Warning and Safety Instructions
When connecting the hood to an external vent, make sure that there is
adequate ventilation in the room
where the ventilation hood is to be
used.
When using the hood in the same area
as other appliances requiring room air
(e.g. non-electric water heaters, gas
cooktops, gas ovens, etc.) make certain that the air extracted by the hood
does not hinder their operation. These
appliances need air for combustion.
Adequate ventilation can be maintained by installing air vents in windows
or walls or by ensuring that the hood
can only be turned on when the other
appliances are off, or vice versa.
To prevent combustible gases being
drawn back into the room by the hood,
the underpressure in the room must be
no greater than 0.0006 psi (0.04 mbar)
when the hood and these appliances
are running simultaneously.
Disposal of old appliances

Functional description
Functional description
The hood draws the air in through a
grease filter and then directs it into the
exhaust ductwork.
The hood comes with a non-return exhaust valve that is placed inside the
ductwork during the installation procedure. This valve automatically closes
when the hood is turned off so that no
exchange of outside air and room air
can occur. When the hood is turned on,
the air pressure of the exhaust fan automatically opens the valve, allowing the
inside air and odors to be vented outside.

will damage the surface.
They
A mild, non-abrasive stainless steel
cleaner can also be used to clean the
hood.
Cleaning and care
Grease filters
The reusable metal grease filters will
absorb any grease, dust, or other solid
particles that are pulled into them by
the fan.
The filters should be cleaned every 3–4
weeks, or whenever the grease filter indicator illuminates.
Continued operation with dirty
grease filters is dangerous. They
could ignite and cause personal injury and property damage.
To release the filters, press the latches toward the middle of the filters.
Remove the filters.
15
Cleaning and care
To clean the grease filters:
By hand - use a scrub brush in hot
water with a mild detergent.
In a dishwasher - place the grease filters in the lower basket.
Depending on the detergent, cleaning the grease filters in a dishwasher may cause permanent discoloration of the filter surface.
Performance of the filter will be unaffected, however.
After cleaning, the filters can be
dried by placing them on a towel.
While the filters are removed, clean
any dirt or grease from the filter casing to prevent the risk of fire.
Before replacing the filters, make
sure that the latches are facing
down. If you inadvertently install a filter upside down, insert a small
screwdriver into the slit along its
edge to disengage it from the casing.
Once the filters have been replaced,
reset the timer by pressing and holding the Grease filter button until the
indicator light goes out.

Installation Instructions
The majority of the weight of the installed Ventilation System will be
supported by the canopy. Its mounting bracket must be firmly attached
to the stud framing
behind the drywall. If studs are not located in the
required locations, a plywood back-
1
ing (min.
ning at least two studs
/2” (13mm) thick) span-
must be installed. Failure to adequately
support the weight as stated may result in the Ventilation System falling
off the wall, thereby causing personal injury and property damage.
Example:
To install a plywood backing board
Find the studs to the left and right of
the mounting location by tapping the
wall or using a stud finder.
Mark the center of each of the studs
with a vertical line.
Be careful not to damage any wiring
or plumbing that may be located behind the wall. Make sure that the
power supply to the area being
worked in has been turned off at the
breaker panel before cutting into
the wall.
Cut out the drywall along the marked
lines and replace it with plywood of a
1
matching thickness (min.
/2” (13mm)
thick). Tape the joints and refinish
the wall.
See enclosed installation sheet for instructions on how to install the appliance.
Determine and mark the location of
the retaining plate for the canopy as
outlined on the Installation sheet.
Make a cutting line 3” (76 mm)
above and 3” (76 mm) below the outline of the retaining plate.

Air extraction
Air extraction
Danger of toxic fumes.
Gas cooking appliances release
carbon monoxide that can be harmful or fatal if inhaled. The exhaust
gases extracted by the hood
should be vented outside of the
building
Do not terminate the exhaust ducts
in attics, garages, crawlspaces, etc.
Please read and follow the "Warning
and Safety Instructions“ to reduce the
risk of personal injury, and follow all local
building codes when installing the hood.
Exhaust ducting and connections
– The ducting should be as short and
straight as possible, and the number
of sharp bends should be minimized.
– For most efficient air extraction, the
diameter of the ductwork should not
be less than 6" (150 mm). Use of flat
ducts also reduces the air extraction
efficiency.
only.
– Use smooth or flexible pipes made
from non-flammable materials for exhaust ducting.
– Where the ductwork is horizontal, it
must slope away from the hood at
least 1/8" per foot (1cm per meter) to
prevent condensation dripping into
the appliance.
– If the exhaust is ducted through an
outside wall, a Miele Telescopic Wall
Vent can be used.
– Noise levels of the hood will increase
if flat ducts or round ducts of less
than 6" (150 mm) in diameter are
used.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, Use only
metal ductwork.
CAUTION
To reduce risk of fire and to properly
exhaust air, be sure to duct air outside - Do not vent exhaust air into
spaces within walls or ceilings or
into attics, crawl spaces, or garages.
– If the exhaust is ducted into an inac-
tive flue, the air must be expelled
parallel to the flow direction of the
flue.
21
Air extraction
Never connect an exhaust hood to
an active chimney, dryer vent, vent
flue, or room venting ductwork.
Seek professional advice before
connecting an exhaust hood vent to
an existing, inactive chimney or
vent flue.
Ductwork with a diameter of less
than 6" (150 mm) should only be
used when absolutely necessary.
As duct diameter decreases, the
hoods performance and sound levels will be affected.
Note:
If the ductwork runs through rooms,
ceilings, garages, etc. where temperature variations exist, it may need to be
insulated to reduce condensation. In
some cases, a condensate trap may
also be required.
