Warning and safety instructions
The appliance is only completely
isolated from the electricity supply
when:
– it is switched off at the wall socket
and the plug has been withdrawn
(do not pull on the cable, only on the
plug)
– the mains fuse is withdrawn
– or the screw-out fuse is removed, (in
countries where this is applicable).
Ensure current is not supplied to the
appliance while maintenance or repair work is being carried out.
Do not connect the appliance to
the mains electricity supply by an
extension lead. Extension leads do not
guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
Use of the appliance
Do not let small children play with
the appliance or its controls or
operate it. Supervise its use by the elderly or infirm.
Never use an open flame beneath
the cooker hood. To avoid the
danger of fire, do not flambé or grill
over an open flame.
When switched on the cooker hood
could draw flames into the filter. Fat particles drawn into the cooker hood present a fire hazard.
When using the cooker hood over
a gas hob ensure that any burners
in use are always covered by a pan,
otherwise flames could be drawn up by
the suction of the cooker hood, parts of
which could then be damaged.
Always switch the cooker hood on
when a cooking zone is in use,
otherwise condensation may collect in
the hood, which could cause corrosion.
When cooking with oil or fat, chip
pans and deep fat fryers etc, do
not leave the pans unattended. Never
leave an open grill unattended when
grilling. Overheated oil and fat can ignite and could set the cooker hood on
fire.
Do not use the cooker hood with-
out the grease filters in place.
This way you will avoid the risk of
grease and dirt getting into the appliance and hindering its smooth operation.
The filters should be cleaned regu-
larly. A saturated filter is a fire hazard.
Under no circumstances use a
steam cleaner to clean this appliance. Pressurised steam could give
rise to a short circuit or cause permanent damage to the surface and components, for which the manufacturer of
the cooker hood cannot accept any responsibility.
In countries where there are areas
which may be subject to infestation
by cockroaches or other vermin,
pay particular attention to keeping
the appliance 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 appliance guarantee.

Warning and safety instructions
Installation
The distance between the top of
the hob and the bottom of the
cooker hood must measure at least:
– 45 cm above electric hobs;
Australia/New Zealand: 60 cm
– 65 cm above gas hobs;
Australia/New Zealand: 60 cm
– 65 cm above a Miele Open grill.
For non-Miele cooking appliances maintain the safety distance as recommended by the manufacturer in their Installation and Operating instructions.
If more than one appliance is fitted beneath the cooker hood and they have
different minimum safety distances to
the cooker hood, select the higher distance.
Safety regulations prohibit the fitting of a cooker hood over solid
fuel stoves.
All ducting, pipework and fittings
must be of non-flammable material. These can be obtained from the
Miele Spare Parts department or from
builders’ merchants.
The appliance must not be con-
nected to a chimney or vent flue
which is in use. 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, take
professional advice.

Warning and safety instructions
When using the cooker hood at the
same time as another heating appliance which depends on the air in the
room (e.g. gas, oil or coal fired heaters,
continuous flow or other water heaters,
gas cooker, gas hob or gas oven), special care must be taken as the action of
the cooker hood extracts air from the
room, which these type of heaters need
for combustion.
In order to ensure safe operation, and to
prevent gases given off by the heating
appliances from being drawn back into
the room when the extractor and the
heater are in operation simultaneously,
an underpressure in the room of 0.04
mbar (4 pa) is the maximum permissible.
Ventilation can be maintained by air inlets which cannot be blocked, in windows, doors and outside wall vents, or
by other technical measures, such as ensuring that the extractor can only be
switched on when the heating appliance
is switched off or vice-versa.
Appliances with external fans
For appliances with an external fan
motor fitted (... EXT models) the connection of the two units must be made
using the connection cable and the
plug connectors. Make sure the correct combination of the two appliances
has been selected.
Disposal of your old appliance
Ensure that disconnection from the
mains supply is carried out by a
competent person. Render any plug
useless. Cut off the cable directly behind the appliance to prevent misuse.
The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any damage caused
by non-observance of these Warning and safety instructions.
N.B: 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 “Corgi”
installer must be sought.

Operation
Altering the filter operating hours
counter
You can match the maximum time for
the filter operating hours counter to suit
the type of cooking you do. You can
choose from 20, 30, 40 or 50 hours.
Select a short time if you roast and fry a
lot.
If you use very little fat for cooking, select a longer time.
If, however, you only cook occasionally
we recommend that you select a short
time because grease which has built
up gradually over a long period of time
will harden on the grease filters and
make cleaning more difficult.
Use the the On/Off touch control to
switch the fan off.
Press the run-on option touch control
and the grease filter touch control at
the same time.
The indicator lamps for the grease filter
touch control and the _ touch control will flash.
Use the _ touch control to select
the required time.
The _ touch control indicator lamps
show the time which has been set:
1st lamp from the left = 20 hours
2nd lamp from the left = 30 hours
3rd lamp from the left = 40 hours
4th lamp from the left = 50 hours
Confirm the procedure by pressing
the grease filter touch control.
14
If the procedure is not confirmed
within 4 minutes of programming
the steps, the cooker hood will automatically revert to the "old" data.

