Description of functions

The following functions are available on
your ventilation hood, depending on the
model:

Vented mode

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

Recirculation mode

Recirculation mode hoods require a
recirculation kit and OdorFree Charcoal
Filters (available as optional
accessories), see "Technical Data" for
more information.

The air is drawn in and cleaned first by
the grease filters and then by the
charcoal filters. The clean air is then
recirculated back into the kitchen.

16

Description of functions

Con@ctivity 2.0 function

Automatic control

This hood features a communication
function which enables the automatic
control of the hood based on the
operational status of a Miele induction
cooktop.

To enable the communication function,
the cooktop must be equipped with the
corresponding Con@ctivity 2.0 stick .

The cooktop transmits information
about its operational status to the hood
using a radio signal.

– When a burner is turned on, the

cooktop lighting on the hood turns on
automatically. After a brief delay, the
ventilation hood fan also comes on.

– During cooking, the hood

automatically selects the fan level
based on the number of burners in
operation and their power levels.

– Once you have turned off the

cooktop, the fan and the lighting will
turn off automatically after a
predetermined delay.

Detailed information about this function
can be found under "Operation."

Please refer to the installation
instructions for the Con@ctivity 2.0
stick to determine whether connection
to your cooktop is possible.

There must be radio contact between
the cooktop and the hood for you to be
able to use the Con@ctivity 2.0 function
(see "Activating Con@ctivity 2.0").

17

Operation (Automatic mode)

When Con@ctivity 2.0 is active, the
hood always operates in Automatic
mode (see "Activating Con@ctivity

2.0").

See "Cooking without Con@ctivity 2.0"
for information on manually operating
the hood.

Cooking with Con@ctivity 2.0 (Automatic mode)

 Turn on a burner to the desired power

setting.

Overhead cooktop lighting.

After a few seconds, the fan will come
on, briefly operating at power level 2
before immediately switching to level 1.

The hood selects the fan level
automatically during cooking.

This level is determined by the total
output of the cooktop, i.e. the number
of burners in operation and the power
settings selected.

Reaction time

Changing the power setting on the
cooktop does not lead to an immediate
increase or decrease in cooking vapors.
For this reason, the hood reacts with a
slight delay.

Delays can also result from the fact that
the cooktop transmits the information to
the hood in intervals.

The reaction time can vary from a few
seconds to a couple of minutes.

 If you select a higher power setting

on the cooktop or switch on multiple
burners, the hood will switch to a
higher fan level.

 If you select a lower power setting on

the cooktop or turn off a burner, the
hood will accordingly switch to a
lower fan level.

Examples for fan levels 1 to 4

18

Operation (Automatic mode)

Cooking process

 If, for example, you switch on a

burner at the highest power setting to
heat cookware in preparation for
searing and then reduce the power
level after approx. 60 to 90 seconds,
a cooking process is recognized.

The hood turns on automatically and,
after the cooktop power level has been
reduced, switches back to fan level 3,
where it remains for approx. 5 minutes.

After this, the fan level is once again
determined by the Con@ctivity function.

 You can also manually select a

different fan level before then.

Deactivation

 Turn off all burners.

Over the next few minutes, the
ventilation hood fan setting will
decrease one level at a time until the
hood eventually turns off.

This helps to neutralize any lingering
vapors and odors in the air.

– From the intensive setting, the fan

immediately switches to level 3.

– If the fan is operating at level 3, it will

switch to level 2 after approx. 1
minute.

– From level 2, the fan switches to level

1 after 2 minutes.

– After 2 minutes at level 1, the fan

automatically turns off.

– After another 30 seconds, the

overhead cooktop lighting turns off.

The cooking process is now finished.

19

Operation (Automatic mode)

Temporarily exiting Automatic mode

To temporarily exit the Automatic mode
when cooking:

 Manually select a different fan level,

or

 Manually turn the hood off, or
 Activate the Delayed shut down

function  on the ventilation hood.

24

This hood operates in a very efficient
and energy-saving manner. The
following will help you to save even
more energy when using it:

– Ensure that there is sufficient

ventilation in the kitchen when
cooking. If there is insufficient air flow
during vented mode, the hood
cannot operate efficiently, causing
increased operating noise levels.

– Always cook with the lowest possible

setting. This produces fewer cooking
vapors so that you can use a lower
hood power level and therefore
benefit from reduced energy
consumption.

– Check the power level selected on

the hood. A lower power level is
generally sufficient for the majority of
cooking. Only use the booster level
when necessary.

Energy-saving tips

– When a large volume of cooking

vapors are being produced, switch to
a high power level in good time. This
is more efficient than operating the
hood for longer to try to capture
cooking vapors that have already
been distributed throughout the
kitchen.

– Make sure that you switch off the

hood after use.

