Warning and Safety instructions
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, or in recirculation mode with a recirculation box installed
outside the room, 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 will 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.
8
Page 9
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 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 or 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 (registered with an official gas safety body
in accordance with national safety regulations, GasSafe in the UK)
must be sought.
If the cooker hood is used in recirculation mode, where the air is
directed back into the room in which it is located, operating a
heating appliance which depends on the room air at the same time
is no cause for concern.
9
Page 10
Warning and Safety instructions
Correct use
Never use a naked flame beneath the cooker hood. To avoid the
danger of fire, do not flambé or grill over a naked flame.
When switched on, the cooker hood could draw flames into the filter.
Fat deposits could ignite, presenting a fire hazard.
The cooker hood can become damaged when exposed to
excessive heat.
– 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.
– 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 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.
10
Page 11
Warning and Safety instructions
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 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.
Correct installation
Refer to the cooker or hob manufacturer's instructions as to
whether a cooker hood may be operated above the cooker/hob.
Safety regulations prohibit the fitting of a cooker hood over solid
fuel stoves.
Insufficient distance between the cooker or hob and the cooker
hood can result in damage to the hood.
The minimum safety distances between the top of the cooker or hob
and the bottom of the cooker hood given in the "Installation" section
must be maintained, unless the hob manufacturer states that a
greater 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.
The distances given in "Installation" must be observed when
fitting the cooker hood.
11
Page 12
Warning and Safety instructions
Exhaust ducting must be of non-inflammable material. Suitable
material is available from Miele specialist dealers or the Miele Spares
Dept.
The appliance must not be connected to a chimney or 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.
Cleaning and care
There is a risk of fire if the cooker hood is not cleaned 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.
Accessories
Only use genuine original Miele accessories and spare parts with
this appliance. Using accessories or spare parts from other
manufacturers will invalidate the guarantee, and Miele cannot accept
liability.

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 the packaging reduces the
use of raw materials in the
manufacturing process and also
reduces the amount of waste in landfill
sites.
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, or contact your dealer or
Miele for advice. You are also
responsible (by law, depending on
country) for deleting any personal data
that may be stored on the appliance
being disposed of. Please ensure that
your old appliance poses no risk to
children while being stored prior to
disposal.

Modes of operation
Depending on the model of the cooker
hood, the following options are
available:
Extraction mode
The air is drawn in and cleaned by the
grease filter and directed outside.
Non-return flap
The non-return flap is designed to
prevent the exchange of room and
outside air taking place when the
cooker hood is switched off.
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.
Recirculation mode
Recirculation mode cooker hoods
require a conversion kit and charcoal
filters (see "Technical Data")
The air is drawn in and cleaned first by
the grease filter and then by the
charcoal filters. The cleaned air is then
recirculated back into the kitchen.
DA 2510 cannot be used as a
recirculation mode cooker hood.
If the on-site ventilation system does
not have a non-return flap, the nonreturn flap supplied must be fitted in the
exhaust socket in the motor unit.

Page 17
Operation with an external
motor
(...EXT model cooker hoods)
A Miele extraction fan is installed in a
location of your choice outside the
room for cooker hoods which are
designed to be connected to an
external motor. The external motor is
connected to the cooker hood by
means of a control cable and is
operated by Con@ctivity 2.0 or by the
controls on the cooker hood.
Modes of operation
17
Page 18
Modes of operation
Con@ctivity 2.0 function
Automatic control
The cooker hood has a communication
facility which enables the automatic
operation of the cooker hood
depending on the operational state of
the hob.
To make use of the communication
facility the hob must be fitted with a
Con@ctivity 2.0 Stick .
The hob transmits information about its
operational status via a wireless signal
to the cooker hood.
– When the hob is switched on, the
hob lighting comes on independently
and then after a short time the fan
also comes on.
– During cooking the cooker hood
automatically sets the power level
according to the number of cooking
zones in operation and their power
levels.
– After switching the hob off the fan
and the hob lighting will switch off
automatically after a specified period
of time.
See "Operation" for detailed information
about this function.
Refer to the installation instructions for
the Con@ctivity 2.0 Stick to check
whether it is compatible with your hob.
To use the Con@ctivity 2.0 function, a
wireless connection must be
established between the hob and the
cooker hood (see "Activating
Con@ctivity 2.0").
18
Page 19
Operation (Automatic mode)
When Con@ctivity 2.0 is activated, the
cooker hood always works in automatic
mode (see "Activating Con@ctivity
2.0").
To operate the cooker hood manually,
see "Cooking without Con@ctivity 2.0".
Cooking with Con@ctivity 2.0
(Automatic mode)
Switch a cooking zone on at the
power level you want.
The hob lighting will come on.
After a few seconds the fan will come
on, first at power level 2, then it will
switch immediately to power level 1.
The cooker hood selects the power
level automatically during cooking.
This is determined by the total output of
the hob, i.e, the number of cooking
zones in operation and the power levels
selected.
If you select a higher power level or
are using several cooking zones, the
cooker hood will switch to a higher
power level.
Reaction time
The cooker hood reacts with a slight
delay because altering the power level
on the hob does not immediately result
in a reduction or increase in cooking
vapours.
Because the hob transmits the
information to the cooker hood at
intervals, this can also cause delays.
The reaction can vary from a few
seconds to a couple of minutes.
When you reduce the power level or
the number of cooking zones on the
hob, the cooker hood power level is
also reduced.
Examples for power levels 1 to 4
19
Page 20
Operation (Automatic mode)
Cooking process
If for example you switch on a
cooking zone at the highest power
level to heat a pan for frying and
reduce the power level after approx.
60 to 90 seconds*, a cooking process
is recognised (*60 seconds to 5
minutes for a HiLight hob).
The cooker hood switches itself on and
when the hob power level has been
reduced, the hood switches to power
level 3 and remains at that level for
approx. 5 minutes.
After that the cooker hood power level
is determined automatically by the
Con@ctivity function.
You can select another power level
manually before then.
Switching off
Switch off all cooking zones.
The cooker hood fan will reduce its
power level over the next few minutes
and will eventually switch itself off.
This helps to neutralise any lingering
vapours and odours in the air.
– From the intensive setting, the fan
switches immediately 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
switches itself off.
– After another 30 seconds, the hob
lighting switches off.
The cooking process is then finished.