Cleaning and care
Before any cleaning or maintenance
work the cooker hood must be disconnected from the mains supply.
Ensure that:
- it is switched off at the wall socket
and the plug has been withdrawn
(do not pull on the cable, only on
the plug), or
- the mains fuse is withdrawn, or
- the screw-out fuse is removed (in
countries where this is applicable).
Cleaning and care
Grease filter
The re-usable metal grease filter in the
appliance removes solid particles from
the kitchen vapours (grease, dust, etc)
preventing soiling of the cooker hood.
The grease filter should be cleaned
regularly to avoid a build-up of fat. Always clean the filter immediately the
grease filter touch control light comes
on.
Ensure current is not supplied to the
appliance while maintenance or repair work is being carried out.
Housing
The cooker hood housing can be
cleaned using warm water with a little
mild washing up liquid. Dry with a soft
cloth.
Never use cleaners which scour or
contain chlorine, acids or soda.
These would damage the surface of
the cooker hood.
A mild, non-abrasive proprietary stainless steel cleaner is suitable for cleaning the stainless steel surfaces.
Glass surfaces
Glass surfaces can be cleaned using a
proprietary cleaning agent for glass.
An oversaturated filter is a fire
hazard.
To remove the grease filter, loosen
the fixing screws on the filter.
Remove the filter.
Clean the filter –
– by hand: with a scrubbing brush in a
mild solution of warm water with a
little washing up liquid.
– in a dishwasher: place the grease
filter with the short side upright in the
lower basket, ensuring the spray
arm is not obstructed.
15
Page 16
Cleaning and care
Some dishwasher detergents may
cause the surface of the metal filter
to discolour.
This discolouration will not affect the
functioning of the filter in any way.
After cleaning leave the filter to dry
for a while on an absorbent surface
before putting it back in place.
When removing the filter for cleaning
also clean off any residues of oil or
fat from the now accessible housing
to prevent the risk of these catching
fire.
To replace the grease filter, first fit it
into position at the rear of the cooker
hood, then lift it up at the front.
Tighten up the fixing screws.

Changing a light bulb
Disconnect the cooker hood from
the mains supply by
– withdrawing the fuse from the
fused spur connection unit (if
accessible), or
– withdrawing the mains fuse, or
– removing the screw-out fuse, (in
countries where this is applicable).
When in use the halogen bulbs
become very hot. Do not touch immediately as it remains hot for some
time after being switched off.
Do not touch the bulb surface directly when changing the bulb as
this will damage it (fat particles adhere to the surface). Please follow
the manufacturer’s instructions.

Non-rewireable plugs BS 1363 (UK)
If this machine or appliance is fitted
with a non-rewireable plug, the following information applies:
If the socket outlets are not suitable for
the plug supplied with this product, it
must be cut off and an appropriate
plug fitted. The plug cut from the flexible cord should be disposed of, and
on no account be inserted into any
socket elsewhere in the house (electric
shock hazard).
The fuse cover must be re-fitted when
changing the fuse and if the fuse cover
is lost the plug must not be used until a
suitable replacement is obtained.
The colour of the correct replacement
cover is that of the coloured insert in
the base of the plug (as applicable to

Danger of toxic fumes.
Please heed the “Warning and
safety instructions” to avoid the
danger of toxic fumes.
The cooker hood should be installed according to local building
regulations. Seek approval from the
building inspector where necessary.
Air extraction ducting
– The extraction ducting should be as
short and straight as possible.
– To ensure efficient air extraction the
diameter of the exhaust ducting
should not be less than 150 mm.
If extraction ducting with a diameter
of less than 150 mm or flat ducting
were to be used the noise level of
the cooker hood would increase
and extraction would be less efficient.
Only reduce the diameter of the ducting if absolutely necessary, e.g.
where narrower ducting has already
been installed.
– When ducting is horizontal it must be
laid to slope away at at least 1 cm
per metre to ensure no condensate
drains into the appliance.
– If the exhaust air is to be ducted into
the open air the installation of a telescopic wall vent is recommended.
– If the exhaust air is to be ducted into
a vent flue the ducting must be directed in the flow direction of the flue.
– Only use wide radius bends. Tight
bends reduce the air throughput of
the cooker hood.
– Only use smooth pipes or flexible
hoses made from non-flammable materials for extraction connection.
22
Page 23
Important
If the exhaust ducting is to run through
rooms, ceiling space etc. where there
may be great variations in temperature
between the different areas the problem of sweating or condensation will
need to be addressed.
The exhaust ducting will need to be
suitably insulated.
Condensate trap
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 from
the Miele Spare Parts Department.
When installing a condensate trap
ensure that it is positioned vertically
and if possible directly above the
exhaust socket.
