,WARNING TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE USE ONLY METAL DUCTWORK.

The hood offers two modes of operation:

Functional description

Air extraction

The air is drawn in and cleaned by the decor panel and the grease filter and directed 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 exhaust fan automatically opens the flap blowing the inside air and cooking odors outside.

Recirculation mode

Air is drawn through the decor panel, grease filter and an active charcoal filter. The filtered air is then recirculated back into the kitchen through a vent at the top of the hood’s chimney.

The recirculation mode requires an install kit and charcoal filter which are optional accessories.

Before using the hood in recirculation mode, ensure that the active charcoal filter is in place, see "Cleaning and care".

If several gas surfaces are installed

–

under the hood, the total output must be considered when determining the minimum safety distance.

Be sure to follow the minimum safety

–

distances given by the gas cooktop manufacturer to easily flammable materials e.g. upper cabinets.

If local building codes require a

–

greater safety distance, follow their requirement.

If there is more than one appliance

–

beneath the hood and they have different minimum safety distances always select the greater distance.

See "Important Safety Instructions" for further information.

The installation procedure differs depending on the model and venting method. Before beginning the installation:

Standard unit height H

Air Extraction ...........28

/16" - 38"

...................(716 - 966 mm)

Recirculation...............33"-42"

..................(836 - 1066 mm)

If the standard unit height H is not suitable to the kitchen’s ceiling height, longer optional chimney extensions are available from your Miele dealer or Miele.

To fit the lower chimney section, the distance between the top of the chimney and the ceiling must be at

least

/8" (20 mm).

Read all instructions.

Determine height (S), regarding the user’s body height, i.e. a comfortable height for the user. However, the greater the distance, the less effectively cooking odors are drawn in.

If the hood is fitted flush to the ceiling, regard the possible unit height when selecting the installation height.

The majority of the weight of the installed ventilation system will be supported by the lower retaining plate. It must be firmly attached to the stud framing behind the drywall. If studs are not available in the required locations, a plywood backing (min. ½" (13 mm) thick) spanning at least two studs must be installed. Failure to adequately support the weight as stated may result in the ventilation system falling off the wall, causing personal injury and property damage.

(If plywood backing is not needed, proceed to the included "Installation diagram".)

To install a plywood backing

Plywood backing

Find the studs to the left and right of

the mounting location by tapping the wall or using a stud finder.

Mark a vertical cutting line along the

center of each stud.

CAUTION

When cutting or drilling into the wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.

Remove the drywall between the

cutting lines and replace it with plywood of a matching thickness (min. ½" (13 mm) thick). Tape the joints and refinish the wall.

^ Proceed to the enclosed "Installation

WARNING

Danger of toxic fumes.

Air extraction

Exhaust ducting and connections

Use smooth or flexible pipework made from approved non-flammable materials for exhaust ducting.

Gas cooking appliances release carbon monoxide that can be harmful or fatal if inhaled. To reduce the risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, the exhaust gases extracted by the hood should be vented outside of the building only.

Do not vent exhaust air into spaces within walls or ceilings or in attics, crawl spaces or garages.

To reduce the risk of fire, only use metal ductwork.

Please read and follow the

"IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS" to reduce the risk of

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

To achieve the most efficient air extraction and quietest noise levels, consider the following:

The diameter of the ductwork should

–

not be less than 6" (150 mm).

If flat ducting is used, the cross

–

section must not be smaller than the cross section of the ventilation exhaust.

– The ducting should be as short and

straight as possible.

– Use ductwork with a wide radius.

– The exhaust duct must not be bent

or compressed.

– Make sure all connections are

secure.

– Where the ductwork is horizontal, it

must slope away from the hood at

least

/8" per foot (1 cm per meter) to prevent condensation dripping into the appliance.

–

If the exhaust is ducted through an outside wall, a Telescopic Wall Vent can be used.

Air extraction

Reducing Collar

(optional accessory)

– If the exhaust is ducted into an

inactive 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, flue, or room venting ductwork. Seek professional advice before connecting an exhaust hood vent to an existing, inactive chimney or vent flue.

Important

If the ductwork runs through rooms, ceilings, garages, etc. where temperature variations exist, it may need to be insulated to reduce condensation.

If you would like to reduce the environmental impact of your ventilation system by limiting the CFM output the Reducing Collar can be installed.

It reduces the air flow to less than 400 CFM.

Check local building codes for max. CFM requirements.

Push the Reducing Collar on the exhaust port of the fan.

Push the exhaust hose over it.

Fix both with a hose clamp.

Condensate trap

(optional accessory)

In some cases, a condensate trap may also be required to collect and evaporate any condensate which may occur. This optional accessory is available for ducts 5" (125 mm) and 6" (150 mm) in diameter.

Air extraction

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