Energy saving tips
This cooker hood 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 cooker
hood 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
cooker hood power level and
therefore benefit from reduced
energy consumption.
– Check the power level selected on
the cooker hood. A lower power level
is generally sufficient for the majority
of cooking. Only use the Booster
setting when necessary.
– When a large volume of cooking
vapours is being produced, switch to
a high power level in good time. This
is more efficient than operating the
cooker hood for longer to try to
capture cooking vapours which have
already been distributed throughout
the kitchen.
– Make sure that you switch the cooker
hood off after use.
– Clean or change the filters at regular
intervals. Heavily soiled filters reduce
performance, increase the risk of fire
and are unhygienic.
26
Page 27
Cleaning and care
Before proceeding with any
maintenance or cleaning task, the
cooker hood must be disconnected
from the power supply, see "Warning
and safety instructions".
Housing
General information
The surfaces and controls are
susceptible to scratches and
abrasion.
Please observe the following
cleaning instructions.
All external surfaces and controls can
be cleaned using hot water with a
small amount of washing-up liquid
applied with a well wrung-out soft
sponge or cloth.
Make sure that water does not get
into the cooker hood.
Only clean the area of the controls
with a damp cloth.
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.
An oversaturated filter is a fire
hazard.
Cleaning interval
Grease which is left to accumulate over
time will harden and become difficult to
remove. The grease filter should
therefore be cleaned at least every 3 - 4
weeks.
The operating hours counter reminds
you to clean the filter regularly. The
grease filter symbol will light up.
You can set the operating hours
counter for the grease filter to suit the
type of cooking you do (see
"Operation").
Then wipe the surfaces dry using a
soft cloth.
Do not use:
– cleaning agents containing soda,
acids, chlorides or solvents,
– abrasive cleaning agents, e.g.
powder cleaners or cream cleaners
and abrasive sponges, as well as pot
scourers or sponges which have
been used previously with abrasive
cleaning agents.
27
Page 28
Cleaning and care
Removing a grease filter
When handling a grease filter, be
careful not to drop it.
This can result in damage to the filter
and the hob below.
Make sure you hold the filter securely
at all times when handling it.
To take out a 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 filter with a soft nylon brush
in a mild solution of hot water and a
small amount of washing-up liquid.
Do not use "neat" washing up liquid.
Cleaning the grease filter in a
dishwasher
Place the filter as upright as possible
in the lower basket, with the short
sides upright or at an angle, ensuring
the spray arm is not obstructed.
Use a standard household
dishwasher detergent.
Select a dishwasher programme with
a wash temperature between 50°C
and 65°C.
Depending on the cleaning agent
used, cleaning the filter in a
dishwasher can cause permanent
discolouration to internal surfaces of
the filter. However, this will not affect
the functioning of the filter in any way.
After cleaning
After cleaning, leave the filter to dry
on an absorbent surface before
replacing 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.
Unsuitable cleaning agents
Unsuitable cleaning agents can cause
damage to the surface of the filters if
used regularly.
Do not use:
– cleaning agents containing descaling
agents
– powder cleaners, cream cleaners
– aggressive multi-purpose cleaning
agents or spray cleaners for grease
– oven sprays
28

