required safety of the appliance, (e.g.
danger of overheating).
Use
Do not let small children play with
the appliance or its controls or
operate it. Supervise its use by the
elderly or infirm.
Never use an open flame beneath
the cooker hood. To avoid the
danger of fire, do not flambé or grill
over an open flame. When switched on,
the cooker hood could draw flames into
the filter. Fat particles drawn into the
cooker hood present a fire hazard.
When using the cooker hood over
a gas hob ensure that any burners
in use are always covered by a pan.
Otherwise flames could be drawn up by
the suction of the cooker hood, parts of
which could then be damaged.
Always switch the cooker hood on
when using the hob.
Other 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.
Do not use the cooker hood without
the grease filters in place.
This way you will avoid the risk of
grease and dirt getting into the
appliance and hindering its smooth
operation.
The filters should be regularly
cleaned, or changed, as
appropriate. Saturated filters are a fire
hazard.
Under no circumstances use a
steam cleaner to clean this
appliance. Pressurised steam could
reach the electrical components and
cause a short circuit.
In countries where there are areas
which may be subject to infestation
by cockroaches or other vermin, pay

Warning and Safety instructions
Installation
The distance between the top of
the cooker/hob and the bottom of
the cooker hood must measure at least:
450 mm above electric hobs and
–
cookers,
650 mm above gas hobs and
–
cookers,
650 mm above an open grill from our
–
range
For non-Miele cooking appliances
maintain the safety distance as
recommended by the manufacturer in
their Installation and Operating
instructions.
If more than one appliance is fitted
beneath the cooker hood and they have
different minimum safety distances to
the cooker hood, select the higher
distance.
Safety regulations prohibit the
fitting of a cooker hood over solid
fuel stoves.
All ducting, pipework and fittings
must be of non-flammable material.
These can be obtained from the Miele
Spare Parts department or from
builders' merchants.
The appliance must not be
connected to a chimney or vent
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, take
seek professional advice.

Page 7
Warning and Safety instructions
When using the cooker hood at the
same time as another heating
appliance which depends on the air in
the room, (e.g. gas, oil or coal fired
heaters, continuous flow or other water
heaters, gas cooker, gas hob or gas
oven) special care must be taken, as
the action of the cooker hood extracts
air from the room, which these types of
heater need for combustion.
They could also draw exhaust air back
in from chimneys or ducting in
contravention of fire safety regulations.
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 extractor
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 and outside wall vents,
or by other technical measures, such
as ensuring that the extractor can only
be switched on when the heating
appliance is switched off or vice-versa.
Appliances with external fans
For appliances with an external fan
motor fitted (...EXT models) the
connection of the two units must be
made using the connection cable and
the plug connectors.
Make sure the correct combination of
the two appliances has been selected.
Disposal of your old appliance
Before discarding an old appliance
switch off and disconnect it from
the power supply. Cut off and render
any plug useless. Cut off the cable
directly behind the appliance to prevent
misuse.
This should be done by a competent
person.
The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by noncompliance with these Warning and
Safety instructions.
N.B: The overall ventilation condition of
the dwelling must be taken into
account. If in any doubt, the advice of a

Brief description
The cooker hood works with
. . . air extraction:
The air is drawn in and cleaned by the
grease filters and directed outside.
The cooker hood is fitted with a
non-return flap. This flap is closed when
the cooker hood is switched off. No
exchange of room air and outside air
can take place. When the cooker hood
is switched on, the non-return flap
opens for the cooking vapours to be
blown directly outside.
. . . an external fan:
The EXT models are designed to be
connected to an external fan located
outside the room.
The external fan is connected to the
cooker hood by means of a control
cable and is operated by the controls

Cleaning and care
Grease filters
Re-usable metal filters are fitted which
remove solid particles (oil, dust, etc.)
from the kitchen vapours, preventing
soiling of the cooker hood.
The filters should be cleaned regularly
(at least every 3-4 weeks) to avoid a
build-up of fat, but always clean as
soon as the grease filter touch control
lamp comes on.
An over saturated filter is a fire
hazard.
To take out the grease filters press
^
the locking clips in towards the
middle of the filter. Holding carefully,
lower and remove the filter.
^ Clean the filters
– by hand: with a nylon brush in,
warm water with a little washing up
liquid.
– in a dishwasher: place the filters
with the short side upright in the
lower basket, ensuring the spray arm
is not obstructed.
Depending on the cleaning agent
used, cleaning the grease filters in a
dishwasher can cause permanent
discolouration to the surface of the
filters.
However, this will not affect the
functioning of the grease filters in
any way.
^
After cleaning, leave the filters to dry
on an absorbent surface before
putting them back in place.
16
Page 17
When removing the filters for
^
cleaning also clean off any residues
of oil or fat from the now accessible
housing to prevent the risk of these
catching fire.
When putting the grease filters back in
position, ensure that the locking clips
are visible facing down towards the
hob.
Should the grease filters be put back
upside down insert a small screwdriver
into the slits to disengage them. Do not
let them drop on to the hob below.
After replacing the grease filters,
^
press the grease filter touch control
for approx. 3 seconds to re-set the
operating hours counter.
The indicator lamp will go out.
^ If the grease filters are cleaned
before the operating hours counter
has reached its maximum, the grease
filter touch control should be pressed
for approx. 6 seconds to reset the
counter to zero.

Installation Instructions
Safety regulations prohibit the fitting
of this cooker hood over a solid fuel
stove.
For safety reasons a minimum safedistance must be maintained
between the top of the hob / cooker
and the bottom of the cooker hood:
– 450 mm above electric hobs /
cookers
– 650 mm above gas hobs / cookers
– 650 mm above an open grill
from our range.
See "Warning and Safety instructions"
for further information.
A distance of 650 mm may be
preferable above electric hobs /
cookers to give more working space.
When deciding dimension S ensure
that the minimum specified safety
distance between the hob / cooker and
the cooker hood is maintained. If the
hood is fitted flush to the ceiling make
sure that the remaining distance to the
ceiling is not greater or less than
appliance height H.

Before installation it is important to
read the information given on the
following pages as well as the
Warning and Safety instructions at
the beginning of this book.
Installation Instructions

Page 24
Connection for air extraction
Danger of toxic fumes.
Please observe the Warning and
Safety instructions to avoid the
danger of toxic fumes.
The cooker hood should be installed
according to local building
regulations. Seek approval from the
building inspector where necessary.
The extraction ducting should be as
–
short and straight as possible.
To ensure efficient air extraction, the
–
diameter of the exhaust ducting
should not be less than 150 mm.
If exhaust ducting with a diameter of
less than 150 mm or flat ducting is
used, the noise level of the cooker
hood will increase and extraction will
be less efficient.
Where ducting is horizontal, it must
–
be laid to slope away at at least 1 cm
per metre.
This is to ensure that condensate
cannot drain back into the cooker
hood.
If the exhaust air is to be ducted into
–
the open air, the installation of a
telescopic wall vent is
recommended.
Only reduce the diameter of the
ducting if absolutely necessary, e.g.
where narrower ducting has already
been installed.
–
Only use wide radius bends. Tight
bends reduce the air throughput of
the cooker hood.
–
Only use smooth pipes or flexible
hoses made from non-flammable
materials for extraction connection.
24
–
If the exhaust air is to be ducted into
a vent flue, the ducting must be
directed in the flow direction of the
flue.
Page 25
Important:
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.
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.
When installing a condensate trap,
ensure that it is positioned vertically
and if possible directly above the
exhaust connection.
Connection for air extraction
Condensate traps are available from
builders merchants.
