Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing material
The packaging is designed to protect the appliance from damage during transportation. The packaging materials used are selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal, and should be recycled.
Recycling packaging reduces the use of raw materials in the manufacturing process and also reduces the amount of waste in landfill sites.
Packaging e.g. cling film, polystyrene and plastic wrappings must be kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation!
Disposal of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances often contain valuable materials. They also contain materials which, if handled or disposed of incorrectly, could be potentially hazardous to human health and to the environment. They are, however, essential for the correct functioning of your appliance. Please do not therefore dispose of it with your
household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre or contact your dealer for advice. Ensure that it presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.

Warning and Safety instructions
Technical safety
Before installation, check the cooker
~
hood for visible signs of damage. Under no circumstances should you use a damaged appliance. A damaged appliance is dangerous.
Before connecting the appliance to
~
the mains supply, make sure that the voltage and frequency details given on the data plate correspond with the on-site electricity supply, otherwise the appliance could be damaged. Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt.
The electrical safety of this
~
appliance can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete between the appliance and an effective earthing system which complies with current local and national safety regulations. 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. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
Installation, maintenance and
~
repairs may only be carried out by a Miele authorised person in accordance with current national and local safety regulations. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for unauthorised work.
A damaged connection cable must
~
only be replaced by an approved and suitably qualified technician.
Faulty components must only be
~
replaced by genuine Miele original parts. The manufacturer can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when Miele replacement parts are used.
During installation, maintenance and
~
repair work, the appliance must be disconnected from the mains electricity supply. It is only completely isolated from the electricity supply.
For safety reasons, this appliance
~
may only be used when it has been fully installed.
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. Tampering with electrical connections or components and mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user, and can cause operational faults.
5
Warning and Safety instructions
Do not connect the appliance to the
~
mains electricity supply by a multi-socket unit or an extension lead. These do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
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. These models may only be combined with a Miele external motor.
This appliance must not be used in
~
a non-stationary location (e.g. on a ship).
In 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 guarantee.
Using at the same time as other heating appliances that depend on the air from the room
Warning - danger of toxic fumes
Great care should be taken when
~
using the cooker hood at the same time and in the same room or area of the house as another heating appliance which depends on the air in the room. Such appliances include gas, oil, wood or coal-fired boilers and heaters, continuous flow or other water heaters, gas hobs, cookers or ovens which draw air in from the room and duct exhaust gases out through a chimney or extraction ducting. When used in extraction mode, with or without an external motor fitted, the appliance draws air in from the room in which it is installed and from neighbouring rooms. If there is insufficient air, an underpressure will occur. The heating appliance may be starved of oxygen, impairing combustion.
Harmful gases could be drawn out of the chimney or extraction ducting back into the room, with potentially fatal consequences.
6
Warning and Safety instructions
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 cooker hood and the heater are in operation simultaneously, an underpressure of
0.04 mbar (4 pa) is the maximum permissible in the room.
Ventilation can be maintained by air inlets which must not be blocked, in windows, doors and outside wall vents, or by other technical measures, such as ensuring that the cooker hood can only be switched on when the heating appliance is switched off or vice versa. 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 (Corgi registered in the UK) must be sought.
If the hood is being operated in recirculation mode, the above restrictions do not apply.
7
Warning and Safety instructions
Correct use
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. Switch the cooking zone off when a pan is removed, even for a short time. Regulate the flame so that it does not burn up the sides of the pan. Do not allow the pans to overheat excessively (e.g. when using a wok). The cooker hood can become damaged when exposed to excessive heat.
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 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 filters should be regularly
~
cleaned or changed as appropriate. Saturated filters are a fire hazard. See "Cleaning and care".
The cooker hood can get very hot
~
during cooking due to heat rising from the hob. Do not touch the housing or the grease filters until the cooker hood has cooled down.
Do not use a steam-cleaner to clean
~
this appliance. Pressurised steam could reach the electrical components and cause a short circuit.
Correct installation
Refer to the cooker or hob
~
manufacturer's instructions as to whether a cooker hood may be operated above the cooker/hob.
