side.
– The installation area must be easily
accessible. The rangehood should be easily accessible and easy to dismantle in the event that service is required. This should be taken into consideration when planning the position of cupboards, shelves, ceilings or features in the vicinity of the rangehood.

Connection for air extraction

Before installation, it is important
to read the information given on the following pages as well as the “Appliance dimensions” and the “Warning and Safety instructions” at the beginning of this booklet. This is particularly crucial when using the rangehood at the same time as a heating appliance that relies on oxygen from the same room, which could result in the build-up of toxic fumes.
The rangehood should be installed according to local and national building regulations. Seek approval from the building inspector where necessary.
To achieve the greatest possible air extraction with the lowest noise level, please note the following:
– The diameter of the exhaust ducting
should not be less than 150mm.
– If flat ducting is being used, the
cross-section must not be smaller than the cross-sectional area of the exhaust connection.
– The exhaust ducting should be as
short and straight as possible.
– Only use wide radius bends.
– The exhaust ducting must not be
kinked or compressed.
– Ensure that all connections are
strong and airtight.
Remember that any constriction of the airflow will reduce extraction performance and increase operating noise.
If the exhaust is ducted through an
outside wall, a telescopic wall vent or a roof vent (available as an optional accessory) is recommended.
Only use smooth pipes or flexible ducting made from approved non­flammable materials for exhaust ducting.
26
If the exhaust air is to be ducted into
a vent flue, the ducting must be directed in the flow direction of the flue.
*INSTALLATION*
Installation
Where ducting is horizontal, it must
be laid to slope away at at least 1cm per metre. This is to ensure that condensate cannot drain back into the extractor.
If the exhaust ducting is to run through
rooms, ceiling space etc. there may be great variations in temperature between the different areas. The problem of condensation will need to be addressed. The exhaust ducting will need to be suitably insulated.

Condensate trap

Silencer

To achieve even further reductions in noise levels, a special silencer (optional accessory) can be fitted in the ducting system.

Air extraction mode

In addition to insulating the exhaust ducting, we recommend that a suitable condensate trap is also installed to collect and evaporate any condensate which may occur. Condensate traps are available for 125mm or 150mm ducting.
When installing a condensate trap,
ensure that it is positioned vertically and, if possible, directly above the exhaust socket. The arrow on the housing indicates the direction of airflow.
The silencer not only reduces noise from the motor outside the house, but also sounds from outside (e.g. traffic noise). For this reason, the silencer must be positioned as close as possible to the ducting exit .
27
*INSTALLATION*
Installation

Recirculation mode

The silencer needs to be positioned between the exhaust connection and the exhaust grille . Ensure there is adequate space for fitting it.

Electrical connection

The rangehood must only be connected to a properly installed AC230V ~ 50Hz earthed socket. The electrical installation must be in compliance with current local and national safety regulations.
For extra safety, it is advisable to protect the appliance with a suitable residual current device (RCD) with a trip current of 30mA.
Connection via a socket is recommended as it facilitates customer service (according to VDE 0701). The socket should be easily accessible after the appliance has been installed.
If the socket is no longer accessible after installation, an additional means of disconnection must be provided for all poles. Suitable means of disconnection include switches with an all-pole contact gap of at least 3mm. These include isolator switches, fuses and relays (EN60335).