– Clean or change the filters at regular

intervals. Heavily soiled filters reduce
performance, increase the risk of fire
and are unhygienic.

25

Cleaning and care

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK
OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR
INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE
THE FOLLOWING:

 Before cleaning or servicing the

hood, disconnect it from the power
supply, see "IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS".

Stainless steel housing

General information

The surfaces and control buttons are
susceptible to scratching and
chipping.

Observe the following cleaning
instructions.

 Clean all surfaces and control buttons

using warm water and liquid dish
soap. Apply with a sponge cloth.

Make sure that no water gets into the
interior of the hood.

Only use a damp cloth to clean the
hood, especially in the control panel
area.

Grease filters

The reusable metal grease filters in the
appliance remove the solid particles
contained in kitchen vapors (fat, dust,
etc.), thereby preventing the ventilation
hood from becoming dirty.

 A dirty filter is a fire hazard!

Cleaning intervals

Over longer periods of time, fat buildup
on the grease filter hardens and makes
cleaning more difficult. Therefore, we
recommend cleaning the grease filters
once every 3-4 weeks.

Removing the grease filters

During removal, the filter may drop to
the ground.

This can result in damage to the filter
and the cooktop.

During cleaning, be sure to hold the
filter securely.

 After cleaning, dry the surfaces with a

soft cloth.

Avoid the following:

– Cleaners containing soda, acid or

chloride, or cleaners containing
solvents

– Abrasive sponges, e.g. pot scourers

or sponges which have been
previously used with abrasive
cleaning agents.

26

 To remove a grease filter, release the

locking clip. Then, open the filter to a
45° angle, unhook it, and remove it
from the hood.

Unsuitable cleaning agents

Unsuitable cleaners can cause damage
to the filter surfaces if used regularly.
Do not use any of the following:

– Lime removers

– Abrasive powders or abrasive liquids

– Aggressive all-purpose cleaners and

degreaser sprays

– Oven sprays

Cleaning the grease filters in the dishwasher

 Place the filters as upright as possible

in the lower basket. Ensure that the
spray arm is not obstructed.

 Use a common dishwashing

detergent.

After cleaning

 After cleaning, leave the filters on an

absorbent surface to dry.

 When removing the filters for

cleaning, also clean off any
accessible oil or fat buildup from the
housing. Doing so will prevent a fire
hazard.

 Select a program with a wash

temperature between 120°F (50°C)
and 150°F (65°C). In a Miele
dishwasher use the "Normal"
program.

Depending on the detergent used,
cleaning the filters in a dishwasher
may cause the inside filter surfaces to
become discolored. However, this will
not affect the functioning of the filters
in any way.

Installation

Installation recommendations

– To achieve optimum vapor extraction,

the hood must be centered over the
cooktop, not to the side.

– The mounting area must be easily

accessible. The ventilation hood
should be easy to reach and
disassemble in case a service call is
necessary. This should be taken into
consideration when planning the
position of cabinetry, shelves,
ceilings or decorative elements in the
vicinity of the ventilation hood.

36

Air venting

WARNING: Danger of toxic fumes.
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.

Only use smooth pipes or flexible
duct hoses made from non­combustible materials for exhaust
ductwork.

To achieve the greatest possible air
extraction with the lowest noise levels,
please note the following:

– The diameter of the exhaust duct

should not be less than 6" (150mm).

– If flat exhaust ducts are used, the

cross section should not be smaller
than that of the exhaust connector.

– The exhaust duct should be as short

and straight as possible.

– Make sure that all connections are

secure and airtight.

Remember that any constriction of
the airflow will reduce extraction
performance and increase operating
noise.

 If the exhaust duct is to be routed

through an outside wall, we
recommend installing a telescopic
wall vent or a rooftop vent (available
as an optional accessory).

 If the exhaust air is conveyed into an

exhaust air chimney, the inlet
connector must face the flow
direction.

 When installing the exhaust duct

horizontally, a minimum slope of ¹/₈inch
per foot must be maintained to prevent
condensate from flowing into the
ventilation hood.

 If the exhaust duct is to be routed

through cool rooms, ceilings, etc., the
temperatures in these different areas
may differ greatly. Therefore water
condensation must be considered
and the exhaust duct will need to be
insulated.

– If elbows are needed, make sure they

have a large radius.

– The exhaust duct itself must not be

kinked or compressed.

37

Air venting

Reducing Collar

(optional accessory)

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 blower.

 Push the exhaust hose over it.
 Secure both with a hose clamp.

38

Electrical connection

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK
OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR
INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE
THE FOLLOWING:

All electrical work should be
performed by a qualified electrician
in strict accordance with national
regulations (for USA: ANSI-NFPA 70)
and local safety regulations.
Installation, repairs and other work
by unqualified persons could be
dangerous.

Ensure that power to the appliance is
OFF while installation or repair work