The minimum safety distances
~
between the top of the cooker or hob and the bottom of the cooker hood given in the "Appliance dimensions" section of this booklet must be maintained, unless the hob manufacturer states that a greater safety distance is required.
If more than one cooking appliance is fitted beneath the cooker hood, and they have different minimum safety distances to the cooker hood, select the greater distance.
8
Warning and Safety instructions
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
~
connected 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, seek professional advice.
Accessories
Only use genuine Miele spare parts
~
and accessories with this appliance. If spare parts or accessories from other manufacturers are used, this will invalidate the guarantee, and Miele cannot accept liability.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.

It can also be used to check and alter the operating hours counter.
For information about using the appliance, see "Operation".
11
Modes of operation
The cooker hood works with
. . . air extraction:
The air is drawn in and cleaned by the stainless steel outer filter and the grease filter, and then directed outside.
If the on-site ventilation system does not have a non-return flap, then the non-return flap supplied with the appliance must be fitted
Having a non-return flap fitted in the ducting ensures that air, once ducted to the outside, cannot get back into the room again.
The flap is closed when the cooker hood is switched off.
When the cooker hood is switched on, the non-return flap opens for the cooking vapours to be blown directly outside.
. . . air recirculation:
(available as an optional extra with a conversion kit and charcoal filter: see "Technical Data")
The air is drawn in and cleaned first by the stainless steel outer filter and the grease filter and then by a charcoal filter. The cleaned air is then recirculated back into the kitchen through grilles in the top of the cooker hood extension piece.
Charcoal filters are available to order through your Dealer / Chartered Agent or the Miele Spare Parts Department. (See back cover for contact details and "Technical Data" for model number).
Before using the cooker hood in recirculation mode, ensure that the charcoal filter is in place. See "Cleaning and care".
12
...anexternal motor:
(EXT models only)
EXT models are designed to be connected to an external motor located outside the room.
The external motor is connected to the cooker hood by means of a control cable, and is operated by the controls on the cooker hood.
Miele|home

General notes
The surfaces and controls are susceptible to scratches and abrasions. Please observe the following cleaning instructions.
All external surfaces and controls can
^
be cleaned using a Miele E-Cloth, or with warm water and a small amount of washing-up liquid applied with a well wrung-out soft sponge or cloth.
^ Wipe the surfaces dry using a soft
cloth.
Do not use too much water when cleaning the controls. Water could penetrate into the electronics and cause damage.
Do not use any of the following to clean any surfaces:
cleaning agents containing soda, acids, chlorides or solvents,
abrasive cleaning agents, e.g. powder cleaners and cream cleaners.
20
abrasive sponges, e.g. pot scourers, or sponges which have been previously used with abrasive cleaning agents.
Please note the following advice for cleaning different surfaces.
Cleaning and care
Important for appliances with stainless steel housing
(This infomation does not apply to the controls).
Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned using the Miele E-Cloth, or with a proprietary non-abrasive cleaning agent designed specifically for use on stainless steel.
To help prevent re-soiling, a conditioning agent for stainless steel can also be used. Follow the manufacturer's instructions and apply sparingly with an even pressure following the direction of the grain.
Important for appliances with aluminium housing:
Aluminium is affected by the way that light falls on it, by the surrounding environment and by the angle you observe it from.
Aluminium surfaces and controls may suffer discolouration or damage if soiling is left on for too long. Remove any soiling straight away.
Controls
The controls may suffer discolouration or damage if soiling is left on them for too long. Remove any soiling straight away.
Observe the General notes on cleaning earlier in this section.
Do not use stainless steel cleaning agents on the controls.
Glass surfaces
Glass surfaces can be cleaned using a proprietary non-abrasive cleaning agent designed specifically for use on glass. Avoid oven sprays.
Stainless steel outer filter and grease filter
The stainless steel outer filter and the re-usable metal grease filter remove solid particles from the kitchen vapours (grease, dust, etc), preventing soiling of the cooker hood.
Observe the General notes on cleaning earlier in this section.
Do not use:
stainless steel cleaning agents,
cleaning agents containing descaling agents,
dishwasher cleaner,
oven sprays.
