cooking smoke and odors only.

Be certain your appliance is prop

erly installed and grounded by a

qualified technician. To guarantee the electrical safety of this appliance, continuity must exist between the appliance and an effective grounding system. It is imperative that this basic safety requirement be met. If there is any doubt, have the electrical system of the house checked by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer can not be held responsible for damages caused by the lack, or inadequacy of, an effective grounding system.

CAUTION For General Ventilating Use Only. Do Not Use To Exhaust Hazardous Or Explosive Materials And Vapors.

Before connecting the appliance to

the power supply make sure that

the voltage and frequency listed on the data plate correspond with the household electrical supply. This data must correspond to prevent machine damage. Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.

Installation work and repairs should

only be performed by a qualified

technician in accordance with all applicable codes and standards. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous and the manufacturer will not be held responsible.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

This equipment is not designed for

maritime use or for use in mobile installations such as caravans or air craft. However, under certain conditions it may be possible for an installation in these applications. Please contact the nearest Miele dealer or the Miele Tech nical Service Department with specific requirements.

Before servicing or cleaning the

unit, switch power off at the service panel and lock the service disconnect ing means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting means can not be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.

Before discarding an old

appliance, unplug it from the power supply and remove the power cord and any doors to prevent hazards.

Use

Do not allow children to play with

or operate the appliance or its controls. Supervise its use by the elderly or infirm.

Be careful when preparing a

flambé beneath the hood. Flames may be drawn up into the hood by the suction or grease filters may catch fire.

Never operate gas burners without

pots.

Do not leave cooking surfaces

unattended while in use. Overheated food, oil and grease can catch fire.

Do not use the hood without the

grease filters in place.

Clean the grease filters regularly.

Dirty filters are a fire hazard.

Do not use a steam cleaner to

clean the hood. Steam could penetrate electrical components and cause a short circuit.

In areas subject to infestation by

cockroaches or other pest, keep the appliance and its surroundings clean at all times. Any damage caused by cockroaches or other pest will not be covered under warranty.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

, WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:

Never leave surface units unat

tended at high settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.

Always turn hood "ON" when cook

ing at high heat or when cooking flaming foods.

Clean ventilating fans frequently.

Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.

Use proper pan size. Always use

cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element.

, WARNING TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

SMOTHER FLAMES with a close

fitting lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray, then turn off the burner. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS.

If the flames do not go out immediately,

EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING

PAN - You may be burned.

DO NOT USE WATER, including

wet dishcloths or towels - a violent steam explosion will result.

Use an extinguisher

ONLY IF: – You know you have a Class ABC

extinguisher, and you already know how to operate it.

–

The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.

–

The fire department is being called.

–

You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Installation

, WARNING To reduce the risk of fire, only

use metal ductwork.

When installing the hood, follow the

recommended minimum safety distances between a Miele cooktop and the hood:

22" (55 cm) above electric cooktops,

–

26" (65 cm) above gas cooktops,

–

26" (65 cm) above an open grill.

– If local building codes require a greater

safety distance, follow their requirement.

For non-Miele cooking appliances maintain the safety distances recommended by the appliance manufacturer in their installation and operating instructions. If there is more than one appliance beneath the hood and they have different minimum safety distances always select the greater distance.

Never connect an exhaust hood to

an active chimney, dryer vent, vent flue, or room ventilating ductwork. Seek professional advice before connecting an exhaust hood vent to an existing, inactive chimney or vent flue.

Ducted fans must always be

vented outdoors.

Make sure that the airflow in the

room is sufficient for combustion and exhausting of all non-electric heat ing appliances (water heaters, gas cooktops, gas ovens, etc.), otherwise backdrafts may occur. Follow the heat ing manufacturer’s guidelines and safety standards or those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), or the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE). If in doubt, consult an experienced professional.

Be careful not to damage hidden electrical wiring or plumbing when

cutting or drilling into the wall or ceiling.

Do not use an extension cord to

connect the appliance to electricity. Extension cords do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance, (e.g. danger of overheating).

Do not install this hood over

cooktops burning solid fuel.

Any fittings, sealant, or materials

used to install the ductwork must be made of approved non-flammable materials.

Functional description

The hood offers two modes of opera tion:

Air extraction

The air is drawn in and cleaned by the grease filters and directed outside.

The hood comes equipped with a non-return flap. This flap 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 flap blowing the inside air and cooking odors outside.

Recirculation mode

Air is drawn through the grease filters and an active charcoal filter. The fil tered air is then recirculated back into the kitchen through a vent at the top of the hood’s chimney.

Before using the hood in recirculation mode, ensure that the active charcoal filter is in place, see "Cleaning and care".

Operation

Main power switch

Press the main power switch to "I".

The fan and lighting are ready to use.

If the appliance is not going to be used for a long period of time (e.g. while va cationing) it should be turned off at the main power switch to "0".

The next time it is turned on, the hood will operate at the level previously used.

Turning on the fan

^ Press the On/Off button.

Selecting the power level

Use the _ controls to select the

desired power level.

& =increases the fan speed $ =decreases the fan speed

Level "1" to "3" (green indicators) are usually sufficient for normal cooking.

Intensive setting

Level "4" (yellow indicator) should be used for a short period when frying or cooking food with a strong aroma.

Fan performance

The maximum air flow capacity is 625 cfm. Factors such as narrow duct diameter and bends will affect this value.

There will also be a slight decrease in airflow for hoods operated in recirculation mode due to the active charcoal filter.

Level 1 operates at 40% capacity Level 2 operates at 60% capacity Level 3 operates at 80% capacity Level 4 operates at 100% capacity
