Turn on a burner to the desired power
setting.
The overhead lighting will come on.
After a few seconds, the blower will come on, briefly operating at power level 2 before immediately switching to level 1.
The ventilation hood selects the power setting 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.

Operation (Automatic mode)

Examples for power levels 1 to B

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 blower level.
If you select a lower power setting on
the cooktop or turn off a burner, the hood will accordingly switch to a lower blower level.
25
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. 10seconds to 4minutes*, a cooking process is recognized.
The hood turns on automatically and, after the cooktop power level has been reduced, switches back to blower level 3, where it remains for approx. 5minutes.
After this, the blower level is once again determined by the Con@ctivity function.
You can also manually select a
different blower level before then.

Switching off

Turn off all burners.
Over the next few minutes, the ventilation hood blower 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 Booster setting, the blower
switches immediately to level3.
– From level 3, it will switch to level 2
after approx. 1minute.
– From level 2, it will switch to level 1
after 2minutes.
– After 2minutes at level 1, the blower
automatically turns off.
– After another 30seconds, the
overhead lighting turns off.
The cooking process is then finished.
26
Operation (Automatic mode)

Temporarily exiting Automatic mode

To temporarily exit Automatic mode when cooking:
Manually select a different blower
level, or
Manually turn the hood off, orActivate the delayed shutdown
function on the ventilation hood. The blower will switch itself off after the selected delayed shutdown time, and the lighting will remain on.

Energy-saving tips

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.
– Clean or change the filters at regular
intervals. Heavily soiled filters reduce performance, increase the risk of fire and are unhygienic.
– Use the Con@ctivity function. The
ventilation hood will switch on and off automatically at the optimum power level for the cooking you are doing, which ensures low energy consumption.
– If you are operating the ventilation
hood manually, please note the following:
– Check the power level selected on
the ventilation hood. A low power level is usually sufficient. Only use the Booster setting when necessary.
– 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. If cooking vapors and odors still need to be removed from the kitchen air after cooking, use the delayed shutdown function. The blower will switch off automatically after the selected delayed shutdown time.
33

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

Risk of fire!
Oversaturated grease filters are a fire hazard.
Clean the grease filters at regular intervals.
The reusable metal grease filters in the appliance remove the solid particles contained in kitchen vapors (grease, dust, etc.), thereby preventing the ventilation hood from becoming dirty.
The grease filters must be cleaned at regular intervals.
Heavily soiled grease filters hinder air extraction and will lead to increased levels of soiling in the ventilation hood and in the kitchen.

Cleaning intervals

Accumulated grease solidifies over a longer period of time and makes cleaning more difficult. The grease filters should therefore be cleaned every 3 to 4 weeks.
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.
34
Cleaning and care

Removing the grease filters

When handling the grease filter,
be careful not to drop it. This can result in damage to the filter
and the cooktop below. Make sure you hold the filter securely
at all times when handling it.
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.

Cleaning the grease filters by hand

Clean the filters with a soft nylon
brush in a mild solution of hot water and dish soap. Do not use undiluted dish soap.

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
35
Cleaning and care

Cleaning the grease filters in a dishwasher

Place the grease filters upright or
slightly inclined in the lower basket. Ensure the spray arm is not obstructed.
Use a commonly available household
dishwashing detergent.
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 grease filters in any way.

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.

Resetting the filter saturation indicator for the grease filters

Once cleaning is complete, the filter saturation indicator must be reset.
While the blower is turned on, press
the filter saturation indicator for approx. 3seconds until 1 is the only indicator flashing.
The grease filter symbol goes out.
When cleaning the grease filters before the full operating time has elapsed:
Press the filter saturation
indicator for approx. 6seconds until 1 is the only indicator flashing.
Reinstall the grease filters. When
inserting the filters, make sure that the locking clip is facing down.
36
If the filters have been installed
incorrectly, you can insert a small screwdriver into the slit to disengage the locking clip.
Cleaning and care

OdorFree Charcoal Filter

With recirculation mode, two charcoal filters must be fitted in addition to the grease filters. These are designed to absorb cooking odors.
The charcoal filters are fitted in the canopy above the grease filters.
Charcoal filters are available to order via the Miele Web Store (see end of this booklet for contact details), or from your Miele dealer. The charcoal filters are listed under “Technical data” at the back of this booklet.

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.
44

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.
45
Air venting

Condensate trap

In addition to insulating the exhaust duct, we recommend installing a condensate trap to collect and evaporate any condensate which might accumulate. Condensate traps are available for exhaust ducts with a diameter of 5" (125 mm) or 6" (150 mm).
When installing a condensate trap,
make sure that it is positioned vertically and, if possible, directly above the hood outlet duct collar. The arrow on the housing indicates the direction of airflow.

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.
46