The stainless steel outer filter and grease filter should be cleaned regularly (at least every 3-4 weeks) to avoid a built-up of grease, but always clean them immediately if the grease filter indicator light comes on. Both the outer filter and the grease filter should be cleaned.
,
An oversaturated filter is a fire
hazard.
21
Cleaning and care
To remove the stainless steel outer filter

Cleaning and care
Fitting and replacing the charcoal filter
If the cooker hood is connected for recirculation, a charcoal filter must be inserted in addition to the grease filter. This is designed to absorb cooking odours. It is fitted in the chimney above the grease filter.
Replacement charcoal filters can be obtained from your Dealer / Chartered Agent or the Miele Spare Parts department. See back cover for contact details, and "Technical data" for type and reference number.
^ Before fitting or replacing the
charcoal filter, the outer filter and the grease filter must first be taken out. See previous section for instructions on how to do this.
To remove the charcoal filter, pull
^
down on the tab at the back of the filter.
Take the new filter out of its
^
packaging.
^
When fitting for the first time: A guide is installed for extraction mode which has to be removed for recirculation mode. Loosen the screws on it, and remove it.
24
^
Fit the filter into the front of the chimney; push it upwards at the back, and press it firmly into position.
^
Replace the grease filter and then the outer filter.
When fitting for the first time:
^
Activate the operating hours counter (see "Use").
Always replace the filter immediately if the lamp for the charcoal filter touch control comes on, or if it is no longer effective in absorbing kitchen odours. It should be replaced at least every 6 months.
Used charcoal filters can be disposed of with the normal household waste.
After fitting a new charcoal filter,
^
press the charcoal filter touch control for approximately 3 seconds to re-set the operating hours counter. The indicator lamp will go out.
If a charcoal filter is replaced before the operating hours counter has reached its maximum, the charcoal filter touch control should be pressed for approximately 6 seconds to reset the counter.
Cleaning and care
25
Cleaning and care
Changing a halogen lamp
Before any cleaning or maintenance
^
work, disconnect the cooker hood from the mains supply.
Exercise caution when changing
,
halogen lamps. They get very hot during use and remain hot for some time after being switched off. Let them cool down before you change them.
Remove the stainless steel outer filter
^
(see "Cleaning and care").
Pull the halogen lamp out of its
^
socket. Take care not to let the lamp fall onto the hob below.
Insert the new halogen lamp into its
^
socket and carefully push into position.
When replacing a defective lamp it is suggested that you use exactly the same type of lamp (see "Technical data" for lamp specification).

Safety distance between hob and cooker hood (S)
The following minimum safety distance must be maintained between the top of the cooker/hob and the bottom of the cooker hood unless a greater distance is specified by the manufacturer of the cooker or hob:
Cooking appliance Distance
S
Electric hob 450 mm
Open Grill 650 mm
Deep fat fryer (electric) 650 mm
Multi-burner gas hob with a maximum total output of
12.6 kW, no burner exceeding 4.5 kW.
Multi-burner gas hob with a total output of more than
12.6 kW, or a multi-burner gas hob where one burner exceeds 4.5 kW.
650 mm
760 mm
When deciding on the safety
distance between the hob and cooker hood, please note that a distance of 650 mm above electric cookers/hobs may be preferable to give more working space under the hood.
Account should also be taken of the
height of the person who will be using the hood most often. The person should have sufficient space to work comfortably at the hob, and also be able to reach the hood controls with ease.
– If positioned too high, extraction will
be inefficient.
– The height of the cooking appliance
must be taken into account when planning the installation height of the cooker hood.
Single gas burner with a maximum output of 6 kW.
Single gas burner with output exceeding 6 kW.

Installation
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 cooker hood at the same time as a heating appliance that relies on oxygen from the same room to avoid the danger of toxic fumes building up.
Installation instructions
See enclosed Installation sheet for instructions on how to install this appliance.
Dismantling
Should the appliance need to be dismantled, follow the installation instructions in reverse order as described on the Installation sheet.
A lever is supplied to assist with the removal of the tower.
Protective foil
(on stainless steel appliances)
The tower and extension piece have protective foil around them to prevent them being damaged during transport.
Please remove this foil before fitting them. It can be peeled off easily.