Charcoal filters
With recirculation mode, two charcoal
filters must be fitted in addition to the
grease filter. These are designed to
absorb cooking odours.
They are fitted into the canopy above
the grease filter.
Charcoal filters are available to order via
the Miele Webshop or from the Miele
Spare Parts Department (see end of this
booklet for contact details). See
technical data for type.
Fitting/replacing charcoal filters
Before fitting or replacing a charcoal
filter, the grease filters must first be
taken out (see previous section for
instructions on how to do this).
Take the charcoal filters out of their
packaging.
If the grease filter is inadvertently
replaced the wrong way round, insert
a small screwdriver blade into the slit
to disengage the clip.
Press the charcoal filters into the
frame.
Replace the grease filters.
When fitting for the first time, activate
the operating hours counter (see
"Operation").
29
Page 30
Cleaning and care
When to change the charcoal filters
Always replace the charcoal filters
when they no longer absorb kitchen
odours effectively.
They should, however be replaced at
least every 6 months.
The operating hours counter will remind
you to replace the charcoal filters by
lighting up the charcoal filter symbol .
The charcoal filter operating hours
counter needs to be activated before
using for the first time (see

Cleaning and care
Changing a lamp
Only use the specified lamps.
Other lamps, e.g. halogen lamps,
may become damaged due to the
high generation of heat.
The lamps should be replaced with a
lamp of the same type:
Manufacturer ............................... EGLO
Lamp type .................................... GU10
Wattage ........................................... 5 W
ILCOS D Code...... DR-5-H-GU10-50/54
These lamps have a different luminosity.
Only use lamps of the same type in the
cooker hood.
These lamps are available from Miele or
from specialist retailers.
Switch off the fan and the lighting.
The lamps can get hot in use.
Allow the lamps to cool down for a
few minutes before changing them.
Disconnect the cooker hood from the
mains electrical supply (see "Warning
and Safety instructions").
Insert the lever supplied into the gap
between the lamp and the lamp
holder.
The lamp will then drop downwards.
Grip the lamp, turn it anti-clockwise
and take it out.
Screw the new lamp into the socket
and push it upwards. Please follow
the manufacturer's safety
instructions.

Installation recommendations
– To achieve optimum vapour
extraction, the cooker hood must
cover the hob. It should be
positioned centrally over the hob, not
to the side of it.
– The installation area must be easily
accessible. The cooker hood 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 cooker hood.
38
Page 39
Connection for air extraction
If the cooker hood is used at the
same time as a heating appliance
that relies on oxygen from the same
room, there is a risk in certain
circumstances of toxic fumes
building up.
It is essential that the "Warning and
Safety" instructions are observed.
The cooker hood should be installed
according to local and national
building regulations. Seek approval
from the building inspector where
necessary.
Use smooth or flexible ducting made
from approved non-flammable
materials for exhaust ducting.
When using an external motor, make
sure that the exhaust ducting is
sufficiently rigid. The external motor
can cause an underpressure which
can result in the exhaust ducting
distorting.
To achieve the most efficient air
extraction with the lowest noise levels,
please note the following:
– The diameter of the exhaust ducting
should not be less than 150mm.
– 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.
– Ensure that all connections are
strong and airtight.
Remember that any constriction of
the air flow 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.
If the exhaust air is to be ducted into
a flue, the ducting must be directed in
the flow direction of the flue.
When ducting is horizontal it must be
laid to slope away at at least 1cm per
metre. This is to ensure that
condensate cannot drain back into
the appliance.
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.
– Only use wide radius bends.
– The exhaust duct must not be kinked
or compressed.
39
Page 40
Connection for air extraction
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 for 125 mm or 150
mm ducting are available as optional
accessories.
Silencer
To achieve even further reductions in
noise levels, a special silencer (optional
accessory) can be fitted in the ducting
system.
Extraction mode
When installing a condensate trap,
ensure that it is positioned vertically
and as closely as possible above the
exhaust socket.
The arrow on the housing indicates
the direction of air-flow.
A condensate trap is integrated in
cooker hoods which are designed for
connection to an external motor
(model......EXT).
40
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.
Page 41
Recirculation mode
The silencer needs to be positioned
between the exhaust socket and the
exhaust grille . Ensure there is
adequate space for fitting it.
Extraction mode with external motor
Connection for air extraction
To minimise noise from the motor in the
kitchen, the silencer should be
positioned in front of the external motor
if possible, or, if the ducting is long,
above the exhaust socket on the cooker
hood . In the case of an external
motor located inside the house, fitting a
silencer behind the external motor
reduces the noise of the motor outside
the house.

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
