Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety

Unauthorised installation, maintenance and repairs can cause
considerable danger for the user. Installation, maintenance and repairs must only be carried out by a Miele authorised technician.
A damaged appliance can be dangerous. Check it for visible signs
of damage. Do not use a damaged appliance.
The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed
when correctly earthed. It is essential that this standard safety requirement is met. If in any doubt please have the electrical installation tested by a qualified electrician.
Reliable and safe operation of this cooker hood can only be
assured if it has been connected to the mains electricity supply.
The connection data (voltage and frequency) on the data plate of
the cooker hood must match the mains electricity supply in order to avoid the risk of damage to the cooker hood Compare this before connecting the appliance to the mains. Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt.
Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by a
multi-socket unit or an extension lead. These are a fire hazard and do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance.
EXT model cooker hoods are connected to their external motor
using a special connection cable and plug connectors. These appliances may only be combined with a Miele external motor.
6
Warning and Safety instructions
For safety reasons, this appliance may only be used after it has
been built in.
The cooker hood must not be used in a non-stationary location
(e.g. on a ship).
Touching electrical components and tampering with electrical and
mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user and can cause operational faults. 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.
The manufacturer's warranty will be invalidated if the appliance is
not repaired by a Miele approved service technician.
Miele can only guarantee the safety of the appliance when
genuine original Miele replacement parts are used. Faulty components must only be replaced by Miele spare parts.

Warning and Safety instructions

Using at the same time as another heating appliance that depends on the air from the room

Danger of toxic fumes! Great care should be taken when using the cooker hood in the same room or the same area of the house at the same time as another heating appliance that depends on the air from the room. Such heating appliances draw in air from the room and duct exhaust gases out to the open air through a chimney or extraction ducting. They include gas, oil, wood and coal-fired boilers and heaters, continuous flow or other water heaters, gas hobs and ovens.
The cooker hood draws in air from the kitchen and from neighbouring rooms. This applies to the following modes of operation:
- extraction mode,
- extraction mode with an external motor,
- recirculation mode with a recirculation box installed outside the room. If there is insufficient air, an underpressure will occur. The heating appliance may be starved of oxygen. This impairs combustion. Harmful gases could be drawn from the chimney or extraction ducting back into the room. Risk of death!
8
Warning and Safety instructions
In order to ensure safe operation and to prevent gases given off by the heating appliance from being drawn back into the room, when the cooker hood and the heater are both operated simultaneously, an underpressure in the room of 0.04mbar (4Pa) is the maximum permissible.
Sufficient ventilation can be maintained by air inlets which cannot be blocked, e.g. in windows, doors and outside wall vents. The diameter of the inlet openings must enable sufficient ventilation. 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 should be sought.
If the cooker hood is being operated in recirculation mode, whereby the air is redirected into the room in which it is installed, the above restrictions do not apply.
9
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.
Overheated oil and fat can ignite, causing fire damage to the
cooker hood. When cooking with oil or fat, chip pans and deep fat fryers etc, do not leave the pans unattended. Similarly, never leave an open grill unattended when grilling.
10
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.
An insufficient safety distance between the hob and the cooker
hood can result in damage to the cooker 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 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.
The distances given in "Installation" must be observed when
fitting the cooker hood.
Metal parts can have sharp edges which may cause injury.
Wear gloves to protect your hands from being cut.
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.
11
Warning and Safety instructions
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 warranty and Miele cannot accept liability.
12

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.
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.

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.

Operation with an external motor

(...EXT model cooker hoods)
Cooker hoods designed for use with an external motor have to be connected to a Miele external motor located in a position of your choice outside the room. The external motor is connected to the cooker hood by means of a control cable and is operated via Con@ctivty or by the controls on the cooker hood.