32
^ After loosening the fixing screws on
the tower, push the lever between the tower and the extension piece to lever the tower out of its fixings.
Important: To avoid the danger of toxic fumes, please observe the Warning and Safety instructions. This is especially crucial when using the cooker hood at the same time as another heating appliance which relies on air from the same room. The cooker hood should be installed according to local and national building regulations. Seek approval from the building inspector where necessary.
Connection for air extraction
Only use smooth pipes or flexible
hoses made from non-flammable materials for the extraction ducting.
When using an external motor, make
sure that the exhaust ducting is sufficiently rigid. The external motor can cause an underpressure which could result in the exhaust ducting distorting.
To achieve the greatest possible air extraction with the lowest noise level, please note the following:
To ensure efficient air extraction, the
diameter of the exhaust ducting should not be less than 150 mm.
– If flat ducting is being used, the
cross-sectional area 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 should not be kinked or compressed.
Ensure that all connections are strong and airtight.
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 cooker hood.
33
Connection for air extraction
If the exhaust air is to be ducted into
the open air, the installation of a telescopic wall vent or roof 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.
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 condensation will need to be addressed. The exhaust ducting will need to be suitably insulated.
Condensate trap
(optional accessory)
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 C 125 mm or C 150 mm ducting.
When installing a condensate trap, ensure that it is positioned vertically and if possible directly above the exhaust connection. The arrow on the housing indicates the direction of air-flow.
34
Cooker hoods designed for use with an external motor (...EXT models) have an integrated condensate trap.
Connection for air extraction
Silencer
(optional accessory)
To achieve even further reductions in noise levels, a special silencer can be fitted in the ducting system...
...with air extraction:
The silencer not only reduces noise from the fan, but also sounds from outside (e.g. traffic noise). For this reason the silencer must be positioned as close as possible to where the ducting leaves the building a.
...air extraction with external motor:
To minimise noise from the motor in the kitchen, the silencer should be positioned in front of the external motor b if possible, or if the ducting is long, then in the ducting above the cooker hood itself c.
In the case of an external motor placed inside the house, fitting a silencer behind the external motor d reduces the noise of the motor outside the house.
In all modes of operation, the most effective noise reductions are achieved if two silencers are fitted one behind the other in the system.
35
Electrical connection
All electrical work should be undertaken by a suitably qualified and competent person in strict accordance with current national and local safety regulations (BS 7671 in the UK).
Installation, repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous, for which the manufacturer cannot be held liable.
Ensure power is not supplied to the appliance until after installation or repair work has been carried out.
Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by an extension lead. These do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance.
The connection data is given on the data plate. This is visible when the
grease filters have been removed. Ensure that this data matches the household mains supply.
If the switch is not accessible after installation (depending on country), an additional means of disconnection must be provided for all poles.
For extra safety it is advisable to protect the appliance with a suitable residual current device (RCD). Contact a qualified electrician for advice.
Important
This appliance is supplied for connection to an a.c. 230 V single phase 50 Hz supply.
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Green/yellow = earth Blue = neutral Brown = live
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
Connection of this appliance should be made via a suitable isolator or a double pole fused spur connection unit which complies with national and local safety regulations and the On-Off switch should be easily accessible after the appliance has been built in. When switched off there must be an all-pole contact gap of 3 mm in the switch (including switch, fuses and relays according to EN 60335).
36
Operation with Control module DSM 400
The Miele DSM 400 control module can be used to combine the cooker hood with other components.
It enables the following:
Potential free connection
This can be used to operate a further appliance via the On/Off button s on the cooker hood.
Components used in the central ducting system are not supplied by Miele.
If in any doubt, the advice of a competent builder or, for gas, a Gas Safe installer must be sought.
Connection to a light switch
The control module can be used to switch on the cooker hood lighting and also to dim it, via a pushbutton light switch in the house.
Installation
The potential free contact on the DSM 400 a can, for example, be used in a cooker hood with an external motor ...EXT, which is connected to a central ducting system. The contact can then be used to operate an electrically driven non-return flap b which is connected to the central extraction unit c.
The tower needs to be removed before the control module can be fitted to the fan unit.
The electrical connection of components to the control module must be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person.
